Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Really sound and intricate guitar work and just an overall very nice feel and flow to this piece. Sounds like something that would work great in a movie scene. Harmonica supplies a very nice touch.

Constructive Comments: Good solid work!

Reviewer: James Hamilton

Positive Comments: Anything like that…very good lyric and story. Different which made it good. Lead vocal excellent as well as the background vocals as well You painted a lyrical picture for me when describing her. Well done!! The track was good overall with great guitar. Keep it going!!

Constructive Comments: Nothing bad to say. I didn’t really understand the lyric repeat towards the end. It worked but with this great song maybe some different lyrics to bring it home about her would kick it home very well. Loved it!!

Broadjam Artist: Third Word
Song: Two Wings

Reviewer: James Hamilton

Positive Comments: wow..Loved it..loved it!! The overall production and arrangement was very well done. The lead vocal very well done..pitch..intonation well done. Background vocals as well. The hook was set up very well and I couldn’t wait to hear it again. I really like how you tagged it after the guitar solo. Good length for the song as well. Well done!

Constructive Comments: Picky hear but a few spots in the mix the bass was kinda loud. Maybe thats how you wanted it but it took me a way from listening a bit. Loved the lyrics as well.. very well written I can still sing the melody and the hook and thats what it is all about. Keep up the good work!

Song: You’ve Made Your Choice (Whatever Happened) -Phil Jaymes Flowers

Reviewer: James Hamilton

Positive Comments: Man..I really like this song. The lead vocal is excellent. The overall production was well done. Sounds like some Manhattans or Dells maybe. The background vocals were good as well A nice slow jam reminder. Lead vocal was right there steady and pitch was good. Good job!

Constructive Comments: I am being picky here but when the background vocals came in during the first verse I felt like they were in the way. Not necessary there. Also the hook had got to be stronger. Good lyrical idea but something was missing there for me. Good job though.

Positive Comments: Love it love it! it has a real good feel all the way through it. Guitar playing is well done as well as the saxophone. The strings were well placed. I like the introduction before the instruments. .It worked out well. Overall I would say a great job and keep up the good work. I also liked the bridge after the second chorus. Well done!

Constructive Comments: I have nothing negative to say. Maybe a littlebit to much Najee..but thats not a bad thing. Loved it!!

Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: WOULDN’T LIFE BE EASY?

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: This almost reminds me of Joe Walsh, and I think re-categorizing it in Folk is closer to the lyrics and feel than “Easy Listening”. There’s a nice storyteller vibe to it, and it was a good solid listen for sure.

Constructive Comments: The instruments could certainly have been tighter, but it doesn’t matter that much because it’s all about the message. I’d also like to hear the bass more – it’s really buried in the mix.

Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic
Song: Kessel Run

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: This song starts off with a moderate-speed but relentless groove, and has a sound you could easily hear in a film/TV scene. Really nice use of effects on the guitars and pedals. LOVE that! Later the vocals come in with a psychedelic sound that fits well. I actually consider this piece as 2 songs — 1 that ends at 1:54 and another that starts at 1:55.

Constructive Comments: I was so into the early portion of the song, I felt disappointed with the sudden energy drop and change. I’m not kidding about 2 songs, as it’s hard as hell to market anything over 5 minutes these days. Separate these into two and re-post them, and I think you’d find success. Particularly with the earlier Pink Floyd-like piece.
