![]() ![]() ![]() Chris Isaak jamming with bassist Rowland Salley The first half of the set consisted of Isaak’s original songs before he plunged into 2011’s mostly covers album Beyond the Sun which was recorded in Memphis’ Sun Studios – the birthplace of the originals. He poked fun of his suit, a stylish get-up reminiscent of one his idols – Elvis Presley – and toyed with band mates all while showing just how fun a blend of 50s traditional rock n roll, honky tonk, and ballads mixed with Isaak’s vocals and modern touch can be. Loaded with self-deprecating humor, Isaak joked that many in the audience were on probation and took the chance at seeing his concert over picking up trash as a penalty. Isaak and his band didn’t just perform, they entertained, playing 29 songs for nearly two hours – some of it during the rain – well past the regular setlist of about 20 songs. The founder of one of the greatest songs ever recorded played to a packed house on Sunday night in the penultimate concert of the Oregon Zoo’s Summer Concert series.
