***Scott 3, originally released in 1969, marked a big change in SCOTT WALKER’s approach to albums as, for the first time, the record is dominated by his original compositions. In fact, the only other songwriter that makes it onto the album is Walker's idol, Belgium's legendary singer/songwriter Jacques Brel. Scott 3 again features string heavy production courtesy of WALLY SCOTT, though it occasionally moves out of pop ballad territory into a more cinematic feel influenced by Ennio Morricone among others. A huge influence on folks like David Bowie and Nick Cave, as well as just about anybody on the 4AD label.
