Thomas Edward "Edd" Mayfield (April 12, 1926 – July 7, 1958) was a Bluegrass singer and guitarist, mostly known for being a member of Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys band during the 1950s.
The Mayfield Brothers were offered a recording contract, but turned it down because of the business of the family's Green Valley Ranch.
At the time he joined the Bluegrass Boys, Edd Mayfield was described as "a handsome, tough-as-barbed-wire cowpuncher, who literally grew up on a ranch, who could ride hard, lasso accurately, and literally toss and tie up a bull.
He contracted leukemia, became ill while on the road with the band, and within 3 days of being stricken, died at a hospital in Bluefield, West Virginia.
Mayfield was married to Jo McLain and the couple had two sons, Freddie and Carl.
