Well, I live in a lonely room
Feels like it's closing in on me
Well, the emptiness is choking me
My eyes, my eyes can hardly see
Here in my room
Just my blues and me
Seems like this gloom and misery
Lord, they just won't let me be
Well, I live in a lonely room
Feels like it's closing in on me
Well, the emptiness is choking me
My eyes can hardly see
Here in my room
Just my blues and me
Feels like this gloom and misery
Lord, they just won't let me be.
Take some influence from B.B. King, Albert King, Ray Charles, and a pinch of Albert Collins. Add in dazzling blues and jazz guitar chops, a rich soulful baritone vocal delivering original, often wry and beleaguered lyrics with sophisticated chord changes and instrumentation, and skills on various horns and keyboards, all delivered with an uptown cool that never lacks searing passion. It all adds up to the one and only Chris Cain, who has gone from being a newcomer phenomenon bursting onto the blues scene in 1987 with a classic debut release, to being a legend, inspiration and long-established member of the blues pantheon.
Upon first discovering Cain in 1987, Guitar Player raved, "Cain is an impressive, top-notch guitarist. His full-bodied tone and surprisingly big voice packed a punch that had me reeling." The Washington Post declared, "Chris Cain is a hot-shot guitarist and a singer with the maturity of old blues masters like Bobby Bland and B.B. King." 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.")
