Howie Smart - Rock Come In
Review by vinnie g
Howie Smart's album Rock Come In is a must-listen for fans of reggae and rock music alike. The album features a unique blend of genres, with Smart's smooth vocals and dynamic instrumentation creating a sound that is both energetic and soulful.
From the opening track "Rock Come In" to the closing notes of "Jah Jah Children," every song on the album showcases Smart's talent as a songwriter and musician. The album's standout tracks include "No Livity," a catchy tune that will have listeners dancing along, and "One Love," a beautiful ballad that showcases Smart's emotional range and depth.

Notes
- Track listing on label is different from actual music on the album. One song is omitted (Jah Warning) and replaced with Thing You Try. The track listing as presented on the label:
- A1 Rock & Come In
- A2 Ride In A Dis (Dub)
- A3 Your Love
- A4 Caleeme
- A5 Tell You Jah
- B1 Yes Yes
- B2 Too Jumpy
- B3 Jah Warning
- B4 Chu Wa Wa
- Album shares the same catalogue # as another Howie Smart LP on the label. Matrix is rather likely the real catalogue #.
- The album was seemingly released without a sleeve but was often sold in the »Howie Smart Meets King Culture In DanceHall Style« sleeve. Sleeve design comes in three variations. Either a brass/gold coloured front (as the one uploaded) and also one white background or mustard yellow.

About Howie Smart
Howie (b. Howie Atkins) was named »Smart« due to the resemblance of his voice to Leroy Smart. Even though he had a group with some musical friends in Jamaica he first recorded after he had moved to Canada. He first featured on a disco called »Walls of Babylon« (1978, Choice). King Culture, a friend of the producer, heard Howie Smart in the studio and contacted him in order to record for his label. Two albums were released, »Rock and Come In« and the sophomore album »Howie Smart Meets King Culture in Dancehall Style« (released '82 or '83). The albums had some tracks overlapping.
