Reviewer: Lawrence K. Bodien

Positive Comments: Lord this is a great place. A modern Hank Williams, not much of a human, of coarse there ain’t been much to look at, but he knew how to touch each, and every one of us. Your piece did that. MORE, nothing else to say.

Constructive Comments: Honky-tonk will return with a vengeance, your piece, I would like to surround my life with it. It is not, lay down and go to sleep. Jerry Douglas step aside!lkb

Positive Comments: Yeh, might not know what is though.

Constructive Comments: It is a great song, but rhythmic ideas would totally set it apart. With the right rhythm EVERY BODY in the WORLD will be playing this song. And loving it. Just got to look for it. Kudoslkb

Positive Comments: I do not rate things this way. You have another “Whiskey River”, off coarse my buddy’s at Broadjam will be inordinately interested, classics are just that. Wow! You have a baby,can you put her where she belongs. Your voice is perfect, do a harmony, and get Allison to cover it with you! Nothing like 2 “Whiskey Rivers” Thanks to you, and, sorry to say, Broadjam.lkb

Constructive Comments: Com’on man, I already did that.

Broadjam Artist: StarburstRecords
Song: B 14. Empty Pockets ft Bobby Sahlen

Reviewer: Lawrence K. Bodien

Positive Comments: America, and I are jaded. I’m sorry I believe a music reviewer would have dumped you long before I did. There has to be art, in the music, or the lyrics, and it must, either one, stand out. Saddley, you must be better then the best. lkb

Constructive Comments: Your intro! Do you listen to your own music? That whistle, or whatever it is, has to be from hell. I did the same things with my software, until I listened to it. Regurgitation time! You must have a good sound, all the way, especially with country. As one music reviewer told me, ‘it is a very competitive world out there’. Again, you Must be better then the best.

Broadjam Artist: Jimmie Lee
Song: Windy (Love In Her Eyes)

Reviewer: David James

Positive Comments: The song is a bold statement. It’s powerful from the first second. Great lyric idea. The instrumentation is spot on. The vocalist delivers the song with passion. The arrangement is excellent. Superb sound quality. Although the arrangement is totally different, the song brought to mind Talking Heads.

Constructive Comments: I listened to the song a few times. On first listening I thought the song needed a softer, more melodic section to provide some light and shade, but on subsequent listening I realised that the full on sound really worked. It’s a very strong piece of work.

Song: ALL OF ME

Reviewer: StarburstRecords

Positive Comments: Fabulous! I dig your vocal delivery, especially on my fav genre, the “Standards”. The sax accompaniment blows me away. Your production quality is impeccable. I want MORE of this! Very best wishes for your continued success in music.

Constructive Comments: How can one improve upon perfection? Its simply not possible! Spectacular not and best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: Delta Burnett Reed
Song: Slow Hand Remix

Reviewer: Jay Gross

Positive Comments: Really wish I didn’t get this song. Hrd to judge a cover. The song stands on its own merit now whats left is the vocals the instramentation etc….

Constructive Comments: I wish I could be kinf=der here but I think you would prefer honesty. It is very hard to do a cover and not kill it because you are then judged on the existing version. The vocals just don’t come close here. Not that you can’t sing but nit anywhere near the original. The arrangement actually sounds like a Karioke recording which most likely makes it difficult to sing the crap out of it. When signing a cover be sure to put some strong emotion into it, feel the lyrics, don’t be so strightm=forward and make it your own! Sorry!
