Broadjam Artist: Steve Dafoe – Songwriter
Song: Storm Of Days (Roots/Contemporary Blues)

Reviewer: Paul Pierce Project

Positive Comments: I totally like the jangling acoustic guitar intro. Vocal well placed in the mix, and with the right amount of effects. Interesting vocals. Nice guitar work and cool chord progression. You can hear the miles in the lead vocal’s voice. He’s done this before! Really nice man! I totally like the bridge/middle change section. Great lyrics. I like that it almost has an edge of fantasy lyrically, with the dragons and all. I am a fan!

Constructive Comments: This is very powerful as it is. But I could see you adding additional instrumentation to fill out the production. That said, it sure holds it’s own with just guitar and vox. I’m forced to critique so the only thing I can say is the hook is not really strong, but you get the point across regardless.

Song: Farewell To Tarwathie

Reviewer: Lawrence K. Bodien

Positive Comments: Its Celtic, I’m prejudiced.

Constructive Comments: You’re going to have to work very hard to get a bad word from me on a Celtic piece. There was no hook, which I thought was perfect. The drum sounded a little bongoish, but I haven’t studied the originals.

Song: Can we get our timing right

Reviewer: Lawrence K. Bodien

Positive Comments: This is a different presentation, kinda unstabilized me, but I think it may very attractive.

Constructive Comments: This thing is empty, which may be great but a very careful analysis of the dynamics could add color if they were emphasized a little more. I miss something sustaining, off coarse that defeats the whole impact of the song, so cake and eat it to if you can figure it out sounds great. Like it!

Happy writing. 6) Is my chorus easy to sing along with after one listen? yes 7) What does my song make the listener want to do? Dance? Cry? Laugh? Sing? Sing along 8) What universal emotion does my song tap into? fun and catchy 9) Is my idea strong enough to carry an entire song? yes 10) Would I want to listen to this over and over in my car? Yes.

Song: Invisible

Reviewer: Hartmut Oberdieck

Positive Comments: A very beautiful voice – expressive, soulful and very variable. Wonderful!! Very nice song, very well arranged. Sorry that I didn’t rate the lyrics. It’s not my mother language.

Constructive Comments: I find the instrumentation a bit sparing. A rock band would, in my opinion, bring the song forward even more. But of course that’s a matter of taste. Overall, wonderful work. Good luck!
