The first thing that ever struck me about Chris Isaak was his voice. The way he can effortlessly transition from full-throated low tones to highly impressive falsetto, just incredible. The only other person I've heard do that so well is Roy Orbison, but that comparison has been done to death. This is the only Chris Isaak vinyl I own, but I have several other albums on various media. You can still hear Isaak's sound growing, and forming on this, his second, album. It's a good album, but not my favorite. Forever Blue holds that place. It's also worth mentioning that anyone who works with such an underrated talent as Rowland Salley is alright in my book, the man wrote Killing The Blues.
