Scott Walker (Noel Scott Engel) is an American singer who has lived and worked in England since 1965. Originally discovered by Eddie Fisher and cast as a late-50s teen idol under his real name, he formed The Walker Brothers in the early ’60s and performed Phil Spector-influenced ballads. In 1967 the band broke up and Scott (taking the band’s name for his own) began a solo career. His heavily orchestrated versions of songs by Jacques Brel and others, delivered in a crooning style, became immensely popular in Britain and continental Europe. Since the 1970s his output has been sporadic, first touching on country and MOR sounds, then briefly rejoining The Walker Brothers, before heading off into experimental music, yet continuing critical respect to the present day.
His albums “Tilt” and “the Drift”, differ a lot from his earlier work.
His current artistic direction is extremely avant-garde and has been described as the “sound of nightmares”.
Try playing “Paper Doll,” from Looking Back, and anything from Tilt, with headphones and liner notes. Then decide how different they are.
His musical evolution is examined in the acclaimed documentary film “Scott Walker - 30 Century Man” in which Scott gives a very candid interview about his creative process and allows access into the meat-punching and box-bashing recording sessions for 2006’s “The Drift.”

Yes, 'til The Band Comes In is rather good. Especially Little Things That Keep Us Together and Time Operator. Although I'm only going by the songs on the boxset, I've not heard all of it, shamefully.

I'd really encourage my fellow Walkerphiles to pick up 'til The Band Comes In. Some absolutely incredible tracks on this album, think of it as Scott 5, which it is, really.

Finally Scott is one of the Greatest male solo artists of the last fifty Yrs.And for me he was one of the best interpreters ofJacques Brel,and fuck Tim Harding had no better singer of his songs.Scott is a legend just played Duchess which makes my head spin in a good way.sorry for verbally diarrhoea(I know i have spelt that wrong,couldn't be arsed to look it up),and bad spelling,crap grammar-but Scott has that effect on me.What he needs to bring him to public notice is a slew of lifetime awards from the music industry.Godlike Genius be fucked,Just a God in an industry awash with pigmies
