Matt Murphy was born in Sunflower, Mississippi and was educated in Memphis, where his father worked at the Peabody Hotel. He played with Howlin' Wolf as early as 1948, Little Junior Parker was also in the band at the time). By 1952, Murphy was in Chicago, where he began his long association with Memphis Slim by playing on his dates for United Records and Vee Jay Records, including the album, At The Gate of Horn (1959).
He was already a legend among serious guitarists by the 1960s, famed for the incredibly fast and intricate blues riffs that would soon change rock and roll. A partial list of artists with whom Matt has performed with include Robert Lockwood Jr., Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Little Junior Parker, Ike Turner, Memphis Slim, James Cotton, Otis Rush, Etta James, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Chuck Berry, Joe Louis Walker, the Zaichik Brothers and The Blues Brothers
He played with some of these bands for many years (for example, 20 years in a row with Memphis Slim), while others were just sessions during his work at Chess Records..
He can be seen in the films The Blues Brothers and Blues Brothers 2000, where he plays Aretha Franklin's hen-pecked husband. Work thereafter with The Blues Brothers turned him into one of the best-known blues guitarists in the United States.
When Matt moved to Miami, Florida he started searching the internet for recorded shows from the past. Nothing of note came in until Pat Biddle, who was the sound engineer at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia for a decade contacted Matt. After reviewing all of the recordings, Matt feels that this is an authentic representation of Roadhouse Blues as he had come to remember over his decades of time with James Cotton, Memphis Slim and Howlin' Wolf. A totally Live Recording, a clear snapshot of post-Blues Brothers Matt "Guitar" Murphy while he was in charge of all his majestic fret prowess with a fabulous band of musicians captured live off the sound board.
