This is a wonderful, big-voiced, contemporary West Coast bluesman and superb guitar player. There are several horns in the band, giving it a great, huge sound. Even better things will be coming.

This record doesn't get enough credit. The tunes are great and the playing is tight. Cain's guitar playing is top-notch and will have you shaking your head over and over again. Lizz Fischer's keyboard's are smooth as are the drums and bass. This is a lesser known band and this record is a little hard to come by, but well worth the effort!
The eclectic creativity of Cain’s music owes something to his mixed background. Part Greek, part African-American, he was imbued with a love of the blues by his father who grew up on Beale St. in Memphis. Thus inspired, Cain took up the guitar at the age of eight. Studying at San Jose City College, he developed his precocious talent absorbing different techniques and influences as a multi-instrumentalist, playing piano, bass guitar, clarinet, alto and tenor saxophones…

Chris Cain has a worldwide reputation as one of the truly great blues guitarists of his generation, touring and releasing critically acclaimed albums for over 30 years. The 2018 winner of the Blues Music Award for Best Instrumentalist Guitar, he's an intense, jazz-infused player who adds gruff, commanding vocals and a sharp songwriting wit. The twelve original Cain compositions that make up 'Raisin' Cain' are a head-spinning showcase of raucous blues, horn-driven romps and moody, after-hours laments bursting with skillful songwriting, deep, expressive singing and sparkling, amazingly inventive guitar playing.
