Broadjam Artist: Randal Dunkle
Song: Jeanie

Reviewer: HarryBudini

Positive Comments: The strange, sampled drums seem to be galopping without much care about the direction of the song. JJJJ Juliet. JJJJ Judith. JJJJJ Jeannie. JJJJJ Jimmy. I still don’t understand English very well, apparently. The bass is throbbing. I like the refrain.

Constructive Comments: Those drums, they seem to have a bit of a life of their own, on their own, in another town. Although my understanding of rhythm is similar to my understanding of English. The bass is powerfully recorded. Overall, the sound is a bit chaotic, I think.

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: I’ll Take a Step Instrumental

Reviewer: John Kearney

Positive Comments: I am afraid ir did little for me. It was well played and had some kind of originality and that at least we can commend the artist for.

Constructive Comments: I hae to say It is not my kind of music. It was original but not enough to grab the attention of an audience. I cannot understand why another instrument was introduced near the end for had it been brought in sooner maybe there could have been some kind of harmony built up.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: I Miss Your Fire (Country)

Reviewer: John Kearney

Positive Comments: The song had original lyrics and the vocals were very good. The arrangement of the music was good.

Constructive Comments: to me it seemed there was a mismatch between the song, which sounded country to me and the accompaniment which was on the heavy rather than the soft side. Maybe I am living in the past but what brings out country songs to me are fiddles, pianos and tight rather than heavy guitar music. The quality of the recording made me strain a little so the group should look to clearer recordings.
