SW Amsterdam>>>>Bowie Amsterdam
Maybe not for everybody but if you liked Alex Turner's side-project the Last Shadow Puppets you really need to get stuck in to Mr.Walker.

Not heard his version of Amsterdam or any of his stuff with the Walker Brothers (with the exception of Nite Flights). Definitely on my to-download list though

Scott 3 is the only album I've listened to completely, but some great singing and orchestration there! The only complaint is that It's a bit too short maybe, but I like almost all the songs.
I only have bits and pieces of his other earlier stuff(mostly scott 4) and might even need to get some more of it. |
