Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: I Want To Be Your Hero

Reviewer: Doug Mayberry

Positive Comments: Great song. This has all the elements of a good, marketable song. Very unique, and I loved the harmonica. I was sad to hear it end. Hummed the tune afterward, as well.

Constructive Comments: I wouldn’t change a thing. Great job.

Broadjam Artist: Bobby Caputo
Song: Cool Junk

Reviewer: Doug Mayberry

Constructive Comments: I can’t think of one thing to improve on this song. Great job!

Broadjam Artist: Bob Bentley
Song: Rockin On Saturday Night

Reviewer: Doug Mayberry

Positive Comments: Awesome song. I loved the melody, and the words were very original and well thought out. Great voice, as well.

Constructive Comments: The only thing I can pick at, (and it is being picky.) Is I got a little confused with the chorus being called the bridge. But that is all I could possibly say. The instrumentation was great, the vocal pitch was spot on. Great job.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey

Reviewer: Doug Mayberry

Song: Be There Tonight / Country Rock

Reviewer: Doug Mayberry

Positive Comments: A great instrumental. Very upbeat and sassy.

Constructive Comments: Nice song, but I would’ve liked to hear the drums do something different at any time. It was kind of a monotonous beat, but I loved the melody. Good song, overall.

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Chicken in the Pan

Reviewer: Doug Mayberry

Positive Comments: What a fun song. I really loved the harmonica. This would be a really good children’s song. It was a silly, forget your problems kind of song, with a catchy melody and great hook. Good job.

Constructive Comments: A little too much of a break between lines, for my taste. But great song, besides that.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: The King Of The Whiskey Palaces (#1 Country-Boogie)

Reviewer: Mark Urso

Positive Comments: I like the storyline – trucking, highways, old guitars … Generally a strong song with an interesting vocal! I do like the personality of the song, the story, the general idea. I can see a whole bunch of people dancing in a club to this, and having a ball. The song has a great subtle build (hey hey hey hey!)

Constructive Comments: The song has a fun feel. The guitar work would possibly benefit from a tiny bit of blending in production in some parts, where it distracts just a bit from the vocal line.I’m reminded of Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen. With that in mind, a boogie-woogie piano (ala Marcia Ball) would be a fine layer to add to this mix. Something needs to be “swung” into place, a rhythmic support element. A similar tightening could possibly be achieved by more strongly emphasizing the basic drum line in post production. Make it punchier. Decent hook, which you could repeat even more. At the very end I hear there is a club-style piano in the mix. Get that to come up top more the ivory is lost! 🙂 This song has market potential in a somewhat focused market.

Broadjam Artist: Mark S. Ludes (MSL)
Song: Over The Hill (2)

Reviewer: Mark Urso

Positive Comments: Nice and tight, with an Elvis vibe right out of the box. Nice and easy, and easy-to-understand vocal line. I like the instrumentation and vocal production is excellent. I especially like the bass lines and drum kit production that helps with that tightness. Nice tune!

Constructive Comments: Horns horns horns! Also a female background singer, would give you harmonic depth, while allowing you to really sound big and impressive, especially if you’re in the gigging business. The song is a lot of fun. Visually, I’m thinking Squirrel Nut Zippers, or a local band called Eight to the Bar, that plays around New England … if you don’t have a visual theme, that can go a long way. I would mostly suggest a horn, flute, or similar.Good luck!
