Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: Bathing Beauties

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Another really cool song Jeff!! Some wonderful images in the lyric, and you really sing it nicely!! Harmonies and arrangement are nice. I hear a little Jimmy Buffett in this….and I love Buffett!!

Constructive Comments: It works just right for me the way it is!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Warren Hein
Song: I’m Taking Care of Me (piano/vocal)

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Another home run (or grand slam) Warren!! Just love the concept of the song, and you deliver it soooooo well!! Another gem my friend!!

Constructive Comments: I wouldn’t mind hearing a different singer do this, although she is good! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Sunday In The Summer

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: This is a really pretty song!! Really nice feel with the vocal harmonies! I hear so many good influences…..Simon and Garfunkel, the Beatles, Mamas and Papas…..many of my favorites. Really love this!!

Constructive Comments: I thought the vocals were a little pitchy, but I think the problem is that it was not easy to hear the change from the major to the minor chord (to which the melody works perfectly). The recording/mix could be improved somewhat. AWESOME SONG!!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: N.Jones, Protilius Productions
Song: A return to primal (2011 Rage)

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: What an epic sound!!! BIIIIIIIG guitars, dynamic arrangement. Going to the strings from the heavy industrial feel works REALLY well!! THis should be used in film! AWESOME!!!

Constructive Comments: PERFECT the way it is!!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: HAWC
Song: CRY

Reviewer: Ladee V

Positive Comments: Nice lyrics and vocals. Originality and recording was good. Overall nice job.

Constructive Comments: I thought the intro was too long, the track itself was very long. I couldn’t understand the background vocals after the intro. It wasn’t until the verse started that I could make out words.

Broadjam Artist: Greg Johnson
Song: When My Baby Sings

Reviewer: Caleb Bundrick

Positive Comments: The vocals are beautifully done. The lyrics are well composed and paint a vivid picture. The piano work compliments the vocalist perfectly, and the light violin is very pleasant to listen to. I would compare this artist to tracy lawrence. Very nice piece and the recording quality is exceptional.

Constructive Comments: There isn’t much to say constructively. The vocals are in key and well thought out and the instrumentation is exactly what this piece needs. The concept isn’t really unique, but I could see this being a very popular country song.

Broadjam Artist: D.j.G-Low
Song: Oh!

Reviewer: Ladee V

Positive Comments: Sweet track. Can’t wait to hear an artist on it! Good job!

Constructive Comments: Nothing here. The instrumental sounds very nice.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: A Tap At My Door / R&B

Reviewer: Ladee V

Positive Comments: Nice playing. Would probably sound better as a Latin instrumental with just a few more additions.

Constructive Comments: Definitely not R&B. I would probably reclassify to Latin, Pop, or Unique.

Broadjam Artist: Ladee V

Constructive Comments: Really good song. Best of luck with it.
