Kicking around iTunes the other night I ran across this album and was so intrigued I had to email it to myself to make sure it was for real. Tonight, I bought it and have been listening in awe. After some background reading online, I learned that Baby Huey was somewhat of a local favorite on the Chicago scene but because of a glandular disease that caused him to weigh in at about 4 bills and a problem with psychedelic drugs caused him to die when he was 26 years old.Anyway, I could go on and on about how much I'm digging this shit right now, but I think you should just find some clips online and check it out for yourself. The band is incredible and Baby Huey killing me here. I mean this guy's got some lungs. This album was his only recording from what I can tell, and it was produced by Curtis Mayfield (a few songs are by him as well) and the style is similar, though I am hearing things I ain't never heard before. He can sing. Really well. Why are you still reading this? Go listen to some music!
