Broadjam Artist: Toni Fournier
Song: Love To Be In Love

Reviewer: Bill Gaunce

Positive Comments: Loved the sound of the instrumentation and overall “dark” vibe of this track! I can absolutely hear this in the right kind of scene in an indie movie

Constructive Comments: The use of a lot of reverb works in this song, but there is a bit too much reverb (or maybe too large of a room setting) and it mushes up the mix a little bit and makes the vocals a bit hard to decipher at times.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Change Is Comin’- NEW SAX

Reviewer: Bill Gaunce

Positive Comments: Love this track! Love the lyrics and arrangement.

Constructive Comments: I gave 4 stars for market potential only because there doesn’t seem to be a big market for any blues material regardless of how good it is. I gave 5 stars for recording even though I thought the vocal was a little too bright and piercing and could stand to be “warmed up” a little, especially considering the genre. I realize that’s a pretty subjective thing though 🙂

Broadjam Artist: Doug Mayberry
Song: Another Way

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: nice pace and peppy tune for a religious piece.

Constructive Comments: well intentioned for sure, but i’d like to hear some more imaginative lyrics. might consider another singer, we don’t hear a definitive hook/title until well into the song, a bit late IMO, so we can remember it more maybe bring another way in earlier….

Broadjam Artist: Greg Johnson
Song: When My Baby Sings

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: nice lyrical content, adequate vocal for the song. good writing structure! piano well played, and again the lyrics have many moments of wonderful-ness….i don’t give these high marks often, so well done!

Constructive Comments: not much. i MIGHT consider another version with a different singer, but this is really just fine…well done overall, though i’d pound and try to expand upon the TITLE/HOOK, so we can remember it!

Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: ICE MARCH (instrumental)

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: I like the movement of this instrumental, good variety of instrumentation. well conceived ideas. lots of variety after a solitary opening. overall well done.

Constructive Comments: most of the programmed instruments, especially the perc were well done, though the solo “instrument” at the beginning was very hard to identify and sounded way too unreal whatever it was…though most of the other “instruments” were well chosen.

Broadjam Artist: David Watson
Song: That’s What I Call Livin’

Reviewer: Warren Hein

Positive Comments: nice production, good generic lyrics that work, nice grove, qualifies as country to me! good writing structure. overall well done.

Constructive Comments: torn between hook/title That’s what i call livin or That’s alright (which was predominant early on…but minor detail yet important. i like the writing allot, good structure. well done overall.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Both Barrels Atcha / Heavy Metal

Reviewer: Caleb Bundrick

Positive Comments: Good recording quality, drums come through very clear. Could be a good driving song, reminds me of the band Pelican.

Constructive Comments: Some of the guitar work is sloppy, especially at the intro. The song itself is not very intricate. The song lacks a good bass line. The drum loop does not vary enough to carry the listener through the song. The flanger is pretty strong on the guitar part.
