For his solo career, Walker shed the Walker Brothers' mantle and worked in a style clearly glimpsed on . Initially, this led to a continuation of his previous band's success. Walker's first four albums, titled (1967), (1968), (1969), and (1969), all sold in large numbers, with Scott 2 topping the British charts.
During this period, Walker combined his earlier teen appeal with a darker, more idiosyncratic approach (which had been hinted at in songs like "Orpheus" on the album). While his vocal style remained consistent with Walker Brothers, he now drove a fine line between classic ballads, hits and his own compositions, and also included risqué recordings of songs (translated by , who was also responsible for the hit musical ). Walker's own original songs of this period were influenced by Brel and as he explored European musical roots while expressing his own American experience and reaching a new maturity as a recording artist.
