Comments

There was always ‘something’ about Scott Walker’s impossibly rich baritone that grabbed the listener’s attention.

Treading carefully and occasionally stumbling along a career that combined orchestral ballads with increasing artistic innovations in compositional work and arranging, the American born – yet UK domiciled – singer/songwriter continues to garner rave reviews whilst dividing his audience.

I love his 60s/early 70’s work but three decades of foray into the world of avant-garde has left me bemused and rather cold.

Please Scott – another album of soaring ballads just for the old timers. Maybe even a Bond theme – at least there’ll be an Oscar in it for you, no matter what the quality………………………….

Recommended listening

Scott (1967)

Available from Spectrum Music, Scott’s debut solo release is now available in a 5 classic albums remastered release on compact disc. For those familiar with Walker’s music through his avant-garde material from the last two decades, these highly arranged and orchestrated pop records seem to come from another world, yet the dark and strange themes were already there.

Nevertheless, his early forays into the world of solo stardom suggested a man more in tune with mainstream MOR than late 60’s counterculture, as evidenced by the conventionally gorgeous, string-heavy music he was targeting at housewives and elderly people.
