NPR Website overview:

John William Boone was a blind African-American pianist and composer from Missouri, the son of a runaway slave. Still, he became a pioneer in the development of 20th century popular music. But his contributions to Americana would be lost if not for the efforts of John Davis. We speak with Davis about his latest CD, “Marshfield Tornado: John Davis Plays Blind Boone.”

Product Description
At last comes the release of Marshfield Tornado: John Davis Plays Blind Boone, the follow-up to John Davis Plays Blind Tom, the top-ten selling, critically acclaimed CD of piano works by the Georgia slave sensation, Thomas Wiggins. With Marshfield Tornado, Davis’ latest recording, John William ‘Blind’ Boone (1864-1927), a sightless black pianist from Missouri who modeled his career after Blind Tom’s, will assume his rightful place as the last of a trio of overlapping nineteenth-century pianist/composers (before Boone came Louis Moreau Gottschalk and Blind Tom) who were seminal links between rural African-American folk culture of the Deep South and the more urban Rhythm & Blues, Jazz, and Pop styles to emerge in the twentieth century. As John Davis Plays Blind Tom did for Thomas Wiggins, Marshfield Tornado should do for Boone – draw further attention to heretofore unacknowledged American roots music and to a seminal figure in the development of twentieth-century popular music in the United States.
