Broadjam Artist: Bobby Caputo
Song: He Can Dance (Julie Burton)

Reviewer: Keith Taylor

Positive Comments: Very nice song! It is fun and has a great tempo. Great hook.

Constructive Comments: When I hear a lyric like this I sometimes think that it’s trying to fit the rhyme a little too much. Example: “Something there” and “Head of hair”and “Heart’s so tired” and “light the fire”The solution is trying near rhymes.That is just me but I have had producers tell me the same thing.I had one get mad at me for using “Start” and “Heart”. Too cliche, too predictable and forced is how he put it.

Song: She’s So Seventeen

Reviewer: Keith Taylor

Positive Comments: Wow! Great song! I loved the feel and the lyrics. Great hook.

Constructive Comments: A couple of little things. The “She’s so 17” line sounds a lot like Joan Jett’s “I love Rock and Roll” especially at 3:10 of the song. I would change it up just a bit.I think the production of this song could be polished a little bit because it is really close to being a hit song.

Broadjam Artist: The Song Writers
Song: Dance with “Cyndi corkraN”

Reviewer: XS Paradigm

Positive Comments: The guitar riff hit first off, punchy. The vocals sound quite psychedelic.

Constructive Comments: The lead vocal I think should be more prominent with the backing left as is. Of course I could be wrong but the main lyric would be more evident. That would probably mean just another mix this one could be an alternative. Sounds nice. Perhaps different versions (mix probably) and someone can select the one they prefer.

Broadjam Artist: Carol Ann Jones
Song: She’s So Seventeen

Reviewer: XS Paradigm

Positive Comments: Enjoyable female vocal, strong rock guitar. I thought and still think this is way more rock than the genre selected (country rock). Strong lyrical themes, good hooks and all well supported by lyrical detail and very precise backing.

Constructive Comments: A good number of musical features it might even benefit from a lead guitar break over the main theme to end, or before the last vocal after the accapella bridge.

Broadjam Artist: joe pod
Song: Mudpies

Reviewer: John Masarone

Positive Comments: A good grove that I find would work well in a number of placements. I could hear it in some sort of NASCAR promo. Really good job.

Constructive Comments: The mix is well balanced. I think it could be more punchy though. It sounded thin at times. I listened on my stereo monitors which I’m use to hearing commercial type music.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Roberts
Song: Ever Since the Rainbow

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I love the sound of the percussion introduction and the way the keyboards and other instruments blend in, I also really like the Classical Guitar riffs, reminds me a little of The Doors.

Constructive Comments: Great recording and beautiful song, I love the guitars and drums. I really don’t think I’d change a thing – best wishes!

Song: Left Yesterday

Reviewer: Keith Taylor

Positive Comments: This reminds me of folk songs from the 60’s.

Constructive Comments: I didn’t quite get the lyrics. Sorry.

Broadjam Artist: Mitch Siegal
Song: Save The World

Reviewer: Keith Taylor

Positive Comments: Cool song. I like the concept. Very original. I really liked it.

Constructive Comments: I would like to hear a little more production on the recording, I would build the instruments more as the song goes along.

Broadjam Artist: Tristyn Leach
Song: Hard Wearing Soul

Reviewer: Keith Taylor

Positive Comments: This reminds me of Dylan crossed with Leonard Cohen. I mean that in a good way.

Constructive Comments: I had a little difficulty making out some of the lyrics.
