Album: Chris Isaak, Mr Lucky, (Warner Reprise)
Nothing travels like blue. And 50 years after the heyday of Roy Orbison, mileage is still being extracted by handsome devils with fat Gibsons, collapsed quiffs and an operatic way with lonesome feeling.
This is Isaak's first studio album in seven years and it presses all the Roy-to-Bruce continuity buttons which were charmingly old hat when he first appeared 20 years ago. Dianne Warren co-writes. Trisha Yearwood and Michelle Branch co-sing. All bases are covered, though too many songs collapse like the quiff.
