171. Scott Walker - Scott 4

Release Date: 1969
Label: Philips

Scott 4 continues the run of great albums that I've had the pleasure of listening to today. Like Scott 2 this record is a delight to listen to from start to finish. Walker's distinctive baritone is perfect for the baroque musical style.

130. Scott Walker - Scott 2

Release Date: 1968
Label: Philips

A few years ago I bought a triple CD of the Walker Brother's greatest hits, but I don't think I've ever really appreciated Scott Walker until now. From the opening gallop of Jackie, Scott 2 is a wonderful record. Walker has a smooth baritone that is represented fully on this album. It is easy for me to imagine him as the link between Frank Sinatra and The Last Shadow Puppets.
