Murphy recently posted a mini-album entitled, The Austin, TX Sessions (1984-1985). These four songs are in a more Pop vein than you have ever heard from him before!

Austin Jimmy Murphy's collection, "A History of Blues," has WON a SAMMY (Syracuse Area Music Award)! Murphy is from Syracuse, NY, and in August 2012 he released this box set of blues that includes four CDs and a 12-page booklet. The SAMMYs are an annual award presentation to local musicians of all genres. Murphy won a SAMMY in 1997 in the category "Best Concert Event or Series" for the New York State Budweiser Blues Festival. The awards are voted on by the people of that region.  CONGRATS!
