Broadjam Artist: Laurence Watkins
Song: That Girl

Reviewer: Ante Novaselic

Positive Comments: I really liked the way the guitar parts worked with each other. There was some cool layering going on there. I feel that the idea for the song is there. I liked it, but I felt like it left me hanging in the production dept. I think with a little work it could be an even better tune.

Constructive Comments: I think this song would lend itself very well to more synth exploration.

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey

Positive Comments: Wowza, what a Kick Ars tune from the first note!!! Knocked me off my recliner and made me spill my malt!! The audacity, great tune!! This song sounds like some of the Pop Power Groups from the 80’s. Terrific recording, great sounding guitar riffs, incredible lead Vocal, this tune needs to get to the masses, stand back!!!Super Tune!!

Constructive Comments: Nope perfect!! Wouldn’t change a thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it, Love it, LOVE IT!!! Wish we’d had written it!!!

Broadjam Artist: Ashley Martin
Song: Empty Space

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey

Positive Comments: The vocalist on this tune has a wonderful sounding voice, it has a folkie sound to it, but that is cool!! A Judy Collins feel!!This tune calls for a better recording of the Voice and instruments in general, but the arrangement needs to remain simple to reflect the feel of the composition. It would be a good idea to have this produced in a simple studio! It is a wonderful song!!! You should be proud it it!!

Constructive Comments: Just have it recorded in a simple studio with good vocal mics and keep the arrangement simple………this will be magnificent!!!

Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: COLD LONELY HOUSE

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey

Positive Comments: This is absolutely a Perfect Traditional Country Tune!! Killer instrumentation, great story line, Great vocalist. This sounds like the terrific music from the 70’s, 80’s maybe even the Mid 50’s and that’s that great era of Country Music for me!! None of that Hat Singer’s stuff!! The Real Deal, honest songs with incredible realism!!SUPER TUNE!!!

Constructive Comments: Nope…..this tune is Perfect in every way!!! Wouldn’t change a Pea- Pickin’-Thing!!!

Broadjam Artist: Mitch Siegal
Song: Still In Love

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: I really enjoyed this. Very tender with excellent musicianship and a crystal-clean sound. The vocal is sweet and a little breathy. I could easily hear this in a TV or film scene.

Constructive Comments: I thought the harmonies and vocals in general could have been a little tighter, but that’s just personal opinion. Nice piece!

Broadjam Artist: David James
Song: She Can Fly

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Nice song. I’d probably call this more Americana than Country Rock, but that sound is hot right now. Very strong blend of instruments and the rhythm section is tight. A solid, fun listen.

Constructive Comments: Wasn’t sure if I was listening to a song about Supergirl or what, so the lyrics didn’t jump for me. But a really good song all around!

Broadjam Artist: Dena Taylor
Song: And I Don’t Care Who Knows (2016)

Reviewer: Sam Cooper

Positive Comments: Sweet vocals. Good song. Nice playing on the instruments.

Constructive Comments: I’ll bet a few pushes and stops would help to open up ears more instead of the stock changes and turnarounds already in place. Maybe even a modulation would be tasty.

Broadjam Artist: StarburstRecords
Song: B 04. Dj vu Doo ft Leslie Sahlen

Reviewer: Sam Cooper

Positive Comments: Really wonderful simple demo without any bells and whistles. Fun to listen to it.

Constructive Comments: Not sure I’d change a thing unless you’re looking to pitch this for radio airplay, but it’s good to go for something like a movie!

Broadjam Artist: Robert J.
Song: The Saddest March Of All

Reviewer: Sam Cooper

Positive Comments: Pandemic blues was bound to infect a lot of us.
