"Murphy, an accomplished guitarist (probably best known for his starring role in the widely acclaimed film The Blues Brothers) was a highly sought-after player who could hold his own in any blues band, and this 28-track collection covers Matt making the rounds, working as a session player with such notables as Memphis Slim, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, and more ... Track for track, Matt Murphy plays consistently superb guitar on this compilation. His tone is clear, licks are sweet, and the "Guitar" moniker given to him by Memphis Slim was both well-earned and honored".
