Sobre el álbum
El segundo álbum homónimo, Chris Isaak, lanzado en 1987, profundiza en la estética retro y melancólica de su aclamado debut. En este trabajo, el artista y su banda, Silvertone, refinan y expanden su característico sonido de rock and roll nostálgico. El disco mantiene la atmósfera cinematográfica y crepuscular, pero quizás con un sonido ligeramente más potente y con una mayor influencia del blues.
La producción de Erik Jacobsen, una vez más, es impecable, logrando un equilibrio perfecto entre la crudeza del rockabilly y la sofisticación de la balada. La interacción entre la voz de Chris Isaak y la guitarra de James Calvin Wilsey sigue siendo el corazón emocional del álbum, creando paisajes sonoros llenos de anhelo y desamor.
El álbum contiene algunas de las canciones más queridas por sus seguidores. "Blue Hotel", por ejemplo, es una pieza de una tristeza exquisita que se convirtió en un éxito en Europa. Temas como "Lovers Game" o "You Owe Me Some Kind of Love" son ejemplos de su rockabilly enérgico y lleno de estilo.
Como resultado, aunque el gran éxito masivo en Estados Unidos todavía se le resistía, este segundo álbum consolidó a Chris Isaak como un artista de culto y como una de las voces más singulares de la música estadounidense. Es una obra de una coherencia y una belleza extraordinarias, la confirmación de un talento excepcional.

Letra
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! - Blue Hotel3:12

Blue Hotel, on a lonely highway Blue Hotel, life don't work out my way Blue Hotel, on a lonely highway Blue Hotel, life don't work out my way I wait alone each lonely night Blue Hotel Blue Hotel Blue Hotel, every room is lonely Blue Hotel, I was waiting only The night is like her lonely dream Blue Hotel Blue Hotel Blue Hotel, on a lonely highway Blue Hotel, life don't work out my way I wait alone each lonely night Blue Hotel Blue Hotel - Lie To Me4:13
Letra
There is a woman, far over the sea. Standing and waiting, praying for me. Here I lie sleeping, a girl by my side. Who am I hurting, each time I lie? Lie to me, lie..... Lie to me, lie..... There is a woman, trying hard to be brave. The way that I hurt her, has made her afraid. Things that I'm doing, are breaking her heart. Still she's pretending, that we'll never part. Lie to me, lie..... Lie to me, lie..... I don't care what people may say, I know everybody lies. I'm not trying to hurt my love, I'm only trying to get by. There is a woman, far over the sea. Standing and waiting, praying for me. Here I lie guilty, a girl by my side. Who am I hurting, each time I lie? Lie to me, lie..... Lie to me, lie..... Lie to me, lie..... Lie to me, lie..... - Fade Away4:16
Letra
Flowers and Gardens, abandoned from view. Cry for their love, like I do. People throw their love to whisper, think of all the boys who've kissed her. But to me it doesn't matter they, fade away, they fade away. Fade away. When we meet we fell together, now she's gone I can't forget her. Love is chance but time won't let her, fade away and fade away. Fade away, fade away. Alot of flowers in this world are never seen. I wanna hold you love, I wanna win your love for me. Fade away. For me there was no sunshine, for me there was no rain. For me until I meet you, every day was the same. Fade away, fade away, fade away. Fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away. Fade, fade, fade, fade away Fade......away, fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away. - Wild Love2:56
Letra
I told you romance, this is your last chance. Why stand and whisper, go up and take her love. Why stand and tell her, how much you love her. You know you want her, there'll be no other love. Love............Wild love! Love............Wild love! If you want her love, tell her that you want it all. If you want her love, tell her that you want it all. I told you romance, this is your last chance. Go up and show her, there'll be no other love. Love............Wild love! Love.........Wild love! - This Love Will Last2:46
Letra
If I had to tell now the way I feel about you I'd say nothing. 'Cause when I try to tell how I feel you know I'd only end up crying. This love will last. This love will last. Remembering back times now I know these bad times could never last forever. Wiser men than me have told me what to do when hurt and I'd forgive her. This love will last. This love will last. So take your hand and put your hand in mine and tell me, that you'll never leave me, forever, together, two lovers for forever. This love will last. This love will last. If I had to tell now the way I feel about you I'd say nothing. 'Cause when I try to tell how I feel you know I'd only end up crying. This love will last. This love will last. This love will last. - You Took My Heart2:30
Letra
Under the sun there are many pretty things, You talk of love and the happiness it brings. You took my heart, you took my heart from me. Under the sky there are many pretty girls, But there's not one that can help me in this world. You took my heart, you took my heart from me. Well I'm sitting here alone tonight and I'm thinking about you. Wondering if it's wrong or right to be dreaming about you oh. You took my heart, you took my heart from me. You took my heart, you took my heart from me. Well I'm sitting here alone tonight and I'm thinking about you. Wondering if it's wrong or right to be dreaming about you oh. You took my heart, you took my heart from me. You took my heart, you took my heart from me. There will be no love for me, there will be no love for me. No love for me, no love for me, no love for me. - Cryin'2:32
- Lovers Game
- Waiting For The Rain To Fall3:39
Letra
You and I don't love each other, We don't talk to one another, I don't think you love anyone in this world at all. I'm just waiting for the rain to fall. Tears may fall and clouds may gather, I should go I think I'd rather, Wait until there's no chance left at all. I'm just waiting for the rain to fall. I'm just waiting for the rain to fall. Rain will fall and leave me crying, But there's no clouds up in the sky, But you don't care there's no denying, Cause there's no teardrops in your eyes. You and I don't love each other, We can only hurt each other, I think there's no love left at all, I'm just waiting for the rain to fall. I'm just waiting for the rain to fall. I'm just waiting for the rain to fall.
