As one of the greatest lyricists of the 20th century and front man of globally loved pop trio, The Walker Brothers, Walker commands huge devotion. A major event, \u003ci\u003eSundog\u003c\/i\u003e is the first ever selection of Walker's lyrics curated by the artist himself, published for the first time with a stunning introduction by Eimear McBride.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScott Walker\u003c\/b\u003e is quite simply a cultural icon. He is an American-born, British singer-songwriter, composer and record producer. He is known for his distinctive voice and for the unorthodox career path which has taken him from 1960s pop icon to 21st century avant-garde musician. Originally coming to fame in the mid-1960s singing orchestral pop ballads as the frontman of The Walker Brothers, Walker went on to a solo career balancing a light entertainment with increasing artistic innovations in arrangement and writing perspective. Since the mid-1980s Walker has revived his solo career while drastically reinventing his artistic and compositional methods, via a series of acclaimed and vividly avant-garde albums. The change in approach has been compared to \"Andy Williams reinventing himself as Stockhausen\". \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eEimear McBride\u003c\/b\u003e trained at Drama Centre London.
