Chris Isaak Biography
Chris Isaak clearly loves the reverb-laden rockabilly and
country of Sun Studios. In particular, he transfers the sweeping
melancholy of Roy Orbison's classic Monument singles ( Crying, Oh,
Pretty Woman, In Dreams ) to the more stripped-down, rootsy sound of
Sun. His stylized take on '50s and '60s rock & roll eventually made
him into a star in the early '90s, thanks to the hit single Wicked
Game.
Isaak began performing after he graduated from college, forming the
rockabilly band Silvertone. The group, which featured guitarist James
Calvin Wilsey, bassist Rowland Salley, and drummer Kenney Dale Johnson,
would become the singer/guitarist's permanent supporting band. Isaak
released his first album, Silvertone, on Warner Bros. in 1985. It was
critically well received, yet it didn't sell. Two years later, he
released Chris Isaak, which managed to scrape into the Top 200 album
charts. After its release, the singer began an acting career with a bit
part in Jonathan Demme's 1988 film Married to the Mob; he would later
have parts in Wild at Heart, The Silence of the Lambs, and A Dirty
Shame, as well as starring in his own situation comedy series for the
Showtime cable network.
Released in 1989, Heart Shaped World initially sold more than Chris
Isaak, yet it didn't manage to break big until late 1990, when the
single Wicked Game was featured in David Lynch's Wild at Heart. Soon,
the single became a Top Ten hit; the album also made it into the Top
Ten and sold over a million copies. Both 1993's San Francisco Days and
1995's Forever Blue mined essentially the same vein as Heart Shaped
World, yet both went gold and spawned a handful of hits. In 1996, Isaak
released The Baja Sessions; Speak of the Devil followed two years
later. Isaak's busy touring schedule and growing visibility as an actor
kept him out of the recording studio until 2002, when he released
Always Got Tonight, though in 2004 he did find time to cut his first
seasonal album, Chris Isaak Christmas, which featured five new Yuletide
tunes along with a batch of holiday favorites. ~ Stephen Thomas
