Album: Chris Isaak, Mr Lucky (Warner Brothers)

Reviewed by Andy Gill

Friday, 24 April 2009


Chris Isaak retains the engaging warmth of a post-modern country crooner on this first album in seven years, his expertly-modulated gradations of emotion peaking in an occasional falsetto yodel that marks him as the closest modern heir to Roy Orbison.

Isaak's Orbisonic qualities are emphasised here in tragic material like "We Let Her Down" and "You Don't Cry Like I Do" – the latter self-pityingly noting that "You don't want me/You don't love me/That's what kills me", while the former grasps death to its bosom through references to "her eyes, closed to the hurt and the pain". Likewise, the heartbreak of holiday romance in "Summer Holiday" is operatically over-egged by an impassioned presentation involving castanets – though it's still more effective than the overblown ballad duet "Breaking Apart". There are attempts to lighten things up through the jauntiness of "Take My Heart" and the corny two-step of "We've Got Tomorrow", but they're never as persuasive as gloomier material such as "We Lost Our Way" and "Cheater's Town", in which the effect of romantic betrayal is laid out against a backdrop of Lanois-esque background guitar noise, the bricolage of a broken heart.

Download this: "Cheater's Town", "We Let Her Down", "We Lost Our Way", "You Don't Cry Like I Do"

Release date in France is announced for June 15th.

Do they also pick "We lost our way" as a single over there, instead of "We let her down"?

I hope they will be back for a tour wink.gif

just curious, why wasn't Mr Lucky released in England/France in February like it was in Australia and U.S.

Perhaps some promo work in those countries in conjuction with the release?

Claire--thanks for the posts from Paris! Did they release We Lost Our Way as a single there? If so, very glad to hear that as my CI fan friends and I would love to have had that as the single here which hasn't happened yet.
