“Chris Cain is the most important blues player you need to hear. Marvelous and irresistible...Cain brings an
indelible touch and resonance to the blues, combining
down-home sentiment with uptown feel. He unleashes
unadulterated fretboard genius.” –VINTAGE GUITAR
“A heady stew of rough-and-tumble electric blues...
potent guitar work and rough, lived-in vocals are
edge-of-your-seat stuff. Cain’s exceptional original
songs relentlessly reveal startling hooks and riffs
amidst a wash of piercing, razor-sharp guitar.” –BLUES & RHYTHM
“Chris Cain is one of the most brilliant and vital
figures making music of any kind...He’s near legendary
on the blues scene...an extraordinarily talented,
consummate musician delivering passionate, heartfelt
vocals, potent, superb playing and marvelous songs.” –BLUES MUSIC MAGAZINE
“Chris Cain,” the great B.B. King declared years ago, “now that
boy can play the guitar.” Today, blues musician, songwriter and
vocalist Chris Cain is playing guitar better than he ever has. “I’ve
stopped overthinking,” he says, “and now just play and sing
what I feel.” With more than three decades of touring and fifteen
previous albums under his belt, Cain, once known as “one of
the greatest guitarists you’ve never heard,” is now celebrated by
fans and fellow musicians alike as being among the blues’ most
talented and exciting players. His original songs overflow with
surprising hooks and feature razor-sharp lyrics that are moving
and humorously insightful. With his powerful, soul man’s voice
and his inventive guitar work—inspired by Grant Green and Wes
Montgomery as much as by B.B. King and Albert King—Cain’s
talents are unparalleled in the blues world. Cain’s new album
(and second for Alligator), Good Intentions Gone Bad, is another
giant leap forward for the man Living Blues says is currently
“turning out the best work of his career.”
On Good Intentions Gone Bad, Cain delivers 13 lyrically fresh
original songs, seven of which add a swinging horn section to
the mix. Produced by Christoffer “Kid” Andersen (of Rick Estrin
& The Nightcats) at his famous Greaseland USA studio in San
Jose, California, Good Intentions Gone Bad is, Cain says, “the
best album I’ve ever made, thanks to Kid.” With Cain leading the
charge on guitar, the band delivers top-shelf performances on
every track. From the humorous, true-to-life title track to the epic,
slow-burning Waiting For The Sun To Rise to the to the Memphis
soul-inspired Thankful (featuring a shared vocal with Cain’s
labelmate, Tommy Castro), the new album finds Cain operating
at the absolute peak of his powers, with Andersen pushing him to
new heights every step of the way.
