Broadjam Artist: Jeana Potthoff
Song: Moment of Truth

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Short instrumental clip appropriate for a movie. Features keys and strings. Nice lower end with cello or bass. Smooth. Evokes sadness, waiting, pre-crisis moment. I think this short piece would be appropriate for a movie.

Constructive Comments: Keep the great music coming!

Broadjam Artist: John Walradt
Song: She Has a Way featuring Clay Collins

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This is a GREAT positive, upbeat love song. I really like it, because it doesn’t just talk about the physical attributes of the girlfriend, but “love the way we work together, make the world a whole lot better”. That has a welcome depth that is lacking in a lot of other love songs. The vocals are stellar and the harmonies pleasing, remind me a little of the beach boys. Very catchy tune and hook. Five stars all around!

Constructive Comments: Were the harmonies real or computer generated? Just curious. Desert highway. So where are you gonna find a grove of trees in case it rains? Sounds like a long shot to me! But it’s all fun!

Broadjam Artist: John Van Wicklen
Song: I Thank You

Reviewer: John Walradt

Positive Comments: Now don’t go blurting out, “Retro, retro!” Some things never go out of style, and you know you like those feel good songs by Herman’s Hermits and Donovan. Oh, and those melodies! This one has an easy going, catchy melody, ukulele, string section, ending purposefully with a hands down “I thank you.” The arrangement is fresh and new. Lyrically, it’s easy to follow. There’s a wide variety of opportunities where this could fit. Somehow, after you listen to it, you’ll realize, it’s not caught way back in time. It’s as pertinent and enjoyable today as it ever was.

Constructive Comments: You have an excellent song structure and easy lyrics…a terrific pop song. The words and music are always the most important base and you’ve done it well. I can’t think of anything to suggest.

Song: Wouldn’t It Be

Reviewer: JayStrong aka JBism

Positive Comments: Too much of an old school vibe. I feel you need to modernize your lyrics and production and give it a more up to date flow.The concept is good and the melody is ok but it could be better.

Constructive Comments: Work Work Work. Practice makes perfect.No matter what keep pushing.

Broadjam Artist: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance
Song: Hill Bill’s Blues

Reviewer: Bruce Madden

Positive Comments: Like the simplicity or the sound of it as the guitarist picked away. The mix was pretty good. It could be me but there seemed to be a speeding up which very well might have been intentional. The song seemed to have a back porch feel which I liked.

Constructive Comments: I don’t have any constructive comments to add.

Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: soul food

Reviewer: Bruce Madden

Positive Comments: Nice tone on the guitars. Instrumental just rolls along with no pretension. Voices were a nice surprise. Didn’t care for the “horns” which sound like they were done with a keyboard?

Constructive Comments: I don’t have any constructive comments.

Song: A Happy Man Derrick Procell

Reviewer: Bruce Madden

Positive Comments: I really liked the harmonica accents during the song. I would probably put this into country rather than blues-country. Vocalist had a genuine twang in his voice. Though the topic is somewhat generic, the lyrics and the vocalist handle it with appropriate panache. There’s that harmonica weaving in and out of the mix. Enjoyed the listen.

Constructive Comments: I really don’t have any constructive comments.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: Just Like A Hurricane

Reviewer: Bruce Madden

Positive Comments: Vocalist was very good. Reminded me of someone’s voice that I should know but can’t quite place it. Nice guitar work, too. The guitar had a way of unrolling the riffs during the solo with good accents, too. Was that a violin in the mix? I would have liked to hear a violin solo but was okay with the accents. Overall, I enjoyed the song.

Constructive Comments: I do not have any constructive comments.
