Sonny Burns, like fellow Starday artist, Eddie Noack was another superb and underrated Texas honky tonk singer. BUrns started his career as a guitarist in Noack's band before striking out on his own and recorded a fine series of honky tonk tunes for Starday including a cover of Noack's Too Hot To Handle. Burns was a close friend of George Jones and two of the tracks here feature duets with George - Wrong About and Heartbroken Me. Other songs include Powder & Paint/ A Place For Girls Like You/ Waltzing With Sin/ Invitations (To Your Wedding)/ You'' Look A Long Time/ Satan's A-Waitin'/ If You See My Baby/ Bottom Of The Bottle and more including the powerful Girl Of The Street and his one attempt at rockabilly A Real Cool Cat.
