Broadjam Artist: Marc S. Pate
Song: Rainy Night

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Beautiful mix of Blues Rock with Jazz highlights. Extremely smooth with excellent guitar work, and the recording sound is pure. Very cool listen for sure! This is one of the strongest instrumentals I’ve heard on Broadjam.

Constructive Comments: Even as a 20+ year drummer, I found the drums just a wee bit too up front in the mix. Maybe 2-3db off the overall drum mix would give room for the other instruments to breathe.

Song: Would You

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Never thought I’d give a perfect song to a psychedelic rock song in 2020, but here you go. I think this is my 4th 50 out of 300 or so reviews, so not given out lightly. This song is SO well-recorded and could appear in a major film/TV scene as it stands. Just an outstanding piece of work that was TOTALLY unexpected. Great songcraftsmanship, and I loved it!

Constructive Comments: Wouldn’t change a single thing on this. I’d just keep trying to get it in front of the right ears.

Broadjam Artist: Robert J.
Song: Page 43 Again

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Very nice 70s feel to this, with outstanding blend on the instruments and a fun story-song lyric. David Crosby’s one of my musical heroes anyway, so I’m particularly fond of the back story. I think the instrumental version of this could easily find its way into TV or film backgrounds. Well done.

Constructive Comments: For me the vocal could have been a wee bit tighter to the melody, but still a very cool song.

Broadjam Artist: Bob Birthisel
Song: Blues Conversation

Reviewer: Robert J.

Positive Comments: Great production, arrangement and players! Some seriously good guitar picking.

Constructive Comments: Nothing comes to mind here. Great job!

Broadjam Artist: Ian Graham
Song: Blues Andaluz

Reviewer: Robert J.

Positive Comments: Very good traditional folk style.

Constructive Comments: Although the song is about a lady with the blures, I don’t consider this a blues song. More of a folk song to me. I like it though.

Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: DIFFERENT KIND OF COOL (featuring Chris Gantry)

Reviewer: Robert J.

Positive Comments: I really like this tune. Great lyrics! Tom Waits influenced!

Constructive Comments: I’d like to hear this produced with light, jazzy drums, stand up bass and maybe a soprano sax. Lyrics are brilliant!
