My mom and dad played this music all the time when I was growing up, so to me songs by Jerry Lee and Fats Domino are the classics, theyre the best songs ever. – Chris Isaak
I come from a small town and I come from a background where we didnt have money to travel. I thought Id have to join the military to get to Europe. So Im thrilled to travel. – Chris Isaak
I think I had kind of an advantage. When I was growing up, my dad had just got out of jail and he had a great record collection. He had – it was all – these were the songs. So I heard a lot of these songs, like, my whole life, so for me it was easy. I already knew what I was going to sing. – Chris Isaak
I hate modern car radios. In my car, I dont even have a push-button radio. Its just got a dial and two knobs. Just AM. One knob makes it louder, and one knob changes the station. When youre driving, thats all I want. – Chris Isaak
I used to listen to my dad a lot as a way of trying to be close to him, as well, because my parents were divorced and I didnt spend that much time with him. And I used to put headphones on and listen to my dad talk and sing and I found that quite… bonding with him, in a weird way. – Teddy Thompson
