Don't Let Go (with bonus tracks)

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 597046) Polydor/Big Break, 1979 — Condition: New Copy

Wonderful later work from Isaac Hayes – a gem from his Polydor years that has a good mix of mellow cuts and more upbeat numbers! The record has 3 long "quiet storm" tracks that take off on Ike's earlier expanded ballad style (forged on tracks like "Walk On By") – turned into late 70s late night jams with lots of stretched out production, breathy vocals, and seductive instrumentation. The best of these is "What Does It Take", which has a nice hook, and the other two are "Someone Who Will Take The Place Of You" and "A Few More Kisses To Go". Other tracks are a bit more upbeat – but Ike does a wonderful job with groovers at this point of his career – really finding a new outlet for his amazing vocals! Remaining titles include the club classic "Don't Let Go" and "Fever". CD features lots of bonus tracks – including "You Can't Hold Your Woman", "Don't Let Go (12" version)", "A Few More Kisses To Go (12" long)", "Someone Who Will Take The Place Of You (single version)", "Don't Let Go (single)", and "A Few More Kisses To Go (single)".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
