 (2 Customer Reviews)
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 Isaak'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 Chris Isaak Silvertone Songs Purchase Silvertone CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chris Isaak CD (1986)
Silvertone album
 $9.69  
Having established a winning musical combination on Silvertone, Chris Isaak and his band essentially continue it with little variation on his second album, 11 songs of smoky, wounded romance and dark menace given great all-around performances. Isaak's gift for capturing a perfect blend of early rock & roll twang and making it sound perfectly of the now is his greatest strength, and if later albums showed him finding new ways to twist and develop his approach, the relatively straight-up work here is more than fine. "Blue Hotel" ...

Silvertone music CDs
$15.85
British punk's landscape was populated with sniping, disaffected youths who strung together those mythical three chords; although Patrik Fitzgerald was one of them, he quickly learned that punk's democratic spirit didn't necessarily embrace solo performers with poetic pretensions and acoustic guitars. If Fitzgerald's work found scant favor in the late '70s, this compilation of recordings from 1977 to 1981 suggests it doesn't improve ...

Silvertone album
$9.35 
That there even is a tribute album to a teenage singer with only one album under her belt is credit to the marketing escalator that Avril Lavigne has ridden all the way to pop's top floor. While she is routinely credited/blamed with expanding/distorting the notion of what a female pop star should be, Lavigne's success ...

Silvertone music CDs
$2.34  
There are many talented people in the world of music, but only a few that have adeptly conquered the various areas of expertise necessary to be considered a consummate artist. St. Paul is such an artist. Whether it be performing with Prince, contributing to the success of a 10 million selling album (The Corrs), serving as Musical Director for Donny Osmond, or producing a feature piece of music for the closing ceremonies for the 2002 Winter Olympics, St. Paul is a musical talent respected by colleagues and fans alike. St. Paul is the youngest son of a musical dynasty, lovingly referred to as Minnesota's First Family of Music, based in Minneapolis, MN. Family matriarch and mother Jeanne Peterson, an accomplished pianist and recording artist herself, raised her children with a keen eye to the future. Encouraging an ever-present musical ability in her children including Paul's siblings Billy, Linda, Patty and Ricky, Jeanne perhaps never imagined what her talented offspring, especially her youngest son Paul, would one day accomplish in the field of music.St. Paul was discovered at the young age of seventeen by the legendary artist Prince, and was designated to appear in his 1984 Academy Award Winning film Purple Rain as the new keyboard player in the chart-topping R&B group The Time. St. Paul's foray into the big leagues was under way at a rapid pace. He shortly thereafter contributed his keyboard prowess to the groups platinum album Ice Cream Castles (#24 pop), and the infectious single Jungle Love (#6 R&B/pop).After the surprising disintegration of the group later that year, ...
