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
'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. ~ William Ruhlmann
