First comes the night [17 track edition] (2016)/ Chris Isaak

"Isaak's best work is always on the tracks where he embraces his old-school aesthetics and delivers melodic, twangy songs in his signature goosebump-inducing croon. This is the approach Isaak takes on this 13th studio album. Technically, the album is Isaak's first collection of all original music since "Mr. Lucky" (2009), but stylistically, this record has more in common with his 2011 tribute to Sun Records, "Beyond The Sun". As with that album, "First Comes The Night" has a vintage rock & roll vibe with songs that will play just as well to longtime Isaak fans as to listeners who only know him from his 1990 hit "Wicked Game." Recorded in Nashville, the album was produced by Paul Worley (Dixie Chicks, Lady Antebellum, Martina McBride), Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Shooter Jennings), and longtime Isaak associate Mark Needham. Despite its Nashville origin, "First Comes The Night" is not entirely a country album, though Isaak does touch on that sound here." (Matt Collar, Allmusic; 4 uit 5 sterren)
