Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey

Positive Comments: It’s a piano piece that could be used in a Film, it’s quite beautiful with wonderful movement. I don’t play piano, wish I did, but this is quite extravagant and moving…perfect playing not a note missed, with excellent timing, noticed that the composition is 3:27 minutes in length and it never feels that at all!! GREAT JOB!!

Constructive Comments: This is a prefect piece of music……not a single suggestion!! Terrific Job!!

Reviewer: Cody Lee/Johnny & The Whatnots

Positive Comments: This is the beautiful song and the folk music style. Beautiful fingerpicking, distinctive vocal and great lyrics. There is absolutely no artifice to this track And I say that as a high compliment. This artist puts it all out there, to like or not to like, but true to their art.

Constructive Comments: Honestly, I have no negatives or suggestions. This artist has their own vision and held true to it. This is not my go to Genre, but if it was, I’d be all over this. Great job.

Broadjam Artist: Marilyn Hall
Song: Salvation Army Man

Reviewer: Cody Lee/Johnny & The Whatnots

Positive Comments: Great narrative flow. I like the words throughout the entire song. This is a great old-school story about an interesting person, or an interesting life.Everyone plays real well and within the constraints of the genre. The vocal is perfect for the song and the gentle feel of the music, allows for the story to shine through.A true folk song.

Constructive Comments: Perhaps, and these kind of comments are always subjective, the arrangement could’ve had more of the build from beginning to the end.Feels like everything is in from the beginning, and the sound never really changes.I don’t know if the shine affect in the background Serves the style of music to my taste. I would’ve liked more of the acoustic guitar and the piano.Very good song. Very good recording.

Song: You’ll Survive

Reviewer: Cody Lee/Johnny & The Whatnots

Positive Comments: Well-crafted song, played, arranged and sung excellently. Vocal works great with the track. Dobro is a nice touch. Chorus is suitably catchy.

Constructive Comments: I struggle all the time with keeping my lyrics thematically tight Lots of great lines and images. But, and this is strictly subjective, I felt the lyrics kinda touched to many areas. I could be wrong, but that was my thinking. With the opening line, I was expecting more of a story vibe. But, still a very good song & track.
