About
Sacramento, California gave us Chris Isaak in the early 1980s, a singer-songwriter who carved out his own lane by looking backward to move forward. Isaak assembled his tight backing band Silvertone — featuring Hershel Yount on guitar, Rowland Salley on bass, and Kenney Dale Johnson on drums — and together they built a sound rooted in 1950s rockabilly and surf noir, draped in tremolo-drenched guitars and Isaak's genuinely stunning vocal range. This wasn't retro gimmickry; it was a deep, sincere love for the music that built rock and roll.
