Track listing

Reception

The record is listed as an "Album Pick" on AllMusic. Reviewing for the site, Bill Dahl commented the guitarist "acquits himself most competently here, mixing blues, funk, R&B, and a little jazz into his sparkling fretwork. His brother Floyd Murphy, a Memphis blues guitar legend himself, is on hand for a family reunion."
