Broadjam Artist: Douglas Branson aka dB+1
Song: Rasta Lullaby

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Solid enough demo with good energy.

Constructive Comments: Too many missed notes and loose spots. I’d re-record it for sure.

Broadjam Artist: Collaborations
Song: If Only

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Opening reminded me of equal parts America and The Eagles. Definitely a 60s throwback sound, including the harmonies.

Constructive Comments: Not really getting a hook here, but a pleasant listen.

Broadjam Artist: Tim Law
Song: New Moon

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Lead guitar tone is really nice. Reminds me of Robin Trower without the phaser.

Constructive Comments: The backing instruments simply aren’t tight, and I think that holds the entire song back.

Broadjam Artist: Strange World Music
Song: Lockdown

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Very timely song. Lots of energy and the lead vocal is outstanding.

Constructive Comments: Not sure there’s enough of a hook here, but the instrumental version could be used in a Lo-Fi setting for sure.

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Fat Chance

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: High-energy performance. Very memorable hook!

Constructive Comments: The cymbals are a bit loud in headphones.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Remember When

Reviewer: Terry Sullivan

Positive Comments: It kind of grew on me. I did like some of the harmonies and doubled vocals. A bit too much soloing over the top on guitar.

Constructive Comments: for me it did sound right off the bat like it was made on a computer with trigger pads and samples. It also felt like a one man band situation where a really good musician played all the parts and simply hit play and sang along. With that being said, it had a catchy hook and it was easy listening. It was pleasant but needed a little trimming.

Broadjam Artist: George Michael John
Song: night gallery

Reviewer: Terry Sullivan

Positive Comments: Right out of the gate it was interesting. Then I started to get the impression that there was no lyrics. At that point my mind switched gears a bit. Good musicians. Potential there, not sure about air play without singer.

Constructive Comments: Not sure if you guys have a singer or what you could do with vocals over the top. Give it a try!

Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic
Song: ZZ

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: This has all the sounds needed for TV/film. Very well done I particularly thought the chord progression worked.

Constructive Comments: Good stuff, no issues.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Bad Girl In Boots / Country Rock

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Strong vocal and both well-written and well-performed. This has all the elements with outstanding harmonies to back things up. Excellent!

Constructive Comments: Any issues would just be nitpicking.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
