Bio / Background
Psychology professor and noted research scientist, Dr. John Kline, puts his music where his mouth is in the newly released CD, appropriately entitled, "Instrumental Conditioning."
In psychology, this refers to behaviors that become predictably patterned by consistent consequences. Baby boomers familiar with the phrase will no doubt relate to Kline's metaphorical choice and arrangement of several tunes. The CD opens with an alarm clock leading into the upbeat, retro “Wakey Wakey”, and ends (as nightly TV programming used to) with an entertaining interpretation of our National Anthem -- the only cover tune.
In between, Kline's compelling blend of Rock, Jazz, Blues, Ambient, and Celtic influences can best be described as “New Age with Edge.” The unique flavor of melodies, textures, and moods is peppered with blazing guitar work, and the appealing compilation flawlessly intertwines infectiously energetic romps and passionate, evocative ballads.

Tasty collectionHB88 wrote on December 24, 2008
John Kline's second CD continues to betray stylistic influences from Steve Morse, which is one of the very best problems an artist can possess. Kline mimics Morse in variety of genre and to some degree in variety of tone. The songs, like those of Steve Morse, possess consistently high melodic content. They sound good, and bear up after repeated listens (as I have unequivocally proven over the past three days). Kline's playing shines on every tune, with "21st Century Bolero" a standout track with its engaging rhythm and infectious hook (hence the name?). "Revised Destiny" and "Apollo" head a long list of favorites.
