A few years ago I went to a Marc Bolan/T. Rex 30th anniversary tribute concert during which a singer named David Driver covered Scott Walker's "The War Is Over (Sleepers-Epilogue)". He introduced it as being a song by "the best singer and songwriter you may not know". This was the first Walker song I heard and it made such an impact on me (if not on others in the audience, it seemed). Soon after that concert I bought Scott 3, Scott 4 and 'Til The Band Comes In and was captivated by his otherworldly croon and quality of his songwriting.
