Song: Chicrazy

Reviewer: LaWanda Macik

Positive Comments: Ahhh, Yeah. I love this so much. It reminds me of the classic R&B days like Midnight Starr. I really like the keyboards and bass. I can hear this on as a theme for a talk show. Awesome and Great job.

Constructive Comments: I have nothing bad to say. I loved it.

Broadjam Artist: Marc Rosselet
Song: A better world (stand by me)

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: Great driving beat with an urgent tambourine and chord progression that gives a tragic mood. I can’t quite understand the lyrics but the melody and phrasing work so well I know the lyrics are good. This sounds like Billy Corgan / Smashing Pumpkins if he were a better songwriters.

Constructive Comments: There’s so much chorus on the guitar it makes the sound very thin. The guitar break at 1:57 totally doesn’t fit the song at first but then what you end up with *does* give a strong bridge. The finish of the tune doesn’t match the vibe you’ve created. I think there are a number of things to fix and glue together better but there is a great song here and some really cool things going on. Overall I think the sound is too trebly and the vocal diction needs to be clearer. Some sweet harmony vocals would be a great addition.

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: Marc S. Pate
Song: Old Man

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: Of course the first moments call Cowgirl in the Sand to mind…and you turn it around by using an “Old Man” hook. Really good sound and mood are created in the first few bars. The voice is commanding and really pleasing. I like the upward changes in the chorus. This has a very strong late 70’s feel. Super tasty guitar break. This calls to mind Neil Young of course but also Seals & Crofts, Jesse Winchester, Steven Stills, Rodriguez, and Bob Welch. And anyone who likes those will love this. Super work here!

Constructive Comments: Like what? lol

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: A Cold Blade Tells / Blues Rock

Reviewer: Marc S. Pate

Positive Comments: Great guitar tone. Tasty and sparse, I like that.

Constructive Comments: It’s very well done, don’t have much. But, just thinking maybe a cold stop, or two, would add a nice contrast.
