After a four-year recording draught, Chris Isaak will return with a new album, Always Got Tonight, on February 12th. The record is Isaak's follow-up to 1998's Speak of the Devil.

His latest effort will feature the track "American Boy," the theme song to his Showtime series The Chris Isaak Show." The first single and video from Always Got Tonight is "Let Me Down Easy," which can be heard on Isaak's Web site, www.chrisisaak.com.

Isaak plans to tour once his show finishes filming its second season. The new batch of episodes will include appearances from fellow rockers Green Day, Shelby Lynne and Third Eye Blind's Stephan Jenkins. The season premieres January 6th.
