Broadjam Artist: Fred Kimmel
Song: Oh Yeah

Reviewer: HarryBudini

Positive Comments: Kinky stuff with very marked rhythmic parts, noisy guitar riff, strange droning noises, groovy bass, howling synths, exhibitionist solo. Sudden stop. Reminds of Prince.

Constructive Comments: Not clear if the cut at the end is voluntary or a mix/rendition error.Aside that it’s all profesionally done. Don’t like it, though.

Broadjam Artist: Gary Mazzola
Song: SOULS AWAKE CONNECTING IN LIFES MAZE

Reviewer: HarryBudini

Positive Comments: Nice riff throughout the song, communicating a sense of wait and suspension, and anxiety too, when it ascends for a couple of times: these features perfectly match the lyrics. Songcrafting skills in full display here.

Constructive Comments: I don’t hear anything out of place.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Maguire
Song: Light Shine

Reviewer: HarryBudini

Positive Comments: A country pop-rock la Neil Young and Tom Petty.

Constructive Comments: It’s well done. But I don’t like it.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: ’57 Ragtop Chevrolet (from “Modern Progress”)

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Another great story song with super vocals, love the hook and the arrangement.Just keep rockin it up like Bob Seger.

Constructive Comments: No issues, great tune. One of the things I really do like about this is the coherence of the lyrics, you’ve got a time , a place, real characters and a plot with development… very well done.

Broadjam Artist: Salt Panic Music
Song: On The Inside (Austin Tyl3R / Salt Panic 2013)

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I really like the sound of the drums and the drum arrangements as well. Great sounding rhythm guitar and good sounding vocals

Constructive Comments: I think the vocals need to be turned up a bit because they get lost in the music, I really think that another problem is that the vocals are in the same frequency range as the lead guitar. I would change the frequency range to make the vocals stand out – best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Sweet Little Gray-Haired Lady

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: Very cool sounding Christian Song, sounds a lot like Ms. Kate – beautiful lyrics and vocals.

Constructive Comments: Great song – I think this one has great potential as well!

Broadjam Artist: George Molden
Song: Trap beat

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I like the beat of the drums and I also like the sound of the chains, just wish it was a little longer.

Constructive Comments: Sounds like the beginnings of a new rap song – the chains would make a good intro into a prison break – best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: amy abernathy
Song: Georgia Boy

Reviewer: Gary Mazzola

Positive Comments: You had me at the first guitar lick. Great track. it really moves

Constructive Comments: the vocal sounds a bit like its totally separate from thee track. not the same energy.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Maguire
Song: Dirty Mama

Reviewer: HarryBudini

Positive Comments: Instrumental stuff, guitar led, with vague – and intriguging – London Calling reminiscences [the parts at 0:33, 1:16], while the main riffs reminds me of Plastic Ono Band, a good variation at 1:40 that results in a mean solo.

Constructive Comments: I don’t know. I’ll let you know.

Broadjam Artist: Lisa Vivienne
Song: Tree of Life

Reviewer: HarryBudini

Positive Comments: Religious pop song, with a pleasant and heartfelt melody. Tuneful voice.It’s competently arranged too.

Constructive Comments: I don’t like religious lyrics, and these are not even original or interesting in any way.
