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.
