Biography
Details regarding the existence and professional path of Blind Leroy Garnett stay minimal, resting solely on the belief that his roots lay in the Fort Worth region of Texas. His keyboard approach merged boogie-woogie with ragtime, yielding eight sides cut between 1929 and 1930 that spotlighted vocals from James Wiggins, himself a highly talented blues pianist, together with Marie Griffin. A pair of those Paramount Records sides arose during an October 1929 session with Wiggins in Richmond, VA.
