Broadjam Artist: Charlie Shock
Song: THE WAY LIFE GOES

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Great song! The recording and sound of the instruments is spectacular and the vocal fits perfectly. If you’d ever say a song was half-Country, half-Jimmy Buffett this would be it. Outstanding!

Constructive Comments: The staccato organ in the first 20 seconds kind of jumped out as odd to me, but it fits once everything gets going. Nice work.

Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: hope for the aliens

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: This song really sets a tone, from the intentionally-sparse opening that grabs your attention. I could hear this in the background of a TV/film soundtrack. The wailing voices in the background add a nice texture, too.

Constructive Comments: Would love to hear this re-mixed with a more robust bass sound. Once the guitar comes in it’s way ahead of the bass which kind of fuzzes out. But a very good song!

Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: L.O.V.E-MAIL ME, BABY (featuring Billy Arr)

Reviewer: Keith Taylor

Positive Comments: I love the 60’s feel with a modern subject. Awesome!

Constructive Comments: Give this song to a crooner. It would do well.

Broadjam Artist: Highsmyth
Song: Koyote Call

Reviewer: Keith Taylor

Positive Comments: Interesting instrumental. A good start.

Constructive Comments: This song starts off and it sounds like an old radio which I really like. Once the other instruments joined in I wanted it to kick it up like a full blown step up. Instead it was gradual. Listen to Colin James “I just came back”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NetqMq8e31k THis is the effect I thought you were going for. I hope you write some lyrics for it.

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Country Christians

Reviewer: Keith Taylor

Constructive Comments: I think some of the lyrics are a little force. Rhyming just to rhyme.
