Song: I’VE BEEN AWAY FROM LOVE TOO LONG bluegrass version

Reviewer: HarryBudini

Positive Comments: Playful and bouncy country thingie, pleasantly acoustic, and acoustically pleasant. Pleasant female voice and pleasant banjo. Did I say pleasant?

Constructive Comments: Maybe just a little shorter, but not, it’s just me, of course, impatiently impatient.

Broadjam Artist: Marc S. Pate
Song: Hana II

Reviewer: Brenda Craven

Positive Comments: This reminds me of something from George Benson…smooth, grooving, and moving. Very impressive! Production and mix on this is PRO all the way. I loved listening to this groove. Trust me… This will be added to my faves playlist. Simply outstanding.

Constructive Comments: I was looking for more of a change-up in the song somewhere. But it’s great as it stands.

Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth
Song: Snowy Mountain Stream

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: Nice behind the beat vocal phrasing and a classic melody/phrasing here much like “Shake Rattle n’ Roll”.

Constructive Comments: Take the effects off the guitar. Listen to Humber Sumlin or Otis Rush for a classic Chicago vibe–clean and dry with a bit of bite. I’d start with the full rhythm section. The guitar solo isn’t very bluesy–again clean up the tone and go for simple phrasing with statement and repetition leave space in. There are a number of timing issues. This could be a really fun tune–the bones are there. Make it tight, concise, and clean!! All IMO of course.

Broadjam Artist: Billy Pilgrim

Song: BALLOONS (Spirit Flight)

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Very mellow and easy to listen to.

Constructive Comments: Only thing for me – would like to hear more variation. Super quality recording but let down by the almost monotonous lack of variation.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: The Wonder Of Autum

Reviewer: Brenda Craven

Positive Comments: I love this piece. Very relaxed feel to this song. Great instrumental choices and the bass on this is spot on. Nice mix and production. All around great song.

Constructive Comments: Since this song is rather short, I’m assuming this is for ad submissions. I would love to hear what you could do with as a full length piece.
