Chris Isaak: Mr. Lucky

Check Our Catalog“Mr. Lucky feels carefully considered: from its production to its construction, it’s a deliberate attempt to modernize Isaak’s retro obsessions without abandoning them. Usually, this modernization surfaces in echoey atmospherics partway between U2 and Coldplay, textures that suit his melodramatic Roy Orbison tributes. As a sensibility, it’s no different than anything Isaak’s done, so the difference is the execution, not just in the light, fresh touch of the production but the songs, which are his strongest in a long time — and that’s good enough to please his longtime fans as well as anybody whose interest might be piqued by the new show.”–All Music Guide
