Broadjam Artist: PHIL MITTEN STORYTELLER
Song: Headin’ Out West
Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Positive Comments: Drama and intrigue from the top. Guitar lead at 1:10 is very nice… good tone and mix placement. It would have been easy to have that guitar too loud so good job mixing it in. Nice drum samples, I like how the phase changes with every hit, gives the song a modern sound.
Constructive Comments: The whistle lead sound gives it a somewhat “X- Files” or western sound…. I hear little whip sound effects too which brings me to a western soundtrack. Song sections seem to lack cohesion and the sounds used do not support the genre or feel of the period which I am getting old western movie (the drum break sent it from a western to the civil war). The pad behind the guitar solo is a little too loud for my taste.
