Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: Tap City (Demo)

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: A broken bottle of hard times indeed, pretty decent song, terrible recording.

Constructive Comments: Not to shave to shave the point too finely, this recording is awful, every aspect of it. Song has potential, I think I already reviewed a different version of the same tune that was substantially better. Frankly, I’d take this one off.

Broadjam Artist: FRED GROSS
Song: Misty Morning

Reviewer: Fred Kimmel

Positive Comments: Great guitar playing. Nice composition.

Constructive Comments: Guitars are fantastic! The organ is painful, both in sound and performance, but sometimes that’s what we’re going for. Most important: The desperately needs a live drummer or someone who can do drum programming with FEEL. Never forget, in Blues and Rock, the drummer is the most important part of the band.

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Wanda the Wiper

Reviewer: Fred Kimmel

Positive Comments: Singer kicks butt! Excellent arrangement as well.

Constructive Comments: The only possible critique I could is that it SO clean, that it sounds to me like more of a Broadway production than what could be a dirty hardcore blues presentation. I realize this is just my own taste and nothing else. Great work overall!
