Isaac Hayes - Can U dig it? (comp)

Just got this comp last week. Funny, though, the strongest sets here are the ones from Hot Buttered Soul and there are quite a lot of maudlin pap here - the duet with Dionne Warwick especially and really shows his degeneration.

The blaxploitation music is fun, though, especially the tunes from "Three Tough Guys" and I can see why Quentin Tarantino opted them for Kill Bill. Strange to use songs from a soundtrack for another movie but he did that with "Uremi Bushi" (Song of Vengeance) also, sung by Kaji Meiko and used in the "Female Prisoner #701 : Scorpion" series.

The disco tunes are also piss-poor and thankfully, there's only one here.

Donald "Skip" Pitts is really an under-rated guitarist as well. And the edited "Theme from Shaft" is also deeply unsatisfactory.
