Synopsis: Scott Walker has travelled from teen idol to the outer limits of music. From The Sun Aint Gonna Shine Any More reaching no.1 through to recordings of meat being punched on his last album, The Drift, he somehow seems to have reached a passionate and committed fan base, and his impeccable critical reputation as a serious and uncompromising musician has never been under question. The recent film, 30th Century Man, had a litany of stars queuing up to praise Walker: the likes of David Bowie, Damon Albarn, Jarvis Cocker, Radiohead, Johnny Marr and Sting. But despite this, in forty years of music, there has yet to be a serious book on Scott Walker. This collection put together by Rob Young of The Wire features previously published articles and newly commissioned pieces, largely drawn from the orbit of The Wire magazine. Featured writers include the likes of Bob Stanley and Ian Penman.
