Wicked Game (Chris Isaak album)

Wicked Game is the name of a compilation album by Chris Isaak, an American singer and songwriter which was released by Warner Brothers in 1990. The record contains 10 of his best-known songs from his first 3 albums.

To capitalise on Isaak's growing success, particularly after the song "Wicked Game" went top 10 in both the UK and the US, Warner Brothers released Wicked Game, an album that was essentially highlights of his recording career up to that point. Three of the songs were taken from Isaak's first album Silvertone (1985)- "Dancin'", "Voodoo" and "Funeral In The Rain", four from his eponymous 1987 album - "Blue Hotel", "Lie To Me", "Heart Full Of Soul" and "You Owe Me Some Kind Of Love" and four from 1989's Heart Shaped World album - "Wicked Game", "Nothing's Changed", "Blue Spanish Sky" and "Heart Shaped World". A bonus track was included in the form of an instrumental version of the song "Wicked Game".

The album was a hit, going top 10 on both sides of the Atlantic, and introduced the highlights of Isaak's back catalogue to his ever-growing body of fans. In addition to the album, a video compilation of 5 of Isaak's songs was released, including the acclaimed Wicked Game video (by Herb Ritts), Dancin' (Mary Lambert), You Owe Me Some Kind Of Love (Jean-Baptiste Mondino), Blue Hotel and Don't Make Me Dream About You.
