By 1969, black artists were following rock's lead and recording extended epics. At the forefront of such experimentation was big bad Isaac Hayes, coauthor of countless Stax classics and an artist in his own right. On this, his second album, Hayes takes two MOR-pop benchmarks, Burt Bacharach's "Walk On By" and Jimmy Webb's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," and spins them out into slow-building sermons lasting 12 and 18.5 minutes apiece. Heavily romantic, they predate by two years Barry White's symphonic adventures in the same style, revolutionizing soul music in the process. Meanwhile, on the album's third epic, the 10-minute "Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic," Hayes and his backing band the Bar-Kays wind up sounding, bizarrely, like a black Crazy Horse. --Barney Hoskyns |

I would recommend this cd for any Isaac Hayes fan or fan of early funk |

I first heard this song as a little girl on my Dad's stereo system and instantly fell in love with the funky groove of the music. Through my adulthood I would occassionally hear it but so much wanted a copy for myself. I had an "old school friend" tell me the correct name of the song and album and KNEW I WOULD BEGIN MY MISSION TO LOCATE THE CD. I DIDN'T HAVE TO LOOK FAR BECAUSE AMAZON OFFERS SUCH A WIDE VARIETY OF MUSIC. MY FAVORITE SONG ON THE TRACK IS"HYPERBOLLICSASQUEALADUSQIC" I AM SURE I DID NOT SPELL THIS SONG CORRECTLY BUT THAT IS OK CAUSE I HAVE THE CD NOW |

I recently heard " By the time I get to Phoneix " on a local college radio show and was blasted away with the orchestration in this song. The funky horns with the hard rhythm and the smooth voice of Black Moses telling of a story of how is woman did him wrong. I enjoyed every cut on this disc a must buy for people who enjoy music from that Funky era.So don't walk on by......................Enjoy |

This Recording Was Revolutionary!! |
When this album was released, it revolutionized R&B. I don't think there was a brother who considered himself a "player" who didn't own a copy of this album. If he wanted to create a mood in his place, he threw this one on the turntable and got the Cold Duck out of the fridge. I rode up and down the highway listening to this album. Considering when it was released, the musical arrangements were powerful and so different than anything we heard on the radio at that time. Isaac was truly in a class by himself. Nobody was doing anything like this!!
There isn't a woman right now who is familar with Isaac's music, who doesn't remember who she was going out with when this album hit the airwaves. I remember, and I'm sorry that the album dredges up memories of that bum!! LOL That's not Isaac's fault.... I still had Isaac long after I threw that dog under a bus!! In all honesty, a lot of my girl friends would reflect on the monologue on "By The Time I Get To Phoenix", and wish they had a man who loved them like that. It made a lot of us think hard and deep about the relationships we were in at the time.
I thank Isaac Hayes for his contribution.. not only to Black music, but to American music as a whole. He was truly ahead of his time. |
