With his striking good looks and sharp vocal stylings, Chris Isaak knows how to woo his fans. Recorded live in High-Definition for the PBS concert series Soundstage, this 15-track greatest hits performance showcases the artist’s heartbreaking lyrics, haunting melodies and legendary stage presence. Highlights include Isaak’s breakthrough hit “Wicked Game,” the mesmerizing “Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing” as well as a stripped-down, acoustic set of six favorites.
I am a long time fan of Chris, and have been very excited for this DVD to be released. The last Soundstage DVD left me a bit flat. Having seen him many times in concert, this one was much more vibrant and fun. He did his acoustic set, which I really love. I had never heard him sing Western Stars live before, it was really beautiful. My only complaint is with Soundstage. The filming itself jumped around way too much, I would have liked to have some wider shots of the whole band, but it it was just bouncing from shot to shot, some sideways, some at an up angle, and never left you there long enough to really appreciate what each musician was doing. Plus it made me a little nauseous.
And the way the bonus tracks are formatted is seriously messed up. From the main menu, you don’t have the option to see all the footage they had cut. You have to choose each song separately, which seriously messes up the flow. I’m happy to see them, but they could have just put them all together.
But Chris was perfect. From his sequins to his pretty voice. He loves what he does, and he sure is good at it.
