Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Her Hearts Been Fooled Again / Country

Reviewer: Joe Stewart

Positive Comments: Very appealing sound and laid back.

Constructive Comments: Obviously a drum machine which makes the track very regimented. Could benefit from more of a build from one section to another. As it is the track flows at the same intensity all the way to the end.I was surprised when it turned out to be an instrumental. It would be worth putting a vocal track to this because the instruments are catchy.

Broadjam Artist: Felice Kaye-Cooper / Songwriter
Song: I’ve Missed You/Featuring Phoebe Blume

Reviewer: Joe Stewart

Positive Comments: Very unusual instrumentation but still very appealing. The voice is also haunting and distinctive.The song is bold and not like other songs which I like very much.This is a song that I will remember because it’s so different.

Constructive Comments: The harp is a great choice but I think it could be simpler in the verses so that it doesn’t conflict with the voice. Either that or lower the volume of the harp in those places.Also thought that the chorus was not distinctive enough and should be very different to the verses.Also, not easy to determine what the title of the song is because it doesn’t repeat enough.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Dark Desert Sky

Reviewer: Joe Stewart

Positive Comments: Will appeal to traditional country listeners and the sound of the voice is haunting. Probably won’t make a single but it’s still a very nice track with a real country feel.

Constructive Comments: Possibly to take out some instruments in places so that there is more of a build to the chorus but it doesn’t matter that much.

Broadjam Artist: Marilyn Hall
Song: Goodbye, That’s All She Wrote (Country)

Reviewer: Joe Stewart

Positive Comments: Nice country feel. It’s old style country but there’s nothing wrong with that. Good structure to the song that will appeal to traditional country listeners.

Constructive Comments: Small point but the lead guitar is a bit dead. A little reverb would just lift it, especially at the start.

Broadjam Artist: Charlie Shock
Song: FIGHT UNTIL THE END (performed by MAGDALENA)

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Great song with non-stop action. Great chord changes. Fantastic vocals. Very intelligent lyrics throughout. Love the bridge.

Constructive Comments: If I would change anything about this song, if I were you, I would listen to “Hands Clean” by Alanis, and make sure it’s not too similar to it. Not so much the melody as a lot of chord changes and a few lyrics. Every song is in one way or another patterned after another song. We all know that. But one or two very minor changes could make it sound like it’s all yours.
