Broadjam Artist: StarburstRecords
Song: B 08. Finders Keepers ft. Eric Holland

Reviewer: Jeff Ashbaker

Positive Comments: Great subtle lyric with a nice lilt in the method.

Constructive Comments: maybe a second high vocal in the chorus

Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: ab geht die lucy

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Nice little boogie jam, with almost a Country flair. The chord progression is 100% Blues all the way, so not sure why this is classified as Pop Rock, but the sound is very good with some nice dynamic changes.

Constructive Comments: Just for my taste, that’s a whole lot of tambourine. Dial that back about 3-4db in the mix and it would improve the overall sound.

Song: Old Man, Young man

Reviewer: David James

Positive Comments: The chord progression is absolutely beautiful – chords to die for. Lovely piano work. Superb melody. Strong vocal with flawless timing and delivery. Excellent lyrics. Great production values.

Constructive Comments: If I hadn’t heard this on Broadjam, I might have thought I was listening to Dean Friedman or Andrew Gold. It’s on a par with their work, if not better. Then I thought about some of Joni Mitchell’s piano ballads and it’s up there with them too. A stunning piece of work.
