Broadjam Artist: Marilyn Hall
Song: Young Love

Reviewer: Sam Cooper

Positive Comments: Unusual lead vocalist, but I like him. Everything was well-done. Cool song.

Constructive Comments: I might have thought to put in some melodic backup vocal parts to goose it up, but that’s a subjective opinion.

Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: back again (2006)

Reviewer: Sam Cooper

Positive Comments: Don’t know if it was a glitch or what, but there was no audio at the page or the player.

Constructive Comments: Can’t comment on no audio.

Broadjam Artist: Nigel Barrett
Song: Stronger

Reviewer: Phil Bouldry

Positive Comments: Nice vocals. I like the interposing vocals in the chorus. The piano sounds nice, as do the synth pads.

Constructive Comments: There is not much change musically between the verses and the chorus. Tough to keep the attention of the listener.

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Summer’s In The Sun

Reviewer: Phil Bouldry

Positive Comments: Singer’s voice resembles Kenny Rogers. Nice intro with the vocal harmonies. Nice pads and organ.I especially like the saxophone work.

Constructive Comments: I think for it to have more market potential it would have to be a bit more upbeat.

Broadjam Artist: Marc S. Pate
Song: Love Will Find You

Reviewer: Phil Bouldry

Positive Comments: Pretty lyric. No repetition at all. Tells a story in song. This would make a great slow dance song in a club.The singer’s voice is smooth and relaxing.There doesn’t really seem to be a hook though.

Constructive Comments: This is good dentist office/elevator music. Relaxing. Tells a nice story with a positive affirmation even though it’s a kind of sad story too.

Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: CAN’T MAKE A JOKE (Trent Jeffcoat-vocal)

Reviewer: Phil Bouldry

Positive Comments: The guitars and bass go good together. The lyric is cute. The singer has a pure country voice.

Constructive Comments: Of course because of the subject matter and some of the words, and the situation these days, it probably wouldn’t make it commercially. Some of the phrasing is a little strange to the ear.

Broadjam Artist: Bob Birthisel
Song: Walkin’

Reviewer: Phil Bouldry

Positive Comments: All instrument parts are performed perfectly. The mix is great. The subject is awesome of course, because God is Awesome! This is a fun song to listen to. Though this would probably not be allowed by the music industry to cross into secular realm, it should be a hit on the gospel charts for sure.

Constructive Comments: I don’t have any suggestion to improve this. It is already blessed!

Broadjam Artist: Keith Taylor
Song: Crank It Up

Reviewer: Phil Bouldry

Positive Comments: Good acoustic guitar work. Solid lyric. Good mix I think.

Constructive Comments: Were there drums? I didn’t hear drums. Or bass. Is my system not working right?

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Chicken in the Pan

Reviewer: Phil Bouldry

Positive Comments: Great theme. I don’t think chicken has ever been written about before. Pretty voice and good use of the male voice. I love the fiddle. Good stuff there. Great mix and production.

Constructive Comments: For commercial use it may have to be shortened a little.

Broadjam Artist: StarburstRecords
Song: 38. Motherhugger

Reviewer: Phil Bouldry

Positive Comments: This song has a great unique title, clean yet suggestive. The story, though common, is told a little differently which is great. Good use of uncommonly used rhymes. Nice mix overall.

Constructive Comments: Maybe a little more harmony vocals?
