Broadjam Artist: TOM HENRY
Song: Deepest Garden

Reviewer: David James

Positive Comments: I like the immediate impact of the intro. Good to have all the instruments in at the beginning with an anthemic song like this. Really nice guitar arrangement. Lovely change at 0.28. Great guitar solo. I like the pull back at 2.06 with the acoustic guitar coming through. Strong vocal performance. Solid rhythm section. Unusual ending, but it works. The lyrics are obscure and ambiguous, which I like possibly because I use obscure and ambiguous lyrics too. Nicely recorded.

Constructive Comments: I really like the song. It’s really catchy and engaging. The only reason I’ve marked down the market potential and the originality of the song is because old school rock music such as this has become a niche in the current market. Out and out rock music just isn’t hitting the charts and getting radio play these days which is a shame. Still I’m sure this song would go down a storm in a live setting.

Broadjam Artist: Ladee V

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Shaky Jake & The Bone Twist Girl / Rock & Roll

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Nice vibe in this one!! Very happy, upbeat feel….something I could imagine Jimmy Buffett writing a lyric for. It sounds like a song that should have a lyric more than an instrumental. Nice changes and playing throughout!

Constructive Comments: Some compression could tame the guitar a bit. I think you should put lyrics/vocal on this…it’s nice music!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: William Smith
Song: Teach Me How To Love You

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Really cool song!! Great energy and vibe! Cool lyrics! Playing sounds great! Vocal tone is nice!

Constructive Comments: I feel like the vocalist could become more comfortable with the song. THe vocal processing is probably a bit overdone. Very cool song!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat
Song: TRAIN ON THE TRACK

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: This has a great vibe to it!! Very cool live feel, nice groove, and a really authentic vocal feel!!It is a fresh and fun listen!!

Constructive Comments: I think the mix could be tighter. The beat also gets slightly off at times. Might be worth using a click track to tighten it up. The live feel is really cool but it could be a bit tighter. Nice stuff !! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Peter G Olach – PGO
Song: (collab) EZ PGOlach/Messina

Reviewer: Bill Dake

Positive Comments: Like this vocalist and the nice feel of this tune.

Constructive Comments: This tune has some nice changes and there’s a lot of potential here. You might want to think about re-mixing. The color tones are missing, low/mids that would define the chords better. Bring out the bass more and separate the instrumental voices in the sound field. Listening in mono is a good way to hear if the everything is being heard. Maybe expand the lyrics more…..what to do to take it easy, what’s happening that might require us to take it easy?….that kinda thing.Hope to hear more from you…
