I confess: I don't know that I like Scott Walker's music. I'm new to it, but I haven't taken to the arrangements, or the vocals. It's interesting, yet very schmaltzy.
#GreatAlbums1960s - #ScottWalker – Scott 4 (1969). Having shed the teen idol residues of the Walker Brothers, Scott Walker (nee Engel) beat his own dark path on his fourth solo LP, shattering pop’s conventional boundaries on cinematic “The Seventh Seal,” political soapboxes “Hero of the War” and “The Old Man’s Back Again,” and lyrical character studies “Boy Child” and “Duchess.” Ignored upon release, Scott 4 eventually won favour as a maverick outing by a true musical eccentric. #GreatPopAlbums
