Released in 1991, Wicked Game is not a greatest-hits collection, nor is it a rarities collection. In fact, it's hard to tell what exactly it is, since it concentrates on a brief period of Chris Isaak's career (the late '80s/early '90s), overlooks a lot of hits, and contains oddities like a cover of "Heart Full of Soul" and an instrumental of "Wicked Game." This is not a representative selection of Isaak's music, nor is it particularly listenable, and neither does it give a good selection of rarities for collections. In other words, it's an easy one to pass by.Released in 1991, Wicked Game is not a greatest-hits collection, nor is it a rarities collection.

Noted for his reverb-laden rockabilly revivalist style and wide vocal range, he is popularly known for his breakthrough hit and signature song "Wicked Game"; as well as international hits such as "Blue Hotel", "Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing", and "Somebody's Crying".
With a career spanning four decades, Isaak has released a total of 13 studio albums, toured extensively with his band Silvertone, and received numerous award nominations. His sound and image are often compared to those of Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, and Duane Eddy.
Isaak is closely associated with film director David Lynch, who has used his music in numerous films. As an actor, he played supporting roles and bit parts in films such as Married to the Mob, The Silence of the Lambs, Little Buddha, That Thing You Do! and Lynch's Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, and starred in two television series: the sitcom The Chris Isaak Show and the talk show The Chris Isaak Hour.
