Review
Scott Walker was born Noel Engel in Ohio more than 50 years ago, moved to England in 1965, and scored a series of pop hits there--initially as a member of the Walker Brothers, a duo in which neither member was named Walker, nor were they siblings. From 1967 onward, he worked solo. Walker charted only once in his homeland, but he connected regularly in England between '65 and '69 with rueful, heavily-orchestrated pop statements that sounded like Engelbert Humperdinck crossed with Louis-Ferdinand Celine. This overview features 17 flamboyant psychodramas. Walker's work faded into the ether for a couple of decades following their release (at least where Americans were concerned), only to catch on with a morose brood that includes Mark Eitzel, Nick Cave, Marc Almond, and Eric Matthews. The likes of "The Old Man's Back (Dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist Regime)" may take some getting used to, but, at a minimum, one must pay heed to a deadpan socialist teen idol who hosted his own variety show. --Steven Stolder
