Scott Walker Radio Interview for World Cafe 2013

[@MariettaKummerle]

I could just melt into his singing, his voice is part sensual, melancholy, and oh so very very engaging and very articulate.

[@dannycheesums]

Scott has a reputation for being awkward in interviews but he really doesn't seem anything other than open and polite in all the ones I've seen and heard

[@wellandtrulyjoshed]

Beautiful man beautiful voice ❤️ RIP Scott 💔 So lovely to hear you talking 😢👏

[@arleneculshaw8462]

Scott has the most amazing speaking voice. I just don’t know how he manages to be perfect to listen to. I don’t have the words to describe him, I’m really going to have to listen to his speaking words more. How wonderful it would have been just to sit and have a conversation with Scott to understand him. Love u Scott no one comes close Arlene xxxxxx 🥰

[@gaiusjulius1289]

Thanx for the posting and the interview Scott! You sound great as ever! Same golden 60's voice.

[@halfrutter2226]

He is a pioneer and a gifted artist. Walker has made some of the most interesting and great music around today.

[@karenroutledge5078]

Stunningly amazing guy x

[@michaelrhudak]

I used to intern for WXPN and the World Cafe, and this interview was actually done long-distance via ISDN with Scott in a studio in London, if I recall. Still super cool though.

[@stwads]

I doubt we'll ever hear the golden baritone again. The man's a genius though!

[@helencarroll4658]

I dont understand his albums since 'tilt' but still love him

[@tompogson9755]

Wish we heard what was meant to be next. Farewell, Captain.

[@jacklawrence7331]

For how difficult his work can sound, he isn't at all pretentious. Just goes to show that people can make extraordinary art without being so aloof and self-absorbed.

[@BlakeGildaphish76]

he was here in Philadelphia and i missed it. not even far from my house.😒

[@rondog540]

I always feel somehow unsatisfied at the end of Scott Walker interviews. It's not that he is rude or dismissive, it's just that I feel as though we're seeing a man in a mask. I don't think it's necessarily a loss either - if I want to feel closer to Scott I just listen to his music, which is the way it should be.

[@leonakita]

humorous how he can speak so seriously about such a psychotic product

[@stripedhyenuh]

Of the past HALF century, man.

[@dannycheesums]

Lets hope scott and sunn o))) do some shows!

[@michaelwosslert9524]

Danny Cheesums Have they done live shows together ?

[@ascent7]

nah...maybe one day,

[@michaelwosslert9524]

THAT would really be great !

[@georgebur]

He had some vocal training, he said so in previous interview on KZbin. One of the Tilt interviews. Apparently the training was spasmodic. With such a great natural voice, the little bit of help would have made the difference.

[@georgebur]

Interesting that he does not listen to his work once it is completed. As challenging for him as it is for us.

[@SINGSTRESS100]

Strange that he says he is not a trained singer. Everything i have ever read about him mentions his vocal coach, the great Freddy Winstone

[@uncleharry5758]

Can't seem to find any history/info on this Winstone?

[@romeosyne]

I read that he took a few lessons from Winstone, but that these were erratic and spaced out widely in time, and thus he never underwent a rigorous or sustained vocal training...

[@mazzymuso]

romeosyne Yes I heard that too. He had a few lessons in breath control but was too busy and traveled too much at the time to receive the sort of prolonged training opera singers receive.

[@leonakita]

nite flights is a spectacular song...other than that, most of his work is complete madness

[@gavinreid8351]

Not before then. I.e. most of his output.

[@cluxseltoot]

What's next - farting in the bath.

[@gavinreid8351]

From you,? Probably

[@superblondeDotOrg]

He could have become an educated musician, instead he hit the bottle. Wasted talent.

[@RealJeffTidwell]

Perhaps. Then again, we got the records we got and I’m very happy with Scott’s contribution to music... notably the latter period stuff. It’s been important to my personal development as an artist.
