I listen all your songs but i like country rain the most.. Keep it up!
Hello, My name is Bob Levoy, and I am a U.S. Navy Veteran and music and concert reviewer. I have written over 3500 reviews since the 1980s for my blog Oasis Entertainment and for independent record labels, PR firms, festivals, venues and bands. I write reviews for all genres, except for hip hop, which is not my cup of tea. In addition to all the independent labels and artists that I have been writing reviews for, I am currently an Author on Staff at Virtuosity Worldwide Arts & Entertainment Magazine, a subsidiary of Virtuosity Worldwide LLC. I write music reviews and do concert and festival interviews and reviews for their magazine. I will still write reviews for my independent artists and labels in addition to the work I will be doing for Virtuosity Worldwide. I do reviews in the following priority: 1. Vinyl (I prefer signed if available) 2. CD's (I also review older releases) 3. Digital Download 4. Streaming only if I don't have any of the above on my desk which is very rare. Streaming takes too much time and some cases with songs running together I am unable to tell one song from another. I would also be interested in reviewing your bands music and reviewing your live performance if you are ever in my area. I do not ask for pay for my reviews, I only ask for either a signed Vinyl or CD and an X-large t-shirt that I wear to promote the bands. You can contact me at one of the links below. Plus, I would love the opportunity to get my vinyl signed the bands.

At the suggestion of a publisher. Changed the bridge lyrics too.
thought that sounded different. I like.
Troy, Just listened to "Who I am" and "Breath Away'". Damn, dude, great stuff Hank
Found you on the Tom Jackson Makeover Blog. Just listened to you guys. Awesome. Keep up the unique music making!
Thanks, Troy!
Hi Troy,I just watched your video of "Just Want To Say Goodbye" It's a beautiful, touching song and tribute.My heart goes out to your sister and your family,much love, Penny
Thanks Penny! That song came out pretty fast and says what I think many people who lost a loved one to a tragedy would like to say.
Yes I know exactly what you mean Troy.So sorry for your loss and this song will help others too I believe in the face of these difficult events.Beautiful song...
Killer tune the "Homebound" Song... well done.... great stuff. Just wrote this tune for the troops coming back home... check it out... Joe http://www.broadjam.com/player/player.php?play_file=36902_553067 1
Thanks for the compliments Joe. Just listened to your song. Love the "boys are back in town" twist and that their band mates!
Thanks, Troy... wanted to make it celebrative... and have a little history of having mutual friends in the Army together. Unfortunately it was Vietnam and they didn't make it back but... I wanted to go for the Friendship, Comraderie and Celebration... thanks for listening. Joe
Nice tune Troy... the Bed of Stone. Well done. Joe
Hola Troy. Thanks for finally pullin' out that tune (Home Bound). Damn, I spent a buncha time searchin' for that great number :) It's my fav on the 6-Pack (sorry all). If you don't win this whole enchilada, I'll be surprised. Best to ya! - spud
Thanks for the compliment Spud! You've done well in the contest yourself. Nice to be in the finals with ya!
Hey, Troy, you had entered one of your songs into the sixpack contest, as I recall it had lyrics, something like " going back to the place I grew up...." or something like that.... (I thought I had recocnized your voice in that song, but can't find it on your page.... for promotion ) ---I'll promote the good ones for now.... great song! regards Floris
Hey Floris, yes that is my song called Home Bound. I have it set to private as it is only a demo and I'll be re-recording it for a new album. I keep some private until they are ready for full release. I have made it public now if you would like to share it. Thanks again!
Hey Troy, Thanks for making that song public. I will promote it tomorrow :)
Oh and now that I listen to it again, Definitely one of your best songs :)
Nice track with Morgan. I'm fine. Love the groove bro!
Thanks Troy! Good luck in the 6-pack!
Hey Stephen, thanks for checking out my music. BTW, which song was it that you listened to that made you connect with me here on BJ? All the best!
What You Want
Dear Troy: please accept my warmest CONGRATULATIONS to you for your Top 20 Finish in the 2010 Six-Pack competition! Nice work! Your songs are thought provoking, original and emotionally stirring and a pleasure to enjoy! all my best, H. Jay Carney
Thanks for the kind words. You rocked this years 6 pack! Congratulations to you too! Here's to your continued success!
Hey Roy! Really digging the "my submissions" status area. Nice to be able to track activity. I would like to suggest adding a checkbox or a color code so we could mark the listings that we have been selected or considered for. It gets pretty hard to "dig" through them to find the ones we've been selected for and track. Just thought it would be helpful if we could mark them some how. Maybe a few color codes, one for the ones we've been selected for, ones we are watching, and one for marking ones that we no longer need to track. Anyway we could get something like that set up in our submission statuses? That would rock. Thanks for all the great work here, to you and the BJ team!
Troy, Great idea....It's on the list. BTW: I will be in Mpls in a couple of weeks.....Roy
Thanks Roy! That will rock! Let me know when your in the Twin Cities. If your schedule allows maybe we can get a bite to eat. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Roy New Christmas track just uploaded hot from the studio. Getting some interest from radio TV over here in the UK. If you get a chance to listen - would love to hear your comments. Would there be any interest in this sort of material in USA? All the best
Congratulations on your recent song placements!
Thank you Ginger!
