Positive Comments: A real toe-tapper!! Good dance tune definitely.. This has several potential applications: TV-Film-Live Clubscene- RadioGuitar was kickin! Vocals were very good. Overall recording was nice.

Broadjam Artist: Nigel Barrett
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: Ian Graham
Song: The Like

Reviewer: FRED GROSS

Positive Comments: This could definitely fit into a film score, country video. Recording was fairly good. Guitar work was good. Nice tune for just an acoustic and vocal. Keep up the good work!

Constructive Comments: Nothin gmuch here to add. In certain parts, the vocals seemed to rush a little, timing was off.. But you can get away with that since it was only a guitar and vocals track.

Reviewer: FRED GROSS

Positive Comments: You’ve got something here! Recording is nice and balanced, vocals are spot on. This feels like to me an excellent track for film synch. Just has that cool smooth feeling to it, nicely done!!!

Constructive Comments: nothing to add here. very good job

Broadjam Artist: Tommy Stewart
Song: Feels real to me

Reviewer: Marc S. Pate

Positive Comments: Very tasty guitar tone and sound, nicely done.

Constructive Comments: It’s very good, and you are certainly a player but, as an instrumental, it needs a hook or something to come back to, otherwise it sounds kind of like a long jam.

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: 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: 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.
