Broadjam Artist: Ashley Martin
Song: Black-Hearted Cowboy (Acoustic)
Reviewer: Kate Carpenter
Positive Comments: Here’s a song about a cowboy with a sad past. The abuse account really touches the heart. Excellently told story, tear-jerking ballad. My favorite rhyme: shard, scarred (that whole line is GREAT!) Very effective word pictures. Memorable hook. Plaintive voice. Nice instrumentation. Mix is right on target.
Constructive Comments: I heard a pitch issue in “dust”. Also you have a woman singing a man’s song. Even though it’s well-sung…it’s still a woman singing a song in the first person…who is supposed to be a man. Can you make it a black-hearted cowgirl? Hmmmm….I don’t know!This is Mrs. Kate. Now I want to go back to the first version I heard and compare the two. Nice job!
