Reviewer: Mike Halls

Reviewer: Barry Osbourn

Broadjam Artist: Laura Adamowsky
Song: Lucky Stars

Reviewer: Barry Osbourn

Positive Comments: Good song, seems like this should have some commercial value for TV FILM

Broadjam Artist: G. Twilight
Song: G. Twilight feat. Maserati Rick Jr. – It’s Deeper Than That (dirty)

Reviewer: Barry Osbourn

Positive Comments: good work, sounds comparable to anything else I’ve ever heard, you certainly seem to have your chops down

Constructive Comments: the only thing I could think of is the drum track might be a little tighter and have a little more punch to it, You could probably fix that with mastering, add some compression and a little low end EQ.

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

Reviewer: Barry Osbourn

Positive Comments: great song, great performance love the instrumentation and playing excellent, good vocals

Constructive Comments: The only thing I could thing of is maybe do something to set the verse apart from the chorus, Maybe if the verses had the male and female voices trade off and then the chorus had them sing together it would give some punch to the chorus. But great work.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Darlin My Heart’s All In

Reviewer: Barry Osbourn

Positive Comments: Theres nothing wrong with the song itself and your playing is fine

Constructive Comments: but the analogue tape hiss is really gunna knock you out of contention for any use value. Its just too much and while its still listenable, I don’t think it would be usable for production.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Back To You

Reviewer: Barry Osbourn

Positive Comments: its a good song and the playing is great, the recording is good

Constructive Comments: the only thing that falls a little short is just the vocal performance, its a little timid, and shaky, not bad, but it just sounds like if you practiced it a little more and did one more take with a little more force and confidence it might come across more polished. But nice work overall and a fun song.

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Hot Boiled Peanuts

Reviewer: Barry Osbourn

Positive Comments: excellent, love the music and the performances were great the only thing I can think of that might be an issue is…

Constructive Comments: is… the subject matter, not that its bad, its a fun idea but for oiled peanuts might have a fairly small or regional appeal, not something very universal culturally, I’m guessing you live in maybe Alabama or Georgia, I live in Kansas in a fairly rural setting and I’m 51 years old and I’ve never heard of hot oiled peanuts so it seemed kinda odd to me, we don’t have such a thing here in Kansas, and I’ve lived in Boston and California and travelled extensively around the country and never once in my life seen hot oiled peanuts, so it may be fairly obscure culturally, same song about peaches or tomatoes, kettle corn, watermelon, cotton candy, might reach a wider audience. But really fun song, love the kids voices.
