Chris Isaak: Wicked Game
built 606 days ago
Smoldering rock crooner Chris Isaak launches the series with his breezy vocals and hits like "Wicked Game" and "Speak of the Devil." Following Isaak, singer-songwriter John Legend presents his soulful melodies to resort guests. Legend's appearance is made all the more special as part of a series of events for The Bon Appetit Culinary & Wine Focus 2007 and offers a number of ticket holders the opportunity to dine stage-side on a meal specially prepared by Bon Appetit Executive Chef and first female Iron Chef Cat Cora. Rounding out the rest of the concert series is classical pianist Lang Lang performing with a 35-piece orchestra, rock trio Three Dog Night headlining a pre Fourth of July celebration with The Warren Brothers and fireworks display, the critically acclaimed Nevada Ballet Theatre and Grammy winner Kenny G providing the grand finale.

Though Chris Isaak has yet to match the commercial success of "Wicked Game" and "Heart Shaped World," he has maintained a sizeable fan base. Both his 1993 album "San Francisco Days" and 1995's "Forever Blue" achieved gold sales. The single "Somebody's Crying," among others, was a minor radio and video hit. In 1996, Isaak released "The Baja Sessions."

Chris Isaak clearly loves the reverb-laden rockabilly and country of Sun Studios. In particular, he transfers the sweeping melancholy of Roy Orbison's classic Monument singles ("Crying," "Oh, Pretty Woman," "In Dreams") to the more stripped-down, rootsy sound of Sun. His stylized take on '50s and '60s rock & roll eventually made him into a star in the early '90s, thanks to the hit single "Wicked Game."

Chris Isaak rocketed to stardom when the hypnotic song "Wicked Game" became a hit, yet this new-fashioned crooner's repertoire is so much more than one tune. Indeed, his greatest hits run from the haunting "Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing" to the mellow "Sweet Leliani" and the twang-laced rockabilly that can be found on "Wrong to Love You."

Isaak and his band went on to record Chris Isaak and Heart Shaped World, which included the hit single "Wicked Game." A slow but steady stream of singles and CDs followed, including the mostly acoustic Baja Sessions.
