Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: It Happens So Fast /Country Cowboy

Reviewer: Ladee V

Positive Comments: I think once you fix the issues with the instrumentation it will make for a wonderful alternative or contemporary song.

Constructive Comments: Right round the :11 – :14 it sounded off, then around :21 the beat (or some of the instruments)sort of dropped and the transition of bringing the instruments back in could have been a bit smoother. Also around the 2:10 mark the instruments were off key. I also wouldn’t probably classify this as a country tune as it sounds more alternative or contemporary to me.

Broadjam Artist: Ladee V
Song: Enjoy Life

Reviewer: Janet Murphy

Positive Comments: Voice is good and background vocals are exceptional!!

Constructive Comments: Cowbell is distracting for me

Broadjam Artist: Bobby Caputo
Song: If You’re Leavin’, Say Goodbye (Brandmeier/Caputo)

Reviewer: Janet Murphy

Positive Comments: Voice is perfect, just beautiful

Constructive Comments: Would like guitar to be a little more complex. Between that and drum machine it’s a little choppy sounding for me

Broadjam Artist: Donovan Tucker
Song: You Say It Better

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Very soulful piece with really good arrangement and production.

Constructive Comments: Nice song.

Broadjam Artist: RICARDO ALONSO
Song: Obertura Para Un Sentimiento (Overture For A Feeling)

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Really nice piece that is really easy on the ears. Great mingling of strings and keyboards.

Constructive Comments: Knowing how hard it is to sell anything, I seldom give a good rating for market potential, but this song would fit so well into a show or movie dealing with romance or coming of age, or any number of other opportunities, that it deserves one.

Broadjam Artist: English Mike
Song: Different Sides Of The Tracks

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Cool tune with great instrumentation which really helps keep it together nicely. Interesting lyrics and theme.

Constructive Comments: Nice work.

Broadjam Artist: Mark Tha Shark
Song: UNCON BLUE (inst. w/ sax)

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Smooth sounding piece with interesting mix of instruments and some intriguing chord changes. This would sound cool in the background of some TV shows or movies, particularly something melancholy.

Constructive Comments: Nice piece.

Broadjam Artist: RICARDO ALONSO
Song: Kani Kani Wairua

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Very pleasant sounding piece with a very nice mix of instruments. This could be very useful for background music for many projects.

Constructive Comments: Really pleasantly flowing piece.

Broadjam Artist: Barry Osbourn
Song: To Overcome

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Nice intro. Lovely musicianship. Nice mix. Everything works together well. Pleasant to listen to. Great production. Good hook. The players definitely all know what they are doing!

Constructive Comments: I don’t think the song needs to be this long. But hey, you’re having fun playing it…who am I to cut it short?Seriously, though, to make it more commercial (if that is what you want) cut it in half. You probably don’t want to hear that, so you can ignore it- ha ha.

Broadjam Artist: David James
Song: Never Coming Back

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Here’s a poem that’s been made it into a song. It’s a lament about love lost. Rather abstract with powerful guitar playing. Vocal is powerful and convincing.

Constructive Comments: I’d like to hear a clearer story that is easier to follow, but that is just my personal preference.
