so of course their "voice" is going to be what hits you right off when you listen to their records. I've said for a while now Dam is better suited to working with a real song writer/vocalist than he is as a solo act. I mean I love a lot of his shit but I think he's a producer more than an act. Funny you mention Jam and Lewis because I feel much the same about them. And like J&L their playing style doesn't step on the toes of the people they work with... it's a subtle style that is taylor made for writing/producing for others. I feel they both have a signature sound too... I can hear a Dam or Jam and Lewis groove and know right off who it is.
