Broadjam Artist: Julia Schmidt
Song: Everything that glitters ( by Raymie James / Carroll Kiphen

Reviewer: Josh Walker

Positive Comments: Very classy jazz tune! It sounds to me like a lighter version of Incognito, especially the vocal style. Great instrumentation and recording quality. Nice sax playing as well. I love Incognito and I love this as well!

Constructive Comments: I don’t really hear any weaknesses in this. The drums and bass probably have some room to play out more, but they don’t take away from the song.

Song: You’re Not Alone

Reviewer: Tristyn Leach

Positive Comments: unique vocals, unique song and arrangement . good lyrics. kind of rock /indie/ish like a modern western this songmusically there is a lot to it. interesting arrangement , some great sounds , the beginning musically sets the tone of more to comeenjoyable track makes the listener want to hear ago as there is a lot to hear.

Constructive Comments: i was surprised near the end when it went into more lyrics but it really worked i thought especially with the cool music backing on that part, enjoyed market wise who knows they normally pick songs that sound like everything else so no idea for this one. but general public is the only market that matters anyway.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Khyber Pass (Full)

Reviewer: Tristyn Leach

Positive Comments: a very meditative sounding long instrumental track , that rolls along with the tempo with little touches and flourishes along the way. nice piano sound and playing.

Constructive Comments: would suit a chill out cd this track. would of been wise to take out the drums at some point and let the piano do the talking with a few changes, as a listener 8 minutes of the same perscussion can be too much.

Positive Comments: a nice little sweet sentimental love song with a country/folk flavour. some lovely piano on this track and it has a nice sad sweet tone to the song, guitar is nice too.

Broadjam Artist: Warren Hein
Song: Second Chance (country male demo)

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Cool pop country song about a cheating man trying to get the proverbial “second chance”. Nicely recorded and arranged in the style of Glenn Frey/JD Souther. Some distinct touches that put this song out of the ordinary…especially the unexpected last line….Yes people…you’re gonna have to listen to the whole thing!

Constructive Comments: This is really picky, but…..since it’s a country song….you have to assume you’re in Texas or somewhere like that….and if she takes the kids down “south”…we’re talking’ Mexico….how are they gonna get back in after Dick Trump puts up his wall…just saying..lol
