Memphis Slim in Europe with Sonny Boy Williamson II

[@JB-rw9xt]

Memphis Slim was my introduction to piano boogie woogie blues in the late 70's. Sonny Buy Williamson is one of my favorite all time harmonica players up there with Big Walter and Snooky Pryor.

[@TheDavidfallon]

Slim is so unarguably cool. His piano stylings are delicious, somehow both down-home earthy and big city sophisticated. Matt "Guitar" Murphy is a brilliant soloist and accompanist. His riffs and licks are jewels of precision and invention.

[@plutogamstrumframe]

I met Memphis Slim and shook his hand a real gent , i was fourteen , my dad knew him

[@VIN7465]

Pure Class,been listening to these guys for over 50 years,never see their like again,best of the best!

[@BENSHILA]

The unknown but very great Billy Stepney on drums.Gone at 38.God bless him

[@bholaoates1542]

Do you know if he's any relation to Charles Stepney of Earth Wind & Fire fame?

[@j.l.hennig4339]

Matt Murphy was a pretty sophistcated guitar player. It is worthwhile taking a closer look at his style. He and Memphis Slim complement each other beautifully.

[@bartcolen]

Was thinking the same thing. Matt did not play predictably at all. He was very versatile and also had a lot of country in his playing. A good pairing, because Memphis Slim was not straight down the line, either.

Matt "Guitar" Murphy was a brilliant soloist and accompanist. His riffs are jewels of precision and invention.

[@davidwilmothall]

I caught M.T. at a bar in Atlanta during the early '90s. Someone mentioned it was their friend's birthday that night. In an utterly casual, jaw-droppingly musical instant, he began playing "Happy Birthday" with "The Old Gray Mare She Ain' What She Used to Be" as counter melody. Matt Murphy said Sonny Boy Williamson was a "righteous dude"

[@JiminWestLA]

He played solo in a basement bar in the Latin Quarter of Paris in January 1974.

[@snackcakeman]

I could listen all day.

[@danielpoursac6931]

encore une très bonne composition de Blues j'adore

[@roberthaufrecht5410]

Saw Memphis Slim and Willie Dixon at Carnegie Hall with Pete Seeger....a long time ago.

[@mikkelchandler5503]

I like the way he plays the bass parts on the piano.

Otis Spann was my favorite blues piano player but Memphis Slim sure could play a mean keyboard.

My grandfather said that Creedence had stolen a Menphis Slim song(att 13.45), Creedence changed lyrics and they named this song "Susie Q" "So shameful he said"🤬he use to be so angry about that! Love from Sweden 💖
