Scott Walker – Scott 2

Scott Walker was a British-American singer-songwriter, composer and record producer who resided in England. Walker was known for his baritone voice and an unorthodox career path which took him from 1960s teen pop icon to 21st-century avant-garde musician. Walker’s 1960s recordings were highly regarded by the 1980s UK underground music scene, and gained a cult following. He was described by the BBC upon his death as “one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in rock history”. Scott 2 is his second solo album, released in 1968. Featuring the hit “Jackie”, it arrived at the height of Walker’s commercial success as a solo artist, topping the UK Albums Chart. This album, alongside Scott, features Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound” recording technique.
