Broadjam Artist: Donovan Tucker
Song: When Love Prevails (Lambert/Tucker)

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: This is really a gem!! Probably my favorite I’ve heard of yours Greg!! Lyrics are wonderful, and the vocal is excellent! Love the way the drum beat drives the song! Love everything about this song!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Constructive Comments: This is strictly a matter of taste, but I would make the echo a bit more prominent, the vocal a little wetter (WHAT A VOCAL!!). To me, the spiritual nature of the song creates a Peter Gabriel kind of vibe. I could hear pads, and a drum that was more theatrical (same driving rhythm though). It just hits me that way. That said, I love the way you guys put it together. AWESOME!!!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: I Get The Bird

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Hi Art, I’m back! This song is a hoot!!! Plain and simple!! What a clever idea. And the other objects to be divided are so well thought up. In a word, BRILLIANT!!!

Constructive Comments: To me, the recording/mix is good but not great. BUT, with a song like this, I’m not sure this matters much. THis gave me the laugh that I so desperately needed at the end of the afternoon! I’m going to go have a beer now Art. Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Bob Bentley
Song: Days Of Mystery – Country Mix

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: THere is a lot to like here, for sure!! The arrangement/musicianship are very good quality, and the vocal is strong and passionate. The interplay of the instruments is really nice. There are some lovely images in the lyrics. Harmonies are wonderful!

Constructive Comments: As much as I love the song (and I do), I’m sort of half way there with the hook line/title (days of mystery). It works, but I just wonder if something might work better? I really like the concept of “days of innocence” or something similar but that screws a lot with the rhyme scheme, etc. It is a BEAUTIFUL song!! Congrats! Take care. Greg
