Broadjam Artist: Charles Bunting
Song: If I’ve Loved You Enough

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Kind of a standard song theme…love dwindles…taken for granted…one person get’s itchy…the other notices and tries to make up for lost time…maybe a little too late….Nice recording that could fit at the credits of a chick movie…

Constructive Comments: Now that I know that’s not Greg Lambert….let me just say…that guy is terrible…lol He shows little sincerity….not a good vehicle for your songs…just sayin’

Broadjam Artist: amy abernathy
Song: I wish you Love

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Inspiring ballad executed nicely with a very nice backing track mixed well to the vocal. A song of hope and peace possibly aimed at our children setting them on the right path and to shun the negativity of this cruel world.

Constructive Comments: Really thought the 4th verse dragged the song down…I would’ve gone to the chorus there. Almost 2 minutes in and only one chorus at that point….also…the guitar fill could go between the 1st chorus and that next verses….

Broadjam Artist: Delta Burnett Reed
Song: Bluestone Mountain – Bluegrass

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Bluegrass based folk song about a woman who’s spirit can still be heard ‘a crying’… Very nice backing track…nicely mic’d acoustic instruments…really sets the table for this folkie tune.

Constructive Comments: Sorry…but couldn’t understand the vocalist. Sounds classically trained and therefore doesn’t fit this song…lyrics are very important and the over annunciation made it hard on me…thank God the back vocals came in…or I’d still be lost….

Broadjam Artist: Marc S. Pate
Song: Just Another Day

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Great little jazzy backing track..lively syncopation ….Good idea to be looking forward to another day…even if it’s “just another day”…positive vibes.

Constructive Comments: Vocal doesn’t fit the track…rambling and off key on several occasions…

Broadjam Artist: tobydthesongman
Song: Tell Me

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This is a fresh, original track with a terrific message. I’ve heard a ton of love songs, but this is the first one I’ve heard on being a good listener to your lover. Great job on the lyrics. Loved mission/listen. Way a queen should be treated. Love the encourager role…this song just comes across as very winsome and likeable. Even though it’s “not my genre”, you have a fan! Loved it!

Constructive Comments: Keep on writing, singing and recording great music…and your lady must be one blessed lady!

Broadjam Artist: FRED GROSS
Song: On The Other Side

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This is an interesting instrumental track with guitar, bass, maybe bongos or some kind of hand percussion. Pleasant to listen to, nicely played. Sounds like you guys have a great time playing together. Nice mix!

Constructive Comments: Didn’t really pick up a memorable hook in this piece. Is this a home recording? Pretty clear.

Broadjam Artist: Charlie Shock
Song: TELL ME WHY – m

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Dynamic arrangement mixed well with a personable vocal. Hook works throughout to the point of craving it at the end…one more time…the build at the end was really stimulating…Guitar coming in when it did just before the excitement was truly cool.

Constructive Comments: Thought the synth bass got in the way at times…synth strings too…song ended too soon…

Broadjam Artist: Earl.C.Webb
Song: CHERRY ON THE TOP

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: I’ve got a big, big smile on my face, listening to this track. I absolutely love the metaphors in the chorus. Jello on the plate (that’s what move like)…that’s just so original, fresh, fun and funny, too. Even though this isn’t my genre, I just loved your song. From intro to outro, professionally produced and recorded, such a pleasure to listen to. The chorus is what really sold me on this song. I bet you guys have a lot of fun making music together!

Constructive Comments: Keep up the good work guys, you’ve obviously got a great groove…I wish you every success! Mrs.Kate

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Maguire
Song: Dirty Mama

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: What’s not to like about this POWERFUL instrumental track? This band obviously has their act together. This is a very hard-driving track. I wonder if there are vocals to it? Great, memorable hook/guitar licks. Nice keys in background and bass is also good. Love the drum intro…really works for this track.

Constructive Comments: The effect on the guitars seems a bit brash for my 63 year old ears. This is blues???

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: We’ve Never Let Go Of Our Dream (Pop)

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: An absolutely luscious lively track…Christmassy with great dynamics and real players sharing the arrangement. Kinda has a pop jazz feel…ala Spyro Gyra….Definitely a market for the track bed.

Constructive Comments: Vocal doesn’t fit here….sounds like the singer has been given a track to sing to…just doesn’t work…and a very weak vocal performance…
