"Go buy this.
No really, hurry. It's so tight, so top-of-form from Mr. Hayes that your record collection isn't complete without it, if you love old funk at all. He shines, he plays, he speaks, sings.
Then, put it on and go find your man or your woman.
Then, let this collection of tunes just live in your CD player for about a week. The energy here is so amazing and beautiful, you will thank your self.
The liner notes alone are almost worth the price, just for the historical factor. But included is a bright, shiney CD that captures Isaac Hayes' never-before-released, COMPLETE live perfomance at Wattstax, not just the stunning sax solo released on the original Stax Records concert recording. Other stunners are Theme from Shaft, (ofcourse,) and Your Love is So Doggone Good, (8-minutes worth of bliss.)
It will take you back, ground you in the music of the period and it would make a nice gift for Valentine's Day, too!! Now go get busy!!!"
