The king of “hot buttered soul” is back in a big way.

For more than four decades, Isaac Hayes has told tales of love, desire and passion as no one else has. Now the man who was the sound of the famous “Shaft” soundtrack is back with a soon-to-be-released two-CD set ? “Ultimate Isaac Hayes ? Can You Dig It?” The CD has many of Hayes? recordings from the sweet spot of his career, 1969-1975, when he recorded on Stax Records.
