Well. So good to hear another heartfelt tribute to Uncle Walt's Band. I went to see them every chance I got when they (and I) were situated in Nashville. That was a long time ago, but my admiration of what they were able to accomplish has never waned. For some reason they came back to mind a few months ago, and wouldn't you know, I find myself proselytizing their music all over again, like some televangelist. Right now I am wondering whether I'll ever get my CD copy of "Blame it on the BossaNova" back from the neighbor down the street. It's an emotional topic for me, all tied into the college years and my own small attempts at making music. These three fellows did something very special. It may not have greatly enriched them, but it sure enriched me.
Lovin’ UWB! Just discovered these guys. And I’m having a ball getting into them. Love stuff like this. I’ve got their first two albums, and another two (Live & Anthology) on order. Such great music. And things like this, with material not to be heard elsewhere? Fabulous. Walt, Champ, David, love you forever.
I was in and around Dallas and stumbled across Willis Alan for the first time those early '70s in Austin, He did this song and I thought, Wow, his 2nd Album can't be far off-!!
I miss these guys so much! Their arrangements, musicality and gorgeous harmonies influenced my own music career. Such joy listening to them live for so many years.
Sounds great love the picking bass sounds killer with it !! I’m learning this and nearly have it learned but need to get it grooving like you cheers from Ireland bro 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🎸🎸
Austin had soooo many special artists as the Armadillo started, then migrated into Soap Creek and all those others. Antone's. I used lament the demise of so many groups - but really Walter's and Stevie Ray's deaths were so profound - and I think world-changing. But maybe Champ's was just as far-reaching. And they weren't all.
