Matt Murphy(1929-2018)
- Actor
- Soundtrack
Born in Sunflower, Mississippi, in 1929, Matt "Guitar" Murphy is known
as one of the most respected sidemen in the blues. He has played on
albums and in concerts for everyone from
Memphis Slim and
James Cotton to
'Bobby Blue Bland' and Junior Parker (he
even made an appearance in
Les Blues Brothers (1980)).
Unlike many sidemen, however, he cut very few records on his own, and
it wasn't until 1990 that he released his first album, "Way Down
South".
