Dax - Lonely Dirt Road [Music Video Review] October 11, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Alternative, Rock, Pop, Country Rating: 4 out of 5 “Dax is a versatile artist adept at conveying emotion via a variety of genres, but you can always hear and feel the passion fueling his artistry. ’Lonely Dirt Road’ straddles that line between the Rock and the Nashville style of modern Pop Country. The delivery is deliberate and emotive. A few times I craved a touch less production on the vocal side because I have faith Dax could have delivered these emotional words straight up with quite so much production coloring the sound. That said, this is a track that is accessible to all and one easy to feel as much as you hear.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger

Dax - Dear Alcohol [Music Video Review] March 11, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious Rating: 4.5 out of 5 “Dax is no stranger to visitors here at LA on Lock, and as long as he keeps putting out passionate music we will continue to share this videos and be fans. ‘Dear Alcohol’ is a slower tempo track with less anger and a more reflective emotional nature than many of Dax’s hard hitting singles, but that is not to say this song does land with its own force. We all need to stop and take time to reflect on where we are emotionally at times, and this track is about that and the realization we often use alcohol or other things to hide from what’s really plaguing our minds. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger

What did you expect when dumb people got smart lines.
