#ScottWalker s #Scott4 erschien 1969. Als 1. Album mit ausschließlich eigenen Songs markierte es einen Wendepunkt. Trotz künstlerischer Qualität verfehlte es die Charts. Die Single #TheSeventhSeal, inspiriert von Bergmans Film, wurde nur in Japan veröffentlicht. Nach diesem kommerziellen Misserfolg kehrte Walker zunächst zu Coverversionen zurück, bevor er später seinen experimentellen Weg fortsetzte. Er starb heute vor 6 Jahren.

#GreatAlbums1960s - #ScottWalker – Scott 4 (1969). Having shed the teen idol residues of the Walker Brothers, Scott Walker (nee Engel) beat his own dark path on his fourth solo LP, shattering pop’s conventional boundaries on cinematic “The Seventh Seal,” political soapboxes “Hero of the War” and “The Old Man’s Back Again,” and lyrical character studies “Boy Child” and “Duchess.” Ignored upon release, Scott 4 eventually won favour as a maverick outing by a true musical eccentric.

Oh, and on this #TuneTuesday theme - this isn't another suggestion, as I've not seen the film, just an aside.

I read that, apparently, The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated To The Neo-Stalinist Regime) is used in one of Michael Bay's Transformers films. Really? Scott Walker? Michael Bay? The mind boggles.

Anyway, there's no such thing as a bad excuse to post a Scott song.

'Incapable of understanding the reality': Scott Walker’s meltdown about #GenZ voters blows up in his face

Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta: "'Young voters are the issue.' This is giving real Scooby-Doo villain energy. We would have gotten away with it without those meddling kids."
