Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: First Date Blues
Reviewer: Joy Solomon
Positive Comments: ‘First date blues’ as I call it is a fun blues song, a little tongue in cheek the singer does not sound nervous about dating at all! Lovely backing instrumentation witty and enjoyable. It is easy for it to become a singalong cult song. I also like very much the growly gruff singing, its great! The tempo is also about right for the lyrics.
Constructive Comments: It initially sounds very traditional but the lyrics are a bit distinct and unusual, that is really a good thing. The beat is consistent but perhaps there could be some variation. The whistle is funny, it is a bit sexist with jump the bones etc, not really taking a female perspective but enjoyable nevertheless.
