Broadjam Artist: Bob Bentley
Song: The Moonlight

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Really nice and emotionally touching tune with really good instrumentation–very soulful brass. Pleasing vocals that put you to mind somewhat of Kenny Rogers.

Constructive Comments: Nice tune.

Broadjam Artist: Earl.C.Webb
Song: MADDY

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Very touching and well instrumented piece sung with a very soulful voice that sounds like a really nice mix of Luther Vandross and Michael McDonald.

Constructive Comments: Very emotional and inspiring piece.

Broadjam Artist: Bobby Caputo
Song: I Have Dreams

Reviewer: Merlo

Positive Comments: Cool tune. Reminds me of a Roy Orbison or Traveling Wilburys song. Like the harmonies! I have Dreams to me is the hook. Like this one. Would be a good road trip song.

Constructive Comments: The only thing I would suggest is to amp up the production value. Production is decent but needs to be better for this song to go to the next level. Otherwise, like the song and the harmonies.

Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK (featuring Jimmy Copens)

Reviewer: Merlo

Positive Comments: This song has potential. I like the vibe. I like the lyrical content. I can see this either on a throw back Classic Rock station or maybe even on a Country station. Keep up the good work. This song is close to having some market potential.

Constructive Comments: The vocals need some polishing. Love the vibe of the song but the vocal performance needs to be better for this song to have commercial viability. Try emoting more. Vocals aren’t bad but they are not grabbing me.

Reviewer: Catch Ten One Ten

Positive Comments: At first, I wasn’t a fan of the synth, but, relistening it’s clearly a stylistic choice. It has the 80’s pop feel, and is an interesting contrast to the brass and less “80’s drums”. I LOVE the crescendos! When you ascend one of the instruments and shift the chords under them who, yes, it “hits different” haha. Very attention-grabbing. All the notes are played with such passion. Is this live? If so it’s mixed very well. Either way, it has a real recorded track at a time feel. Makes me visualize a bar a band is playing. Awesome!

Constructive Comments: Hmm, honestly my only criticism is how repetitious it is. For a song such as this, and for the hope of placement here, do not be afraid to cut an idea down to a minute or even less! I know that sounds counter-intuitive, but looping the same thing for over 3 minutes doesn’t make it a full song. The good news is, you don’t have to make a full song. If this hovered around 60 seconds it would be a solid 4/5 if not higher. Just my opinion, great vibes at the core no matter what <3

Song: All You Are

Reviewer: Mark S. Ludes (MSL)

Positive Comments: smooth sailing…nice flow….. like the guitar chords…. vocals are strong….

Constructive Comments: Smooth groove… vocals are there, but I think the music mix in the backing tracks need a bit more punch to blend with the vox….the drums and Bass are a bit buried in the mix……. I think remixing that part and getting a nice blend of instruments and vocals will make this sucker pop! Rock on… the backing is better…in the solo part… but the other parts could use that boost… cheers

Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: Bo Diddley

Reviewer: Mark S. Ludes (MSL)

Positive Comments: bluesy groove…. kind of a take on the Diddley style…. probably a good live song to move ’em…

Constructive Comments: Has a good groove going…but kind of wanted it to break out…. wanted to hear some popping drums and guitar come ripping out of the box and really make it come alive…. otherwise, this type of blues groove can get little long…. if it stays in the same place…. Rock it…Brother… Cheers!

Song: I Have Dreams

Reviewer: Mark S. Ludes (MSL)

Positive Comments: smooth light rock song…. flows along nicely…. vocals are smooth with good harmony

Constructive Comments: drums and the clapping kind of get a bit lost and sound out of synch at times…? maybe some echo or the clapping causing that… might try a re-mis and even bring up the drums and bass to get it solid in the pocket and make it tighter…… just a suggestion, because the vocals are out front where they should be – but ya lose the music backing a bit at times… make the entire mix ‘pop’…. keep on keeping’ on… cheers!
