Hot Buttered Soul is a sexy album. With this album, Isaac Hayes charts the course soul will take in the 1970s. It may not seem like soul music of the 1960s. However, Isaac Hayes has the charisma of Sam Cooke and James Brown and the music has elements of James Brown's funk. What's different is it's got a harder edge to it and the groove is a lot slower.
For those who like long, slow, funky jams then this is a great album. For others, it could become boring and repetitive very quickly. I like the progression within most of the songs. They are slow, casual and carefree and slow from the outset, but slowly build up to a powerful climax.
There are only four songs on the album and they are all excellent, but none stand out above the others.
★★★★★★★★★☆
