ALBUMS: Silvertone (1985 ); Chris Isaak (1987)
MVC Rating: Silvertone 5.0/$$$$; Isaak 4.5/$$$$$
Chris Isaak has a voice that sounds like Roy Orbison singing for the lonely.
With a touch of Elvis, a generous touch.
I have his first two on vinyl. Both are excellent. I have his third on CD, that one, probably his most successful because of the song, ‘Wicked Game,’ a worldwide mega-hit tied to a David Lynch film.
But in terms of quality, folks should not forget those first two albums, ‘Silvertone’ and ‘Chris Isaak.’ They come with a sultry, anachronistic sound — especially good for snuggling with your loved one.
