BACKGROUND
The three are essentialy vocal in emphasis with three extraordinary performances. The first is Scott Walker's oblique tribute , almost a love song, to Pasolini whose masterpiece, The Gospel according to St. Matthew, features the Jackson track and finally the theme innocence and despair by this astonishing version of, oddly enough the old Eagles track who of course Scott Walker was, in the early 70's a fellow traveller in soft country.
