Uke Tunes: "Hero Of The World / Duchess – Scott Walker – Ukulele Chords"

But ending up the next #ScottWalker.

Today's #TuneTuesday theme is #MusicEvolution.

I know I pick Scott Walker songs for these things rather a lot. But, oh, come on, has *anyone* been through quite such a change across their career as Scott?

There are two ways of looking at 'first' and 'last', and here I've gone for songs from his first solo studio album (Scott, 1967) and his last* (Bish Bosch, 2012); from orchestral pop interpretations of Jacques Brel songs, to... however you choose to describe the strange noises of his later years.

*I've not counted the 2014 album he made with Sunn O))) because I feel that, if I'm excluding Walker Brothers albums, I logically have to exclude later collaborations too

Okay, #ThursdayFiveList time, now I'm done with work/watching cyclists be tortured on a vertical road/Australia are all out. The theme is #TheCovers, so:

Ella Fitzgerald - Get Ready
(originally performed by The Temptations, written by Smokey Robinson)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t_aAyk5Ngw (this is a live performance, and it's great, Ella was such a performer)

The Unthanks - The King of Rome
(Dave Sudbury)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fL3E8FRxiw
(also live, with the Brighouse and Rastrick Colliery Band)

Madness - Madness
(Prince Buster)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEJEO0mvxSI

Scott Walker - Sons Of
(Jacques Brel, originally titled Fils De)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuNznmqb8fE

Nina Simone - Wild is the Wind
(Johnny Mathis, written by Dimitri Tiomkin and Ned Washington for the film of the same name)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDuy874spGg

Daily #SteveKimock. A #fretless extravaganza. Steve on his custom fretless guitar by luthier #ScottWalker. When that #Trombetta #BoneMachine Fuzz kicks in!! The legendary #BernieWorrell on keys.

Oh, and on this #TuneTuesday theme - this isn't another suggestion, as I've not seen the film, just an aside.

I read that, apparently, The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated To The Neo-Stalinist Regime) is used in one of Michael Bay's Transformers films. Really? Scott Walker? Michael Bay? The mind boggles.

Anyway, there's no such thing as a bad excuse to post a Scott song.
