THE BABY HUEY STORY: THE LIVING LEGEND is an audiophile necessity. Recorded in 1970, it is the only solo album by James "Baby Huey" Ramey.

With tracks like "Hard Times," which has been sampled by A Tribe Called Quest and Ice Cube, and gorgeous covers of "A Change Is Going To Come" and "California Dreamin'," this album has become a cult classic among hip-hop and soul fans alike. In celebration of Black Music Month, this album has been cut from the original tapes by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and is pressed locally on 180 gram premium-quality vinyl at Fidelity Record Pressing's brand new plant in Oxnard, California as part of Rhino's new Rhino Reserve line.

Charly Records are proud to announce the first ever long-play release of New Orleans' best kept secret Little Buck. With only two singles to his name on the Seven B label and a couple more on Instant with Huey 'Piano' Smith, this album can only exist thanks to a deep dive into Charly's vast haul of Joe Banashak master tapes. The record in your hand not only includes Buck's super rare funk 45 'Little Boy Blue,' (now in glorious stereo) but six unreleased tracks.There are two instrumentals that were clearly set up to have vocals added, and whilst this didn't happen 'Untitled 1' is a great slice of funk in it's own right and 'Untitled 2' gives us a glimpse into what Huey Smith sounded like on electric piano. The two ballads 'Starting With Today' and 'If I Could Do It Over' are showcases for that great voice. Of the two remaining tracks 'Soul Brother, Soul Sister' sounds like it could have been a Huey's single, whilst 'I'm Your Little Chicken' is nothing less than an unreleased funk classic.

Allow Cynthia Erivo to reintroduce herself. The multifaceted Grammy, Emmy and Tony Award-winner and 3x Academy Award-nominated actress, singer, author and producer bares her soul on her sophomore album, I Forgive You. Tenderly blending the sounds of pop, R&B, folk, Britpop, yodeling, wailing and gospel, Cynthia leaps headfirst into a bold new chapter of her artistry. Impassioned and warm, heartbreaking and vulnerable, I Forgive You is a soft testimony, a haunting plea to be witnessed with an open heart. With each track, Cynthia hopes "that people see the human in me. When you're in the public eye, people forget that you are human because they see you as an entity, but not actually flesh and bone, just like everybody else." The music, her story, is a braised reminder that we're all just flesh and bone. The good and the bad - and everything in between - make up the stories of our lives, and Cynthia Erivo is a sight to behold. "This is all just part of the human experience."
