Blue hotel - Chris Isaak

'Blue hotel' was a track from Chris Isaak's self-titled second album. Released in 1987, the single peaked at number 31 in the Netherlands. In the UK, the single only charted after the success of 'Wicked game' in 1990. It was re-released in 1991, and then reached number 17 in the UK singles chart.

I've always thought that the lyric 'Life don't work out my way' was one of the best lines in pop. I think it's also a universal truth.

My collection: 7" single no. 2620
Found: February 24, 1996
Cost: 2 guilders
Tracks: 'Blue hotel' / 'Waiting for the rain to fall'
