Music reviews of Scott
Music Review: AWESOME MUSIC
Rating: 5 Stars
I have to fall into the cat. of 'loving his solo music the instant I heard it' cat. I was browsing at a local record store a few years back when one of the employees there played some music from one of Scott Walker's albums. I immediately asked who that was they were playing. I know I purchased at least one of his first 4 albums that day and the other 3 were soon to follow.
His existential rainy-day troubadour crooning-a very long winded way of saying great(imho)music, is thought provoking and intellegent music that is very unique in the annals of popular music. As almost all of the other reviewer's have said, his music is not, (I was going to say not for everyone, but in a way it sort of is) it will not be to everyone's taste. Though anyone who might be a little adventurous in their taste in music and who likes finely orchestrated tunes led by a very descriptive vocalist with a great voice shouldn't hesitate to get not only this cd, but also the other 3 first solo cd's of his (Scott 2-Scott 3 and Scott 4). Also, having at least a closet introvert streak can be an added plus for enjoying and finding meaning from these very personal songs. One of my personal favorites from his albums is a very descriptive telling of one of my favorite movies, that being "The Seventh Seal". As I listen to it, I find it hard to imagine anyone describing that movie in song any better than here. It just seems to have captured the essence and feeling of the film perfectly.
I've babled long enough. If you haven't yet, read A. Hickman's critque above. It is very fine and I agree with it whole heartedly. Enjoy no only this but SW's first four albums.
