Description
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. After his untimely death at the age of 26, Curtis Mayfield finished the production of the record and released it via his Curtom Records label in 1971. 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.
