ValuJet Flight 592 crashed into the Florida Everglades in 1996, killing all aboard—including singer/songwriter Walter Hyatt. A major influence on Lyle Lovett and onetime bandmate of David Ball, Walter was at work on a new album when he passed away. Some Unfinished Business Volume One finds many of his musician friends adding their instruments and voices to flesh out the bare-bones recordings he made in the final year of his life. Most all of the additions are subtle and tasteful, meaning the focus remains on Walter and his songs rather than the technology that allowed this Business to be completed.
