With that came hit records -- including two British chart-top The Walker Brothers were the US counter-strike to the British invasion of the mids. With that came hit records -- including two British chart-toppers, 'Make It Easy On Yourself' and 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore' -- and all that success entails: screaming girls, package tours, and intense interest in their private lives. The pressure of success eventually caused them to split, and the Walkers went their separate ways. Of the three, Scott is now the most prominent, having embarked on a mysterious solo career that has since become the stuff of myth. All three drifted into obscurity before reforming in and releasing the classic 'No Regrets' single. They concluded their recording career with one of the decade's most influential records, 's Nite Flights. The Impossible Dream is an in-depth biography that traces the career of one of the most successful bands in pop history. In addition to assessing and analysing the talent and appeal of the enigmatic Scott, the author also covers the history and contributions of the other The Impossible Dream: The Story of Scott Walker and the Walker Brothers John and Gary. The Impossible Dream: The Story of Scott Walker and the Walker Brothers on decades of archive interviews with the band, and many new interviews with backing musicians, record label staff and producers, The Impossible Dream is the definitive telling of The Walker Brothers' story.

For the Scott Walker fan, this is one amazing book. For one, it focuses on the Walker Brothers years - which is early 60's to late 70's. And it does deal with the Scott solo albums of that period. Saying that this is a well-written biography of a band who was always not part of their time. Three guys from California who decided to make fame and art in swinging 60's London. At one moment they were as huge as the Beatles, but even with that, they stood strangely from the pack. While everyone was tr For the Scott Walker fan, this is one amazing book. Scott at this time was obsessed with Foreign films, classical music, jazz, and He was very much of a man who was not part of his times - and to this day he is either not with the generation thing or apart from it. Yet him and his music is way ahead of almost everyone in the music world. This is a beautifully designed book, and Reynolds did a really good job on The Walker Brothers legend. And of course since reading this The Impossible Dream: The Story of Scott Walker and the Walker Brothers I have been spending a lot of time listening to old Walker Bros. And his last two albums are brilliant. View all 5 comments. Jan 11, Kerstin rated it really liked it. What I learnt from this book: 1. Hair is important when you're The Walker Brothers. I can see why he made Scott laugh. Because Scott is silly too. John was a tool. His pettiness irked me. They actually met Marc Bolan in a gay restaurant! But serious What I learnt from this book: 1. And of course, as philosophical, neurotic and private as his reputation suggests. The intense feel of his personality while he is caught in the conflict between his role as a reluctant pop star and his innovative dark muse comes across really well. He is someone who kept questioning everything and the more he questioned, the lonelier he became. This book is about this most unusual man with the most unusual talent that even he did not understand for a long time. As for others in his wake David Bowie, etc. Happy New Year. This is Scott. As you know, I was ill for quite a long time and had to be in bed. I wish to see you soon, as soon as we can set something up with some promoters in your country. They have a tendency to make me very nervous. Not much has happened here in England. And so is the fog. When you walk down the street you run into people and lampposts; it can be very embarrassing. It all depends on how you look at it, you know. View 2 comments. Oct 12, Stop added it Shelves: excerpts. Read the excerpt Nov 19, David Ashley rated it liked it. Below is my original review when I was around 70 pages in. It does get better as it goes and there is a general wealth of information but the lack of notes for specific sources is a bit alarming, as is the increasing number of repeated phrases and typos in the second half of the book. The 'hooky' style of writing thankfully settles down after around pages! An enjoyable read but not definitive in my opinion. Original review: "Only part way through so far but honestly I'm really not a fan. Anthon Below is my original review when I was around 70 pages in. Anthony writes in such a hockey, conversational way that is just incredibly off putting. I'm cringing on an almost page by page basis. There's just so much in bad taste, it's like reading Kerrang or NME when what you really want is to be reading something with more meat on the bones. It doesn't feel very well researched, a lot of second hand research and little to no notes on where quotes are actually taken from. At the back is a very thin list of sources which don't really give anything away. A real shame. Without a doubt not the definitive book on the group which is a shame, the search continues I guess! Nov 24, Frenchy rated it it was amazing. This is a very good book about the Walker Brothers that doesn't focus The Impossible Dream: The Story of Scott Walker and the Walker Brothers on Scott, does a good job of describing their collective career and is clearly written without sinking in either silly gossip or ridiculous adoration. It has its tedious moments like pretty much all biographies - people's lives are rarely that much interesting but overall it's a very enjoyable read.

Instead of having a traditional dissertation, this project is organized like a record album where each chapter is a Track that contains an original song that parallels and plays off the subject matter being discussed to make a more encompassing, multidimensional, holistic, improvisational, and critical statement as the songs and riffs move along together to tell why an arts-based musical way of being can be a choice and alternative in our lives.

After having his first Top 20 hit in 1957 with “The Story of My Life,” performed by Marty Robbins, his lush, poignant songs virtually defined and ultimately transcended the Brill Building pop of the 1960s. Bacharach went on to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 chart over 80 times, the vast majority of which were the product of his long-running partnership with lyricist Hal David. Together, they reached the Top Five with tracks like “Magic Moments” (Perry Como, 1958), “Only Love Can Break a Heart” (Gene Pitney, 1962), “I Say a Little Prayer” (Dionne Warwick, 1967), and “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” (B.J. Thomas) from the soundtrack to 1969’s Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Bacharach’s work on that film resulted in two Academy Awards: best song and best score. In the ’80s, he teamed up with Carole Bayer Sager for a run of successful songs that included the number ones “Arthur’s Theme” (Christopher Cross, 1981, also with Peter Allen), and “On My Own” (Patti Labelle and Michael McDonald, 1986). “Arthur’s Theme” won Bacharach a third Oscar. In 1998, the album Painted from Memory, a collaboration with Elvis Costello, launched another recurring partnership.

Posted: Mon., Mar. 5, 2007, 6:57pm PT Scott Walker: 30th Century Man (U.K.-U.S.) A Verve Pictures release (in the U.K.) of a Missing in Action Films, Plastic Palace production. (International sales: Moviehouse Intl., London.) Produced by Mia Bays, Stephen Kijak, Elizabeth Rose. Executive producers, David Bowie, Mark Vennis, Gary Phillips, Colin Burch, Julia Short. Directed, written by Stephen Kijak. By EDDIE COCKRELL A reclusive musician steps out from the shadows in absorbing docu "Scott Walker: 30th Century Man." Longtime fans of Walker's warm, sepulchral baritone, startlingly evocative songwriting and lushly imaginative instrumentation will rejoice at this revealing docu, while pic will garner converts via fest play, limited arthouse exposure and rich ancillary. Though he hasn't performed publicly in three decades, Walker writes and performs original albums roughly every 10 years. Sparse output, combined with roller-coaster industry history and That Voice, has resulted in a cadre of disparate yet influential fans that include onscreen acolytes David Bowie (pic's lead exec producer), Radiohead, Brian Eno, Ute Lemper, Jarvis Cocker, Lulu, Marc Almond, Damon Albarn, Allison Goldfrapp, Gavin Friday and even Sting. Born Noel Scott Engel in 1943, the singer had brief fame as a teen idol before joining up in 1964 with John Maus and Gary Leeds to form the Walker Brothers.
