Lead Performance: Chris Isaak
B+
Chris Isaak is that deceptively dangerous guy to whom lost love is way better than potential love. And Speak of the Devil has plenty of minor-key paeans to heartbreak. But it also has Isaak (backed by band Silvertone) melding his sexed-up Orbison crooning with some kick-ass retrorock. By the end, he's even ''talkin' 'bout a wedding ring and the whole damn thing!'' Wicked games, indeed. B+
