Song: Love And The Leaving (Rock – Alternative Pop, Pop – Alternative)

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Can’t get any more soulful than this. Very deep, and I wouldn’t change a thing instrumentally, because acoustics work best with this song. Great changes throughout and very soulful vocals.

Constructive Comments: Great job here. This song could be very useful in a movie or in TV. I can hear it playing in the background in any number of shows.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Candy Stripes / Rock Alt

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Very catchy tune with nice changes throughout and memorable riff. I could see this working very well in advertising or in some kind of a TV intro.

Constructive Comments: Nice sound here.

Broadjam Artist: Charlie Shock
Song: A BETTER WAY

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Very cool lyrics. Great chord changes and instrumentation. Original both musically and lyrically. Vocals are very pleasurable and very powerful both at the same time. Really good job here.

Constructive Comments: Very good and original work here. Good luck.

Broadjam Artist: MineHead
Song: regeneration

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Cool sound. Starts off dark and mysterious and those elements continue throughout. Change at about 1:30 mark comes just where a change is needed. Very original and cool sound. Good work.

Constructive Comments: Only thing I might add here would be an explosion at the very end, such as a bomb dropping, ’cause it kinda sounds exactly what this is leading to.

Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat
Song: GONNA BE ON TIME!

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Very good sound. Nice intro, nice instrumentation, great riff. Very original both musically and lyrically. Sounds like the Stray Cats meet Funkadelic. Very good groove that just keeps on gettin’ it and gettin’ it. Enjoyable song.

Constructive Comments: Good sound that keeps you wanting more when it’s done. Keep it comin’!

Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic
Song: Cowboy Funk

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: Steely Dan meets Jerry Reed!! Also a bit like a guitarist called Johnny A who has some hot instrumental work. I like the snappy Country Boy Funk intro. Great guitar tone and the bass too both are playing some really hip riffs. And the drums are pretty dang good too. Lots of cool arrangement ideas here and major league chops. Very cool!!!

Constructive Comments: This isn’t enough by itself yet but there is some very cool stuff going on here. I’d really like to hear you develop this.

Broadjam Artist: Randy Steward
Song: As Daylight Breaks

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: This reminds me of Bread/David Gates and Kenny Loggins (Watching the River Run). Not a current sound but a very good one. Nice vocal performance and chord choices. There’s a very personal touch in this, and there are bound to still be plenty of fans for a mellow romantic sound like this!

Constructive Comments: A lot of 500hz? boominess here. That needs to be tamed so it can be heard more easily. The “horn” solo is too cheezy with a key patch. I’d clean up that bass tone and take the chorus off.

Broadjam Artist: Marilyn Hall
Song: The Gospel of John

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: Really tasty intro–sounds like Big Head Todd & The Monsters or Barenaked Ladies. This is very polished and accessible–it belongs on the radio, Christian radio that is.

Constructive Comments: It’s ready now no edits needed.
