Free Music Notes for Hot Buttered Soul
Free Music Review: Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic
Hit: 5 Stars
When I was about 12 or 13, my father said the best album he ever owned was Isaac Hayes "Hot Buttered Soul". I remembered this about 7 years ago and I see why my dad told me that. Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic is one of the baddest, funkiest track ever made. If you are a "true" fan of 70's R&B, this album is a must have in you collection.Free Music Review: As important today as in 1969.
Hit: 5 Stars
Isaac Hayes' "Hot Buttered Soul" was radically different from anything which Stax Records had previously released. Hayes' eclectic mix of Soul, Jazz and lush, symphonic orchestration was certainly revolutionary back in 1969...but it made him a superstar. In retrospect, Hayes' 1969-74 recordings laid the foundation for Disco and this album remains a pivotal release. Indispensable.Free Music Review: Progressive soul from a master...
Hit: 5 Stars
Way before Isaac played Chef on the sometimes funny, mostly smug sitcom South Park, and before he flipped out on Scientology, he made some of the greatest soul albums of all time. This is the one I consider his best. It's only got 4 tracks on it, but they are all gorgeous. Isaac has a great sense of narrative, and this is demonstrated the best in the song By the Time I Get to Phoenix. It runs 18:40, but he needs every minute of that to tell the story behind the song. The actual song doesn't begin until about half way through it. A lot of people like Isaac's Shaft soundtrack, but I never really dug it. This album, Movement, and Joy are my favorites. Issac Hayes is a lot like the group War, in that he's what I call progressive soul music (who actually opened for him on some tours). Albums with long, complicated arrangements, but with a ton of soul. That's Isaac. That's War. And this is a great album.... Free Music Review: Hot Buttered Soul

Mr. Hayes shows us what he's made of on this CD. A true soul artist. It's amazing to me that he even was able to get this recorded, as songs over two minutes were regarded as 'long!' This music still sounds 'fresh' today! Five stars for Mr. HayesFree Music Review: Overrated...Don't Waste Your $
Hit: 3 Stars
1. Walk On By - Everything comes together on the first track - why do you think they put it there...?
2. Hyper... - Suffers from terrible female chorus; bogs down to a jam session, and is saved later by Hayes' piano work.
3. One Woman - Totally forgettable...it's a song you can't wait to end. Only listenable once; you will skip it from then on.
4. Phoenix - Painfully long intro about some imagined fella Hayes thought would fit at the start. Skip this to the song itself, and you get someone who is trying very hard to be sincere, but isn't. Although he does seem at times to be inspired by the lyrics.
Judged by today's standards, this would be a 10, but up against the context of the great albums of 1969, this is a 3. If you want a truely sincere, soulful, heartfelt album by a black artist that came out in the same year, get George Benson's "The Other Side Of Abbey Road".
