Hot Buttered Soul: Isaac Hayes


Chris brought it with Isaac Hayes. I've always respected Hayes work, but never really dug into it beyond what I heard on the radio or in a film. Four songs in forty-five minutes may seem like a lot to handle, but it's not. Put the headphones on and just melt into the music. There is no need to compartmentalize the songs. It's one big piece of butter, slowly melting into your soul. Hayes' renditions of "Walk On By" and "The Wichita Lineman" are stellar and put a fresh spin on those classics. 

I highly recommend this to anyone who likes soul or R&B.
