Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: CHRISTMAS IN NEW YORK (featuring Ray Dahrouge)

Reviewer: Jay Gross

Positive Comments: Really nice Christmas Song. Being from New York it hits very close to home! The lyric is very descriptive and pertinent, the vocals are strong but I could see a gravely voice make it even better. The instrumentation is spot on and the potential for a yearly Christmas theme is pretty high. Certainly has potential in a New York based romantic film based in a Christmas time.

Constructive Comments: Very nice song really loved it. Not much input I can give to improve outside of my comment about the vocals. I’d be surprised if I don’t hear this in a Christmas time movie in the future. Good work!

Song: Why Did I Lose You/vocal Isaak James

Reviewer: Jay Gross

Positive Comments: Really enjoy listening to this song. I know I have heard it before. The lyrics are very potent, the instrumentation is haunting, the vocals are powerful and honest showing the emotion of the lyric. I truly enjoy the whole production sounds like a Bond theme!

Constructive Comments: Nothing constructive I can say about this as I think it is ready for prime time. Certainly could see it as the Theme song of a movie. Great job, great song!

Broadjam Artist: Marc S. Pate
Song: Rollin’ In Your Arms

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Very pleasant song – All the instruments were balanced well and played together fluidly. I immediately wondered why it was in the Blues Rock category, as it should be listed as a Boogie, but then realized that category doesn’t exist so you had to pick the closest thing.

Constructive Comments: For my taste the vocal was about 2-3db back in the mix and should be slightly more forward, but overall well done.

Song: 36. Gold In Memphis

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: What a nice song. The vibe is consistent, excellent storytelling, and a very original sound. I also like the change in dynamics at the beginning, and the drum sound in particular outstanding. While this is Country Rock it also fits crossover Pop Rock. I like the fact that the hook is subtle but still memorable. Great job!

Constructive Comments: The instrument fade on the last note seemed a little abrupt, but this song is so good it’s not a complaint.
