Broadjam Artist: Lynn Ann & Gate 18
Song: It’s Not The Liquor (It’s Just My Life)
Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Positive Comments: Band sounds like they play a lot of bars and parties. Very clever hook and lyrics. The jam starts at 2 minutes and it’s definitely a controlled mayhem. Song reminds me of a lot of songs, one being “One Scotch, One Bourbon and One Beer”. Some really good live tracks here Broadjam!! The drummer is on it, the female singer is really good!! I love this song on the second listen. I love the last verse!! hahaha
Constructive Comments: In the beginning the bass seems a little low in the mix, it doesn’t bother me later… the kick drum lacks definition, I hear it but it’s kind of lost in the instrumental sections (very nice kick pattern!). Even with the multiple inconsistencies in the drum track… the energy and chops are good. There are some production issues that a trained ear would hear (punch in at 1:42) but there are no problems in the performance and vibe of this song.
