Broadjam Artist: George Michael John
Song: B4 The Storm

Reviewer: Ron D Bowes

Positive Comments: Chugging beat, string bending axe play, heavy interludes with synth. More prog rock than hard rock, but cool track either way.

Constructive Comments: Nothing to criticise here. All sounding good right down to the end.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Lady, Oh, Lady (#1 Folk-Alternative)

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey

Positive Comments: Oh, this song sounds a little like Gordon Lightfoot’s early songs, I cut my teeth on tunes like this growing up in my youth!! Brings back great memories, oh, the days when life seemed more care free! Now to the Great Music at hand….Love the Guitar playing, terrific finger picking, super vocal performance, and a terrific song!! This is just a delightful tune…tremendous job sir!! Wish we’d had written it!! Is this song copy-written?? LOL!!!Just Kidding!!

Constructive Comments: There is just one place in the composition at :46 that there needs a fix on the vocal for intonation, just a re-sing on that word or phrase. Just saying this to be helpful!! Love the tune!! Hopefully this is a helpful suggestion and not a huge criticism by any means!!Again, wish we’d written this song!!! Dag-Nab-It Luke……..The Real McCoy’s…..

Broadjam Artist: David J. Hentosh
Song: I Don’t Have a Clue

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: This is funky and blues style R&B with a solid and slapping arrangement. Very well written tune that I could definitely see being a hit for Santana or someone else in that vein.

Constructive Comments: The tune and arrangement are really good, the horn parts, keyboard lines , rhythms are all punchy and tight, all really nicely done. Lyrics are very good. I really see a potential hit in the song. Whatever the effect on the vocal is though I’d get rid of it, the vocal is a bit weak, and the guitar though quite good, is so much like Santana, that my inclination is to compare it directly,. His phrasing and sense of articulation is better, his bends a little deeper and more intense … ect… but that is an ” extremely ” high standard to meet.

Song: Hang On

Reviewer: DNG Music

Positive Comments: Really like the overall feel of this song. Great job on the dynamics of the song. The guitars sound in tune. Really liked it

Constructive Comments: Think the mix could be better. Maybe even add some soft drums elements. The panning really through me off at first. I think this has the ability to be a great success for you.
