Weak spots & cheap tricks

Compilations like these are always greeted with mixed emotions. Nobody could debate the necessity of a Chris Isaak overview or its legitimacy. Over the years Chris Isaak made some fine album, some even superb, so that's one reason an overview is warrented. Chris Isaak has been reasonable successful, he had some small hits and even had his own TV show, so there's another good reason for a compilation. Chris Isaak is also an artist whose songs you've heard before without actively seeking him out. His songs have been in various films such as "Eyes Wide Shut" and this disc gives those people an opportunity to get further acquainted with Chris without having to buy a whole discography. Although any fan would feel some of his or her favorites are left out on this compilation nobody can argue that al of his hits or near hits are there. So far, so good.

California Cool

There are at times where artists may have the appela they've made out to be, but often at times, many have considered them as one hit wonders. That has been the case with so many performers like Bobby McFerrin, K.D. Lang, and so many others. They have definitely showcased that they still have a unique career, but many often displace them as just a person for only a single hit. Chris Isaak has also been one of those personas who sadly fits into that category. Despite that look into being showcased for his only hit Wicked Game, he has still shown a great appeal for a lot of unique music, and that expression of great music is in this first ever hits package.

Great mix of songs!

These songs really are some of Chris Isaak's best. Every fan has their own favorites, but he couldn't put everything on here!
