Starting in 1949 Eddie ‘Guitar’ Burns recorded with John Lee Hooker and made records under his own name for Detroit based labels whilst never being a full-time professional musician. This is the first CD to be devoted to the great Detroit bluesman who became hugely popular in the UK and Europe in the 1970s recording and touring regularly. In 1961 he recorded the classic “Orange Driver” which surprisingly featured Marvin Gaye on drums. The song was revived in the 1970s by the J. Geils Band. This is an interesting release and it closes with two singles Eddie recorded for the great Detroit harmonica player, Little Sonny. Fully detailed liner notes.
