Bobby's debut on No Cover. This is also the first recording of Bobby's new Detroit based band. Recorded at No Cover's Straight Ahead Studios, in between stints touring with Etta James, Frankie Lee and his own Bobby Murray Band. With four songwriters in the band, they have plenty of original material, which varies from jazzy blues instrumentals to funky hard-driving blues in the Freddie King style. Most of the songs on the CD are sung by Lenny Watkins; with Bobby, himself, doing vocals on "Conversation".

Longtime sideman Bobby Murray shines on his solo debut album, The Blues Is Now. Murray wisely hired Freddie Hughes and Frankie Lee as vocalists, freeing him to concentrate on his guitar. And he's a fine guitarist, as he proves here, turning out jazzy, classy solos that separate him from the rest of the crowd. That's the key to The Blues Is Now -- Murray plays it cool where others play it hot, and that turns out to be rather refreshing. ~Thom Owens
