BORN IN SAN JOSE (CA) IN 1955, CHRIS CAIN IS A BLUES GUITAR MASTER. HIS FIRST ALBUM RELEASED IN 1987, "LATE NIGHT CITY BLUES", GARNERED FOUR W.C. HANDY AWARDS NOMINATIONS, INCLUDING GUITARIST OF THE YEAR. ALMOST FORTY YEARS LATER, IT CANNOT BE DOUBTED THAT CAIN'S MUSICAL CAREER CONTEMPLATES ONE OF THE MOST SUBTLE, ENERGY AND ESSENTIAL TRIP THROUGH THE MOST INNOVATIVE BLUES OF A GUITARIST WITH A DESIGNATION OF OWN ORIGIN. IN ADDITION TO BEING A TERRIFIC GUITARIST AND SINGER, CAIN IS A COMPOSER LIKE FEW, HIS SONGS TRANSLATE FOR THE AUDIENCE ALL THE EVOLUTIONARY CHARACTER THAT HAS ALLOWED THE TWELVE BARS TO TRANSIT IN AN ORIGINAL WAY THROUGH A FEW DECADES OF TOO MUCH CREATIVE INSOLVENCY. HIS DYNAMISM AS A PERFORMER HAS ADVANCED WITHOUT PAUSE WITH AN INTERACTION BETWEEN JAZZ AND BLUES AND THE SPIRIT OF MEMPHIS IN WHICH BB AND ALBERT KING ARE PRESENT SINCE HIS BEGINNING, SOME INTENSE AND RECOGNIZABLE RIFFS, A VERSATILE, DEEPLY AND ENTHUSIASTIC VOCAL POWER , ALL OF THIS HAS CHARACTERIZED A BLUESMAN WITH HIS OWN IDENTITY. "GOOD INTENTIONS GONE BAD" IS HIS THIRTEENTH ALBUM AND IS AMONG THE BEST OF HIS CAREER, IT HAS BEEN RECORDED UNDER THE PRODUCTION OF KID ANDERSEN IN HIS GREASELAND STUDIOS IN SAN JOSE AND THE MAGIC IS PRESENT THROUGHOUT THE ALBUM. THIS IS A RECORDING THAT CONTAINS MODERN BLUES WITHOUT ADDITIVES, WITH IMPECCABLE MUSICIANS AND THE HAND OF ANDERSEN GIVING IT AN IRRESISTIBLE FRESHNESS AND PRECISION. CHRIS CAIN IS A BLUES MUSICIAN WITH THE NECESSARY EXPERIENCE TO OFFER FANS HIGH VOLTAGE MUSIC WHILE LEAVING A FUTURE WITH MORE AND IF POSSIBLE BETTER ADVENTURES.
