Chris Cain? Now that boy can PLAY the guitar!

Hands down my favorite blues player on the scene today. He’s an absolute
blinder of a guitarist,
with the voice of B.B. King and the chops of Albert King.
—Joe Bonamassa
Chris Cain is a hot-shot guitarist and a singer with the maturity of blues
masters like Bobby Bland and B.B. King.
—The Washington Post

Raisin' Cain features 12 original songs, each showcasing Cain's fiery
musicianship and deft, memorable songwriting skills. According to Cain, who
recently received two Blues Music Award nominations (for Contemporary Blues
Male Artist Of The Year and Best Guitarist), "These are the best pack of tunes
I've ever written. My songs are funky and danceable and my writing is now less
personal diary than in the past. I want my songs to tell universal stories.”
From the rocking opener Hush Money to the instantly relatable Too Many Problems
to the late-night jazzy blues of I Don’t Know Exactly What’s Wrong With My
Baby, the universal appeal of Cain's music is abundantly clear. His songs
deliver uncommon, surprising hooks and riffs coming in rapid-fire succession.
On four songs, Cain shows off his stellar keyboard skills, and on the far-out
instrumental Space Force, he proves himself a funky and jazzy ARP Soloist
player. Along with Cain is his road-tested band -- of bassist Steve Evans and
keyboardist/organist Greg Rahn, with Chris’ touring drummer Sky Garcia and
veteran D’Mar Martin (Little Richard, Rick Estrin & The Nightcats) sharing the
skins. The album was produced and recorded by Kid Andersen (Rick Estrin & The
Nightcats) at Andersen's Greaseland Studio in San Jose, California.
With more than three decades of worldwide touring and 14 acclaimed previous
albums, Cain has earned his reputation as both a fan favorite and a musician’s
musician. Since his first release in 1987, he has created his very own blues
sound inspired by his heroes – B.B. King, Albert King, Ray Charles, Albert
Collins, Grant Green and Wes Montgomery. His jazz-informed blues guitar playing
is fiery, emotional and always unpredictable. His vocals – gruff, lived-in and
powerful – add fuel to the fire. His indelible original songs keep one foot in
the blues tradition and both eyes on the future. The pure joy Cain brings to
his playing and singing is palpable, and draws fans even closer in.
Both the media and his fellow musicians rave about Cain. Guitar Player said,
“Cain is an impressive, top-notch guitarist. His full-bodied tone and big voice
pack a punch that had me reeling.” Guitar icon Robben Ford said, “Chris Cain is
for real. He’s a great blues player with an intensity that keeps you on the
edge of your seat, wondering what he’s going to do next. Plus he knows how to
write a song you haven’t heard before, full of humor and insight. If you like
the blues, you’ll like Chris Cain. I am a stone fan."
With Raisin’ Cain, Chris Cain says he is at a new point in his career. “I’m
playing and writing better than ever before. I can say more with less,” he
says, referring to his dynamic guitar playing and superb songwriting. “I’m as
much a fan as a musician,” Cain says. “And I’m as excited to be making music
today as I was when I was a teenager. More than ever before, I just play what I
feel.”
