Lucky Charm has the electric boogie, country blues, acoustic blues, funk blues, rock blues, jazzy blues. This is blues you can use. Recorded dangerously, Roesch- style, that is, floor style in a large ambient room, Lucky Charm has the sound and intensity of a live Matt Murphy performance. Tom Barney bassist from NBC's SNL and the new albums from Steely Dan and Lauryn Hill. Drummer Floyd Murphy, Jr., Matt's nephew, nails all the grooves with the skill of a veteran who has toured the world with his uncle for over 15 years.
Familiarity breeds funk.
Following on the heels of his latest RIAA Gold Record for his previous Roesch release, The Blues Don't Bother Me on the Blues Brothers 2000 Soundtrack, Lucky Charm pushes the blues into the New Millennium. Lucky Charm showcases his trademark mix of jazzy blues runs, open-string flourishes, and tight rhythm playing. From start to finish this is some of the finest Blues we've heard to date. If you are looking for a tight band, a legendary performer who is as flawless as perfection itself, then look no further than Matt Guitar Murphy, along with Tom Barney, Leon Pendarvis, Floyd Murphy Jr also joined by the Blues Brother Horns. This is a fine collection from one of the mainstays in blues guitar.
