Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: Farther On

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Pleasant guitar intro leads into warm, friendly vocal in this very singable folk song with a spiritual bent. It’s a tune that would have the audience singing along in no time. I love the positive and hopeful message that the lyrics coupled with the vocal conveys. Background vocals are gently added in for a fuller sound. 2 guitars play together nicely in this simply produced, memorable tune. Reminds me a bit of Burl Ives with a little less rasp. This song could/should be widely known and sung in campfire circles and festivals. If this artist was singing at a local festival, I would definitely listen to his set!

Constructive Comments: You hit the bottom of your range at 1:05, but recovered nicely. I really like the guitars! I wish I could play like that!

Broadjam Artist: Nick Berry
Song: Enough

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Very nice cut, with some Bob Seger influences. The mood stays solid from start to finish, with a nice dynamic break just around 2:37 and a memorable hook. Really well crafted song. This would work well in the right TV or film setting.

Constructive Comments: I gave a slight markdown for recording only because the vocal comes off as too harsh compared to the richness of the instrument sound. Like too much high-end for my taste. And the instrumentation is all quality, just nothing that sends it over the top. Maybe the addition of bass or a couple more accents, but that’s just nitpicking. It’s extremely good.

Song: True Love

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Looking for true love in a sort of Strawberry Wine picture.

Constructive Comments: Sorry…didn’t get the hook…”within”…don’t know what that means….

Broadjam Artist: Lostfollicles
Song: Shine (Instrumental)

Reviewer: Jay Gross

Positive Comments: Really enjoyed this song. I was waiting for the vocals to pop in at the beginning. Great instrumentation, perfect arrangement, stellar production! Could see this in a sports program or in a film. Well Done

Constructive Comments: I have nothing to critique this is a well performed musical piece and has a place in the film and tv world! Good Job!

Broadjam Artist: Janet Murphy
Song: Don’t You Quit

Reviewer: Jay Gross

Positive Comments: Really enjoyed this tune. Brought me back in time when life was much less complicated. And I need that once in a while. Very good lyrically, great vocals, excellent instrumentation. Love the arrangement the horns really well done. Certainly could land this in a film.

Constructive Comments: Nothing to say critically a time piece one that lives on through the ages. Well done!

Broadjam Artist: paul sandberg
Song: Track 13

Reviewer: John Francis Cooper

Positive Comments: Strange at first I was thinking the Doors but then halfway into it got me thinking 80’s New Wave. Very interesting sound. Should have some value in some market.

Constructive Comments: Not much to say not my personal music taste. But Hey we all have different taste. Best of Luck in your future en devours.

Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: ICE MARCH (instrumental)

Reviewer: John Francis Cooper

Positive Comments: Makes me think of mid evil times and battle scenes. Very Well Done…

Constructive Comments: If anything I can think of maybe apply some reverb, echo, or some form of time tap effect at that beginning just to intensify the feel.

Broadjam Artist: Phil Bouldry
Song: Move Over Baby

Reviewer: John Francis Cooper

Positive Comments: Interesting makes me think of Buddy Holly. You never hear old school rock n roll any more. A refreshing change even compared to my material.

Constructive Comments: The vocals could have been mixed a little bit better. Maybe put some emphasis on the chorus lines. Was very hard to distinguish the title and main focal point of the song.

Broadjam Artist: Mitch Siegal
Song: Save Me

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Man, I liked this from the jump! It’s listed as Indie/Lo-Fi but this is brilliant Prog Rock all the way. Maybe the best I’ve heard on Broadjam thus far. This would be amazing in a film/TV setting for the right project. So simple, but so very well done. There’s only about a dozen words to the lyrics, but I didn’t care. I was all-in.

Constructive Comments: Get this thing into Progressive Rock to get the proper ears on it. Amazing job.

Broadjam Artist: Tom Reardon
Song: Virtual Date

Reviewer: Sam Cooper

Positive Comments: Good topic for a song these days.

Constructive Comments: There’s a likeability factor based on subjectivity. I just feel like it needs a warmer remix.
