Like Elvis Presley before him, Chris Isaak was a magnificent singer and Rock n Roll guitarist. Over the last three decades, he has covered many different Rock styles, going from his predilection genre Rockabily, to Hawaiian-tinged acoustic music. His singing style has the particularity of holding strength and subtleness at the same time. His lyrics follow a certain pattern in strength, based on the message he wishes to convey. Moreover, he has the amazing capability of fetching high pitched notes as well as very low one, thanks to his powerful octave range.
He also composes great guitar melodies, playing lively Rock riffs as well as appealing arpeggios.
If you have difficulty appreciating Rockabily like Elvis (it is my case), then you might prefer Chris Isaak, with his softer style.
