“This is Scott Walker’s second solo album (see cunning reference in the title) and it was actually his biggest commercial success, hitting the number 1 slot in the UK, and Jackie, its only single, getting into the Top 20. It is, essentially, a repeat of his first solo record, with that familiar ‘wall of sound’ production and Angela Morley (nee Wally Stott’s) marvellously orchestral arrangements. Like his debut, this features three Brel tracks, but we now have four of his own songs alongside five covers. . Aside from the infamous Jackie, which later hit the Top 20 24 years later when Marc Almond covered it in 1991, this album features one of my favourite Walker/Brel moments, Next. I fell utterly head over heels for this song when I first heard it as a mid-teenager. This is what suckered me in to the world of Scott Engel. The Girls From The Streets is one of Walker’s own compositions that most sounds like his attempt to write a Jacques Brel song. It’s a good effort, but not a patch on the raw dirty downtrodden lowlife Brel celebrated so well, in this album on The Girls and the Dogs. Interestingly, it was the B side to Jackie, The Plague (not on this album) which showed the direction that Walker was travelling in as a songwriter. . Time spent listening to Scott Walker is never time wasted. His voice conveys a depth of intense beauty and emotion that is rare indeed, particular for a male singer. And his lyrics have the abstract and conceptual heart of poetry. As for his later experimental work: utterly unique. A legend; sorely missed.” .

“One wonders what was going with Walker in the 11 years between Tilt and The Drift, released in 2006. It won’t come as such a shock to regular Walker listeners as Tilt did at the time, but it is darker, denser, quite macabre in places, and an incredible piece of art. I confess haven’t listened to it much since I bought this CD on release, but I’ve listened to it several times on repeat for this review and it grew on me more and more each time, each listen revealing more complexity and nuances underneath an initially murky surface...” .

“Well this is altogether a more calming proposition than the previous record, but no less intense in its emotional coverage and musical arrangements. Clearly, I’ve always been one for a bit of drama in my life (and music). This compilation, released in 1992, comprises 20 of his own compositions from his first 1-4 solo albums and ‘Til The Band Comes In. The vastness of his baritone voice would always manage to convey emotion and drama in anything he did, but his unusual subject matter, and his way with words, not to mention the wonderful orchestral arrangements from Wally Stott/Angela Morley, make a Scott song so instantly recognisable and utterly unique...” .
