Song: Woodstock Nation ft. Larry Folk, Acoustic Version

Reviewer: Delta Burnett Reed

Positive Comments: I liked your storyline… Had to listen through the second time to catch all the words….I know there was a message here but a little hard to hear all the words. Sometimes you don’t need to hear words because of the timber of the voice which you have…so you can just enjoy the sound, I would love to hear all your words..for what I could discern it took me back to the early years of my marriage…

Constructive Comments: Where you talking about Woodstock the festival? I really like your voice and hope I am right about your story line…Please let me know and I did like the overall sound….I am dying to find out who your are…..wishing you the best with this.

Reviewer: The Noted

Positive Comments: Nice flow that set ups the mood of the song properly.Got me in the right mental space for hearing what you had to say immediately.Liked the lyrics started pretty quicklySounds like David Crosby, poetic simple phrasing of the lyrics was nice* see beloweasy to understand the lyricsnice visuals thru out and a pleasant journey for chilling music

Constructive Comments: *connect the thoughts too ofter a single thought was broken by a space hard to emotionally connect.strings might have been too much, especially the higher oneslet more emotion out, sing from the heart not the headwould have been nice to contrast the AG feel, maybe strumming for a sectionseemed a bit long, to be honest.I always want to love a new song and these are just my singular person thoughts keep on folkin’

Song: Sixteen Tons

Reviewer: Ian Graham

Positive Comments: Syncopated percussion leads into the surprise: a bright, steady take on the Merle Travis classic Sixteen Tons. Sung with a jazzy warmth – and, rather unusually, by a woman, it works well. An original, worthwhile version that deserves some airplay.

Constructive Comments: Well separated across the channels. Expressive, accurately pitched vocal. Good, discreet backing. Occasionally a bit too much reverb on the voice for my tastes – but that’s just my tastes. The only jarring moment: the join at 01:56. All in all, a good choice, warmly performed and well recorded. Good luck with it.

Song: HOW DID YOU KNOW?

Reviewer: Randall Mark

Positive Comments: Nice easy, flowing live song. The lyrics work very well to add to the romance in the song. I like the guitar chords and progressions. The singing and performances are well done and add to the light, cheerful mood of the piece. Great idea for a title, which then opens up the lyrics to go in lots of directions, asking the question “how did you know” and then expanding on the different little things, that works well!

Constructive Comments: I marked down for arrangement and instrumentation because I was a bit dissapointrf in those. I did not care for the constant drum and click drum and click throughout the song Although it gave it a nice rhythm and kept the the beat nicely of the song I think it was at the expense of taking away the organic Ness that the song could’ve used more of. It made it sound to synthetic and I think the song would’ve been more powerful if I could’ve heard the guitar chords cleanly it made it sound to synthetic and I think the song would’ve been more powerful if I could’ve heard the guitar chords cleanly. That is just my preference or my idea for what it is worth I also don’t care for the harmonica sound used. And in the middle of the song there was the introduction of a very strange low pitched baasy sound that I dint know what was. I like the idea of adding different instruments to the verses so they don’t sound repetitious but that particular instrument was odd. Overall very nice song!!

Song: MY FRIEND (featuring Debi Champion)

Reviewer: Third Word

Positive Comments: Nice rhythmic funk

Constructive Comments: Needs a stronger mix, and stronger bass line.

Broadjam Artist: Bob Birthisel
Song: Powerful Anthemic Rock – INSTRUMENTAL EDIT

Reviewer: The Noted

Positive Comments: I like the song kicks in full throttle confident and bold. Felt like the kind of tune you can crank up and it holds together sonically. nice then on the snare and lead guitar parts. Sound like a type style song and groove. Made me stoked to hear a good, punchy song. I liked what you did all in all well done.

Constructive Comments: Being picky here so bear with me all said with the intent to help, and is just my opinion nothing more.Would have liked the solo lead guitar to kick in a lot earlier.More stereo separation on guitar partsOverall the track felt low mid heavyWould have like to hear more distinction EQ wise on the EG partsKicks felt overwhelmed by the bassand lastly, didn’t feel there was a melody that I could identity, enjoy hearing a few times?
