Sick at heart and lonely, deep in dark despair.
When you want her only, tell me where is she, where?
And if she says to you, that she don't love me.
Just give her my message, tell her of my plea.
And I know,
If I could have her back again.
I would never make her sad.
I got a heart... full of soul, I got a heart... full of soul.
She's been gone such a long time, longer than I can bear.
But if she says she wants me, tell her I'll be there.
And I know,
If I could have her back again.
I would never make her sad.
I got a heart... full of soul, I got a heart... full of soul.
Sick at heart and lonely, deep in dark despair.
When you want her only, tell me where is she, where?
And if she says to you, that she don't love me.
Just give her my message, tell her of my plea.
And I know,
If I could have her back again.
I would never make her sad.
I got a heart... full of soul, I got a heart... full of soul.
I got a heart.. full of soul!

I'm a big fan of CI, but this is like a cover that sucks all the life out of the original.

Why, just why would you release this horrible cover? 
 Always a risk taking on a ground-breaking classic.  I suspect most of his concert attendees weren't big fans of the original and prolly don't care. Generally a different crowd.  I'm a big CI fan, too, but this was a reach too far. .  I'd agree, he screwed the pooch...

always thought he sounded like a young Roy Orbison - not interested in a lot of 50s music but love the voice. Saw him perform and enjoyed the show - then listened to a couple holiday radio shows and appreciate his sense of humor. His voice is perfect for this cover.

Easy - Chris Isaak's performances are generally well-received around these parts and it gives Bill/Becca a chance to play back-to-back The Yardbirds tunes.

This classic needs a (Chris Isaak) cover like Trump needs a wig. 

 
On the other hand, Trump needs a wig and then some.

Also suffers from not having Jeff Beck playing "sitar", his version on guitar any way.

Good cover of a great song.  I do prefer the original but this is still good.

Don't think this song is on the "Christmas" disc, unless it's a hidden track

Holy smokes! First time hearing this cover. What a classic. Love it, Bill.

I usually don't like this cat, but I do like this arrangement. I think I like him doing covers better than originals. A definate 6 on this one.

Makes me think of how Pat Boone used to sing rhythm and blues. So "Caucasian."
That is really weird especially when you consider Chris is actually a white person!

I like Chris, but he should have sub-titled this "heart full of droll. . ."

Did you see the movie "Northshore" and, a couple nights before its release, Chris telling David Letterman about his tie clip collection?

This is not only not better than the original, it\'s not better than much of anything.

why not just play the yardbirds\' classic version? as others have noted, it was already perfect and didn\'t need to be \"covered\" by ANYONE.

Chris is a great songwriter...and when decides to cover a song, he does it really really well.
Posted 21 years ago by Relayer    [ Reply ]
Chris, who seems bent on making a name for himself with covers of classic songs from 20 years ago and further, missed with this one. Too stripped down for me, his usual haunting quality just seems ... forlorn here.
