Broadjam Artist: Bob Bentley
Song: Dance Hall Of Dreams

Reviewer: Hart Brothers

Positive Comments: Vocal is very good, kind of a Vern Gosdin vibe. The song has an excellent lyric, what a beautiful story it tells. An older couple goes through this world hand and hand, they are very much in love. when they dance like they used to when they were young. Now they are together dancing in the dance hall of dreams. I have heard this guy sing before he is a good writer and his delivery is great.

Constructive Comments: I have written several waltzes, they are hard to sell but you got a winner here. The only thing I would change is to add more bass and maybe some steel guitar or fiddle to give that traditional sound. great the way it is though. Keep em coming it’s my kind of country.

Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: Blue Mandolin

Reviewer: Hart Brothers

Positive Comments: Love the vocal, great lyric real good story. Acoustic instruments makes this song happen. Presentation very well arranged, chorus is very catchy. Harmony in the bridge is nice. I like the song it is very well done, the quality of the mix is very professional. I could enjoy hearing this group live bet they got lots more stuff.

Constructive Comments: There are not any corrections I could put forward. Everything sounds excellent. If I where to suggest any changes it would be to add a couple instruments, they would be maybe a dobro and because an ole red harmonica is mentioned a harmonica would fit for a few licks. Maybe turn the standup bass up some for my taste. It is alright the way it is though. very nice

Song: You’re Everywhere I Look

Reviewer: Hart Brothers

Positive Comments: Very nice instrumental, very smooth! Starts out quit and builds to a very nice guitar and piano. Nice mix on the recording, a lot going on. Drummer is spot on with a modern sound. I like this instrumental it took mucho talent to create, well done.

Constructive Comments: As for the musicianship, it is excellent. I am more of a lyricist my brother is the musician, I do vocal. I could sound real good with these guys. Great tune and great picking, I enjoyed listening keep up the great tunes!

Broadjam Artist: Bill Dake
Song: Olympic (Solo guitar)

Reviewer: Fred Kimmel

Positive Comments: Awesome jazz guitar chord/melody composition. The guitar player is awesome and I can really feel the instrument sing through the entire piece.

Constructive Comments: Just my opinion,BUT, when the tube noise is so ridiculously loud, that you can hear the noise gates popping in and out, the recording itself loses a bit of it’s charm. Sonicly (if that’s a real world), I think this guitar should have been recorded direct with the best signal, very light compression, then stick on a virtual amp with the drive down and the volume up

Reviewer: Fred Kimmel

Positive Comments: I love this piece. Wicked keyboard player and arranger here would be the obvious point to make in this review. Nice use of retro and modern synth sounds all over the place. I was hooked on this piece in the first 5 seconds and it gets better as it goes on.
