"The resurrection of T.K. Bollinger"

T.K. Bollinger has resurrected. Five years ago he commited himself to release an EP with four songs every month during a whole year, in total 48 songs, a.k.a. the "Ordinary" project. Said and done. He pulled this project through. Some songs were great. Other songs were good, while some songs were not so good. In summary, a typical Bollinger normal distribution when it comes to releasing music. After this monumental project, it's been quiet. Maybe he exhausted himself in the process. But much to my surprise, I received a Bandcamp notification of a new song called "Beyond Bomb". No doom and gloom this time. According the consumer guidance on Bandcamp "it plays on my love of the piano led rock of the 70's and beyond". By the Bollinger yardstick it's life-affirming and uplifting. I sent him an email asking if this was part of something bigger. He replied: "Currently it is a one off for t.k bollinger. I have a huge backlog of songs but more time constraints these days. I have a great bunch of musos I’m jamming with called the Cold Hard Ground. We are releasing 3 singles in the new year. I think you might like it. There are dark country overtones in the mix as we started by playing my old songs. Things are a little more complex in the music now as there are 3 songwriters." I had the opportunity to listen to the masters (not final versions). In my opinion, good songwriting and nice arrangements but only one of the three songs can be characterized as leaning towards dark country. However, we will see what the future brings.
