From the first verse, this excellent storyteller draws the listener in with the story of a young girl chasing her dream in Los Angeles.  Love the &#8220;welcome to LA&#8221; introduction.  The story is heartbreakingly familiar and true of many who chase their dreams in that town.  &#8220;show some skin&#8221;.  Winding up dancing in a bar.  The phone call that never came.  WOW.  Excellent lyrics.  I really felt sorry for the girl.  The song hit me in the gut.  Bridge is creatively written, placed and sung.  Instrumental augments the story perfectly.  Really pulls in the blues of it all.  Vocal is clear, understandable, believable, passionate.  This song should go far, really far, and I hope that it will serve as a warning to many of the dangers of chasing stardom far from home.<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>I think the intro is a few bars too long.  One run through of that chord progression is probably enough.  Throw in a little of that lead guitar into the intro.  Really, though, this song is about as perfect as it gets.  Bravo. I want to hear more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Greg JohnsonSong: Heartbroke in LAReviewer: Kate CarpenterPositive Comments: This is one of the most POWERFUL ballads I have heard on Broadjam in a long time.
