Broadjam Artist: Smokin Joe Pilloud
Song: Blink of an Eye

Reviewer: TOM HENRY

Positive Comments: has sort of JJ Cale feel. It has a cool feel

Constructive Comments: I think the only thing is the vocal phrasing could use a bit of tightening up… a couple things seemed like it was slightly out of meter or could be ahead of the beat perhaps a bit more… overall a nice vocal and feel… the sax was cool too

Broadjam Artist: amy abernathy
Song: Dirt on My Shirt

Reviewer: TOM HENRY

Positive Comments: had sort of a Steve Miller Lynard Skynard type feel… southern feel made it comfortable like you have heard it before

Constructive Comments: nice overall

Broadjam Artist: Barry Osbourn
Song: Payback (instrumental)

Reviewer: TOM HENRY

Positive Comments: sort a ZZtop type guitar rhythm. the Dobro type licks were cool too

Constructive Comments: as an instrumental it works fine… would vocals be good? I think it may help wider appeal to release it with or without vocals

Broadjam Artist: Greg Johnson
Song: My Heart

Reviewer: TOM HENRY

Positive Comments: Fits in the Eagles type market… vocals sound a little close to Don Henley phrasing…it has a familiar sound to it

Constructive Comments: I like the recording and harmonies were good

Broadjam Artist: Distorted Waves
Song: Life After Death

Reviewer: TOM HENRY

Positive Comments: very grungy guitars… a dark moody song. like the vocals very Soundgarden Pearl Jammish sounding

Constructive Comments: it fits the grunge market

Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat
Song: GONNA BE ON TIME!

Reviewer: TOM HENRY

Positive Comments: The recording is not bad

Constructive Comments: I am not sure if the timing of some of the parts is intended but it sounded like it fell out of meter throughout… I think a recording with everything in timing would help present the song … I am guessing the drums were dropped in after that seemed the most out to me

Broadjam Artist: Doug Mayberry
Song: Forgive Myself

Reviewer: TOM HENRY

Positive Comments: The guitar parts were nicely played… Vocals reminded sort of a Gordon Lightfoot type approach… nicely done overall

Constructive Comments: I think it fits the religious market just fine

Broadjam Artist: Distorted Waves
Song: Life After Death

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey

Positive Comments: All I can say is very interesting for sure!!! The vocal sounds like the singer from Match Box 20…think that’s the name of the group?? It’s a little difficult to understand all the lyrics, need to have the lead vocal a tad bit louder & clearer! The music is very unique, but maybe a tad all over the place?? That’s just my ear….I’m an old guy, so this genre of music is perhaps Over-my-Head and out of my league!!It still is extremely COOL though!!!! And I’m sure there is a Market for it!! Best of luck with this composition!!

Constructive Comments: Maybe just have the lead vocal up a tad and clearer!! Still a Neat song!!!

Broadjam Artist: Doug Mayberry
Song: Forgive Myself

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey

Positive Comments: It’s O.K…….The Music has merit! I always have such a difficult time with Religiously Themed Music, I think it’s because I have a harder time with Religion in general! I am probably the absolute worst individual to be reviewing this kind of song…I am so sorry, that I must be so direct with my opinion! In defense of this tune, there are probably Broad Jam Members, that are going to Love this song!! Best of luck with this composition….I mean that sincerely!!!

Constructive Comments: I believe that I have said more than enough regarding this composition!! Again, best of luck with this song!!!
