Song: El Ultimo Adios (The Last Goodbye)

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This is a pleasant sounding instrumental piece that builds nicely and then backs off for a nice change-up. It has a sweet quality to it. At the end there’s an interesting sound effect. Good job!

Constructive Comments: Work on making this piece sound smoother and less choppy in spots. Bring that interesting sound effect (at the end) up in the mix.

Song: Another Day

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This song is about an older couple whose love is strong and whose days are numbered. They’re taking advantage of the gift of every day and living it to the fullest. What a beautiful message, poignantly presented and lovingly sung. This song would be a great background track for a family music video of mom and dad in their later years…I can almost see the pictures. I love the way you made it into a duet, made it all the sweeter. Favorite rhyme: Able, Table. I would definitely like to hear more of your work.

Constructive Comments: The introduction seemed kind of “so-so” for such a special song. I think it might deserve a more creative intro…but that is only a few seconds. Truly a great song! Reminded me of my mom and dad before my dad passed away.

Broadjam Artist: Howard Delnick
Song: I Just Wanna Play Country Music

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This song has a really catchy hook. Very singable and dance-able tune. I like the way you backed off the instrumentation at times, made for a nice change-up. The vocalist did a great job all the way through the song, making it super-fun to listen to. I liked the Nashville verse the best. I think a lot of us songwriters can identify with that! Good job, and I hope to hear more of your work!

Constructive Comments: Why not add into instrumental break some real yodeling? Maybe a little fiddle? Weakest lyric: “Country is the only one that’s true.” Recording seems a bit vintage and lo-fi.

Song: The Warmup

Reviewer: Randy Calligan

Positive Comments: I can see this being used in any number of situations, like television or a movie.

Constructive Comments: I keep wanting to hear more space… i.e., room for the echo and reverb to play out after … I am not sure I would call that a criticism really just an observation

Broadjam Artist: Wayne Ammons
Song: Swirling Dreams

Reviewer: Randy Calligan

Positive Comments: Very nice piece of music. You did an excellent job with the sounds and the feel of this whole thing. I could easily see this being used in a television or movie. It made me feel like I was flying through a jungle

Constructive Comments: not sure I have any constructive comments… very nice piece
