Broadjam Artist: The Woodmen
Song: Welcome to Baltimore

Reviewer: kevin McAleenan

Positive Comments: Like the gritty voice, reminds me of Bruce Springstein style. The beginning of the song is good, I like the harmonies at the start, and I can see people sitting in the car singing along. There is a happy feel to the song and I enjoyed listening.

Constructive Comments: The lyrics have potential but maybe a bit repetitive.

Broadjam Artist: Steve Dafoe – Songwriter
Song: LA New Years Blues (Blues Acoustic)

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Nice playing and singing, god song, it’s got definite potential in a modern country market with the right production.

Constructive Comments: Very nice playing, vocalist is quite good. Song is good , starts of very well, not sure I love the hook … La New Years Blues, not bad by any means, just maybe not the big payoff I’d expect in a commercial song. The line is good, maybe if this went into a slightly more jazzy Michael Franks vein I’d fell like it was a better fit. Singer has the chops.

Broadjam Artist: Common Ground
Song: Perfect

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Very cool song with intelligent lyrics and a very original idea. Love the guitar work all the way through, but even more so the intro and the instrumental. Great riff.

Constructive Comments: Really good job here.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Time Loop 2015 (BJ Best Song, #1 Rock, Classic Rock, Psyche)

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: For a second, I thought this was a cover of “Crocodile Rock” but it quickly morphed into its own existence. Very good beat. Great riff, and just an overall really good sounding piece with great arrangement, instrumentation and lyrics. Wish there was more of this stuff out there today.

Constructive Comments: Really good job.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Roberts
Song: Brotherly Love

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey

Positive Comments: Cool tune, it sounds Gospel, but Broad Jam doesn’t give the reviewer that option to check that Genre…..whatever?? Anyway, the tune moves along at a very nice grove and the instrumentation is sweet!! Really like the when the Chorus Hits!! Super Harmonies!! Great Job! I have a sneaking suspicion who this might be…….but I will wait for the send button!!!

Constructive Comments: The mix sounds like it could be a bit fuller sounding bring up the track some…..but I’m no recording engineer, so I’m probably full of S***!!Nice song…………

Song: Devil’s Daughter

Reviewer: Signal 30

Positive Comments: I like the very unique but great vocals. The harmonies were really different but in a great way!!! I like it!!!

Constructive Comments: I would make the vocals sit a little lower in the mix. They seemed a little bit too out front for me. Great song though and great vocals. Keep it up!!!
