"ARTIST: CHRIS ISAAK

SINGLE: I WANT YOU TO WANT ME (Reprise Records)

Chris Isaak is talented, handsome, enduring -- and yet the hits have
inexplicably eluded him so many times. He reaches out once again
with another single from his "Best of Chris Isaak," a frathouse-worthy,
rockabilly-infused cover of Cheap Trick's 1979 top 10 signature
"I Want You to Want Me." As he often does, Isaak meshes passion
and grand musicianship with amusement -- a formula that makes
so much of his music sound like a party. As good as it gets from a
fine, sadly underrated talent."

Chris is never given his due!! His music is one of a kind, just like Dwight, Roxy Music, AC/DC, Pearl Jam, The Reverend Horton Heat! But cookie cutter musicians are all over the radio.
That's why I listen to cds!! and mp3s!!! Or even my computer like now, is playing Roxy Music Jealous Guy, cheers all and Mr Bryan Ferry!!

HERE HERE, I totally agree. Chris just doesnt seem to get the repsect he deserves as singer/musician, that's why he has us as fans, lets spread the good word - OF CHRIS AND SILVERTONE.

Speaking of Chris in the charts, the 'Best Of' album has re-entered the top 20 here in Aus (it's actually sitting at No. 20 right now). There's usually a little description with the chart-entry in this top 20, but all this one said for Chris this time round was: "Artist enters the country - album re-enters the top 20". A little too succinct, eh??
