Washed Out/Widowspeak - "Wicked Game" (Chris Isaak Cover)

Washed Out - "Wicked Game"

A couple of indie bands each recorded a cover version of Chris Isaac's "Wicked Game"... for whatever reason. Chillwave artist 'Washed Out' very recently performed "Wicked Game" at a Sirius XMU Session. 'Washed Out' is a solo project for Georgian (State) artist Ernest Greene. On this great rendition of the Chris Isaac classic he is joined on vocals by his wife Blair.



Widowspeak - "Wicked Game"

Widowspeak are a New York trio with a 'Mazzy Star' presence... particularly through the vocal style of Molly Hamilton. They released their version of "Wicked Game" as a b-side to the "Gun Shy" single a few months ago. Molly Hamilton said she was watching the movie 'Wild at Heart' and after hearing the original version, she said "I wish I had written that song"... well Molly, you may not have written it, but you made it your own here. Sensational.
