Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: ANSWER MAN
Reviewer: Mike Nicholson
Positive Comments: Big Joe Walsh feel in the vocal. Nice nasal quality to the vocals. Good hook. Guitar tones are jolly good as well. Thick and creamy. Nice playing throughout. Nice melodic solo section that almost gets prog-rocky with the syncopated bits. The final modulation drives it home. The counterpoint vocal at the end is also a really great touch.
Constructive Comments: Like a lot of things that are home recordings, this suffers in the mix. The vocals are way out front and not sitting in the mix the way I feel they should. There’s a wide range of where it could sit, but to my ears these vocals need to come down about 4db. And I realize it’s not within the scope of a lot of people, but a real drummer would add a lot. The canned drums provide and ample groove but they lack imagination and the parts of the song need to be set up with fills and accents. Still, a good song. Rock!
