Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: The Eyes Of The Lonely / Blues Rock

Reviewer: Vicki Lee

Positive Comments: What a beautiful, yet bitter-sweet song! The singer has a nice voice and lyrics are clear and easy to understand. The song evokes melancholy, yet not abjection. The musical instruments are divine and work so well in this mood. I love the crisp guitar solos and the piano also adds a moving quality.

Constructive Comments: As for market potential, the song is too sophisticated for most market tastes. However, I can see it in a feature film with it’s subtle implications. Although beautiful, the arrangement seems to lack a well-defined chorus and the title or hook seems to be at the end of the verses. Your story left me wanting closure. Even though you appear to have broken a few songwriting rules, I really loved your song. Good luck!

Song: 28 DAYS IN TUSCON (Trent Jeffcoat-vocal)

Reviewer: Vicki Lee

Positive Comments: This songs succeeds in painting a picture of a hopeless alcoholic. The story is believable with vivid references to the sensations felt by an addict. The song structure is concise and flows from verse to chorus very well. The instrumentation is appropriate with a good beat and will get them up on the dance floor. References to the 12-step program and the 28 day cure leave no doubt in the listener’s mind, as to the problem. A good bar song.

Constructive Comments: Some lyrics, however, seem disconnected. Lines about liking women who live in cheap motels makes the guy out to also be a loser. I would prefer lyrics that give him more status. He might be hopeless, but can’t he also be a functioning alcoholic with redeeming qualities? One question to ask is, what artist would want to sing this song? Although solid, no instruments stand out, so your mix might be tweaked. Good luck!

Song: It’ll Be

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I really like the sound of the drums and I also like the cool sounding vocals, sounds a little like Eric Clapton and little like KC and the Sunshine Band!

Constructive Comments: Very cool sound, the only I would change is the lead guitar, it just sounds out of place in this piece instead I think I’d use a piano solo – best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: Nigel Barrett
Song: Saxametosis – real sax

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I love the trumpet sounds and the cool beat of the drums – it kind of reminds me of Herb Albert, very cool woodwinds as well.

Constructive Comments: I really the sound of this however, I think the flute needs to be recorded again it just sounds like there needs to be more holes to fill in – best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: SRJ
Song: When The Floor Comes Alive (C-1 Beatz Remix), ft Leanne P

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: This song takes me back to the eighties, sounds a little like a Flock of Seagulls, very cool beat.

Constructive Comments: I like the song but I think the vocals and keyboards sound like they are in the same frequency range, which makes the voice sound a little muddled and hard to make out at times – best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: STEPHEN CONNOLLY
Song: Borrowed Blues instrumental

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I really like the sound of this song and the guitar picking is great!

Constructive Comments: Although the recording is rough, I do like this song however, I think that I would not use the slide as much. I think I would stay a little more with that amazing guitar picking – I was wondering how this was recorded because it sounds like a live recording – best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: Delta Burnett Reed
Song: Hush Ye My Bairne

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: Beautiful angelic sounding lead vocals, I also like the keyboards and backing vocals.

Constructive Comments: Very good song however, I think it is hard to understand some of the lyrics, the vocals sound a bit muddled. I think the tracks need to be remixed because the vocals and keyboards sound like they are in the same frequency range – best wishes!
