Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: Question Your Motives

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Reminded me (vocally) of the great 80’s band called Love and Money – check them out – Jocelyn Square or their big hit Candybar Express. A different kettle of fish musically but I always try and introduce artists to artists I like if I hear a similarity – always good to hear a great cross section of stuff in my view.

Constructive Comments: Nothing to really add as I am somewhat unqualified in this genre.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Before The Last Kiss

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: A mix of Santana and Sade and lots of other artists! Lovely bass line in there. Plenty of talent for writing and playing here. Low score from me for recording but only because of the mix/sound balance.

Constructive Comments: Only strange thing for me was the mono mix – could really benefit from a better mix.

Broadjam Artist: Sixty Miles Down
Song: I Can’t Complain

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Nice staccato playing and arrangement – bit reminiscent of some Thin Lizzy stuff. Nice to hear some vocal harmonies. Especially liked the breakdown bit with some unpredictable chords in there – I hate it when a tune goes exactly where you expect it to. Nice one.

Constructive Comments: The drums for me let this track down which is a shame as it’s a rockin number. Maybe just a mixing issue but for me such a driving rocking tune needs big fat drums to pump it along.

Broadjam Artist: Steve Dafoe – Songwriter
Song: Crazy Fingers Chicago Blues Piano (Blues Electric)

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Smoking piano and some tasty harp playing in a traditional style, cool.

Constructive Comments: Nothing really, piano may be a little busy at the expense of melody, and a more explicit arrangement, but it’s all well played and groovin.
