Scott Walker's initial fame came in the 1960s as a member of the balladeering Walker Brothers, a group that rivaled the Beatles and the Stones in popularity in Britain. But Walker had much more to offer, and he did so in an acclaimed solo career that stretched over decades, encompassing timeless love songs, film scores, tone poems, fractured narratives, and audio nightmares. Walker's influence on the alternative music scene has been enormous; here readers get a close-up look at his entire career, including lesser-known works, and what drives this unique, enduring talent.
