James "Boodle It" Wiggins

His best known recordings were "Keep Knockin' An You Can't Get In", a precursor of both "Keep A-Knockin'" and "I Hear You Knocking"; plus his versions of "Corrine, Corrina" and "Shave 'Em Dry", albeit slightly re-titled.

[1][2][3] His accompanists on his recorded work are thought to include variously Bob Call, Blind Leroy Garnett, and Charlie Spand on piano.

[1] The pianist on the track is believed to be Bob Call, who some time later played accompaniment to Big Bill Broonzy, Jazz Gillum, Robert Nighthawk, and Arbee Stidham.

[9] Whereas in Grafton, Wiggins recorded his version of "Gotta Shave 'Em Dry", and "Corrine Corrina Blues"[1] with a boogie-woogie accompaniment by the pianist, Charlie Spand.

", reported that Bob Hall and Richard Noblett had analyzed Wiggins' recordings, and cast doubts on the accepted identifications of the pianists.

For Wiggins's final recording "Corinne Corinna" and "Gotta Shave 'Em Dry", Charlie Spand had been suggested but no firm conclusions were drawn.

[7][10] Wiggins survived a lynching in Bogalusa, Louisiana, in 1929, when a white woman took offence at his refusal to step aside for her on a public street.

[1] Several of his tracks have appeared on various compilation albums, including Boogie Woogie & Barrelhouse Piano Vol.
