Although he died on Christmas Eve day, 2018, I found out just a few hours ago that James Wilsey (whom I always called 'Jimmy') is gone. Now I'm here on CZcams watching Chris Isaak videos & crying. I was lucky enough to have met Chris, Jimmy, Kenney and Rowland prior to one of their gigs at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, California, when I was 17 and not many people knew who Chris Isaak was. I also got to hang out with them before & after the concert. They all were very nice & personable guys and I remember them being happy to sit at the bar and talk with people. Chris signed the back of my ticket stub and the others signed a paper menu. I think I was there talking to them for at least 2 hours after the gig ended. I also met Chris' cousin, Aaron, who was one of the roadies. Long storey short, every time I went to see them in concert I got to hang out with them and each time, I had them sign something: a menu card, a magazine cover, a CD, a t-shirt, photos I'd snapped at previous concerts... It kind of became a running joke. Yeah, the drumstick Kenney gave me and the guitar picks Chris and Jimmy gave me have been misplaced over the past 33 years, but I still have all of the autographed items, my photos & my memories. And my heart, which I had daydreamed about giving to Jimmy one day, is a little bit more broken now, but still full of love for the guy who was my 2nd rock star crush. I will never forget that New Year's Eve concert when I got up on stage and danced with Jimmy ❤; It's one of my favourite memories 🙂.
Every time I read about somebody meeting meeting Chris and his band mates, they all say that he is an extraordinary great person and I fucking love it, specially when artists of his rank are so humble and friendly towards their audience!!!
First time I heard this song was at Night Break on HAIGHT street 1985 in San Fran! Dj Jimmy Lyon’s would played this on Sundays Sushi night! I eventually saw him perform same year at the Kennel Club on Divisadero
Love this song. It can never be loud enough. The part at the end at 2:18 when he sees himself on the side of the road reminds me of the classic Twilight Zone episode “The Hitch-Hiker.”
Chris was 29 then as I'm the same age,hardtobelueve, now.I thought he was about 10 years younger than me. He always looked very boyish, still gorgeous. The music is great too, the whole package.

Decades later, I still think of this song fondly from Morgan Stewart's Coming Home (1987).
Chris Isaak - Voice of the Century !! 👍😊

Love this song. It can never be loud enough. The part at the end at 2:18 when he sees himself on the side of the road reminds me of the classic Twilight Zone episode “The Hitch-Hiker.”

One of Kevin Costner’s 1st films. Being a 🚲 roadie for years, the film was a fave...
Great like the beat, the groove ♦️👍
Great
Haha. This song reminds me of my old Sega CD console lol
1985? They look like they are barely 21! Did we all look that young then?

He originally wrote & performed this song in 1980 around the Bay area when he was only 24.
