Chris Isaak-Wicked Game (1991)

Chris Isaak, is one of those rare multi-faceted artists who with almost no noise and excel achieves the opposite.
In addition to being a singer and songwriter, he has worked as an actor, televisión showman and even an amateur boxer - his nose is good proof of this. This Californian by birth starred in one of the best ballads of the eighties.
Almost in the middle of that decade he had signed a contract with W. Bros. Records for his first album, "Silvertone". In 1987 he recorded a second self-titled album featuring the well-known Blue hotel. That same year, six songs are extracted from these two recordings for the first two chapters of the US CBS series "Private Detective".
In 1989 their third album would arrive, "Heart Shaped World", which included the precious "Wicked Game", which was chosen for the single from that album. However, it would not be until a year later, in which this theme was included by David Lynch to be part of his movie "Wild at Heart", and it would be from here when it began to have a lot of repercussion. The success was such that the following year Warner published a "Greatest Hits" entitled "Wicked Game", taking advantage of the song's massive success and with that theme as its main claim, something unusual on the other hand, because despite Isaak He was already considered an excellent musician, he only had 3 studio albums published.
"Wicked Game" is a slow and languid halftime of magnificent execution, where the guitar solos are truly impressive, quite a contemporary classic.
