San Francisco Days CD

Chris Isaak • San Francisco Days CD

Originally released in 1993, San Francisco Days confirmed Chris Isaak as one of America's finest singer-songwriters. Blending Rock 'n' Roll, Rockabilly, Country and atmospheric guitar-driven Pop, the album showcases Isaak's unmistakable voice and the timeless sound that had already won him international acclaim with Wicked Game.

Backed by his long-standing band Silvertone and produced with trademark warmth and clarity, Isaak delivers an inspired collection of originals including the title track, Can't Do A Thing (To Stop Me), Two Hearts, Beautiful Homes and I Want Your Love. The album balances driving Rock 'n' Roll with haunting ballads, while a superb interpretation of Neil Diamond's Solitary Man provides a memorable finale.

Fans of Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley and classic Rockabilly will immediately recognise the influences that helped shape Isaak's distinctive style. San Francisco Days remains one of the highlights of his career and an essential album for anyone who appreciates beautifully crafted American roots music.
