[eddgong]

here here ,to all the above, just close your eyes ..... and nuff said been diggin this man but never fortunate to catch him

[puffinonindo]

hes not famous because he plays blues

[nickbarcenas]

theres way better blues guitarist then this guy.. by far stevie ray vaughan for one even though he's not alive rest in peace alvin lee will murder this foe on guitar no doubt but this guy has something specail though i think he's wonderful but there is no best it's all based upon opinion because theres always someone better plus you can't but that kind of subtitle on music, music can't be rated by who's the best it's just virtually impossible it's all opinion.. everyboyd has like and dislikes.

[puffinonindo]

@nickbarcenas you've never seen chris then.. theres a level that he shares with all the other greats

[DaDaftDuo]

Sounds just like BB king on steroids sound just like him!

[travelbydragonfly]

If there's a better blues guitarist out there I don't know who it is. Robben Ford? I think he lacks the passion of Chris Cain.

[cgabler91191]

Wonderful post - awesome blues guitar and singing! Even acknowledged by Joe Bonamassa as great to listen to!

[blumuze2]

The question was asked: "Why isn't Chris a household name?" Because he isn't 20 years old and broodingly handsome. If he were, he'd be a sensation.

[xflyingtiger]

@blumuze2 Either is BB King.

[markmarktarmann]

@blumuze2 Chris isnt a legend(yet)cuz in blues it takes as you say a couple of lifetimes also touring 300 days per year like BB & the rest. Chris can stay home, play W. Coast&local gigs & most of the year & make a living. we toured 6 or seven weeks, 15 cities from Salt Lake to Montreal to N.M. Hard grind, but not 300 one nighters. & tho he is probably the best,and certainly the most prolific blues song writer since Willie Dixon,he'll never get airplay even if he writes another "thrill is gone".

[blumuze2]

If I were blind I'd believe I was listening to BB. Only the amazing guitar playing would give it away; like BB, but better.

[1smokinLesPaul]

With sheerluck and sander, here because of Joe Bonamassa's "like" on facebook. I love it when you get a recommend from another musician you highly repect. What a talent, I'd love to catch him live.

[sheerluck]

Unnoticed no more perhaps -- -Joe Bonamassa just 'liked' Chris on Facebook....let's hope the spotlight swings in the right direction and Chris gets the accolades he so truly deserves!

[sander151187]

@sheerluck Came here because of Bonamassa's 'like'. Not disappointed at all ;)

[SRVMOE]

Chris plays with so much soul and passion

he almost seems black.....Heavy on BB & Albert King

in style....simply masterful !!!!!!

[76Soco]

Blues guitar doesn't get any better than this. Highly underrated player.

[Stringprodigy]

This guy is a huge influence on Joe Bonamassa.

[jayfarmer]

Bring this man on stage real quick!! This surely is a well kept secret...up untill now

:-)

[EADGGuy]

I had to take a second look to see if B.B. King was singing. Awesome player and singer!

[taildragger51]

Sweet, sweet tone and REAL blues feel.

 Chris is gifted.

[impala666]

Chris is one of the most soulful and technically gifted blues players on planet earth....ever.

[RockysGems]

Saw him in Peoria last night. How does a guitar player like this go unnoticed? Phenomenal! I didn't catch the name of his current keyboardist, but he was as amazing as Cain. Top notch!

[impala666]

it still pisses me off Chris Cain isn't a household name. He's fantastic.

[zackyman92]

My God, this is the first i've ever heard this guy!

This is unreal! What playing! What a voice! DAMN!!!

[pickmaster]

Just f***n GREAT!

Love this guy.

[Twistchawa]

I retract my statement. . . This is the best blues I have ever heard. With a voice like B.B.'s and playing which is for the most part all your own, I think you could take the blues anywhere you wanted. And Chris is DEFINATELY doing that

[Twistchawa]

Some juicy JUICY jazz-flavored blues licks in there. . . This is some of the best blues I've heard in a long time

[Bluezzer22]

Those Humbuckers arn't humming, there SINGING!

[cedarblues]

Wow Chirs Cain can play some mean Blues! it's like listening to Albert King and BB at the same time! Can't wait to see you again when you come to town.

[waylay00]

Chris, you are an awesome player!

[waylay00]

OK, nevermind, I thought this was Chris's personal page.

[fredpg]

Not excellent, one of the greats!!!

[ZappaBlues]

Holly Shit! I'd never heard of this guy until someone mention him on a guitar forum. So I googled Chris Cain and this is what I came up with. Far out.

[Tonio77s]

I love Chris Cain's amazing feeling. He's an authentic musician . Thanks for these amazing vids .

[Cmac317]

Chris Cain the Man!

[jacobbyrd995]

man thats my cousin

[HendrixIsGod47]

Man! He's an incredible player and if I wasn't looking at the screen I could have sworn that was B.B. King singing! It's a shame that he's not super famous even in blues circles! Damn

[f8p4]

very good!!

[jacobbyrd995]

chris cain is my cousin im going to see him this summer

[jamesglendenning]

I know ya cousin very well and im in Sydney Australia, Chris is very well respected here in Australia

[hedges2]

Chris Cain IS BB King.

[lovemusic147]

bb wishes he could play like that

[ltfunko]

I'd give this 6 stars if I could. One of my all time favorites, since the Unscheduled Flight album.

[ledzeppelinrulesya]

chris cain has got SOUL. beautiful guitar playing. I saw him once at a big bluesfestival it was a shitty rainy day and i was rather unimpressed by the other non-bluesy acts but all of a sudden i heard some of the sweetest guitar playing conceivable and was drawn to the stage and totally blown away.

[jleyhe]

This is the Chris Cain video that I come back to watch OVER and OVER again, he's SO great.

[nuuhiwa]

Not since Stevie Ray Vaughn have I been moved by a blues player like this guy. The blues is alive and well today thanks to Chris Cain.

[SDPickups]

Chris is a Guitar GOD, not enough players know about him, he is just an astonishingly talented player and song writer. He inspired me to work on good sounding humbuckers, which I could have cared less about until I heard Chris play for the first time. OK, buckers CAN sound good, he's living proof...

[deadhornetblues]

Amazing!

[toadboy2400]

His bass player, George Lacson, also plays with John Lee Hooker Jr.

[toadboy2400]

Its nice to see Chris paired up with one of the best bass players in the business, George Lacson. He's on the right with the long hair and sunglasses.

[jleyhe]

I totally agree, I know that of course it's all opinion but there's something about him... he's awesome

[KENZOWAL]

I have seen this man live three times since this past July and have been totally blown away each time. You run out of superlatives trying to describe him. For my money, Chris is simply the finest Blues guitarist AND singer I've seen since Stevie Ray Vaughn in the 1980s. When he gets rolling on stage some kind of spirit comes down from Heaven and inspires him. A major, major, underrated talent.

[Snake7Plissken]

@KENZOWAL Well there mister, there's this dude Buddy Witthington, ever heard of him? And of course there R plenty of fantastic guitarists out there that can play the blues... thousands and thousands gifted around our Globe that never ever gonna be recognized for their skills...

[millerlabs]

Chris Cain is the best blues musician ever!! This video gives a sample of that; live, is unbelievable.

[mep10]

I'll second that..Yowza !! It's Great to Cain on YouTube. I always thought it was the booze that made feel so good after all the CC shows.

[mojogypsy]

Lemme say it again... Yowza...!

[mojogypsy]

Yowza!!!
