Reggae creativity with this cool mysterious theme that you capture well in lyrics and vocal prowess Dan. Durge

background melody and mix is really good and fun to hear,like the vocals too

Happier and loungier version of Joy Division.

lots of soul on this one, coming through the vocals.

I'm glued to the vocal 🧲🎶⛓magnetism! Living in a retro verse! Catchy intro vocals remind me of Dire Straits! Infectious tune! Man, am I sorry I had to wait to discover this amazeballs groove!!!! I want to grab the kitchen spoons & start clicking them to the rhythm! Cool impact! Calling MTV & get you honey for nothing & your (sonic) hot licks for fees! ;) Freeze FAME! 💋🥇

#197 Whereabouts Unknown Part !

It's a cops n robbers story.  This is a longer story so this ong includes the first half. We plan to come back to it some time for, as Paul Harvey used to say, "The Rest Of The Story"  Hope you like it! 

Lyrics;
  Put the foot On the floor
Picks it up goes Out the door
Gets away In the car
Drives all day travels far

He hides the face
Finds the place
Stays alone
Looses the phone
He's doing his own time
For his perfect crime
Whereabouts unknown

Temptation is a mighty sin
And someone's out to turn him in
A little bee inside in the hive
But honey's good for nothing 
if you don't come out alive

Put the foot On the floor
He gets the call Out the door
Got the badge Got the gun
He'll fnd the guy that's on the run

Hit the street
Be discrete 
Using tact
He gets the facts 
Bad guy gotta do the time
For committing the crime
His whereabouts unknown

Temptation is a mighty sin
Hands over fists of greedy men
With Intimidation and sound advice
And the Information sells 
at a discount price
The fox had thrown em off the trail
But there's a hound dog on his tail

Will he escape or go to jail
Somebody's gonna fail
Have you seen this man?
Do you recognize 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.
