Blues singer Shaun Murphy looks back on a remarkable career spanning more than five decades. In this conversation, she talks with music journalist Peter Schavemaker about the life-changing moment she first saw Big Mama Thornton perform at the 1969 Ann Arbor Blues Festival, the inspiration behind her new album Brand New Blues, and why honesty remains the foundation of every song she records. Murphy also reflects on memorable collaborations with Eric Clapton, Bob Seger and Little Feat, the creative freedom of releasing music on her own label, and her enduring passion for the blues as both a musical style and a way of life.
