TROY KLINE /// With a god-given talent for singing , fame came too quickly for a small town kid from Eastern Washington. Ruggedly handsome with a voice that can amaze, uplift and simultaneously infuse a listener with a sublime melancholy, Troy was discovered in 1993 by the Chippendales. Overnight he was thrust onto the international stage as lead singer on their '93 European tour. Troy grabbed the wheel of his instant fame and raced headlong into a world of stardom, adrenalin, drugs and unlimited sexual opportunities – only to crash and burn spectacularly against his personal limits and the profound conflicts of his inner psyche. His gripping book “Chippendales, The Naked Truth” with co-author Joe Bice, recounts these inner conflicts and incredible experiences, and is currently available on Kindle. And what of Troy Kline, the Voice?? Schooled with years of fast living and hard knocks…… blessed with an incredibly versatile and commanding voice…..infused with a deep love of great torch singers of yesteryear; Etta James, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole… ?? TROY KLINE "CROONER" presents a beautiful set of late night torch songs and jazz moods. The spare, intimate setting of this recording and the elegant accompaniment of his expert jazz trio highlight Troy’s sensitive and life-honed interpretations. A collection of beautiful chestnuts (“Blame it on My Youth”, “At Last”) co-mingle with lush interpretations of contemporary songs (“I Can’t Make You Love Me”, “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?”). Pianist Bill Anschell, bassist Doug Miller and drummer Steve Korn provide impeccable artistic support for a disc that is sure to be a disc on many a CD player at the end of a romantic evening. Please enjoy the previews of this album, and also check out Troy’s new release “Please and Thank You”, presenting an infectious toe-tapping set of Troy’s swinging original love songs!
