In the final 35 years of his life, Walker released a small number of experimental albums, including Climate Of Hunter (1984) and Tilt (1995), which Walker said was 10 years in the making. Perhaps the greatest is 2006’s The Drift (2006). This complex, grandiose album is full of poetic, strange lyrics on memorable tracks such as “Cossacks Are.” The s...
Walker admitted that he suffered periods of draining depression in the early 70s when his output was more varied. After the uneven 1970 album ’Til the Band Comes In(which contained the excellent “The War Is Over,” one of Jarvis Cocker’s favorite songs of all time), Walker took to drinking heavily and issued a series of uninspired albums. In 1975, h...
In the sleeve notes to Scott 4, Walker quotes Albert Camus. “A man’s work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.” That summed up his approach to a remarkable album which included the political reflections of “The Old Man’s Back Aga...
Scott 4, released in November 1969, came after Walker had starred in his own BBC television series and issued the album Scott Walker Sings Songs from his TV Series. Walker wrote all ten songs on Scott 4and, though it failed to chart, the album is a tour de force. The evocative opening song, “The Seventh Seal” (about the Ingmar Bergman film), set th...
When Stephen Kijak made a documentary about Walker in 2006 – which had David Bowie as executive producer – it was called 30 Century Man. The film was named after his brief song of that name on Scott 3 – and it remains one of the best Scott Walker songs (it was used in the soundtrack of Wes Anderson’s movie The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou). Over ...
“Copenhagen,” which is just over two minutes long, is possibly Walker’s most romantic song. The man who wrote so many songs about pain and life’s misfits sings cheerily about happy children in this uplifting ballad.
Scott 3 was released in March 1969 and, for most fans, it was Walker’s finest album to date. This was much more a solo album than any before, with ten self-written songs and three from the pen of Jacques Brel. Heavy orchestration remained a defining element of Walker’s music, and the wonderful miniature character study “Big Louise” was about a woma...
From Scott’s second solo album, Scott 2 (an album featuring the lush arrangements of Wally Stott), “Plastic Palace People” has a hint of 60s psychedelia. Walker’s beguiling lyrics, about a protagonist called Billy who floats freely above the city, were written under his real name, Noel Scott Engel. He also wrote “The Amorous Humphrey Plugg” for Sco...
“La Chanson De Jacky” – by Jacques Brel and Gérard Jouannest – was translated into English and retitled “Jackie” by Walker. The opening cowboy-style fanfare launches a bizarre, lovelorn song about debauched café eccentrics. The words are delivered in a commanding, humorous style by Walker’s expressive baritone.
“Joanna” was written by married couple Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent, with some contributions from Walker, including the last line of the song, “You may remember me and change your mind.” The song shows the power of Walker’s voice. “Scott was inspired by people like Jack Jones, really technical singers,” said singer Richard Hawley. “The timbre of his...
