Nov 18, 2008 - Bit of a shame really,Chris Isaak always reminded me of Roy Orbison,but to change the words of a classic is a sin.I hope he doesn'nt do his version of the Beatle's Hey Juice.

Nov 18, 2008 - Chris is the best interpreter (very soulful and respectful) of Orbison's songs, IMO.

Nov 18, 2008 - Roy is the man there is no doubt about that however this is a very good cover and a great tribute to roy I am sure roy would be happy with Chris Isaak singing Leah.

Nov 18, 2008 - What a disappointment! I'm a big fan of Chris Isaak, but this doesn't seem to do justice to Roy's song.

Nov 18, 2008 - this is an amzing cover by one of THE finest voices in the world today. why chris isaak isnt a huge worldwide superstar with his talent i will never know.hes such an incredible voice, plays guitar and writes his own material to.

Nov 18, 2008 - I wish the audio quality was better on this video... but it's nice to see the cover of this song from Chris Isaak. "From the hut, to the sea... to the sea"? It's supposed to be "from the hut, to the boat, ... to the sea". I can't believe Chris messed up the lyrics! What gives? :)

SlaveScreams Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Probably nervous...I mean...he's there for Roy!!

ladyvee7110 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Good cover and interpretation. What makes this cover so good is the fact that Chris Isaak sang it his way as opposed to singing it just like Roy Orbison.

bigplugg Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I am 27 and I grew up listening to Roy Orbison who has such an amazing voice my favorite song is Leah. I think Chris Isaak done a great job with his interperation
