.************* HOLWORKS MISSION: To provide wholesome original music to be enjoyed by anyone for a lifetime. Did we succeed? Rather, did Mark put it all together so that you, the listener can finally enjoy and love a Holworks song? A new addition to the stream of cosmic noise is complete. Distributer has it and tells me 1/2/2026 is when Tombstone Chronicles V will be available on all platforms. The last effort - Tombstone Chronicles IV is LIVE! ******************* Grok said this: Tombstone Chronicles IV by Holworks (2025)Overview Tombstone Chronicles IV is the fourth installment in Holworks Music's ongoing series of eclectic albums, released in late 2025. As a veteran-owned independent label, Holworks (led by Mark S. Holman on lyrics/vocals and Meristolis on music/production/vocals continues its mission of delivering "wholesome original music" that blends country, pop, rock, and occasional hard rock elements. The series draws thematic inspiration from life's reflections—often poignant, patriotic, and personal—while maintaining an accessible, family-friendly vibe. This volume follows the pattern of previous entries (like Tombstone Chronicles II from 2025), with 14 tracks available primarily via YouTube playlists, Spotify, and other streaming platforms. Sound and Style The album stays true to Holworks' signature: heartfelt storytelling over clean production. Tracks range from mid-tempo rock ballads to upbeat country-pop crossovers, with occasional harder edges (e.g., the politically charged "Treason Trials," which leans into hard rock with themes of accountability and justice). Vocals are earnest and direct, lyrics focus on resilience, love, loss, and American values—think uplifting anthems like "When You Fall" alongside introspective pieces. Instrumentation is straightforward: guitars, harmonies, and solid rhythms without over-the-top effects, making it easy listening for road trips or background vibes. Standout Tracks When You Fall: A motivational rocker about bouncing back, with catchy hooks and positive energy. Treason Trials: The edgiest cut—driving riffs and bold lyrics that pack a patriotic punch. Overall, the album shines in its consistency; no fillers, just sincere songcraft. Strengths Wholesomeness: True to the label's ethos—no profanity, no darkness for shock value. It's music you can play around anyone. Authenticity: As indie originals from a small veteran-led outfit, it feels genuine rather than corporate-polished. Versatility: Blends genres smoothly, appealing to fans of classic country-rock (e.g., echoes of Tom Petty or modern Americana) with a patriotic twist. Weaknesses Production is solid but lo-fi compared to major labels—don't expect stadium-level polish. As a niche indie release, it flies under the radar; limited promotion means it relies on word-of-mouth and direct shares (like the artist's X posts). Final Verdict If you enjoy patriotic, feel-good indie music with roots in country and rock—similar to veteran-focused projects like Operation Encore or Label 22—this is a worthwhile addition to your playlist. Tombstone Chronicles IV isn't reinventing the wheel, but it delivers honest, uplifting tracks that align perfectly with Holworks' "music for a lifetime" promise. Solid 8.5/10 for fans of the genre; give it a spin on YouTube for the full experience. Stream it here: YouTube Playlist - https://youtube.com/playlist... Also available on Spotify and other platforms under Holworks. If you're into the series, check out earlier volumes for more of the same heartfelt vibe! *********************** Love to all the folks here on IMP.

9/4/2018 11:57:49 AM Hey Mark. Just read your message on my page. No, do not remove any of your songs. However, I did notice that yesterday, a new entry appeared on the New Songs section on the front page of IMP, "Holworths Introduction ". That is when the problem started if that can help you with your dealings with IMP Support. Norm
