Broadjam Artist: Delta Burnett Reed
Song: Bluestone Mountain – Contemporary
Reviewer: John Walradt
Positive Comments: Echoing, wistful, and haunting, the memorable melody wails into a tale from long ago and paints a very listenable story from West Virginia. The story matches the tune wonderfully. It’s a different story that isn’t always told and that makes it unique. Instrumentally, the gentle echoes make it sound far away setting the right mood. You’ll drift right into the story. The tune and words are written so well it could be sung with or without an instrument, even hummed. If you can do that, then you’ve written a great song!
Constructive Comments: Here’s an easy experiment for the mix…maybe you’ve tried it! I was wondering how would it sound if there was just half the echo or reverb on the vocals? The instruments have beautiful echoes. Would a bit more clarity on the vocals would give it a feeling of the storyteller telling the story now while the instruments would drift into the past?
