In 1969, Isaac Hayes took soul music to new heights with his second album, 'Hot Buttered Soul'. He built on the formula of Stevie, Marvin, Al, and The Isleys, adding a country - fried twist and making it better and longer. Unlike his debut, this album fully showcases Hayes' producer background, with no 3 - minute pop singles. Hayes was reluctant to record a second album after the commercial failure of 'Presenting', but made a deal with Stax, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, for complete creative control. There are only four tracks, all heavily sampled, yet the lush arrangement and instrumentation by The Bar - Kays still offer hidden gems for beat flippers. 'Walk On By' is a standout, but don't overlook 'One Woman' or the 18 - minute version of Jimmy Webb's 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix'. This 180g UK import has remastered audio from original analog tapes, comes in an old - school tip - on jacket, and is a limited edition of 1000. It's a must - have for soul lovers, originally released in 1969 under the Stax label in 2021.
