Here we go round 'n round
State your case and then sit down
Tell me why you want to go
I don't love you anymore

Here you go mad again
Tell me that you're just a friend
Tell me something I don't know
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
Yeah
Oh

When I do go
I'll let you know
It might hurt you
But I don't think so

Here we go round 'n round
State your case and then sit down
Tell me why you want to go
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you any more

hep hep hep
hep

Oh-----

Round 'n round 'n round
Round 'n round 'n round 'n round

hep
hep

oh oh oh oh
Round round round round round round round
Here we go

He has a very unique voice and style....  I always thought he'd be the next Elvis.   He made me stop working to see if was indeed, Chris Isaak as suspected.  

Sexy...

Chris Isaak is so underrated. He has the voice, the talent and a very powerful feeling. He should be doing new records.




Very true!!! I agree!!!

This is ok, but this is supposed to be the rock mix. I don't recall hearing any Rory Gallagher or even AC/DC on this channel.

Went to a Chris Isaak concert at the Greek few years back.  There were 8 dudes & 8,000 chics there.  Best concert ever.  And the music was great too!

The cheesy old organ drum pattern just fits. I'd never had the guts to try this on my tracks :)

When Mr Isaak began to gain serious popularity, my teenaged kids called him "that whiny guy."  Cracks me up to this day.

Then seek out your local FM stations - because they never overplay any artists

I clicked over to say pretty much exactly this. How annoying is that riff? God.

James Wilsey on this album.
 
I remember reading something shortly after Wicked Game became a hit, that said Chris Isaak didn't feel he was all that great looking, between his own many-times broken nose and the audience going nuts for his guitarist James Wilsey. It seems fairly obvious that Isaak has aged better since then.

Yeah.

 Dirty is good...out of tune sucks IMHO, though. Cool song, but I can't get my ears past the guitar intonation.

 

You're right. It is out of tune a bit. Maybe that's what makes the song seem just a bit off-balance.
Appropriate.

What an awful bit of music. Bad guitar playing over an unbelievably boring background of general blues-type mush.

Do you know you're leaving out a few? I'd recommend this one (SF Days) and Forever Blue for sure. Baja Sessions is excellent but it's mostly stipped-down covers of his songs, plus some others. It has a great sound to it though and shouldn't be left out. Speak of the Devil is also really good. I don't have the one (or two) after that.
Always Got Tonight is excellent too. He's consistently good. AGT is more variety-- different rock styles on each song, but all the songs are great.

I absolutely loved the first couple of Chris Isaak albums. So here's a question: if I'm going to add to my collection, would you recommend Baja Sessions or San Fransisco Days?
I always liked SF Days. For me, more so than other recordings before or after. But I acknowledge that i was in a place 1993 where i found him more enjoyable either before or after. so just a moment in time for me.

Hey! Is that the rhythm track from Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio"? Sure sounds like it.
