Hi, everyone. Welcome to another edition of Music Monday.

I have been in a deep dive of Chris Isaak’s music lately after finding a few live clips of some shows he did last year. That has me missing his quirky, cool & unbelievably funny self-titled Showtime show which has yet to be made available on DVD or for streaming despite the fact that it ended its three season run 20 years ago.

Today’s song, which was featured in S2 E12 as a fabulous duet with country artist Allison Moorer, is from his 1998 album, Speak Of The Devil. It was the follow up to his sixth album, The Baja Sessions where he put an acoustic spin on some of his previously released songs along with his own takes of Dean Martin’s “Return To Me” and Roy Orbison’s “Only The Lonely”. It is hard to believe that Isaak’s debut album came out almost 40 years ago in 1985. But his voice, his lyrics and his sound are evocative and timeless which are the main reasons why I cannot get enough of his music after all these years.

“Cause I still dream of you
And I will call your name
And I will wait
Till you come back again“.
