Broadjam Artist: Jeana Potthoff
Song: Restless

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: This is really beautiful!! Reminds me of George Winston years ago…really emotionally evocative, somewhat haunting music. Would work great for a film I think. I LOVE IT!!!!

Constructive Comments: I would not change anything. This is a beautiful piece that stands well as a solo piano tune. If you were to add anything, I would go strings, possibly a solo cello. This is great!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Barry Osbourn
Song: Frontier Justice

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Really cool song!!! Sounds like soundtrack music to me….maybe like a bounty hunter pursuing a killer through the desert in a cowboy flick. Instrumentation, production, and mix all sound really good!

Constructive Comments: I would consider varying the arrangement more…..really stripping it down, maybe just to a guitar (almost like at the end) and building up again. Could also consider deviating into a secondary theme at some point. REALLY, REALLY cool tune!!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Steve Dafoe – Songwriter
Song: Desert Sun (Acoustic Southern Rock)

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: This is a really cool song!! The melody and groove really keep the listener engaged! There are some really nice images, and the desert sun works very well as a central theme as a metaphor for the singer’s love. REALLY like this song!!

Constructive Comments: The guitar sounds pretty well played but the mix is a bit boomy. The vocal also sounds well performed but not recorded or mixed exactly right, hard to tell which. I think the arrangement could build with other instruments coming in (percussion? mandolin? fiddle?). It is a really nice song but I think the presentation could be better. Nice job Steve!! Take care. Greg
