Isaac Hayes | Hot Buttered Soul | Album

Isaac Hayes "Hot Buttered Soul"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Stax, UK, 2003, SXE 005, 0884860215114, Remastered, Reissue

Released in June 1969 Isaac Hayes’ Hot Buttered Soul is a work that fundamentally altered the trajectory of R&B, soul, and popular music. Moving away from the era's traditional three-minute single format, the album features only four massive, cinematic tracks that stretch up to 18 minutes. Backed by the explosive grooves of the reconstituted Bar-Kays and drenched in lush, psychedelic orchestral arrangements, Hayes successfully stepped out from his role as a behind-the-scenes Stax songwriter to become a defining, ultra-sensual icon of "progressive soul".
