Chris Isaak heading to Australia

Chris Isaak heading to Australia

Chris Isaak’s new album Beyond The Sun hits shelves in Australia on October 7 – ahead of all other countries including his US homeland – and Isaak will be in town to promote the record next month.

The musician will be in Australia with his band October 5–11.

Isaak’s had a longstanding desire to musically salute his inspirations with an album. An idea which was cemented 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.

“I don’t keep up with the business like I used to,” said Phillips, “but I love to listen to Chris Isaak. He’s very talented, and his music is so damned honest. It’s incredible.”

That’s said to have sealed the deal for the Sun worshiper and Beyond the Sun is the result.

Many well loved hits are covered, with Great Balls of Fire, Can’t Help Falling In Love, I Walk The Line, Ring of Fire and Pretty Woman among the tracks.
