Broadjam Artist: Bob Higgs
Song: Pain

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: Great mood, vocals, lyrics, and guitar part. Again I’ll invoke Bert Jansch as a reference Mark Knopfler too. It has the great moody vibe. I’m waiting for the cello solo, other than that this is done. “Let’s hear it for pain” is a great hook!!

Constructive Comments: Probably too much long delay repeat on the vocals. There may be too much jangle strum? I think this could be opened up into a Mark Knopfler type band arrangement. Nice work (again).

Broadjam Artist: Josh Walker
Song: The Old Rugged Cross

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: Almost a Vince Guaraldi touch at the start. Which is totally OK…and then you go into definite contemporary territory with a Florian Hefner sits in with Skinny Puppy sound. Very elegant tone and playing on the piano with a deft and agile rhythm section that totally focuses on supporting the tune. There’s a lot of riff & groove with a memorable motif but it breaks out into very spacious and lyrical work. This is awesome work. I love it.

Constructive Comments: Nothing. I’d buy your album.

Reviewer: Lazie J

Positive Comments: Nice classic rock sound….looks tailor made for movie sequences..nice groove with the guitars and a good clean vocals ..Enjoyed the song as this is the kind of music I listen to …

Constructive Comments: A change with pattern, chord progression, Singing would have really made this great…overall a nice effort Keep it up

Broadjam Artist: Monk Abrahms
Song: ooh La La

Reviewer: Lazie J

Positive Comments: Old School Rock …really feels good to listen…Nice guitar works and old time sound in vocal….Nice lyrics ..Overall a nice listen

Constructive Comments: Song is little short on Mid range sounds …also there are many places where a cool electric sound can be added to make it sound Big …this is my take..if not Mixing with a bit more mid range sounds will make this a great one

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: I Want The Best That We Can Give (.. from “Taxi To Tonganoxie”)

Reviewer: Lazie J

Positive Comments: Nice feel to the song, with a bit of Santana feel to it ….acoustic guitars drive the song with a good bit of violin ? sounds fresh …and can go in with a lot of situations in movies , TV serials etc

Constructive Comments: Production could have been more tight and also some changes in between could have added more dynamism to the song …but all said it has a nice groove…Keep it up there

Broadjam Artist: David J. Hentosh
Song: Please Don’t Forget Me When I’m Gone

Reviewer: Lazie J

Positive Comments: Excellent groove, the guitars really have the feel ..Vocal is pitch perfect….Loved the overall feel to it . The song can be pitched in sequences with a little bit of suspense .

Constructive Comments: Could have worked out changes and which would have made the song more entertaining ….And of course a lot of scope for explosion with some power or chard changes missed out …Maybe this is done on purpose ??
