Best of Chris Isaak

by
Chris Isaak
In many ways, Chris Isaak is a perfect candidate for a "best-of" compilation: he has been consistent over the years, not only in the quality of his output but in his music, which hasn't strayed much from the sweetly moody retro-pop -- part Elvis, a large part Roy Orbison, a small part early Neil Diamond -- he essayed on his 1985 debut, Silvertone. ...

San Francisco Days
(1993)
more music like this
by
Chris Isaak
Having found himself with a fluke hit single thanks to "Wicked Game," Isaak's next move was interesting enough -- namely, for a long while, nothing. Heart Shaped World's follow-up came four years later, after Nirvana and Dr. Dre rewrote the musical rules for what turned out to be the rest of the '90s. As a result, San Francisco Days more than any ...

Always Got Tonight

Chris Isaak
You have to admire Chris Isaak -- the guy's been making records for close to 20 years, and he's still the very model of effortless cool with pipes to match, not the easiest accomplishment for a guy who's pushing fifty. At the same time, while Isaak's gifts haven't faded a bit with time, he hasn't displayed a stunning degree of versatility, either ...

Chris Isaak
If you're going to invite a hipster recording artist into your home for Christmas, it may as well be Chris Isaak -- he's cool but he's also well-mannered, and can act sly enough for your thinks-she's-bohemian sister without scaring your Grandmother in the process. Like no small number of veteran recording artists, Isaak has cut an album of holiday ...

Speak of the Devil
(1998)
more music like this
by
Chris Isaak
Speak of the Devil explores the same moody terrain as Chris Isaak's previous records, though the songs are fleshed out with more contemporary touches. The leadoff track, "Please," is unusually hard-hitting, with its acoustic/electric/soft/crash structure, Mellotron, and soundbite lyrics. "I'm Not Sleepy" is a roots rock rave-up (wherein Isaak ...

Chris Isaak
Having established a winning musical combination on Silvertone, Chris Isaak and his band essentially continue it with little variation on his second album, 11 songs of smoky, wounded romance and dark menace given great all-around performances. Isaak's gift for capturing a perfect blend of early rock & roll twang and making it sound perfectly of ...

Baja Sessions
(1996)
more music like this
by
Chris Isaak
Isaak's well-known surfing fixation had been referenced here and there on past album art before, but Baja Sessions gives him a chance not only to bring that out in the open but to consciously aim for a much more relaxed, gentle follow-up to the harrowing Forever Blue. Returning to the calmer but still potent romantic angst and celebration familiar ...

Forever Blue
(1995)
more music like this
by
Chris Isaak
Without identifying who it was, Isaak made his mood clear with Forever Blue by including a farewell letter in the liner notes to the lover who had dumped him. Kicking things off with the snaky, almost guttural "Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing," later made a theme song for Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, Isaak lives up to the confused, fractured message ...

Silvertone
(1985)

by
Chris Isaak
Chris Isaak's debut album, Silvertone, named after his three-piece backup group, sets the pattern for his subsequent albums in its meticulously constructed retro sound. Isaak enters a time machine and emerges around 1960, when Roy Orbison is ruling the charts with his melodramatic ballads and Elvis Presley has just returned from the Army. Of ...

Heart Shaped World

by
Chris Isaak
When filmmaker David Lynch backed a disquieting scene in Blue Velvet with Roy Orbison's "In Dreams," he demonstrated the eerie atmosphere behind its pre-'60s innocence. Orbison disciple Chris Isaak played those qualities to the hilt in his shimmering, spare "Wicked Game," so it was no surprise when Lynch included the ballad in Wild at Heart. What ...

Wicked Game

Chris Isaak
Released in 1998, Wicked Ways: Anthology is not a greatest-hits collection, nor is it a rarities collection. It concentrates on a brief period of Chris Isaak's career (the late '80s -- early '90s), overlooks a lot of hits, and contains oddities like a cover of "Heart Full of Soul" and an instrumental of "Wicked Game." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, ...

by
Original Soundtrack
Married to the Mob was Jonathan Demme's follow-up to Something Wild and may not have been as fresh as that film, but the soundtrack makes up for it. Drawing from previously released material as much as brand new songs, the soundtrack begins with Sinéad O'Connor's "Jump in the River," a rocker that sets the tone for the film's mix of danger and fun ...

Various Artists
The third benefit album for the Surfrider Foundation, an organization dedicated to preserving oceans, is as weirdly scattershot as the two other MOM albums, and just as enjoyable. As with any tribute album, MOM, Vol. 3 is certainly a collection of moments, balanced somewhere between the good and the mediocre. To its credit, the Surfrider ...

Various Artists
Although the German-import price might be prohibitive for some, Kuschelrock Vol. 5 is a pretty good double-disc collection of mainstream pop hits circa the late '80s and early '90s. Some singles were more popular than others, naturally, but they generally fit well together, and it would be impossible to find even the biggest of these songs ...

Mr. Lucky is the first album Chris Isaak has released in seven years but it's hard to call it a comeback: it's been so long since Isaak had something approaching a crossover hit that it's hard to say that he's been away, that he has something to come back from -- he just appears every few years, such as in March of 2009, when Mr. Lucky appeared ...
