Even if he migrated, he made great moves. He knows his voice. He knows music.

Hmmm. It's got an "Old Man's Back Again" vibe.

@splankhna he is better live but he is a little too commercial to be compared to walker- id still say Nick Caves ballads has a feel closer to Walkers odd" darkness"- i like Ashcroft but thats its it- Walker and Cave are something more

@MisAnnThorpe i like ashcroft but his solo stuff has the most bloated production- and i love big production but his just comes as bland as do some of his simpleton lyrics- i guess i just feel ashcroft has a great voice but doesnt use it to its full potential with simplistic songs and weak lyrics-more so on recent albums- walker just has a depth and sublime quality that makes "mad richard" look tame and ordinary- id actually say nick cave is our generations walker- to me he gets the balance right

@salvadory It's funny because I'd never even thought of Richard Ashcroft as being Scott Walker influenced but now that you mention it I could very easily imagine Walker singing Lucky man & in fairness to Ashcroft he would have to go some way to better it. Come to think of it could also imagine him singing The drugs don't work, & maybe Bittersweet symphony & Sonnet. Oh btw, I'm sure you really wanted to know that Valerie was originally written & recorded by The Zutons. Crap name for a crap band.

@MisAnnThorpe oh i agree i still prefer whithers version but this a great version in its own right- the late amy winehouse was very good- walker is sublime genius

@salvadory Sometimes covers are vastly superior to the original. A good example is Amy Winehouse's version of Valerie. Regardless of whether that improvement was mainly due to Mark Ronson or not the original, which I can't remember for sure who it was even by, (possibly The Fratellis?) was noteworthy only because of its utter ordinariness. I was absolutely amazed when I first heard Winehouse's version and I'm not even a fan of hers.
