Song: WALKING OUT THE DOOR

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Super tune, great performances , slide intro is beautiful, it reminds me of Harrison, whole tune is very Beatles into Petty rock /pop … extremely well done.

Constructive Comments: No criticisms, very, very, well done. Kudos.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Maguire
Song: Onion Head

Reviewer: Black Diamonds

Positive Comments: The energy is so good in this song, upbeat and it makes me want to move. It reminds me of Cage the Elephant or Arctic Monkeys mixed with older rock groups. This would be great in a video game or show for a busy city scene on a hot day. The elements of a great song, for this genre are all there. I just wish there was lyrics too, but I’m a person that needs a voice. This song might be fine without vocals, but I know they would make the story complete.

Constructive Comments: The instruments bleed into each other, or overlap as if it were a live show, which may be intentional. The guitar work is impressive to say the least, and the other instruments compliment the lead well, but may bit a little too far back. A little more polishing and this song could get some major recognition in it’s genre.

Positive Comments: nice recording everything is clear and crisp. production is great, nice heartfelt vocal. sax was beautifuly played .

Constructive Comments: loved it perhaps a little play around with the structure would have been nice maybe start with just bass and vocal for the first 8 then bring in each instrument as the song progresess but great job.

Broadjam Artist: Randal Dunkle
Song: Golgotha

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Here’s a great song about Jesus’ suffering and death on Golgotha. Randal Dunkle writes about things that no one else writes about, and does a great job of telling the story of Jesus in an original way. He takes scripture and weaves it into a rhyming story using original lyrics and rhymes. The song has an evangelistic thrust, urging the listener to trust Jesus as Savior. Nice instrumentation.

Constructive Comments: Vocals are much better and clearer than usual, way to go! I really like this song and guitar sounds excellent especially on the ending. Way to go, Randal! Mrs Kate

Broadjam Artist: Edgar Sounds
Song: dancing Kids

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Cute, Happy-Go-Lucky tune with a nice repetitive hook. I am pretty much opposed to letting toddlers play video games, but I know they do. And this would be a perfect tune for such an application. Nice touch when you brought the whistles in. Good job and I wish you the best with this fun little track.

Constructive Comments: Keep up the good work. I wish you the best! Mrs Kate

Broadjam Artist: Bobby Caputo
Song: He Can Dance (Julie Burton)

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Oh wow, what a tightly crafted song. Tells such a real story…the girl who’s “still looking” in the bars and the personal ads and finally has one on the line. Singer urges her, “Take a chance”. I love the “I hear he can cook and he can dance.” GREAT lyric writing. This writer knows “word economy”. How to say a lot simply and really get the point across. The hook is impeccable. I just love the whole song. If it’s a true story, I’d like to hear how it turned out. The instrumentation is oh so perfect…loved the fiddle especially. Crystal clear vocals and terrific performance. Favorite lyric: Engraved invite to an open door. Wow. 10 stars!

Constructive Comments: No reason why this shouldn’t hit top on the charts. And I definitely hope to hear more of your great songs. Keep up the good work. This is one of the best country songs I have reviewed on Broadjam.Mrs. Kate

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Maguire
Song: Onion Head

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Here’s a great rock instrumental. It breathes excitement and energy. No vocals. Would probably find its niche somewhere out there. Lead guitarist really tears it up. Bass, drums, all very tight. Very dance-able track. Nice job, folks! Excellent recording.

Constructive Comments: Rock on! Mrs. Kate
