Matt "Guitar" Murphy is a blues guitarist. He was born 27 December 1929 in Sunflower, Mississippi, USA.

He did not have a band of his own until 1982, but did play with many famous bands. Among them (more or less chronologically):

Some of these took a lot of his lifetime (for example, he played with Memphis Slim for 20 years in a row), some were just sessions during his work at the Chess Records (obviously, Otis Rush did not need a full-time guitarist, he could play well himself, unlike piano-player Memphis Slim).

He can be seen in The Blues Brothers and Blues Brothers 2000 movies, where he plays a role which is partly true (the band's guitarist) and partly not (Aretha Franklin's husband).
