July 4, 2022 Records of the Day

Following World War II, Detroit was a mecca for Blues artists like Eddie “Guitar” Burns. Influenced heavily by artists like Sonny Boy Williamson and Big Bill Bronzy, Burns soon found himself cutting sessions with Blues legend, John Lee Hooker. In 1952 Deluxe Records released the Eddie Burns single “Hello Miss Jessie Lee.” It’s worth up to $500.00. In 1957 he hit with “Treat Me Like I Treat You.” That 78 on J-V-B Records can sell for $600.00 today.
