Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Stay Away – Instrumental (Classic Rock)
Reviewer: Monday Funeral
Positive Comments: Excellent, clean recording and arrangement. I get the sense this is a drummer at heart? I’m no drummer, but hear some great complexity. The C section/bridge, with the slide guitar is a highlight for me. It offers another great color to the song. Very marketable – I can imagine a lot of uses for this piece. What I really like is the simplicity in the arrangement. My biggest frustration is when I hear artists just trying to put in too much. This feels just right.
Constructive Comments: If I have one constructive comment – it would be in dynamics. The song has different colors and shades, but it’s pretty much all at one level. Not suggesting anything dramatic, but I think there would be room for subtle builds and regressions – to help make the returns to the A section feel more dramatic.
