It was 20 years ago this month (May 11, 1996) that Walter Hyatt died in a plane crash. Hyatt was the founding member of Uncle Walt's Band in the 70s and 80s, then went on to a solo career in the 1990s. All three of his solo albums, including the posthumously released Some Unfinished Business, are still available, but both of his Uncle Walt's Band cd releases are out of print, so I thought I'd right that wrong and post them here tonight. I should also mention just how sublime his first solo release King Tears is - still one of my top ten albums from the 90s.

Hi guys the Uncle Walts showing as virus can you look into it
Aussie Rob,
I think it's just an issue with Zippyshare - I downloaded a different file and got a virus message. Just ignore it and close down, then re-open Google Chrome once it's finished downloading.
Many many thanks for posting these!
Codeg,
Quite welcome!

Thanks! Would you be willing to update the Girl on the Sunny Store link?
Just re-upped it. Enjoy!
The link is down for An American in Texas... any chance for a re-up?
@gregandbrenda,
Ask and ye shall receive.
Both links are down.... are either of these items still available? Thanks.
Just did it. Enjoy!

Is there any way to repost this Uncle Walt's post? I hosted Walter at a local festival in the '90s when he was touring with Lyle Lovette and my computer crashed and I lost all of my music except for King Tears.
Texmarc,
I'm sorry, but I don't want to post entire albums that are commercially available (Omnivore reissued them with bonus tracks). When I posted them, they were out of print.
best,
Ish
