Amazon.com review
: As the star of his own Showtime TV show, Chris Isaak plays a sly raconteur with perfect comic timing, but on his eighth album, he shows that he is still intent on continuing in the role of melancholy
balladeer. With his movie-star good looks, affable personality, and string of celebrity
girlfriends, it's increasingly hard to see him in as the perpetual loser in love, despite the convincing likes of "Cool Love" (Love is a flame / I just got burned
again") or the mournful "Nothing to Say" ("Nothing to say now / Nothing to do / I feel my heart breaking and it's all because of
you"). The real mystery is why his doctor hasn't given him a prescription for
Paxil. Isaak momentarily breaks out of his funk with the adventurous and witty "Notice the Ring," which pays cheeky homage to the Contours'
"First I Look at the Purse," and the beat-heavy, Beck-like
"Always Got Tonight." But Isaak largely seems content to live in the
past, strumming the same vintage guitar licks and singing the same sad, sad
songs. --Jaan Uhelszki
Comments :
American Boy is also the Chris Isaak Show theme song.

Life Will Go On for the heart... Notice The Ring for the feet
