"Can't Do a Thing to Stop Me" comes off San Francisco Days, Chris Isaak's 1993 album, and it's Isaak in his element: a lean, twanging throwback with that silky croon riding on top. He wrote it with Brian Elliot, Erik Jacobsen produced, and Mark Needham engineered and mixed it with a clean, echoing sheen that lets every guitar note hang in the air.
