Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: Good Music
Reviewer: Jeff Maguire
Positive Comments: Sounds a little like Neil Young in a country mode, nice vocals, some soulful guitar, and long list of the greats.
Constructive Comments: This falls into a genre of songwriting that I’d call a ” list song ” , it’s pretty much just a litany of well known country, blues and folk musicians . This is a pretty common technique of writing but in this case I don’t really get a clear hook … it started off making me think you were doing a ” band in heaven ” kind of thing, then the emphasis on Taj Mahal seemed like it might want to be a recurring theme. I suppose the theme is ” good music saves my soul ” but you get to it a little late to my ear. If it was me, I might try and focus it down to that a little sooner , even if you have to make it a good deal shorter.
