Chris is the current King I was blown away by the song, but never saw it listed on the credits. I first heard a recording of "Blue Hotel" being played in the background of TV detective show called "Private Eye" in 1987. I later taped the show on re-run and still no credits for the song, BUT I never forgot the song or the sound of the artist. Aproximately 3-31/2 years later I was in a restaurant in Big Bear Lake, CA. and heard this song being played. I immediately asked the owner who was on the album. He took the CD ("Chris Isaac") out of his music machine and gave it to me. I like 99% of what Chris does; a great artist for his genre. I have everything he has released, except for the Christmas Album. I recently watched his duet with Trisha Yearwood on his new TV Show; great job by both. .
Just a Great CD!
It has a great sound-50's meets 80's production, great songs, and great presentation. This is my favorite Isaak CD. This CD is really a must for an all night drive to Florida, or somewhere! I can just picture JW playing a Gretsch guitar with a Bigsby, through an old Fender amp with the reverb and tremolo turned way up. Very inspiring.
Strong Entry
For my money, tracks 1-5 on the album are a great representation of his talent; a guy who can write songs and perform them with the melancholy of Orbison and the swagger of Elvis. I remember hearing "Blue Hotel" once or twice on the radio and being blown away by it, but it wasn't until a couple of years later that I started tracking down Chris Isaak's music. The rest of the material is not quite as amazing, though by no means poor.
Great sound
