Song: Lord reside with me

Reviewer: James Hamilton

Positive Comments: The piano intro was perfect and it made me want to listen to more, great piano throughout. Not sure of the chords at the bridge…could have been cleaner. RESide in me…love the lyric..the message you were giving. it was soothing and conversational for me. An easy listen.Good job

Constructive Comments: I think the vocals need a little work from a pitch standpoint not a feel standpoint. And with some decisions you made vocally at the end of some phrases. Keep the feel though. I believe the first verse lyrics set up your hook better then the second. Like your falsetto at the end. Nice job

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Hook, Line and Sinker

Reviewer: James Hamilton

Positive Comments: Nice fun song. Good song structure except for that space you left in there before the second verse. This is a great hook…be careful where you place it and how many times you sing it in the middle there. Great sing a long type hook. Good lead vocal as well

Constructive Comments: The overall production could be a little better. A cleaner overall mix. Also the verse lyrics can be better to set up that great hook, Maybe better lyrics in the preachers too.I can hear a good instrumental track with this song as well. Good job

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: If Your Heart Should Get Lonely For Me

Reviewer: James Hamilton

Positive Comments: The intro was a good length. I like the overall feel for the track. Some of the section changes need to be a little tighter. The overall mix needs to be a little cleaner. I liked the hook you had.Good job

Constructive Comments: You know I wonder how it would sound if you played the chords on the keyboard and the guitar as the lead melody. Seems like it would flow better. Also how would a vocal sound singing melody you are playing on the keys. Keep it up

Broadjam Artist: FRED GROSS
Song: In the Morning (Instrumental)

Reviewer: James Hamilton

Positive Comments: Good guitar solo thru the whole song. Overall there is a good feel with the track It reminds me of some Islley Brothers guitar licks or brother Johnson maybe. Good job

Constructive Comments: In the mix watch how you pan the gutar solos. Try to keep them close to the same. Overall the mix could have been a little better. The drums were good but for me could have been mixed better with the whole section Nice job

Broadjam Artist: A-Team Producers
Song: Speed

Reviewer: James Hamilton

Positive Comments: I really like the instrument choices for the sound you wanted. Also liked the production. It was very clean and tight. Not sure if you had a hook but for songs like this not always necessary. I definitely hear this in a movie or television scene. Great track and very well done. Keep it up,

Constructive Comments: Not really nothing negative to say. Since i didn’t know it was all music I was waiting for the vocals to come in. I then listen with a different ear. Good choice of length as well. The music supervisor will lengthen or extend it as needed. great hob.

Broadjam Artist: Powerklash
Song: Traditional Wreckage

Reviewer: James Hamilton

Positive Comments: Love it.Different prechorus. Not sure if I like it there or better after the solo. good vocal. good production. Great guitar solo as well. Excellent tempo. Maybe a cleaner mix with the vocal. I lost some of the lyric in the verse. I wasn’t really sure of the chorus either lyrically until the second time around. Great job though

Constructive Comments: Sometimes the guitar solo can be misplaced.Be careful not to put one in just because, It was good but maybe shorter if you want to bring back the prechorus (which you should) There are a lot of good things happening. Sometimes less is more. Well done/

Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth
Song: HOW MUCH LONGER?

Reviewer: James Hamilton

Positive Comments: Good feel. Nice guitar soloing throughout. Nice lyric about the angels flying around in circles..etcWasn’t really sure where the hook was’ The angel line or how much longer. Liked them both.

Constructive Comments: Maybe clean up the intro…wasnt very clean. thelead vocal was different…good different. Perfect for this genre. Lost some of the vocal in the mix. Good job.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Roberts
Song: Slow Down

Reviewer: James Hamilton

Positive Comments: The intro was excellent…you had my attention. Good guitar solo.The lead vocal was ok..was it doubled or some kind of effect?I really loved the has at the end..I think they should have been earlier. loved the overall production

Constructive Comments: Be careful when you have the same intro and then the same music in the first verse. It makes it less effective the next time I hear it. Also you did an intro type later when you just did the music only. Not sure why when you had a solo coming up later. Overall ..good job

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey, S. & A. Corey
Song: Shakin’ in My Shoes…….Sax

Reviewer: Jimmy Michaels

Positive Comments: This is great! Reminds me a lot of 1988 – 1990 era INXS, which I loved back then. All the instrumentation works well and it hits hard. Def would love to hear more!

Constructive Comments: Vocals are a bit too buried in the mix, wish I could hear them cause they sound really classic and great from what I could pick up on. Everything else, flawless!
