The Country Boy Eddie Show was a long-running morning music, variety and talk show created and hosted by "Country Boy Eddie" Burns. It aired from 1958 to December 29, 1995.
The show originated as a midnight program featuring Burns' band on WAPI-TV (Channel 13). It was picked up as a segment on the Tom York Morning Show on WBRC, and then spun off to the 4:00 - 7:00 AM slot where it rapidly became one of the most popular morning shows in the market.
The show was known for featuring unknown musicians and giving them a shot at a live tv audience. Most notably a then-unknown Tammy Wynette was discovered on the show in 1965.
