Broadjam Artist: Bill Dake
Song: Baby Said Bye, Bye
Reviewer: Bob Birthisel
Positive Comments: Unique and totally-compelling song! While listed as Blues, I hear this as Jazz all the way. Beautiful recording with amazing tone on the guitar and rock-solid bass and keyboards. Somewhat of a John Sebastian vocal is a quite unexpected touch. Really good stuff.
Constructive Comments: The drums are very uneven to me, sounding like maybe they’re artificial? Everything else is incredibly-tight but when they come in at 0:16 up to around the 1 minute mark I’m finding some slight out-of-tempo hits (I played professionally for 20+ years, so maybe a bit critical). But I absolutely LOVE the song. If this were re-recorded with smooth jazz drums, it would be a monster. Here’s a video of Al Sergel IV who has played on a number of my tunes – and as a studio drummer he plays any style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi1mI8CFctI
