All songs have always been credited to the whole band; I don't know anything specific about this one's origins.
I'd marry her if I could.
Is this considered country?
I wouldn't say country exactly, but twangy guitar with lots of reverb, and Isaak sounding like a cross between Elvis and Roy Orbison. And, he does do a lot of rockabilly.
Funny though, but till now, I'd never really thought of that song in those terms.
And can I just say that nearly 20 years later, that video is still the hottest thing ever? Damn.
Yeah, he's known for the rockabilly thing, but a slide guitar does not a country song make, so no on Wicked Game being "country."
Damn restraining orders.
With that information, I remain unable to find a country song I like then. So close.
Just cause someone has a hot cousin that doesn't make them hot themselves, VP.
I'm just saying that if you like that, then it's not such a stretch to move from punk-rockabilly (punkabilly, psychobilly, whatever) into pure rockabilly, and then into (gasp) country-ish sounds. And I still maintain that the two genres and their cross genres have a similar ethos.
What if someone did a country cover of Mandy? Huh? What then?

Absolutely that's country. It's not honky tonk or some kind of Boot Scootin' Boogie bullshit, but that's a country song. I can't think of anything else to call it.
