Beyond The Sun

Chris Isaak grew up listen to the songs put out by Memphis’s Sun Records run by Sam Phillips. So many great artists started at Sun Records: Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis! Now, with Beyond the Sun Isaak pays homage to that classic music with a marvelous collection of Sun Records songs, some familiar and some not. I’ve always liked Chris Isaak, but most people only know him from his early hit, “Wicked Game.” Isaak is a musical chameleon. He can sing and perform in almost any style. That may have hindered his career because Isaak isn’t associated with any particular branch of music. If you love these old songs as much as I do, you’ll be delighted at the interpretations Chris Isaak gives them. And, the sound on this CD is great! Check out the video below.
