Song: I Will Stand (Male Vocal)

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: I really like this!! It’s great to hear something that is sincere and patriotic, particularly at this moment in our history. The music has that just right anthemic quality, and the singer delivers an A-Plus vocal!! Love the instrumentation/arrangement. This is really a quality production all the way!!

Constructive Comments: Nothing I would add, nothing I would take away, nothing I would change! BEAUTIFUL!!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Back To You NEW MIX HOT

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Really cool song!! Love the feel of the tune, and the arrangement. It has this early Doobie Bros vibe that I love! The vocalist has a great tone, and the musicianship sounds tops to me. Really enjoyed this!!

Constructive Comments: Because the lyrics are sung pretty quickly, it is a bit hard to keep up with them without reading. However, the song is just so pleasant that it is worth more listens to discern all the words, which are creatively written and catchy! Nice job!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Donovan Tucker
Song: Can We Love Again (feat Julia Schmidt)

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: This is a really nice song!! The lyric is strong, and deep, and the singer sings the song with a lot of conviction. The arrangement is just right, and the musicianship is excellent. Really great stuff!!

Constructive Comments: My only complaint is the mix on the vocal. The voice is really pretty but doesn’t come through as clearly as it should…… a few lyrics are a little muddled, I think because the EQ in the range that really picks up the consonants is a little too low. Really nice song!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Chicken in the Pan

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: THis is really FUN, and CLEVER!! All the lyrics are great but the end is especially humorous. The melody, arrangement and vocal all work great for the mood and content of the song. GREAT STUFF!!!

Constructive Comments: The only “complaint” is the vocal seems not quite as crisp and clear as it could be, but the vocalist is perfect. AWESOME STUFF!! Take care. Greg
