Broadjam Artist: Nick Berry
Song: Just The Way They Are
Reviewer: Bob Birthisel
Positive Comments: Very nice sound, more Traditional Country than Contemporary in my opinion But it has a nice message and excellent instrumentation. Vocals are outstanding.
Constructive Comments: This almost lost me in the 1st 10 seconds. There seems to be some distortion or “flange” effect on the sound around 0:07-0:12, almost like it’s a dirty recording or transferred over from tape to digital with a dropout. It happened again at the very end, from around the 2:14 mark out and it has to do with the cymbal sound. Like the crashes were on a mic that was too hot. I was a pro drummer for 20+ years so I’m very sensitive to that distortion. The song is very good and I hated that I marked it down for that.
