Song: Crazy Like That

Reviewer: amy abernathy

Positive Comments: I loved the emotion in your voice,You sang it very convingly. You sound like Leann rhymes. This is a very nice song. The production was good, it had good meter and a great pace. It sounded like current country. I think you may have a winner here.

Constructive Comments: There were a few lyrics i may have changed, but it was a great song. Good luck with it.

Broadjam Artist: Wayne Ammons
Song: Just Friends

Reviewer: amy abernathy

Positive Comments: I hate it when you love someone and they want to be friends. I loved your voice, you have a very verstile voice, could be rock, pop, or country. The production is very good, pitch is spot on.The lyrics told a nice story but felt the chorus needed a bit more. I really liked the song and the ending was good. Good luck with the song, it has been petential.

Constructive Comments: I think the hook could of been a little stronger, the just friends part was memorable, but the rest of the chorus I can’t recall. A good chorus sticks with you, it was good, but the verses were great, they set up a scene for a bigger punch. I still think the song has something.,

Song: This Time I Know I’m Gonna Get It Right / Country Rock

Reviewer: amy abernathy

Positive Comments: the melody was very good, i would to like to see a few changes in areas. it had a fun vibe to it, i kept waiting for lyrics, but they never came. With the right lyrics it would be a very fun country pop song.

Constructive Comments: it’s hard to review without the lyrics,

Broadjam Artist: Lars Michnevich, a.k.a. Chief Inspector of “Bunko Squad”
Song: Mooods For Orchestra

Reviewer: Massimo Carola

Positive Comments: The melodic ideas are very interesting and modern, resembling a bit of the Frank Zappa orchestral works. I can hear there is a lot of detailed work in the note writing. Sounds to me like a sort of pandiatonism.

Constructive Comments: The demo sounds a bit too basic in ambient and space to give a full impression of the real orchestral work that the writing deserves. Also, the writing sounds a bit too casual to me, more like an experiment rather than a composition with a well-thought purpose. Nothing wrong with it, but in the end the listener gets bored. Tech-wise maybe a little work on the reverb using a warmer and larger hall might give a more immersive listening experience.

Broadjam Artist: Randal Dunkle
Song: Chasing After The Wind

Reviewer: Massimo Carola

Positive Comments: Nice guitar, nice guitar riff.

Constructive Comments: I would work a bit more on the form and the development. Also, the vocal needs some work. The arrangement is a bit too basic. Maybe if you dedicate a bit more work to refine the actual sound of the demo this song may have a great future.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Electra (“Live” at Cowtown Ballroom)

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Great live performance. Great guitar work. Love the chord changes. Voice at times reminds me very much of Art Garfunkel, but song has a much more progressive feel to it, like Emerson Lake and Palmer or Jethro Tull. Really good vocals and song just has an overall great vibe to it.

Constructive Comments: Incredible live performance!
