Free Music Review: THE STERLING MAESTRO THAT IS SCOTT WALKER
Hit: 5 Stars
For those of us who are deep-steeped in the melodrama of burnished velvet orchestral movements and silver-tongued balladry of the accomplished troubadour, this compilation of Scott Walker's earlier solo work is necessitous and elemental. Originally released in 2000, the 20 compositions featured on this album are a tremendous introduction to Walker's work from 1967-1970 (before his flirtation with country/western in the 70's and his more complex exploratories from 1995 on). The tracks, in chronological order, illustrate Walker's progression from structured ballad to insightful narrative and ultimately to the roots of his recondite extractions. The swirling melodies bowed by swelling strings, the distant echoes of lustrous choruses, the unwavering vibrato--it's a thicker liquor that doesn't just get you drunk, it gets you reciting Yeats and Auden before you pass out.
And if this is all too much for you, there are other reasons to buy this CD. Because you like Pulp/Jarvis Cocker/Richard Hawley, Divine Comedy (Neil Hannon pens the introduction in the liner notes), Nick Cave, Serge Gainsbourg, and the like. Because you want an art-tinged credibility to your existing music collection. Because you're tired of predictable pop tarts and mommy-rock and you need something more gourmet and less burger bar. Do yourself a favor--put down the boy band and give the boy child a respectable listen.
