Scott Walker Sings Jacques Brel

Scott Walker Sings Jacques Brel is a compilation of Jacques Brel compositions recorded by American-British singer-songwriter Scott Walker, released in 1981 by Philips Records. The compilation brings together all of the Brel material that Walker covered on record during the period of 1967 to 1969. Walker additionally performed five Brel songs on his television series, including "Alone", another Brel/Shuman composition. None of these live recordings were released on the accompanying soundtrack. The original 1981 release included the Walker composition "Little Things" from 'Til the Band Comes In. The 1990 CD re-release only includes the nine Brel compositions. Justin Farrar of Rhapsody praised the album, calling it one of the streaming service's favorite covers albums.
