Stax Records To Reissue Hot Buttered Soul



Stax Records will continue the current trend of reissues when on June 23rd they will reissue Isaac Hayes' "Hot Buttered Soul". The album was Hayes' second release after the poor selling 'Presenting Isaac Hayes' and almost was not released. If not for Stax losing their whole back catalogue to Atlantic Records Hayes would have returned to his original job of writing songs for other artists. The album consists of just four songs: a covers of Burt Bacharach's "Walk On By", Jimmy Web's "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" and two Hayes originals. The reissue will include bonus tracks, photos and liner notes by My Morning Jacket's Jim James.
