Song: I Put Your Picture Away

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: Back To Yesterday (Instrumental)

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Guitar work is beautiful…the playing, recording, and processing!! The music is really lovely. Mandolin and guitar play off each other so well. Reminds me of some of my favorite guitar players from the 70’s. Love it!!

Constructive Comments: The only thing that may be possible to improve it would be to diversify the instruments. I don’t believe there is any bass? Maybe a fiddle part? What is here is BEAUTIFUL!! If you wanted to broaden it out, you could add something but that is just an artistic question. Great job!! Take care. Greg

Song: I Know How to LIE

Reviewer: Doug Mayberry

Positive Comments: Very unique voice. I really liked it. Great song, and very true. Very much control to your voice, as well.

Constructive Comments: Too short. When I hear something I like, I usually want to hear it for a while. I wish there was one more verse. But great job. Great voice.

Song: Down Home

Reviewer: Doug Mayberry

Positive Comments: Great song. Depicts a country atmosphere, to a tee. I loved it. Lazy crazy day.

Constructive Comments: Just one thing, the verses were a little monotonous. Maybe put a little more movement to the lyrics, I don’t know. It was a really great song, though.

Broadjam Artist: Steve Dafoe – Songwriter
Song: Alone On Valentines Day Again (Pop-Adult Contemporary, Folk)

Reviewer: Doug Mayberry

Positive Comments: What a very sad song. I guess it’s probably pretty true for everyone, at times. Very poignant and heart felt. You just really feel for the singer. Nicely done.

Constructive Comments: Maybe change it up, a bit between the verses. That way we won’t know what’s coming up. Just a suggestion. Other than that, very nice song.

Positive Comments: Awesome song. I loved your vocal style and sound. Kind of Dixie Chicks sound. Great job, and unique topic.

Constructive Comments: Even though I know it’s a ballad, maybe speed it up just a little. Not too much. That’s all I have for a critique.
