CD Reviews

This is truly the best collection of Isaac Hayes' work!

Scott D. Gribble | Baltimore MD | 10/14/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Isaac Hayes is a legend and rightfully so. His influence goes far beyond his time and even on to today's music. His voice is unmistakable; his lyrics are just as deep. He's an incredible composer; often his songs seem more like orchestral movements spanning 7 plus minuets. If you've only vaguely heard of Hayes, now is the time to see what you're missing and this is the place to start.

Unfortunately, as with most legends in this genre, Hayes' greatest hits albums can never capture the true essence of Hayes based only on the fact that not enough material is included. An even bigger mangling takes place when these greatest hits albums try to fit more material by cutting the original tracks short, sometimes completely in half!

Finally a collection has come along to break this mold. The Ultimate Isaac Hayes provides two disks of material and in addition features the original complete versions of all the tracks listed (with the exception on Do Your Thing which originally lasts 20 min and here is 4, short of adding a third disc they really couldn't do anything about this). But, really what more could you ask for?

Its not quite as extensive as a box set, but it will surly satisfy long time fans with the catalogue. In addition it's a perfect introduction to Isaac Hayes for anyone who might be interested. The liner notes are extensive and up to date, even giving insight on Hayes' current projects. It's certainly worth the import price and should be a staple for anyone starting a soul collection.
