Reviewer: amy abernathy

Positive Comments: This was a nice 90’s style country with a nice use of the various instruments. Would love to hear the lyrics.

Constructive Comments: I would say a little variation in the end would be nice, but well done.

Broadjam Artist: Donovan Tucker
Song: Hiding In The Dark (Tucker/Lambert))

Reviewer: Charlie Shock

Positive Comments: This is a straight ahead pop song that makes its point clear and doesn’t waver! The lead vocal suits the song well and the instrumentation (even though it is programmed) represents the song well without “getting in the way”!!!

Constructive Comments: I would love to hear this song with a full production (ie live band and top notch producer) as i think it would really shine but who has that kind of budget- lol. Very best of wishes! (Charlie Shock)

Song: Rooster

Reviewer: Jay Gross

Positive Comments: Very difficult for me to judge this song. I do not listen Lyrics seem to fit the Genre and are well written. The message really not my cup of tea but it is a fun song with an up melody and the vocals are certainly above average. I think the Hook could be stronger took a while for me to figure out the Title. But overall a little above average for me.

Constructive Comments: I would have some changes in the pace of the song stronger hook more repetitive. While the vocals were very good the music kind of drowned out the vocals a bit, but that could be my earbuds. Again not my first or second choice of song style but sounded decent enough.

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Great groove…….grabs the listener right off the bat!! Excellent recording/production/musicianship!! Love the lead guitar!!!

Constructive Comments: Really great stuff! I think it could be cool to put a mellow part in the middle….a stripped down part for contrast. Love it!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic
Song: Walk in the Park

Reviewer: Barry Osbourn

Positive Comments: Great song, I really liked it, great performances and has a nice melody for an instrumental, nice breaks and good arrangement. Has a kinda holiday feel to it almost.

Constructive Comments: nothing, don’t change a thing.

Broadjam Artist: Donovan Tucker
Song: Down To The Bone (w/ Dianne MacAdam)

Reviewer: Barry Osbourn

Positive Comments: Great song , great performances by all. very sincere. good lyrics

Constructive Comments: Theres something odd with the recording going on, the vocal sounds like its distorting on the choruses, like its shaking or vibrating or something, and theres a buzz at the very beginning. I think you better go back and remix this and make sure its not overloading. Its a great song I thin it would be worth the time.

Broadjam Artist: Susan Nikas
Song: Mattie Groves

Reviewer: Barry Osbourn

Positive Comments: Nice job, well played, good vocals, good story telling, has a great old time feel should do well.

Constructive Comments: The only thing I could think of is that with the strong rhythm that the song has it might be more powerful if you added some brushed snare and a kick. a nice little train beat.
