Overview
Explore the life and career of a musical artist who penned some of the biggest hits of the 1960s before turning his back on fame and completely reinventing himself as a reclusive outsider artist. In the mid-'60s, few bands rose higher up the British pop charts than the Walker Brothers, and as the front man of the group, Scott Walker was constantly in the spotlight. In the years that followed, the American-born Walker would split from the group to establish himself as a successful solo artist while inspiring such popular musicians as David Bowie and Bono. Now, as the release of Walker's 2006 solo album, The Drift, draws near, the existential crooner notorious for not granting interviews allows filmmaker Stephen Kijak to follow along for tantalizing glimpse at one of the world's most enigmatic musicians.
Additional interviews with Scott Walker, David Bowie, Brian Eno, Ed Bicknell, Jarvis Cocker, Neil Hannon and other music legends; Studio footage of Scott Walker recording "Buzzers" from the acclaimed album the Drift; Studio footage of guitarist Hugh Burns at work on the album the Drift; Walkermania - additional footage with Arnie Potts, Scott Walker memorabilia collector
