ALBUM

Scott 4 (1969)

Released under his birth name Scott Engel, this was the first of his albums to consist entirely of self-penned material, with no covers or Jacques Brel translations. It failed to chart at the time but has since been reassessed as one of his strongest records.

Artist

Scott Engel

Scott Engel, better known as Scott Walker, was an American-born singer-songwriter who spent much of his career in the United Kingdom. He started out as a teen pop figure and a member of the Walker Brothers before moving into orchestral ballads and increasingly experimental solo work. His voice was a rich baritone, and his songwriting drew on dark, literary subjects that set him apart from most of his contemporaries.
