CHRIS ISAAK BEYOND THE SUN - RARE OUT OF PRINT DOUBLE LP SET IN IT ORIGINAL 1ST EDITION RELEASE - COULD BE ONE OF THE LAST SEALED COPIES LEFT IN THE WORLD
Double vinyl LP pressing. 2011 covers album from the singer/songwriter, a tribute to the influential sound of Sun Records and the artists who helped shape Rock n Roll. Since he fell in love with his parents 45s as a child in Stockton, California, this passionate writer/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 Sam Phillips. Now, at long last, Isaak magically recaptures the transformative brilliance of the classic sides cut by these greats at Sun with Phillips during the mid- 50s, while also getting down to the nitty-gritty of his own deeply rooted musical identity. 25 tracks
First let me say that Beyond the Sun is a great album by Chris Isaak. And it is great in large part because it is not just another Chris Isaak album. It is an album devoted to a music he loves, that he has in fact based his entire career on - rockabilly and early rock and roll. But it is also a deliberate departure from the songwriting formula that he has followed, with great success, for his entire professional life. We, and he, are better for the chances he takes here.
Like many reviewers, I am an enthusiastic fan of Chris Isaak. I first heard Blue Hotel, from the album Chris Isaak, while driving home from work. I bought the album the next day. I was hooked by the purity of Isaak s voice, his range, and the feeling he conveyed. The amazing guitar work of Calvin Wilsey now unfortunately long gone from the band perfectly complemented the brooding voice of Isaak. From the barely contained anger of You Owe Me Some Kind Of Love, to the mixture of desolation and cynicism of Lovers Game , Isaak displayed his mastery of a type of singing I thought had disappeared with Orbison and Elvis and Jerry Lee. It was a distinct style. It wasn t Cathy s Clown - to take nothing away from the Everly Brothers, or I m A Loser - the Beatles had other ways of singing about broken hearts. And it sure wasn t the Stones or the Who.
The style adopted in Chris Isaak and the albums that came before and after it, is one of real teen angst, a style of songwriting that first flowered in rockabilly and the earliest rock and roll. It shows up repeatedly in many of the records by artists associated with Sun Records
