The Best Artist You're Not Listening To


Jake Smith. Remember that name. In an industry that tries to pass off assembly line produced music-in-a-can as quality comes something real. In fact, Real is the title of Jake's debut album on Rockettown Records and its worth picking up. Jake's music has been described as "a fusion of funk, soul, R&B, and rock blend" with a distinct New Orleans area feel. There is a musical depth to Real that is usually missing in other Christian albums. The layers of sound and their presentation to the listener let you know you're hearing more than just a vocalist. Jake's talent as a song writer is clear in his lyrics as he goes below the surface and hits on themes that relate to real life. Real has good crossover potential and would feel right at home in many of today's music collections. I feel Jake Smith is a breath of fresh air and wish him and his band success. Keep it real Jake, your on the right track. Go to http://www.jakesmithmusic.com/ to purchase Real, learn more about Jake, and the band's tour schedule.
