Music reviews of Scott 2
Music Review: Art Redeeming Life
Rating: 5 Stars
Scott 2 is the second solo album of the legendary musician Scott Walker (a.k.a. Engel). In addition to rendering his sublime voice and impassioned interpretations to three Jacques Brel pieces and others, he also wrote four original pieces for this album: The Amorous Humphrey Plugg, The Girls from the Street, Plastic Palace People, and The Bridge. These songs suggest that Scott is gifted not only with a superb capacity to communicate complex emotions but also with a mind that can observe the social realities of human existence in a realistic manner. (His songs at times remind me of Sherwood Anderson's novel, Winesburg, Ohio.) Most of the selected songs here are not "pretty" in a conventional way (for instance, Come Next Spring, which can be sung in a straightforwardly romantic way, becomes a song of irredeemable loss due to the tragically nuanced delivery of Scott's singing voice); but they definitely engage the listeners' hearts and minds in a profound manner. To listen to Scott's singing voice is to be moved by it. I highly recommend this album to anybody who appreciates complexity and ambiguity of human emotional life.
