Broadjam Artist: Bill Dake
Song: Baby Said Bye, Bye
Reviewer: Paul Pierce Project
Positive Comments: Started out with a Leon Redbone vibe. Nice! Nice vocal sound. Really a pretty recording with nice, natural acoustic piano. I’m’ sure a fan of the performances! This is a very real, rootsy jazz blues tune with all the right elements. Tastefully played fills and solos, with an interesting vocal delivery. I’d enjoy hearing more of this.
Constructive Comments: Mix could use a little more bass to my ear. Occasionally it gets a little busy with slightly conflicting piano vs. guitar lines, but not painful. Cross-stick drum beats are slightly late or off-tempo with the groove from time to time. Backing vocals occasionally are singing a little too far from the timing of the lead vox. Interesting backing vocal ideas. I’d like to hear you tighten some of them up a little.
