Broadjam Artist: The Trouts
Song: Strange

Reviewer: Tommy Stewart

Positive Comments: Love the song, Psychedelic with a sort of spainish feel to it. Would like to check out more of your music as it has a nice feel and mood to it. Great work

Constructive Comments: Nothing negative to add, keep up the good work

Broadjam Artist: Marc S. Pate
Song: Hana II

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: Great intro this could be Earth, Wind, and Fire but then you settle into a Lee Ritenour vibe. Every instrument is in the pocket with great tone and super playing. If you told me that this was The Yellowjackets I’d believe it. Superb!!

Constructive Comments: Maybe the bass is too loud? That’s splitting hairs though. This is excellent work that should be on a Smooth Jazz radio program.

Broadjam Artist: Bill Dake
Song: Little Journey

Reviewer: Brenda Craven

Positive Comments: This reminds me so much of the sounds of Steeley Dan or Michael Franks. Love this to pieces. Everything is mixed perfectly…vocals are dynamic and I just love the lyrics on this. I was riveted from start to finish. This is spectacular.

Constructive Comments: What can I say? I have no critique on this. Outstanding.

Broadjam Artist: Warren Hein
Song: Dirty Daddy

Reviewer: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance

Positive Comments: Wow, Great lead vocal voice quality. The song grabbed me right away. Great instrumentation and mix. You “nailed” the tempo, melody, lyrics, and overall presentation. I wanted to hear more, so I played it again (and will continue to listen to it some more). NICE JOB!

Constructive Comments: I wanted to hear a little more volume on the harp at the beginning. My ear would like a little more treble on the lead guitar (to make it a little more distinct). These are really not criticisms, just what my ears/brain would like.

Broadjam Artist: FRED GROSS
Song: Someone Like You

Reviewer: Brenda Craven

Positive Comments: Great job. I love the chords on this piece. It really is a beautiful song. Great guitar lead and instrumentation. Your voice of instruments work very well here.

Constructive Comments: On your hook, you guitar riffs are a little stacatto…short. I would suggest sustaining them a little more so your notes don’t just cut off. It will make for a smoother sounding intro. Maybe just a little more work on the mix bring up the low end a little more in the mix to balance out. Other than that, this is a great piece.

Song: Come On Over

Reviewer: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance

Positive Comments: I really liked the interplay between the two rythm guitars. Nice lead breaks, totally hot effect on the intro lead got my attention immediately. Perfect quality for the lead vocal. Nice easy blues pace. Great instrumental mix, nothing was dominating over the vocal, and the guitar and organ leads came to the front. I wanted to hear more. You know your genre’.

Constructive Comments: I have nothing constructive to offer, you “nailed” it.

Song: Hold The Mic Down – Tha Bishop featuring Phaze Seven & Daz Jones

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: I was going to say the backing instrumentals sound like a stereo playing in the background, but then it kicks in with real sound. This is very heavy and ominous, and the groove is really catchy. Very effective. I’m not current on Rap but this reminds me a lot of Ludacris (first voice).

Constructive Comments: Niggas, violence, and alpha male law of the jungle essence throughout the lyrics. Yeah it’s what sells but is it lifting the people up? That’s a philsophical critique. Musically this is solid.

Broadjam Artist: Bob Bentley
Song: Night Of Love (Orchestral Mix)

Reviewer: Janet Murphy

Positive Comments: good voice, even though I like deeper spiritual songs, it was peaceful and I’m sure pleasing to God

Constructive Comments: Best of luck to you!!

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey, S. & Al Corey
Song: The Downtown Matinee/NEW STEEL

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I like the sound of the drums and harmonica – I also like the lead guitar riffs – sounds a little like a young Kenny Rogers.

Constructive Comments: Very good Country Song – I really don’t have a lot of negatives – best wishes!
