He is widely known for his breakthrough hit and signature song, “Wicked Game”, as well as other songs such as “Blue Hotel”, “Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing”, and “Somebody’s Crying”. He is known for his reverb-laden rockabilly revivalist style and wide vocal range. His songs generally focus on the themes of love, loss, and heartbreak.
With a career spanning four decades, Isaak has released a total of 12 studio albums, toured, and received numerous award nominations. He is often compared to Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, and Duane Eddy.

After graduating with a degree in English and Communication Arts, he put together his first band, Silvertone. This rockabilly outfit, comprising James Calvin Wilsey (guitar), Rowland Salley (bass) and Kenney Dale Johnson (drums), remained with Isaak as his permanent backing band.

After acquiring a contract with Warner Brothers Records in 1985, Chris Isaak and the band moved through three years and two albums with little success, apart from “Blue Hotel,” which was a hit in France. The debut “Silvertone” was raw and diverse, with country blues mingling with conventional folk ballads.
The self-titled follow-up saw him hone his style to sophisticated R&B. Throughout, he was backed by the excellent moody guitar of Wilsey, whose mimicry of ’50s styles is impeccable.

Isaak’s 1989 album, “Heart Shaped World,” began selling strongly out of the gate and eventually achieved double-platinum status.
Though Chris Isaak has yet to match the commercial success of “Wicked Game” and “Heart Shaped World,” he has maintained a sizeable fan base. Both his 1993 album “San Francisco Days” and 1995’s “Forever Blue” achieved gold sales. The single “Somebody’s Crying,” among others, was a minor radio and video hit. In 1996, Isaak released “The Baja Sessions.”
