Broadjam Artist: Rocky Larson
Song: Simpleman

Reviewer: Gladstone Avenue

Positive Comments: Love the piano in this song. Love the little touch of organ in the back ground as well. Very listenable instrumental. Good solid recording.

Constructive Comments: Just seems a bit too long and repetitive to my ear. A surprise in the middle would work nicely. I have same issue with my own work sometimes. But…. Nice work!

Broadjam Artist: The Noted
Song: One Chance

Reviewer: Gladstone Avenue

Positive Comments: I am impressed by then meaningful change of pace in the song, the vocal and the instrumentation. The smooth vocal allows a clear path to hear the lyrics clearly and is appropriate to the song. Great recording, a pleasure to hear. The upbeat portion is also appropriate to the goals of the song about love. Nicely done.

Constructive Comments: Please forgive the 4 on market value. I love the song, but give 4’s all the time as a matter of fact.

Broadjam Artist: Nick Berry

Constructive Comments: I have no additional comment. Just a great song.

Song: Been Down This Road

Reviewer: Gladstone Avenue

Positive Comments: Well, I love the vocalist and I love the pianist. Really like the lyrics, which flow seamlessly with the melody. I just happen to love the kind of pain arrangement as well. Love the simplicity, something I sometimes struggle with. Just wonderful. Congratulations.

Constructive Comments: OK, I have to write ten words. The only thing I thought about was that I’d like to hear the hook sooner, but I have no clue where that would be, and you promote the hook nicely at the end!

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: One & Only Lonely One

Reviewer: Gladstone Avenue

Positive Comments: Really nicely done. I love the flow of the lyrics which support the hook. Lyrics don’t drag and i am truly impressed at the songs progression. Like the instrumentation too. The duet works nicely for this song. Nicely arranged and performed. Impressed.

Constructive Comments: Please don’t take this as a knock. Vocal sounds like Pat Boone meets country. But I like it. I get tired of what has become the “sound” or country music vocals. So the vocal fits well.
