One hell of a great “Blues Man”! Very much underrated!

Let’s remember the life and music of Matt “Guitar”
Murphy, who passed away on this day back in 2018.

🎙️ “When you mention Matt “Guitar” Murphy around people who think they know something about blues music, but really don’t…you frequently get a response of rolled eyes.”

“See, Murphy is mostly known by his work in the Blues Brothers movies and not his works in the studio and on the stage. If that’s all you know about him, you are cheating yourself. The credentials are there, and Murphy has played with some of the greats of the scene.”

“Since taking up the guitar at the age of 13, Murphy has worked with Howlin’ Wolf, Little Junior Parker, Ike Turner, James Cotton, Otis Rush, Etta James, Sonny Boy Williamson, Chuck Berry, Little Junior Parker, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Memphis Slim and Etta James, while touring with Muddy Waters, Big Joe Williams and others too numerous to mention.” - Derrick Lordy
