Positive Comments: Great concept, good lyrics and song! This song will be popular when released with a better recording. I liked it!

Constructive Comments: Band and singer were good enough for strong commercial success, but the recording was not. Needs more professional recording/mastering.

Reviewer: Clark Ford

Positive Comments: Good energy and groove quality. Rocks! Heartfelt solo.

Constructive Comments: Very poor recording. Song doesn’t cover any new ground. You could tell the band was into it, which is good, but the material was repetitive and mostly uninteresting. Not commercial quality.

Constructive Comments: Vocal has a poorly-recorded gravelly Bob Dylan quality to it. Lyrics and song are very repetitive and not really interesting. The point is made early on.

Positive Comments: I loved the combo and the chords/melody. Nice sax, good sound, vibe.

Constructive Comments: Voice good but not really smooth enough to be commercial. Lyrics were a mixed bag – good concept, but I had a hard time getting over the “eagle” in there. Hard to picture. Let’s see, you’ve got city lights, night, rain, and then – boom an eagle? How about a Nighthawk? Moon? Clouds? Searchlight?

Broadjam Artist: Keith Taylor
Song: Anne

Reviewer: Clark Ford

Positive Comments: Good production and sound. Very commercial, mellow, feel good song.

Constructive Comments: I had trouble hearing the words in the lower registers of the singer’s voice. This song is on the path to greatness, and follows a tried and true formula, but is too ordinary (uninspired) to capture my imagination.
