Scott Walker:
🎵 The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist Regime)

#ScottWalker

I listened to the first #BlackCountryNewRoad album last night, twice. #IsaacWood’s voice reminds me a bit of #ScottWalker. “Science Fair” is interesting. But I was surprised: this kind of album—spoken word, free jazz—should’ve been right up my alley, but it just didn’t grab me the way similar band #BlackMIDI did.

One of the best (and most cynical) anti-war songs of pop history:

Scott Walker - Hero Of The War (1969)

“He's a hero of the war /
“All the neighborhood is talkin' 'bout your son /
“Mrs. Reiley get his medals, hand them 'round to everyone /
“Show his gun to all the children in the street /
“It's too bad he can't shake hands or move his feet”

#OTD 1943, the exceptional singer, composer and musician #ScottWalker was born.

Here's the opener from his 2006 album 'The Drift', 'Cossacks Are':

(The count on that song drives me crazy. It's 5/4 … but then it's not?!)

From Jacques Brel to Scott Walker and Bowie, "My Death" ("La Mort") remains one of the most powerful songs ever written. This new version by Neil Hunt and Sue Dutton Music weaves in the Martinic AX73 for a touch of modern atmosphere.
