Chris Isaak (album)

Chris Isaak is the second album by Chris Isaak, released in 1987. After the poor commercial success of his debut, Isaak honed his style to a sophisticated R&B for his follow-up. It was the first album to feature his entire backing band, composed of guitarist James Calvin Wilsey, bassist Rowland Salley and drummer Kenny Dale Johnson.

The song "Blue Hotel" was a hit in France, and in the U.K. after being re-released in 1991 making the Top 20.
