Song: 29 Angels

Reviewer: amy abernathy

Positive Comments: This was touching song. I loved it, you did a good job with it. You did good with the lyrics.

Constructive Comments: The song had a somber message but the music was a little happy for the song. it still is a great song.

Broadjam Artist: Billy Pilgrim
Song: Big Difference

Reviewer: Kevin Winkel

Positive Comments: The piano hook was excellent! Loved the vocal that came in. Nice guitar playing and the whole arrangement was cohesive. I didn’t hear any hesitation in the playing and it really does set a mood.

Constructive Comments: The major item I heard in the mix was it sounded bass light to me. The kick drum seemed fine but the bottom end could have been stronger which would have given the entire song a lot more power. It’s seems to be relying on the rhythm guitar to carry the low end because I’m not really hearing any bass of any other type.

Broadjam Artist: Fred Kimmel
Song: Just You and Me

Reviewer: Kevin Winkel

Positive Comments: Excellent playing. Very crisp and clean. Enjoyable! I felt the quality of the recording itself was very good. The mix of the guitars was balanced and I could hear all parts without straining.

Constructive Comments: My only comment might be to have a section in the song that adds a little more dynamic contrast. This will not only grab the listener’s interest longer but maybe keep them coming back to listen to the song over and over. Your playing is very good though and that is something that can’t be taught to everyone.

Song: Colossians 2: 9-10

Reviewer: HarryBudini

Positive Comments: Beautiful voices, splendid harmonies.

Constructive Comments: Less midi and more real instruments, I suppose.

Broadjam Artist: Bob Higgs
Song: Dreambody

Reviewer: HarryBudini

Positive Comments: The lyrics are elaborate, the sound is poppy and dreamy indeed, with an unexpected harmonica at the end, it flows well musically, with a nice melodic and harmonic progression, vocal pitch is excellent, it’s ready to hit the radios.

Constructive Comments: More cowbells, probably. I can’t think of anything else.

Broadjam Artist: MELVIN BARHAM
Song: RAIN THAT FALLS

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey, S. & A. Corey

Positive Comments: Say….this isn’t Tina Turner is it?? Wowza…what a Great Voice, and a very nice arrangement……..like the rain!!!I don’t listen to Rap, so it is hard for me to comment on the latter portion of the composition, but the sentiment in the song is truly heart felt and honest!! All extremely convincing and believable….and that is what Great Music is all about!! Keep up the wonderful work and let’s hear more………

Constructive Comments: I have no negative comments for this arrangement, it’s quite well done with honesty and conviction…….and excellent musicianship! GREAT JOB!!! My hat’s off!!

Broadjam Artist: Martie Echito
Song: THAT’S MY DAD

Reviewer: Marc S. Pate

Positive Comments: Great players. This one hits close to home because I’m working on one about my Dad right now! Very tasty guitar, well done.

Constructive Comments: I have nothing here, you did a wonderful job, keep it up!

Broadjam Artist: Charlie Shock
Song: THE WAY LIFE GOES

Reviewer: Marc S. Pate

Positive Comments: Man, very well done! Very tasty players. The guitar reminds me of some old Jay Graydon, one of my favorites.

Constructive Comments: I have nothing here, this is clearly not your first rodeo. Keep up the great work!

Broadjam Artist: amy abernathy
Song: Dancing on a memory

Reviewer: Marc S. Pate

Positive Comments: I like the way the song develops. Nice players.

Constructive Comments: I don’t have much here, you did a great job. But, take this as just one guys suggestion. As a guitar player, I’m hearing a nice solo coming out of the chorus right before the band drops out and you go back into a verse. But, believe me, it sounds great as is!

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: One & Only Lonely One

Reviewer: Marc S. Pate

Positive Comments: Very nice! You have some nice players. Nice harmonies.

Constructive Comments: Not much here, you did a great job. And this is just one man’s suggestion but, since you are harmonizing with a female, maybe more of a dialog between the two singers, with the two of you sharing the verses.
