Enigmatic and hugely influential producer/composer Scott Walker will be honored next month with Songs From Montague Terrace, a new tribute set featuring Sondre Lerche, Dax Riggs, Nightlands, Bright Light Bright Light, Eugene McGuinness, and more.

Hear him get things off to an impressive start below:
Ethan Johns, Featured, Jon Brion, Laura Marling, Ray LaMontagne, Ryan Adams
