Chris Isaak's Bio: Throughout his impressive recording career -- right from his stunning 1985 debut to this latest stellar effort -- Chris Isaak has tunefully and artfully explored the good, the bad and the ugly of love, as well as other matters of profound human interest. He has done so with an abiding respect for popular music’s past, but at the same time with clear and vital passion for the here and now.

Yet for all the heartbreak evident on Mr. Lucky -- and yes, Virginia, there is a lot of blood on these particular tracks -- make no mistake, Chris Isaak considers himself to be a very fortunate man indeed. “When I call this album Mr. Lucky -- or sing a song titled `Big Wide Wonderful World’ -- my tongue is nowhere near my cheek,” Isaak explains. “The truth is that anyone who gets to do what I do for a living should be saying `Thank you’ on a daily basis. For all the pains and the pleasures of life, this is a wonderful world and I understand that I really am one of the luckier guys on earth.”

Like some of Isaak’s best known past compositions, such as his international breakthrough smash “Wicked Game,” “Baby Did A Bad, Bad Thing” and “Somebody’s Crying,” the songs on Mr. Lucky have a deeply felt sense of the consequences of good love gone bad, and bad love gone good. Standout tracks on Mr. Lucky include the opening “Cheaters Town,” his intimate travelogue of heartache, the tormented yet transcendent “We Let Her Down” -- the first single from the new album -- and “You Don’t Cry Like I Do,” a searing song of love and loss that reaches the operatic heights of Roy Orbison, one of Isaak’s greatest heroes and a kind man who generously made the effort to help Isaak out on his way up.

Beyond the Sun, Isaac's 11th studio album, was released in October 2011. … Read more
