Edward Andrews (October 9, 1914 – March 8, 1985) was an American actor, one of the most recognizable character actors on television and films between the 1950s and the 1980s. His stark white hair, portly build and horn-rimmed glasses added to the type of roles he received, as he was often cast as an ornery boss, a cagey businessman, or a strict disciplinarian of some type.

Andrews only recorded two songs. However, for a such an obscure artist his one record has been the subject of much debate over the years. Many call his one record the first country blues record ever recorded, while others lean on Sylvester Weaver who recorded five months prior to Andrews. The sides recorded by Weaver were guitar instrumentals, so this could be regarded as the very first recorded country blues with vocals. Weaver recorded several sides by himself and with his partner Walter Beas
