Most people recognize Chris Isaak from his 1989 hit "Wicked Game," an ode to the pitfalls of love that swells with his signature falsetto and moody guitar chords. But the longtime troubadour is anything but a one-hit wonder—he has amassed 13 albums over his career, making a name for himself through his seamless blend of rockabilly, surf rock, and roots music. His latest release, Beyond the Sun, finds the singer retracing his steps from California back to Memphis to pay tribute to the musicians who influenced his sound. A love letter to Sun Studios, the seminal Memphis recording powerhouse founded by Sam Phillips, the album teems with lovingly crooned tunes by Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis, all performed with a dash of Isaak's own flair. "These guys discovered this music for us and we had to rediscover it," he muses on his website. "There's no way to do it exactly like they did it, so you've gotta give a little bit of your own take on it." During their live shows, Isaak and his crack backing band play with the effortlessness of old friends, often breaking out into choreographed shimmies and duck walks on upbeat cover songs such as "Great Balls of Fire," "Miss Pearl" and classic originals such as “Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing” and “Blue Hotel.” Isaak has a jovial and quick-witted relationship with the crowd, bantering with them as the shifting stage lights glint off his mirrored suit and settle into his signature pompadour for a quick nap.

State Theatre

The State Theatre was saved, as its website states, from "the ravages of time." Built in 1921 as a vaudeville and silent-film palace, the venue fell on hard times in the 1970s when disco balls replaced light fixtures. In 2003, however, a $3 million renovation restored the State Theatre to much of its original glory, as crews painstakingly rehabbed the ornamental plaster, terracotta exterior, and actor holding cells. Inside the theater, a stunning chandelier sparkles more brightly than ever below the venue's signature dome.

The Groupon Guide to: Teaser Trailers

While all movies are uniformly great, financial practicalities dictate that movie studios must build "buzz" around a movie, often before the footage exists to make a proper trailer for it. By having any combination of the following phrases fly toward the screen, you can craft a teaser trailer so compelling that it will make the final film look like garbage:

  • In a World
  • One Man
  • Everything You Thought You Knew
  • This Summer
  • Or Die Trying
  • And the Producers Who Brought You
  • Is Our Only Hope
  • Happy Feet 3

What is the best teaser trailer of all time?
