Live at the Fillmore

Live at the Fillmore features retro-leaning pop crooner Chris Isaak performing a concert at the storied California venue. Backed by his longtime working band, the album is a nice showcase for both Isaak's melodic, romantic songs and his charming stage presence. In that sense you get to hear such popular Isaak numbers as "Somebody's Crying," "Wicked Game," and "San Francisco Days." Interestingly, Isaak also performs a few songs that, as he humorously points out, haven't made it onto album yet. While Live at the Fillmore is by no means a significant entry into his catalog, longtime fans will certainly enjoy this personable and enjoyable document of Isaak's live show. ~ Matt Collar
