Broadjam Artist: Bob Birthisel
Song: Leave Ohio Behind
Reviewer: Kate Carpenter
Positive Comments: Honestly, if Ohio has a songwriter like this, they ought to stop him at the border and not let him leave their state. This is a well-crafted, crazy-fun-catchy song that really rang my chimes. The chorus is one of the best hooks I’ve heard on Broadjam for a long time. I love the way he goes up on Senorita. Fantastic band performance, love the leads and breaks. This song definitely has commercial appeal, but all that aside, it’s just a great, singable, danceable terrific song. Bravo times five!
Constructive Comments: I wish you had a different last verse, something more conclusive. Not that the repeat wasn’t great…it could just be greater. The instrumental, great as it is, could be shorter. Keep the gritty guitar section and eliminate the milder one. I didn’t miss your not having a bridge. But some Nashville people might look for one.But truly, just keep it as it is. I like it like that!Mrs. Kate
