Sobre el álbum
La discografía de Chris Isaak presenta con este álbum de 2009 un regreso a la forma tras varios años sin publicar un disco con material original. 'Mr. Lucky' es una obra que encapsula todas las facetas del sonido de Chris Isaak, desde el rockabilly enérgico hasta la balada desgarradora. El título es irónico, ya que las letras siguen explorando sus temas predilectos de desamor y soledad.
El álbum es una colección de canciones de una calidad excepcional, que demuestran que su inspiración como compositor seguía intacta. La producción es impecable, con ese sonido atemporal que combina la calidez de lo vintage con la claridad de la grabación moderna. El disco cuenta con la participación de varias colaboradoras de lujo.
Por ejemplo, canta a dúo con la cantante de country Trisha Yearwood en la emotiva "Breaking Apart". El álbum es rico y variado. Temas como "Cheater's Town" son puro rock and roll, mientras que "You Don't Cry Like I Do" es una de sus baladas más conmovedoras.
'Mr. Lucky' fue un regreso muy aplaudido por la crítica y los fans. Es un trabajo que reafirma a Chris Isaak como uno de los grandes artesanos del rock and roll americano, un artista con un universo sonoro y lírico absolutamente inconfundible.

Letra
Her father and her mother Never showed her any affection at all I wonder if it hurts her now, now that it's too late they call We let her down, it's true We let her down, it's true I told her I'd be there It's easy to say what you want to believe I told her I'd love her, now that it's too late I see I let her down, it's true I let her down Let her down Let her down I let her down So helpless, pretending, hoping that somehow somebody would see So desperate for someone, I guess that she thought that someone was me I let her down, it's true I let her down I let her down Look at her, look through her eyes Closer the hurt and the pain I hope now she's somewhere Where they'll never hurt her again - You Don't Cry Like I Do4:11
- We've Got Tomorrow2:22
- Breaking Apart3:39
Letra
Just another day without you. I'll be okay without you . I'll be fine. I'll be alright. I'll find some one new without you. Somebody just like you but not you. I'll be alright. Say I'll be alright. But I'm breaking apart inside. I'm breaking apart inside. I cry in my sleep at night. I'm breaking apart without you. I hardly ever think about you. I said I'd call but I don't need to. I'll be fine. I've got so much to do without you. I said that I'd be lost without you. I'll be fine. Just give me time. Cause I'm breaking apart inside. I'm breaking apart inside. I cry in my sleep at night. I'm breaking apart without you. And I'm hoping, you're doing fine too I don't wanna sleep without you. Dreams don't mean a thing without you. I feel so alone without you. Baby come back I need you. I'm breaking apart inside. I'm breaking apart inside. I cry in my sleep at night. I'm breaking apart without you. And I'm wondering, if you're doing fine too. - Baby Baby3:15
Letra
I said I didn't want to talk about love Cause I'd been hurt so bad Love is just a lot of pretty words That leave you feeling sad Then you held me close You whispered soft and low You didn't say that much But you said what I needed to know You just said baby baby That's all you said Well its not easy to talk when you got so much to say And I met a lot of girls but Never really felt this way I held you close And we stayed close all that night The way that you held me told me everything would be alright You just said baby, baby That's all that you said I don't believe I am ever going to let you go No, I don't believe I'll be searching for love any more Baby Baby You just said baby, baby That's all you said You whispered baby baby That's all you said That's all you said That's all you said - Mr. Lonely Man2:41

Letra
Lying in the tall grass, the sun burning down, With the best looking girl in my home town. People say that I'm crazy, that I'm wasting my time, But I'm having a ball with that girl of mine. Little darling... You are the best, the best I ever had. You are the best, the best I ever had. Lying in the tall grass, the sun burning bright, Making love all day, just singing all night. Everything's ok, it's gonna be all right. Move a little closer, now hold me tight. Then whisper... You are the best, the best I ever had. You are the best, the best I ever had. I say hey baby. Let the big dogs bark and the little ones run and hide. I say hey baby. Life's way too short to waste it all inside. So come on now. Lying in the tall grass, the sun burning down, With the best looking girl in my home town. People say that I'm crazy, that I'm wasting my time, But I'm having a ball with this girl of mine. You're an angle... You are the best, the best I ever had. You are the best, the best I ever had. I say hey baby. Let the big dogs bark and the little ones run and hide. Hey I say hey baby. Life's way too short to waste it all inside. So come on now. You are the best, the best I ever had. You are the best, the best I ever had. Come on now...ya... come on now...yep. - We Lost Our Way3:38
