The song has a great blend of country and Caribbean music which actually seems like it shouldn&#8217;t work but it does &#8211; really well.  A very original feel to a foot tapping country song. This song has great potential.  <\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>Not criticisms, just my subjective thoughts:I thought the main vocal track could have been more to the front of the song as the lyrics are key to the Jamaican feel of the song.  The chorus\/hook has a really strong and catchy melody which works great with harmony but I have marked it down a little because it sounds similar to other songs but could stand out more if it contained more in terms of lyrics. Instead of repeats or ooohs, perhaps another line or two using some of the most obvious rhymes ready to choose\/lose\/blues\/cruise etc&#8230;&#8230; But none of this detracts from the fact that it is a great song and I love it!!  Good luck with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: william r floydSong: Caribbean BluesReviewer: Bob BentleyPositive Comments: Great instrumentation, fine vocals and harmonies put together in a high quality production.
