Though the gig certainly did wonders for his profile, Murphy was already a very well-known and -respected blues guitarist by the time he hooked up with Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi. Born in Sunflower, Mississippi and raised in Memphis, Murphy gigged with Howlin' Wolf, Little Junior Parker and Bobby "Blue" Bland before hooking up with pianist Memphis Slim. Murphy spent most of the 1950s as Slim's guitarist, and his hot licks on tunes like "Sassy Mae" enabled him to find plenty of work once Slim split for France in the early 1960s. Since then, he's recorded with Chuck Berry, Sonny Boy Williamson, Otis Rush, Etta James, Buddy Guy and James Cotton, among others. Murphy's post-Blues Brothers career has mostly involved leading his own band; he's released two albums in the last decade, 1990's Way Down South and 1996's Blues Don't Bother Me.     Matt "Guitar" Murphy Gonna Be Some Changes Made MP3 Blues A soul-oriented track from the erstwhile Blues Brothers guitarist.
