Lyrics;
Hound dog hot on the scent
To where the thieving fox went
He's chasing down that miscreant
And he never will relent...
Put the foot on the floor
The hound dog is at the door
Runs out the back real fast
But his escape won't last

The law man
had cuffed his hands
Cuffed them tight
and read him his rights
He'd caught him just in time
To commit a perfect crime
Their whereabouts were unknown

Temptation leads to mighty sin
No one's around to turn him in
For pocketing a cash advance
A fortune made from circumstance
 
Put the foot
on the floor
Their both inside
And he's locked the door

Makes him talk
And finds the stash
He's gonna carry out all of the cash

Throws it in his car
Lights up a cheap cigar
But you can't leave a witness
When he knows who you are

The fox is still lying there
Somewhere deep under the stairs
Price was paid
I'm afraid
Buried for all time
Victim of a perfect crime
Whereabouts unknown

Temptation lead to might sin
The hound dog's never seen again
Good guy goes bad and that's the spin
For him a new hunt will begin
His whereabouts unknown

Have you seen this man. We're searching for this man...

Dan X2 is Dan Blackard (Reno, Nevada & Susanville, California) and Dan Lockhart (Carmel, Indiana & Edwardsville, Illinois).  We met here on SoundCloud.  We like making music together.  We have written and published over 300 songs together.  More songs written together than Lennon and McCartney.

We play the music that comes to us.  Much of our music has a basis in blues and rock.  Although we venture into other musical territory.  You will find hints of jazz, country, bluegrass, soul, classical, and other music in our songs.  We have a number of songs that change time signatures and pace.

When we first started recording we called ourselves Dan and Dan. 
 You can find our music under that moniker here:
https://soundcloud.com/user-590884876

We stopped using the name Dan and Dan's because there were to many other Dan's using that name.  If you google Dan and Dan we would not show up.  We believe that Dan X2 to be a moniker that we could own.   If you google Dan X2 we are right at the top,

We have a music making process that fits our unique skills.  We each do the parts that best fit our skills and interests.  Dan Lockhart does the initial song development.  Dan Blackard writes the lyrics, perform the vocals, and adds lead guitar.  Dan Lockhart then takes the track and do all final production (mixing and mastering).

Dan Lockhart writes all of the chords, timing, changes, and develops the track.  I then send two tracks to Dan Blackard.  One track has Dan L. describing the song.  Tell him the key, the timing, and any oddities about the song (changing keys or time signature...).  In the track Dan L tell Dan B verbally where is the verse, chorus, bridge and any other important information.

Dan Lockhart then send a second track that does not have this verbal dialogue.  This is called the instrumental track.  This is a track to which Dan B. can sing and add his parts.  Dan Blackard then returns  four pieces to Dan L:  a complete version of the song, a solo track of his vocals, a solo track of his guitar parts, and the artwork to accompany the song.

Dan Lockhart add his information into the original file.  Dan L. listen to it and make changes to the song to enhance the meaning of the lyrics. He sometimes adds instruments or takes away some instruments.  As Dan L. play many instruments (guitar, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, violin, viola...), he can make a lot of adjustments.    On rare occasions he move pieces about.  Dan Lockhart then masters it and prepare it for final production.
