Song: Done Riding

Reviewer: sonya watts

Positive Comments: I just love Cowboy music. When I heard the opening lyric about Chasing Ghosts I almost fainted because I have a song on Broadjam with that title! I guess I was meant to hear this wonderful song. I love the vocal and I really loved when the back up vocal came in and rounded it all out. I hope to hear this song when I’m curled up on the couch watching Yellowstone. This song is a keeper!

Constructive Comments: I wouldn’t change anything about this one. It’s a classic, and just perfect as is. An easy fit for any film /TV show set in the west! Classic. I’m going to take another listen just for the joy of it.

Broadjam Artist: Lawrence K. Bodien
Song: Mahlik

Positive Comments: I loved the music and the journey I felt it took me on. It was almost as if a wind was blowing through a forest and I could see the little forest sprites fluttering around and being whisk gently around by that same wind. I’m sure different listeners would visualize different things happening because the music is so open to the imagination.

Constructive Comments: I thought it was lovely and probably wouldn’t change a thing. I did wonder if the song was over around 2:25 because there was a bit of a pause. Since I don’t know anything about instrument only music for film, perhaps this is a normal addition?? I am not qualified to review that. Overall, I thought it was beautiful and I want to go to that place right now!!

Broadjam Artist: Delta Burnett Reed
Song: Monday Morning

Reviewer: sonya watts

Positive Comments: Wow I love the story and the beautiful music and vocal. Sort of swept me away on a journey where I could feel the scene. Could understand the adventure and then the sorrow. I really enjoyed listening to the song, and thought hmmm that actually strikes a pretty true chord! Yikes, story is completely relatable for some of us!

Constructive Comments: I honestly think this is a wonderful tale and told so eloquently that I don’t have any constructive comments other than occasionally I couldn’t hear a lyric or two, which very well could be my ears rather than the volume of the vocal track. I’d say ask other listeners to verify (I have one bad ear). So overall I’d say don’t change a thing unless that suggestion to lift the vocal track occasionally also comes from other reviewers. Again, I loved the song, especially the ending which made me nod in agreement.

Broadjam Artist: Sam Cooper
Song: CAN’T MAKE A JOKE (Trent Jeffcoat-vocal)

Reviewer: sonya watts

Positive Comments: Whoa! I wasn’t expecting the pleasure of this song today. HA! Had me smiling from the very beginning. Love the music and the crafty lyrics. The classic country vocal is really great. Hope this ends up in a jukebox scene in a movie. I’m going to listen for it. I would like to hear some more from this artist, hoping he has both comedy and some classic country tunes. Really could listen to his vocals for an extended period of time.

Constructive Comments: I have no constructive criticism, as this one is unique and just perfect as is. Thanks for giving me a chance to listen to your creative inspiration.

Broadjam Artist: Marilyn Hall
Song: Transcendence-EDM

Reviewer: David James

Positive Comments: Nice intro which sets the scene. I like the melody very much which has an airy, joyful feel and is catchy…great for dancing to. There are some nice changes of pace throughout the tune which add light and shade. The tune is very atmospheric and builds nicely.

Constructive Comments: If I were to change one thing it would be the drum tone of the fill which comes in for the first time at 0.23 and is repeated at different points throughout the song. The reason for that comment is that the tune has a cool, chilled feel, but that drum patch introduces an element of heat, almost Caribbean in ambience, which to my ear doesn’t quite fit the genre. But that’s a minor detail. Overall it’s excellent.

Broadjam Artist: SRJ
Song: That Afterhours Feeling

Reviewer: David James

Positive Comments: Firstly I like the choice of sounds and the way they are introduced gradually to add interest specifically guitar tone at 0.47 which really makes the tune in my opinion, the new synth theme at 1.35 and the voice at 2.38. Sound quality is good. Nicely recorded.

Constructive Comments: Nothing to add. Enjoyable.
