Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: King of the Hill

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Sounds a little like Tom Waits doesn’t it, got potential.

Constructive Comments: Backing instruments are kind of hurting. Lyrics actually seem pretty promising but so much gets lost in the really rough vocals and really poor instrumentation that it’s hard to pay attention. I wonder , just how much like Tom Waits, is Tom Waits actually trying to sound … probably not much. Quite a few good ideas here, but I think to get a real sound you need some serious work.

Broadjam Artist: Tom Reardon
Song: Changed My Life

Reviewer: Gladstone Avenue

Positive Comments: Nicely done. Takes me back to Fleetwood Mac, and that’s a great thing in my book. Really like the led vocal. Vocal doesn’t stray off key once and the overdub works nicely. I am eager to see who you are and connect with your music. Let me explain. I did not give top score on market potential. I don’t have a clue. I really like the song, but what I like does not mean much. I gave you the same spot I give almost all of my rev news. But let me assure you that there’s a place for this song. I hope you get a big break on this song.

Constructive Comments: I have nothing to add to my earlier comments. Mix is very good, arrangement is excellent and you have just the right voice singing this song. I’d like to find a similar voice for some of my work. Let me add that this is a fun song. I don’t write fun songs very often but I sure enjoy the ones that are we’ll done…yours is one of those songs.

Broadjam Artist: Scott Tingley
Song: Beauty Parlor Magazines

Reviewer: Gladstone Avenue

Positive Comments: I like the upbeat feel of this song and the lyric cadence. Nicely done. It’s a fun song and it is a pleasure to hear it. The vocalist really has a nice and unique sound. Always on key, too–which is big with me. I also like the quality of the music bed..crisp sound and perfectly cadenced. Nice job!

Constructive Comments: I really can’t think of anything I would do to change this song. It moves perfectly, is just the right length and the vocalist and music bed are quite well done. Don’t be offended that I did not give a perfect 5 across the board. Your lyrics are wonderful and the hook is as well. I’m touch on myself in these categories. And in the top category–does it have market value? I have no idea. The music business is so strange.

Broadjam Artist: Floyd Kelly
Song: Sepia’s Waltz

Reviewer: Gladstone Avenue

Positive Comments: This song is refreshingly different from a lot of work I hear on Broadjam. It is a pleasure to hear it. Very nice use of strings and piano, two of my favorite instruments. I don’t think anything replaces that combo.

Constructive Comments: Solid all the way through. I guess if I were to make any constructive comment at all, it would be to have a little surprise in the middle of the song which tends to repeat. I have trouble with that sometimes and have been working harder to throw in something a little unexpected.

Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: GIMME EVERYTHING (featuring Troy Walls–vocals)

Reviewer: Gary Mazzola

Positive Comments: Good one . Kinda of Rockabilly. good words nice arrangement. instruments are tight

Constructive Comments: I think it could be sped up a bit to give it more energy also some of the transitions between sections seem awkward or forced

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Maguire
Song: Light Shine

Reviewer: amy abernathy

Positive Comments: I loved the message and the lyrics, we need to hear it in our current enviroment. I think you did a great job with the lyrics. I liked the song alot, I enjoyed listening to it.

Constructive Comments: There were a few pitch spots, otherwise very good song. great message! i would consider it country though.

Broadjam Artist: Randal Dunkle
Song: Easy Street

Reviewer: Patrick E. Muth

Positive Comments: nice opening sound. good lyric and vibe

Constructive Comments: Nice job but I would record again without redline. leave some headroom record at 70% and you will leave some headroom and have what you desire on this nice trackP.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Intimate Affection

Reviewer: amy abernathy

Positive Comments: It was a good country song, had a classic feel to it.

Constructive Comments: I think the hook was ok, but i think it could have been said a little diffrently. It was a good song.

Broadjam Artist: FRED GROSS
Song: Jitter Bug Rock

Reviewer: Gary Mazzola

Positive Comments: this is more of a blues and done well. good lead riffs and solid bass.and drums.

Constructive Comments: Its sounds like a straight blues.if your going for rockabilly a guitar usually takes that bass part and the bass does a basic 1 2. could use a vocal.

Broadjam Artist: Jonathan Le Vay
Song: Steinway Express

Reviewer: Gary Mazzola

Positive Comments: to be totally honest i thought there was nothing wrong with this it was beautiful! i’m sorry i could come up with anything constructive

Constructive Comments: i really have nothing here. BRAVO!
