Chris Isaak concerts: they're not just for women and the men who are wooing them anymore. "I have always wanted to make this record," Isaak said about his newest release, Beyond the Sun, released on Oct. 18. Yes, after more than a quarter of a century into his career, Chris Isaak has finally created the album he's always wanted to make. (No, that line wasn't added snark, it's actually part of the press release. As a child spinning his parents 45s in their Stockton, California home, this committed artist has been obsessed with the glory days of Memphis' Sun Studio and the visionary artists who got their starts there—including Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis—all of them discovered and nurtured by the late, great Sun Records founder Sam Phillips. Now Isaak has acted on this lifelong obsession, recapturing the transformative hepcat brilliance of the classic sides cut by these greats at Sun with Phillips during the mid-'50s, while also getting down to the heart and soul of his own deeply rooted musical identity.
