A reader sent this fab photo in after the sad news of Scott Walker’s passing.
We will cover many of the man’s albums here in the years to come but a tip of the hat to a blazingly original recording artist whose continued musical influence far outstrips his sales figures.
In case you are interested in hearing how late period Scott Walker would handle a pop song, here is “Man From Reno,” his fantastic movie theme to Toxic Affair. As usual, Walker’s lyrics are as playful and brilliant as they are cryptic: “Zodiac killers drain their hands and wipe away the shadows from the walls/Neighbors all say he has no friends/His friends all say you’ve got him by the balls.”
