Uncle Walt's Band, from Spartanburg, South Carolina, was an eclectic music trio that moved to Nashville in 1972 and shortly thereafter to Austin at the urging of Willis Alan Ramsey. An attempt at an album proved unsuccessful , so the band headed back to Spartanburg in 1974 where they recorded their debut LP, 'Blame It On the Bossa Nova', now titled, 'Uncle Walt's Band'. A second indie album, 'An American in Texas' was released in 1980. In 2018, Omnivore released 'Anthology: Those Boys From Carolina, They Sure Enough Could Sing...' (titled after a quote from Lyle Lovett) on CD. The ecstatic response renewed interest in the classic original band, whose influence was so strong on not only Country music, but the then unnamed genre of Americana. That collection is now reimagined on LP, containing two songs making their vinyl debut - Anthology's 'Getaway' (featured on HBO's 'Silicon Valley') and a previously unissued fiddle demo of 'I'll Come Knockin'' (different than the Anthology version and exclusive to the vinyl release).
