Wicked Game, by Chris Isaak.
Three chords and the truth, AMIRITE? I feel like this guy was going for Elvis, but singing this song tonight, it felt a heckuva lot more like Roy Orbison. The man can yodel. Which is fine and good, and my hair was never (and will never be) as cool as this guy’s. I think this was probably a song my mom and I might’ve heard and liked at the same time? Did we fight over the tape? Or was it hers?
Either way, it’s a banger for sure. This is one that could probably use a slide solo, or otherwise some heavy reverb electric thing, as long as I keep it clean, but you’re getting the acoustic version for now.
