What a fantastic start to the track.  It settled into slow groove complimented by a solid bass sound.  Vocal was good, sort of John Sebastian-like in its timbre.  The strings added another layer and the Rhodes sound was a good touch.  Overall I enjoyed it quite a bit.  <\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>The only bummer for me was the drums (what drums?).  They sounded very artificial and not actually in time, which took away from the overall sound and flow\/feel of the tune.  Just after the 2:00 mark the song&#8217;s energy dipped to almost dry, which could also be easily remedied, so if there&#8217;s a chance to re-record this with solid drums and smoothing a couple of things out, it would make a huge difference in my opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Bill DakeSong: SPEED OF LIFEReviewer: Bob BirthiselPositive Comments: The opening dissonant piano grabbed me and I was all-in!
