Silvertone

Description:
Chris Isaak 's debut album, Silvertone , named after his three-piece backup group, sets the pattern for his subsequent albums in its meticulously constructed retro sound. Isaak enters a time machine and emerges around 1960, when Roy Orbison is ruling the charts with his melodramatic ballads and Elvis Presley has just returned from the Army. Of course, what passed for a style 25 years before is in Isaak 's hands stylization, and when he wails in an Orbison falsetto of romantic desperation, then does a flat, Presley -like recitation in the album-closing 'Western Stars,' it all seems over the top. But he is just about sincere enough to pull it off, and James Calvin Wilsey is a strong enough guitarist to keep the arrangements on track. So, to the extent that you can resist the 'Is this guy kidding?' impression, the music is appealing.
