Broadjam Artist: Powerklash
Song: Kick Ass

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Here’s a FAST rock song that doesn’t wait around for anybody. It starts full steam ahead with angry/agitated sounding vocals and keeps building up until the instrumental change-up in the middle of the song, which has 2 sections, then ramps back up to the original vibe. It’s powerful, rebellious, and motivational. Best lyric: Resist to exist. There’s a lot to like here if you are a rock music fan. I really like the interesting, original and unique sounds in section 2 of the instrumental. That’s a “wow” moment in the song. HUGE praise for the bass player. He really knows his stuff!

Constructive Comments: I had a hard time understanding all the lyrics, but I think I got the basic idea of your song. I’d like to go back and actually read the lyrics I hope you posted them. I probably would have really liked this song in my younger days, but I am 64 not and Jesus cured my rebellion a long time ago. Rules are made to be broken…well…I have broken many in my lifetime but Jesus set me free and I want to follow Him now. PS I think the ending was a bit abrupt.

Broadjam Artist: Spider kiting
Song: Music turns me on

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This song starts off with a good vibe, great percussion and bass send off. It’s about the release/fun time the artist has just playing music with friends…a great topic. I like the simplicity of the message and how the artist brings it across. The more/sure rhyme works in a fun way.

Constructive Comments: Fix the ending. It’s cut off. How can you keep jammin’ if you’re breaking all the strings? Keep up the good work. The only thing I didn’t like about your song was the d word.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: The Road Instrumental

Reviewer: Birthe Noer Myers

Positive Comments: What fun! I kept expecting to hear lyrics, but there were none, and still I thought it was wonderful fun. It made me want to dance and too sing, “come dance. with me, and see and see the winter white,……. etc. etc. Lovely, smooth, sweet and clever music that makes your mind come cup with words before you know it. I love the sounds of this song. Good, gapped luck with it.

Constructive Comments: There is nothing to do about the percussion in country music, I always find it too prominent and too monotonous. It is a very English, Gaelic genre, and I shall not. try to talk you out of it.

Song: Love Of The Family

Reviewer: Birthe Noer Myers

Positive Comments: What a good voice, silky and smooth and tuneful, a real pleasure to hear. And nice lyrics, a celebration of family and the strength that a loving family gives you. That message sung by such a beautiful voice should make this song popular beyond the country music crowd.

Constructive Comments: I do have some trouble with the percussion – it competes with the voice and the other instruments, and it dominates the song – or tries to. I should prefer a less enthusiastic drummer.

Broadjam Artist: Marilyn Hall
Song: America Stands-Country version

Reviewer: Joe Stewart

Positive Comments: Powerful song which lifts just great in the chorus. The voice is as good as it gets for this market and is really current.This sounds radio ready to me and the section where the track lowers leaving the vocals up front makes a tremendous difference to the impact of the chorus.Don’t like the title much but there are a lot of people who will so that shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Everything comes down to a personal opinion.I would love to hear more from this writer and singer.

Constructive Comments: Not much wrong with this track or song. I’m not too keen on the title, assuming I’ve got it right but that is just my opinion.
