David Neil Cline by: Jonathan Mariante |

David Neil Cline is a
singer/guitarist who plays straight-ahead hard rock, very influenced
by classic 70's acts like Deep Purple, Ted Nugent, Rick Derringer, Aerosmith,
Montrose, UFO, etc. He is in fact quite a good guitar player( he also
produced and mastered the album), and can crank out some good, classic-style,
hard-rocking tunes. There are fourteen tracks on this album. Some songs
that caught my attention were "Life Under Glass" and "Queen Of The Skyways",
both straightforward hard rockers, the ballad "Miss Minority", "Kassie
Lane", which reminded me of "Rock Candy" by the aforementioned Montrose,
"Good For Nothing", a groovy boogie tune with a 'tude, "50 Foot Amazon"
(cool title-sounds like my kinda woman!), an instrumental where David
shows off his guitar skills, and the really rockin' "First Reaction".
He also threw in covers of the Pat Travers classic "Snorting Whiskey"
and Rory Gallagher's "Follow Me". He does a good job with both these
tunes. If anyone misses good old fashioned rock music the way it used
to be (the way it was meant to be) and is fed up with all the bastardized
versions of it that have infested the music scene for the past ten years
or so, then this is an album to check out. It also says the cover artwork
(very strange indeed) was done by a fellow named Tim Owens. Surely this
is not Tim "Ripper" Owens from Judas Priest?
