The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore. Lifelong fan Joe Jackson talks to Scott Walker about what he calls "one of the best pop records ever made."
On March 1st 1985, when a meeting with Leonard Cohen made me feel transcendent and decide to track down more of my music heroes to interview, Scott Walker was first on the list. During that interview a decade later Scott told me he not only remembered and really liked a review of his album Climate of Hunter I wrote in 1984 but that it helped him "redefine" in his own mind how his music could best be described at that point. Then in 2003, he said he wanted to use in his box set 5 Easy Pieces, a critique of his life and work which I wrote in 1990. Now, thirty years later, that critique and its backstory - it was never used in the box-set - is published in full in a digital magazine I called Scott Walker: The Fugitive kind, available in Amazon etc. And to think it all began when I was a boy and heard songs like The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore. Here, apart from an evocation of the time, I discovered Scott's music you hear Walker and I discuss the sound of the early Walker Brothers records. A fan meets one of his heroes
