Broadjam Artist: David E. White
Song: Unfinished Blues

Reviewer: paul sandberg

Positive Comments: nice groove and feel – very reminiscent of some of the more swampy things done by the late, great Roy Buchanan. I liked the tremelo effect on the organ, trippy. Cool lil breakdown at the 1:30 mark. The band is groovin throughout.

Constructive Comments: I would have liked to have the lil piano solo at 1:10 be kicked up – this is a theme overall – the groove is solid, but the track lacks dynamics – there is no lead taking charge, and for my ear there should be – this is a very solid backing track that is just crying out for a strong lead.

Song: Phone Phobia II The Corey’s

Reviewer: paul sandberg

Positive Comments: fun and funky – terrific groove and fab sax work (and horns) – production is tight and in your face, some very quirky parts that all fit together well, making this, while somewhat familiar, also something “different”.

Constructive Comments: some of the vocal phrasing seems a bit strained – as if you’re rushing to fit all the syllables into the line. Other than that, this is a lot of fun and pretty damned cool.

Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: pussyfoot

Reviewer: paul sandberg

Positive Comments: nice production, tight rhythms and some kickin’ guitar work – the groove and the chord progression certainly reminds me of Give Me All Your Lovin’ by ZZ, and that ain’t a bad thing. Can sure hear this as a juke box background to some roadhouse type film (if they don’t wanna pay for the real thing… LOL)

Constructive Comments: as good as this is, it does remain derivative – maybe with some lyrics it would set this apart. Still, some head boppin’ goodness here for sure.

Broadjam Artist: Simpson-Mancine Productions
Song: Walks with Grace

Constructive Comments: Great job.

Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: 7xMorgenrot

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Very cool piece with a very bluesy funky feel to it and really good instrumentation, including drum work.

Constructive Comments: Good tune.

Broadjam Artist: Nigel Barrett
Song: Kiss Me (can I get to call you honey)

Reviewer: John Walradt

Positive Comments: The words and music are catchy, unique, playful, and a heck of a lot of fun! I love the electronic instrumentals backing the song, the bouncy playful synths, the sometimes unexpected lyrics that just paint an ordinary nerdy kind of guy, make the song more endearing. Superb job!

Constructive Comments: No need to change a thing on this song. I would sit back, have a few beers, and enjoy what you’ve done. That’s what everyone else is going to do (if they don’t dance to it first).

Broadjam Artist: Bob Bentley
Song: Empire

Reviewer: Simpson-Mancine Productions

Positive Comments: Very nice piece that gave me some Aaron Copeland vibes at times with the horn-led melody.There is a classic 80s, early 90s vibe to this, but that may be more of the production than the composition itself.Overall, a pleasant piece with relatable melody and changes!

Constructive Comments: I have to wonder what this would sound like with more modern and dynamic instrumentation. It is a very nice song that may shine through a bit more with more realistic samples.
