Song Reviews
my thoughts
Thanks for sharing your music. What a throwback to a time when innocence seemed to reign. Though it didn't. What a GREAT vibe on this song. Vocals are out front where they belong, the band is tight, obvious they have been in the studio before. Y'all must have had a BLAST in the studio recording this little tune.The extra reverb on your voice was a nice touch to a throwback yr. Thanks and God Bless .

"Fill the Jukebox" by the Diligents
Retro Farfisa like organ introduces this country tale of Honky Tonk life. Think Waylon Jennings with a trace of the man in black in the vocal delivery. The Band hail from Delaware but could be 60s era Tex Mex like the Sir Douglas Quintet. Bet this song would not be out of place in the average Cantina just South of the Border, down Mexico way. Only quibble, production could be just that little bit better, but maybe it was deliberate!

Fill the jukebox
A great song this from the Diligents, it does indeed sound like a 50’s jukebox in the swamps around Louisiana jukejoints. Fill the jukebox has that swampy tex mex greasy cool feel reminiscent of the Mavericks or some other Cajun zydeco gumbo swamp music. I really do like this number and the whole really cool vibe that takes you down to the swampland on a warm summer night with some wine and good food and great music to listen to. I wish you every success with your endeavours, keep up the good work.Well done .

Fill the Jukebox
So nice to hear a bass/baritone singing rich low notes instead of the tenors so prevalent in today's music. The lead vocal is out front, but I believe the vocal harmony could have been more pronounced. 'Fun loving' hips'...made me giggle. Keep writing and good luck with your music.

orecchiabile
orecchiabile e cantato come va fatto con una seconda voce lontana che sta bene. pero' questa canzone ti tiene attaccato all'ascolto anche se l'arrangiamento e' normale ma anche l'inciso e' carino quindi positivo

Fill The Jukebox reviewe
This is a funny song that is very retro in its feel. There are many things that a writer can do with a song nowadays. You can shop it to get a 'record deal' as an artist or you can shop a song to sell to another artist to do. That normally goes through a publisher. This particular song would probably not interest a publisher due to what is being played in today's music market. But, if you have a band with the image and sound similar to this song, you could possibly find a company that may want this 'older' sounding style. As far as the quality of the recording, it could use a remix to freshen it up. It comes off a little too heavy on the reverb and could use a better mix overall. If you are a playing band, keep playing and good luck moving forward!

Interesting voice
The pitch of the lead vocal grabs your attention from the get-go in this entertaining ditty, reminiscent of a bygone era. A nice, tight performance supports the song, which reminds us of Johnny Cash or Waylon Jennings with more than a hint of Stray Cats. There’s more than a hint of pathos in the lyric too; it could be about a pleasant evening, or merely wishful thinking in the boozy aftermath of a broken affair, perhaps. Overall, a very solid effort, fun to listen to, with a catchy, singalong melody. Good stuff!

Easy to listen to
Has a nice easy feel, nice little swing, good vocal, a great filler tune for a listening list. I hope you all like this tune , good instrumental. Good luck I hope it reaches the folks and does well.

The JukeBox: Song of The Diligent.
This is a song similar to the classics of the 50s' the music is very well interpreted by very good musicians who know this genre well, and the bass playing the fundamental, third and perfect fifth gives a better character to the style, the voice very well done with very good audio.

Fill the Jukebox
A song by the Dillengents, fill the jukebox, is a kind of country song with a bit of a difference, probably comes under the heading of Americana, reminiscent of 70 Californian country the likes of Neil Young, Johnnie Cash and The flying Burrito Brothers. Really like the low range vocals, which were placed well in front of the song and as such very easy to understand, unfortunately not all instruments are clear in the mix but the song still stands u well. All in all a nice little tune which stays in your head after a listen

your song
Hi guys, thanks a lot for sending me your song to review it. I like this song very much. It is a relaxed and quiet well written song, I like the fact that it sounds like the old rock and roll times with that voice taking the lead of the best inside the song. The guitars sounding in the left and right channels are very nice, very clean and clear to listen. The song is well produced, keep that great work up guys, many greetings from Germany, Alfredo from King Mambo

Your next one will be great
Definitely different. Very unique voice. The lyric is very simple. I have to wonder what this may have sounded like in a fast dance beat. It isn't exactly lazy river however it isn't a dance step either. Word association? I was lost in the words because they had nothing to do with a jukebox. Different styles for different people. I am a singer/songwriter and publisher. The groove was different. That I liked. May want to go back to the drawing board with lyrics however. Musicians did a great job and the orchestration was well correlated. I will check out some of your other work, as the vocal tone is very unique. Overall. Not a fan of the song. Keep writing and never give up. Best wishes on your future endeavors.

Raw Americana
Wonderfully raw and real. This is the way Americana the way it was intended ala Son Volt, Bluejays, early Ryan Adams. I like the swinging southwestern vibe developed by the guitars. Good solid performance.
