- <p> With the face of Ricky Nelson and a voice like Roy
- Orbison's, a guy can't go wrong, right? Wrong. CHRIS ISAAK has
- such qualities, but it took three albums to get them fully
- appreciated. The pompadoured crooner's latest album, Heart
- Shaped World, foundered before being tapped by director David
- Lynch, who used a version of Isaak's song Wicked Game for the
- sound track of his film Wild at Heart. That sparked disk jockeys
- to play the original. Now even Bruce Springsteen wants tickets
- to Isaak's concerts. But success has changed Isaak, 34. "I comb
- my hair all the time now," he says, "and when I go out, I put
- on a clean T shirt."
