Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: Boomerang
Reviewer: Systole
Positive Comments: The guitar/(banjo?) work is excellent. Good melodies there. I also think the vocal melody/hook is solid. This is a song that could possibly do well for a certain market, but I’m no expert on that. The quality of the recording is also top-notch.
Constructive Comments: I didn’t like the lyrics. Seemed a bit cheesy to me, though I will say that most country-style lyrics seem cheesy to me, so that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The singing is a little problematic IMO because the voice sounds pretty old/worn. Again, though, that isn’t necessarily a problem. Depends on the listener. Still, I have to say that overall the song sounds a bit trite, as in it’s really been done before, done to death, and done better. It needs spruced up somehow…if you want to write this kind of music it needs something special added in there to make it really work, even if it’s just a really nice electric guitar solo.
