CHRIS ISAAK MUSIC CAREER

In 1985, Isaak signed a contract with Warner Bros. Records and released her debut album, Silvertone, to critical acclaim, including from John Fogerty. The name comes from the band he formed after graduating from college; a reference to the Silvertone guitar brand popularized in the 1950s.

The album’s sound was raw and varied, blending country blues and conventional folk ballads. Although the album was a critical success, it did not sell respectably. Two tracks from the album, ‘Gone Ridin’ and ‘Livin’ for Your Lover’, featured in David Lynch’s Blue Velvet.

Isaak’s self-titled follow-up album was released in 1986 and managed to break into the Billboard Top 200. The album saw Isaak hone his style to sophisticated R&B. Chris Isaak’s artwork was photographed by fashion photographer Bruce Weber.

Isaac’s contract was renewed in 1988 when Warner Bros. transferred it to their Reprise Records label. “Suspicion of Love” appears in the hit 1988 film Married to the Mob starring Matthew Modine, Michelle Pfeiffer and Dean Stockwell.

Isaac’s most famous song is ‘Wicked Game’. First released on the 1989 album Heart Shaped World, an instrumental version of the song was later featured in David Lynch’s 1990 film Wild at Heart. Lee Chestnut, an Atlanta radio station music director who was obsessed with Lynch films, performed the vocal version and it became the station’s most requested song.

Chesnut spread the word to other radio stations and the single became a national Top 10 hit in February 1991. It also reached No. 10 in the UK Singles Chart. The music video for the song was directed by Herb Ritts and was an MTV and VH1 hit; shot in black and white, it featured Isaak and supermodel Helena Christensen in a sensual encounter on the beach, caressing and whispering in each other’s ears.
