Outstanding exploration of a cult rock figure

Stephen Kijak expertly explores the life and extraordinary times of a brilliant cult rock figure in Scott Walker — 30th Century Man (Verve, €24.99) through the testimony of fans and collaborators, including Radiohead, Jarvis Cocker, Mark Almond and David Bowie.

It also includes a rare interview with Walker, the enormously talented musician was hugely successful in the 1960s.
