Broadjam Artist: Steve Dafoe – Songwriter
Song: Love And The Leaving (Rock Pop Alternative)

Reviewer: Black Diamonds

Positive Comments: I liked the story the artist decided to share. I thought this song was very emotional and filled with personality. I really appreciated the artists instrumental track, it was a rare treat compared to much of the music I hear on the radio. Keep up the good work and I think we will probably hear your work on the radio someday.

Constructive Comments: This is just a personal recommendation, I would like to hear a female vocalist backing up the lead vocals to bring a kind of duality to the story. The guitarist is truly blessed and I feel should have a bridge with a solo. At the end of the song..maybe another guitar outro could be added to end the song again showcasing the guitarists talent.

Song: SoulMate

Reviewer: amy abernathy

Positive Comments: This song had a nice bounce to it and with some good lyrics it will be a fun song.

Constructive Comments: I would have liked to hear a few changes in the melody in places. it was a cool song.

Broadjam Artist: Gary Mazzola
Song: HONEY BEE

Reviewer: amy abernathy

Positive Comments: This was a fun hill billy country song. The lyrics were care free and lots of fun. it had a 60’s vibe which made it lots of fun.

Constructive Comments: There were a few places where the vocals were very pitchy, but you were having fun. As a suggestion for improvement, I would say the arrangement and melody is a little dated. I gave you a three because it is a good song, but needs a few tweaks to make it a great song. I thought it was fun.

Broadjam Artist: Paul Mills
Song: Its my guitar (and I’ll play what I want)

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Channeling the Ghost of Jimi and never coming up for a breath from start to finish.

Constructive Comments: Playing is certainly at a high level. Generally when I hear a player come so close to Jimi’s style and sound it works against them for me, playing is quite good, but in the end it’s not Jimi. Now if you took the best of this by way of riffs and lines and built an identifiable tune with some memorable structures, then had a shorter but totally rocking solo, it could be really good, but frankly, as good as the playing is, it’s still just a guy riffing for five minutes.

Broadjam Artist: Bobby Caputo
Song: The Apartment

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I like the sound of the drums and the keyboards, very good sound mix as well. I also like the lead vocals sounds a little like Bill Anderson.

Constructive Comments: Very good Country Song, I think the hook needs to be stronger and a bridge would be a great addition as well – instead of Love will never change, try Sara Jane, best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Maguire
Song: Dirty Mama

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey, S. & A. Corey

Positive Comments: Very interesting sound…Terrific guitar playing…love the edge on the guitars!! It kind of sounds like Neal Young & Crazy Horse….Great Job!!

Constructive Comments: Since this is an instrumental, can’t say anything beyond the music, but it is KOOL!!! What a driving tune!!!

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Cars

Reviewer: Douglas Branson aka dB+1

Positive Comments: Really Nice cover version of this song with some nice vocal harmony / counter harmony sound fx.I like the arrangement and production. SEXY…………………………………………………..

Constructive Comments: I still like this tune as am a product of the 80s, and went to many rock, punk, and new wave concerts. enjoyed listening to this one. Thank you. Maybe better than the original. CARS………………..

Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: WHEN’S WILLIE GONNA BUY A NEW GUITAR?

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: Very good sound and well written – I like the lead vocals – very unique, sounds a bit like Leon Russell.

Constructive Comments: I like this one, very humorous song – It made me laugh and that’s not an easy thing to do, especially this morning – I do think this song has great potential – for some reason I think a piano would be appropriate right in the final minute, with some added lyrics about his sister’s dislike for his guitar as well – best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: Charles Bunting
Song: love shows the way, Instr.

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I really like the sound of the rhythm guitar and the lead guitar, such a wonderful clean sound, very cool song!

Constructive Comments: I like this song, it really is a great instrumental – I think it would sound even better if another instrument was introduced in the last minute of the song, either a mandolin or fiddle but I can’t call it. Best wishes!
