Song: JESUS – The Chosen One

Reviewer: Bob Nesom

Positive Comments: Nice melody, great voice. Very impressive guitar.

Constructive Comments: I would bring the drums and bass up. I’d love to have a female harmony.

Broadjam Artist: Chris Landi
Song: Deal Came Down

Reviewer: Bob Nesom

Positive Comments: Love the harmony. Great arrangment.

Constructive Comments: Oh what brass and rolling drums would do for this song.

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

Reviewer: Bob Nesom

Positive Comments: Lyrics that match the music is huge to me, and you do it perfectly. Great voice and the song is sung well. The mood struck correlates very well with the lyrics.

Constructive Comments: Song sounds wonderful as is, just a thought. A female replying in the chorus, or/and perhaps harmonizing with you. Nice piece.

Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic
Song: Would You

Reviewer: Bob Nesom

Positive Comments: Like this piece a lot. Great sound, reminds me of Pink Floyd a bit. Nice voice. Very nice arrangment and just the right length.

Constructive Comments: Adding heavy drums with strong roles sparingly would pick this song up considerably. If this magic had gone through me I would have had a female singing in the back ground in sort of a tribute to Pink Floyd or an instruemnt that periodically comes in with a lead, electirc guitar is obvious but perhaps something else. Very nice, really enjoyed it.
