Courthouse (From the album "Always Got Tonight") -------------------------------------- Tuning: Standard 440 Concert Pitch Comments: This song kind of became a staple for a backing track during the height of the "Chris Isaak" show and for good reason. Not only is it an awesome track and perfect for setting those sad longing tones that play out as the backdrop for Chris' life, but it also rings similiar to "Go Walking Down There" which was a relative hit for Isaak from "Forever Blue". Most of this song is basic chord changes added in with a few frills so it makes it a fantastic acoustic piece.
