"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

• His jazz-informed blues guitar playing is fiery, emotional and always unpredictable, while his vocals are gruff, lived-in and powerful.

• Cain has earned praise from fellow artists throughout his career; upon first discovering him in 1987, Guitar Player raved that he was an "impressive, top-notch guitarist."

• With Alligator Records debut album Raisin' Cain, Chris says he is at a new point in his career where he feels he can "say more with less."

• The record features twelve original Cain compositions that range from deeply autobiographical to humorous to jazzy late-night blues. 

• Joining Alligator Records is a dream come true for Cain who grew up idolizing label giants like Hound Dog Taylor and Son Seals.
