Description: Scott Walker has travelled from teen idol to the outer limits of music : from 'The sun ain't gonna shine any more' reaching no.1 through to recordings of meat being punched on his last album, The drift. He has a passionate and committed fan base and an impeccable critical reputation as a serious and uncompromising musician. This collection, put together by Rob Young of The Wire magazine, features a handful of previously published articles and newly commissioned pieces, largely drawn from the orbit of The Wire's writers.
