The R & D Project showcases the variety of songwriting styles by partners Robert Thomas Kuhlmann and Don Jung: from retro-70's classic rock to intimate acoustic performances, even a taste of country.
Bio / Background
The R & D Project is the debut release from Manhattan Beach-based songwriters Robert Thomas Kuhlmann and Don Jung.
The album features 10 original songs co-written by the lyricist/songwriter duo, and performed by Kuhlmann with a host of guest musicians. Kuhlmann and Jung produced the album, along with producer/engineer Chris Hastings.
Kuhlmann and Jung have collaborated on dozens of songs since meeting at a South Bay songwriter's workshop several years ago, and The R & D Project showcases the varied influences of their partnership. From up-tempo guitar driven rock and roll to country-tinged ballads, to folk-blues, the album is a reflection of the pair's musical styles and interests.

Both writers share a passion for well-crafted pop songs with a romantic edge, and the CD features a song cycle that resonates with emotion as it traces the timeline of love: from the intoxicating first glance of I Have to Have You, to the questions raised in Will You Still Change With Me; and eventually, the finality of separation in Goodbye, Lover.
The R & D Project is a departure from songwriter/performer Robert Thomas Kuhlmann's previous solo acoustic release, Confidential Reasons (www.cdbaby.com/kuhlmann). Upon its release, the Village View wrote, "Terrific, pop-inflected songs about love, loss and strength. Come hear why he's a voice to listen for in the L.A. acoustic scene." Kuhlmann is a balladeer whose charm comes across in the simple imagery of his songs. Over the years, he has won over audiences through his live performances, and has proven that he is as much at home performing solo on a barren Austin, TX, stage at SXSW, as he is backed by a full band playing club dates with his rock band, the Last American Heroes.
Don Jung has co-written three songs released as singles by alternative artists and is a former staff songwriter for a music publishing company.
