Editorial Review:
Chris Isaak, the epitome of modern musical cool, is back with Mr. Lucky, his first non-holiday studio album since 2002. Filled with his distinctive, sweetly moody, slyly sexy retro-pop, Mr. Lucky debuts alongside the television premiere of 'The Chris Isaak Hour', a weekly music-and-talk series on A&E's Bio Channel. Isaak's fans will consider themselves fortunate that new music from their Mr. Lucky has finally arrived.
Mr Lucky Reviews:
good album with different types of songs 
2009-11-02 - Good, solid album with different types of songs. Great guest singers as well. Love his Elvis-like look.
Back to the best again. 
2009-10-16 - I was delighted to see that Chris Isaak had a new album out. I've been a fan for a long time. This album has good upbeat tunes which has been a CI trait of late. His early albums could be darker, but that's not a bad thing either. He's bringing rockabilly into the noughties. If you like Chris Isaak or not Nashville country you'll like this.
Love Chris Isaak, this is not his best work 
2009-10-11 - Have most every CD by Chris Isaak but this one does not rate up there with his best work. Its okay, but I probably would not buy again if I had the chance to change my mind.
Great to have new material, but . . . .
2009-09-15 - As a solid fan of Chris Isaak's previous work, I very much looked forward to hearing the new CD. For me, it did not live up to the expectations. While some of the new songs sounded much better when I saw him perform them live in Atlanta in late July in a terrific performance, the same songs generally are not ones I would want to listen to on a consistent basis on this CD. The musicianship and production sound excellent, as does Chris' voice, but I believe the songwriting is much weaker than a lot of his earlier work, both in lyrics and lack of enough interesting melodies and chord changes. Much of his earlier work, again, consisted of either more catchy tunes and melodies, or a more haunting style on the ballads. Even "We Let Her Down", the radio single most played, came across as much more powerful on his vocals in the live performance than on the CD, but it is still a very good song and my favorite on this CD. A handful of others are fairly pleasant and somewhat catchy, but none really seem to grab me, whereas the remaining songs are really lacking for originality or just plain good songwriting. I like Chris Isaak a lot and would continue to purchase pretty much anything he issues, but honestly could not rate this effort as any better than "fair", though my opinion has improved a little after further listenings.
Chris soothes me
2009-09-12 - He did it again. I have every cd he has put out. I never tire of his voice. It not only is soothing, uplifting, but especially on a hard work day, driving home listening to Chris gets me in a much better mood. He reminds me of Roy Orbison telling a story in a song and wanting to be "the Girl" he's singing to. There are mellow songs, up songs and just good listening songs to get lost in. Once again, another cd hit with me.
