Broadjam Artist: Warren Hein
Song: Dirty Mama

Reviewer: CodeSwitcher

Positive Comments: Put this in a film now. Great scend-setter. For some reason I see a film opening with this song.

Constructive Comments: Snip the section with the solo guitar and use it as a short instrumental for people who want something brief with no lyrics.

Broadjam Artist: DeDe WedeKind
Song: Stormy Weather/Can’t Help Lovin That Man

Reviewer: CodeSwitcher

Positive Comments: Well done. I can see this in a film. I mean hear this in a film. Really, very well done.

Constructive Comments: You’ll need a license because it is a cover, but client may take care of that.

Broadjam Artist: Fred Kimmel
Song: Exotica

Reviewer: CodeSwitcher

Positive Comments: Cool. You should find opportunities in commercials, corporate music, film, television. Great job.

Constructive Comments: Don’t accept any criticism on this song. It is done.

Broadjam Artist: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Song: Magnetic Attraction

Reviewer: CodeSwitcher

Positive Comments: Love it. You should have a million pitches for this!

Constructive Comments: Lyrics need work. Ok, just kidding. Don’t change a thing.

Broadjam Artist: Bobby Caputo
Song: If You’re Leavin’, Say Goodbye (Brandmeier/Caputo)

Reviewer: CodeSwitcher

Positive Comments: Very listenable. I can see this over a lot of scenes in a film. Great voice. Love the way the feel builds.

Constructive Comments: I got nothing for critical comments. This baby is done.

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Out of Orbit (Instrumental)

Reviewer: CodeSwitcher

Positive Comments: Love it. Melody lifts, drums drive it. You should find a lot of placements for this.

Constructive Comments: I have had some clients ask for a mix with the drums mixed lower to make it a bit mellower. Might be a good idea to have that alternate mix available in case they ask for it.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: I Still Ain’t Heard My Music

Reviewer: CodeSwitcher

Positive Comments: Love it. Come on, what’s not to like?

Constructive Comments: I think the song would be a lot better if you put my name on it as an author and sent me a share of all the money it makes. No? Well, then just market the hell out of this. Look for rock n’ roll opportunities as well as country blues.

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Wanda the Wiper

Reviewer: CodeSwitcher

Positive Comments: Fun, upbeat, and entertaining.

Constructive Comments: They lyric is so specific it may be hard to place in a film. It has its own plot. However, if you do find a place for it, such as a scene in a diner, you have a leg up over the competition.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Cat Hackles Are Up/ Blues Rock

Reviewer: CodeSwitcher

Positive Comments: Don’t change a thing. Great market for this. I like that the melody line is done with chords.

Constructive Comments: Market the hell out of it. Look for opportunities outside of blues as well.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Just a Glimmer / Blues Rock

Reviewer: Toni Fournier

Positive Comments: The song has a good beat and I like the musical content.

Constructive Comments: I am more interested in songs with vocals that is the only reason I said I would not likely want to hear more. It is a good musical riff though.
