W MUSIC REVIEW Isaak 9 s 66Speak of the Devil” comes from heart

Suzanne Pettypiece Editor in Chief‘

After only two years, “the king of heartbreak” releases yet another album filled with songs of woeful heartache and lost love. “Speak of the Devil,“ the latest release from Chris Isaak is no disappointment by any means. Recorded earlier this year in San Francisco, “Speak of the Devil” took a different direction from the very beginning. This album was written and produced in a full band; unlike the last album, “Baha Sessions,” which was an acoustic-based album written by Isaak while lying in bed with a guitar. Isaak commented, “I’ve always made pretty-sounding records. This time I wanted it to be more like “Abbey Road,” with a touch of Phil Spetor. Even my approach to writing the songs was different. I’d write as I went along and sometimes, in the middle of one song, I’d take a break and try out the melody for a whole other song.” The album is different from those in the past in that the mood is altered. Isaak’s past releases include the 1996 release, “Baha Sessions”-a beach album; the 1989 release, “Heart Shaped World”; “San Francisco Days” and “Forever Blue.” These records all include one element that “Speak of the Devil” is lacking-the beach as an inspiration. Although the album includes the above men- tioned differences, “Speak of the Devil” also possesses some similarities with past recordings.
