Thomas Lesslie "Snuff" Garrett (July 5, 1938 – December 16, 2015) was an American record producer whose most famous work was during the 1960s and 1970s. His nickname is a derivation of Levi Garrett, a brand of snuff.
Biography
At seventeen, Garrett was a disc jockey in Lubbock, Texas, where he met Buddy Holly. He is often still mentioned on the Lubbock oldies station KDAV on a program hosted by his friend Jerry "Bo" Coleman. Garrett also worked in radio in Wichita Falls, Texas, where he performed on-air stunts. On February 3, 1959, Garrett broadcast his own tribute show to Holly after he was killed (along with Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper) in a plane crash in Iowa.
In 1959, Garrett became a staff producer at Liberty Records in Hollywood at the age of 19, after having joined the label to work in the promotions department. Although not a musician, Garrett showed he had a knack for finding hit songs, going on to produce a string of hits and becoming the label's head of A&R until he left Liberty in 1966. His first job as producer for the label was on Johnny Burnette's "Settin' the Woods on Fire" on July 9, 1959. Among Garrett's roster of artists were Bobby Vee, Johnny Burnette, Gene McDaniels, Buddy Knox, Walter Brennan, Gary Lewis & the Playboys and Del Shannon.
Snuff Garrett was one of the major forces in pop music in the 60s. As a producer he worked with Vicky Carr, Cher, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Bobby Vee and so many more artists at Liberty Records.
In part 2 of our interview with Director Denny Tedesco, he talks about his documentary 'The Wrecking Crew.' Including are his father guitarist Tommy Tedesco, producer Herb Alpert, also the Monkees, Glen Campbell, Frank Sinatra, Frank Zappa, Carol Kaye, and more. Plus clips of music with guitarist Don Peake who talks about Motown and an interview with producer Tommy 'Snuff' Garrett conducted by Denny who talks about making music records.

Nasal Snuff Review W E Garrett 'American Scotch' March 18, 2017
W.E. Garrett & Sons American Scotch is a classic snuff in the southern American style. Very smoky, high nicotine, a bit difficult to sniff because of its fine grind. Moisture content in this very fresh tin is a perfect medium. 3 out of 5, simply because it's not really to my personal tastes, but your tastes might differ from ine. At less than U.S. $5.00/30 gram plastic tub, it's worth a try. This might be an excellent snuff to help a smoker transition off cigarettes.
