Chris Isaak - Beyond the Sun EPK

Biography

Chris Isaak’s longstanding desire to musically salute his inspirations was fast-tracked when he read a 2000 interview with the great Sun Records producer Sam Phillips that appeared in the Oxford American. Near the end of the Q&A, Phillips was asked if any contemporary recording artists grabbed his attention. His response blew Chris away. “I don't keep up with the business like I used to,” said… Read more in Amazon's Chris Isaak Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Obsession..., November 16, 2003
By 
girldiver "Enjoy!" (tangled up in blue.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wicked Game (Audio CD)
Although I bought the CD for the title track, "Wicked Game", the entire album is compelling and full of the romatic pain and the raw emotion of Chris Isaak. The entire album is about obsession, abandoned love, and heart ache. No don't pop that prozac yet.

Erik Jacobsen, the producer of this album, did a great job balancing the sultry and upbeat songs of love and obsession. A slow deep song of romantic pain will usually be followed by an upbeat song of determined desire.

I personally loved the great mix of horns, guitar, jazz drums on the song, 'Blue Spanish Sky', which is one of my favorite tunes off this album. Some of the upbeat songs I felt had a little too much drums but you can't mistaken the great rhythm Chris Isaak and his band possess and it shows in every song.

I really love this album and find it relaxing and stirring at the same time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just like Elvis !, April 13, 2000
This review is from: Wicked Game (Audio CD)
Chris Isaak is extremely talented, I always loved his songs, but Wicked Game is very special. To me, Chris Isaak is so romantic, singing with his soft low voice with a touch of 1950's - 1960's spirit.

He is as magic as Elvis, his voice is awsome and the songs are so well constructed. My favourites are Blue Hotel, and Wicked Game.

They are "ageless"...these songs are one of a kind, the sort of tunes you would still love all your life and never get tired of hearing them.

Simply magic and beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars For The Virgin Hearted this is love stripped naked !, November 27, 2001
This review is from: Wicked Game (Audio CD)
I first heard 'Wicked Game' whilst watching 'Wild at Heart' and immediately checked the credits after to see who sang it so I could buy it as the fist opportunity. Since 1991 I have never been as compelled or hungry to buy a record with such impulse.
You cant describe how you feel when your depressed, but Isaacs music casts a spell and its the closest description you can make and thats what I call a classic.
Isaacs melifluous vocals and haunting guitar washed down by lyrics that make you think ,would evoke a response from anyone, you will love at least 3 tracks from this album whether your a metalgod or boyband freak - Check it out, this album is a great for low lights, a bottle of chardonnay and 2 amourous people.
