“Peace and Love” is a plainspoken hymn to everyday goodness—asking for the simple things that make a life: kindness, sunlight, a steady walk, and the courage to keep going. Verse by verse, it widens from affection for “people like you” to a broader moral compass—strength, memory of right and wrong, and faith that holds when the highs and lows trade places. The bridge (“easy come, easy go”) grounds...

As it turns out, my little staycation has resulted in a musical creation, or shall I say "recreation." How fitting is that? I decided to remake a tune that I first released back in 2010 on "I of the Storm." I played all of the instruments on that version as well. Mark Christianson played drums on a version in 2018 on "Spontaneous Design." The isolation booth in the new studio space works great, an...

I think that the fact that I performed the lead guitar track on an Ibanez PM1000 says a lot about Pat Metheny's influence shining through in this piece. Magnus Brandell performed some tracks that Paul Wertico himself would admire. For some reason, I really vibed with these drum performances, so thanks to Magnus and Per for making these jewels of creative inspiration available. I performed acoustic...

A remake of a Gritty guitar-driven Blues Rock with soulful vocals that was originally released on "Flipside" over 20 years ago. . John Kline - Guitars, piano, bass, vocals, songwriting, arranging, engineering, production. Magnus Brandell / Oddgrooves - DrumsYesterday evening I re-sang this remake of a Gritty guitar-driven Blues Rock tune that I wrote that was originally released on "Flipside" over...

Portmanteau, anyone? A journey of sound a spirit, beginning with minor chord motion exploration on the piano, some contrapunctal bass, and some improvisation on guitar. For some reason, I also like the Oddgrooves ECM package on this one too. It imparts a frenetic energy to a classic lament. PRS Hollowbody II and UAD2 plugins along with the synth tracks simultaneously triggered with a Fishman Tripl...

More whimsical comprovisation with Magnus Brandell. I began with a diatonic seventh sequence in C major alternating with some major / minor motion on the piano. Then, I added some bass. Finally, I improvised over this until I was comfortable, composing a head of sorts, then used some scales that Tom Thomas would call "diseased" with the electric guitar, a hard-tailed Ibanez Jem through a BK Butler...

A bit of wandering romp, partly composed, and partly improvised, around the drum stylings of Magnus Brandell / Oddgrooves. Specifically, the ECM package and Slate Drummer 5.5. I reacquainted myself with some old friends: My Mesa Boogie rig that I refer to as "Tube Goldberg," and a Roland JV1010. At one point, the Mesa made some analog noise that was entirely unplanned. It seemed to fit, so I left...

My intention was to recreate from remote memory "Creature Comforts," which I released on my 2014 "Downward Facing Dogs" album. The obvious pun in the title reflected a period of isolation and challenge, and the mood that I endeavored to create was far from the mood that the original composition / improv imparted. To be honest, when I listened back to the 2014 piece, I said to myself, “Good God, ma...

My first comprovisation of 2024, featuring drums by Magnus Brandell / OddGrooves. The ECM package was just what the doctor ordered for this piece. I think I would classify this as Jazz. What do you think? I wrote this and played guitars, guitar synth, keyboards, and bass. The PRS Hollowbody II got all of the love this time. Still favoring the Fender Jazz bass for bass parts. I love how accurately...

A mental vacation of playfully interlaced instrumental motifs/ John Kline (guitars, bass, keyboards) Magnus Brandell / Oddgrooves (drums)

Written, performed, engineered, and produced entirely by John Kline (guitars, keyboards, bass, drums). Butterflies are a symbol for metamorphosis, change, adaptation, transformation, and our very life energy.

This is the title track from his 2010 album, "I of the Storm." John Kline performed both tracks on a Taylor 814C and wrote about himself in the third person in this sentence.

From our 2017 Genus Equus album. John Kline (guitars, bass) and Mark Christianson (drums).

To Irina, with love. Written and performed by John Kline (vocals and guitar). I sometimes write sappy ballads. This one is my favorite. From our 2019 "A Thousand Words" CD.

From our "Spontaneous Design" album released in 2018. Mark Christianson on Drums. John Kline on guitars and bass.

John Kline (guitars, guitar synth, keyboards, bass) and Mark Christianson (drums) with some experimentation that soothes the ears. You can definitely hear John's Pat Metheny roots on this one. Ask Mark to tell you about his drum track sometime.
