Broadjam Artist: John Walradt
Song: Down East in a Harbor Town
Reviewer: Bob Birthisel
Positive Comments: Excellent chord progression and melody. The guitar sound is gorgeous and backing instruments are done tastefully. Like the etheral backing vocals too. There’s a whole lot to like here.
Constructive Comments: If there’s a hook, I’m not hearing it which limits market potential. The bigger issue for me is the vocal mix. “Down East” sounds like a bad edit, where the vocal jumps up and bites you, instead of a smooth transition into a lush background. There’s some kind of clipping (way too much treble??) that detracts from the beautiful tone of the singer. I would re-do that completely as it has lot of potential. SMOOOOOTH it out!
