Chris Isaak [ tickets ] will support his soon-to-be-released hits CD and DVD, "Best of Chris Isaak," with a road trip that seems to have been routed with the intent of ensuring that the singer/guitarist works up a healthy sweat.

The outing is currently scheduled to launch July 8 in Las Vegas, and will spend the rest of that month winding its way up the West Coast. A busy August follows, with an itinerary that focuses on the Midwest and Northeast and includes multi-night stands in Milwaukee, Chicago, Niagara Falls and Atlantic City. Details are included below.

Scheduled to hit the street May 9, "Best of Chris Isaak [ tickets ]" comes in the form of an audio CD featuring 14 remastered hits, three new songs and an acoustic rendition of "Forever Blue"; and a DVD that houses 18 music videos and a commentary from Isaak.

"Best of Chris Isaak" follows 2004's "Chris Isaak Christmas," which features 11 traditional songs (including "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," with Stevie Nicks) and five originals, including "Gotta Be Good," "Christmas on TV," "Washington Square" and "Hey Santa!" The singer, who spent a few years focusing on his acting career, hasn't issued a new, non-seasonal studio album since 2002's "Always Got Tonight."

From 2001 through 2004, Isaak starred in nearly 50 original episodes of his Showtime series, "The Chris Isaak Show," which the cable network billed as "part comedy and part reality." The cast included Isaak's real-life band members--Kenney Dale Johnson (drums), Hershel Yatovitz (guitar) and Rowland Salley (bass)--with an ensemble of fictional characters.
