Reviewer: Toni Fournier

Positive Comments: A beautiful arrangement. You did a great job on harmonies and I liked the melody and lyrics.

Broadjam Artist: Randal Dunkle
Song: Illinois (Selsky/Dunkle)

Reviewer: Evan Zappa & The Necessity

Positive Comments: Great energy and power in this track. I can feel the strength of the great instrumentation. Guitar playing is particularly stellar.

Constructive Comments: Difficulty understanding the lyrics. Is that Ella Donna – isque or Ella Donna – esque or something else? Trouble understanding meaning of the lyric “your freight train takes me home” Is “Ella Donna” a woman and “your freight train takes me home” a line intended to mean that the writer has fallen in love with this woman and when they make love it feels to him like a freight train taking him home? If so, i’m not sure this imagery works for me lyrically.

Broadjam Artist: Marc S. Pate
Song: Take Me (duet)

Reviewer: Evan Zappa & The Necessity

Positive Comments: Very compelling vocal harmonization. I feel as if i’m sitting in a high class cocktail club/lounge in Vegas listening to a great combo belt it out for everyone to enjoy. In addition to the great vocals, the keyboard and guitar playing are stellar!

Constructive Comments: Drums or drum machine needs to be made to sound more authentic, real and creative.
