Cool Albums Reconsidere 3/4 Walter Hyatt, Rickie Lee Jones
Walter Hyatt’s King Tears was released in 1996. Hyatt had performed for years in the super Texas group, Uncle Walt’s Band. If you like great vocals, check out Walter Hyatt. He only released two solo albums before he was killed in an airplane crash in Florida. Picking a favorite Rickie Lee Jones album is like deciding which finger you like best. But since I’m in the 90s here, I’m going with Pop Pop, a collection of old standards and movie tunes. As always, the Duchess of Coolsville was cool before it was cool.
