EW's GRADE
B+

Details Release Date: Feb 12, 2002; Lead Performance: Chris Isaak

As on his previous seven discs, Isaak doesn't stray far from his rockabilly/brooding ballad/retro-rock formula on Always Got Tonight. Still, he (with longtime band the Silvertones) performs with such charming, seasoned assurance, that ''Always'' feels like a warm visit from an old pal. And with party-starting standouts like ''American Boy'' (his nifty Showtime series theme) and the loungey-surf guitar-funk of ''Notice the Ring,'' Isaak deserves to be back on the charts.
