WOW!!! Chris Cain with Cody Wright and Sky Garcia jamming at Norman's Rare Guitars

[@martinvogel7041]

I went nuts for Chris Cain in a club SoCal 1988. Have 2 albums. Bless you for bringing him back. Also saw him in a lounge San Jose.

[@red5685]

Great!!!!! Thanks Norm and all who make this happen!!

[@timkbt]

They killed it!!! One of the best I’ve ever heard on Norms

[@funkyjones]

I met Chris in Jazz Improv at San Jose City College in '79 I think it was. Even before we played, he stood out. He was wearing a dress shirt, blazer, round sunglasses and paperboy hat worn low with the brim touching his sunglasses, suggesting his shy demeanor. It looked like he came straight out of the 1940s and he would coyly sit crouched in his chair caressing a Gibson Birdland waiting to blow our minds. On the first day we all soloed over some blues changes and pretty much everyone sucked until it came to Chris. Even before he got to bar 12 everyone's jaw was on the floor. I doubt anyone in the room had ever heard blues guitar that good. I'm not kidding. Even back then he sounded like a cross between BB King, Robben Ford and Wes Montgomery. Everything he played was golden. I even remember one time during some performance he played bass and blew everyone's mind with a solo he took. He was really into Robben Ford at the time and would always be talking about his "Robben Tapes". They were a shoe box full of cassettes of live recordings of Robben playing in clubs around town. He would pour over them for hours and cop all his licks. I went to his house once to jam and his bedroom walls were plastered with all of his heroes. He played me a tape of a bass player, drummer and himself that was tight as hell. I asked who the other players were and he said they were just a couple of friends that weren't musicians but he taught them how to play a few days before the recording...lol. Unreal. Not only that but he's probably the most humble and kind person I've ever met.

[@DonnieDarko727]

Wow

[@looseandjanglingproductions]

I have a similar tale to tell from SJCC, early to mid 80s. Chris wore all that + some Chuck Taylors, and the instructor (first Darrell Johnston, then Dave Eshelman) would often sit Chris in front of the class to trade fours with us. Chris had a 335 when I knew him. I asked Chris for record suggestions, and he said "Hoodoo Man Blues by Junior Wells and Buddy Guy on the Delmark label" and "The Yellowjackets first album, with the yellow record jacket". The latter of course featured Robben. Good times. He truly was a decent and humble cat back then, and it certainly seems his global successes haven't changed that. I haven't seen him since 1990 or so. I took Jazz Improv every semester I attended SJCC...sometimes that's all I took. I worked sound for his band many times when they played Barney Steels in RWC, a master class every time.

[@funkyjones]

@@looseandjanglingproductions Yeah, the 335 came later. That's cool you ran sound for his band.

[@looseandjanglingproductions]

@@funkyjones Chris Cain Band had Noel Catura on sax back then :)

Oooh Chris what a voice and guitar. I thought it was Albert right there. Thnx Norm u get the talented young musicians mixing it with the established ones. Your love of vintage guitars doesn't mean u r stuck in a time warp. That takes vision. I guess that's why Norman's Rare and Vintage Guitars is a hub and magnet for guitar lovers worldwide.

[@jgdroptop1]

[@glenkepic3208]

Slammin' !!! Fan of Chris for a while. Thanks for the exercise....had to find Cain Does King for "Whole Lot Of Lovin'" and fire up the JVC stereo (yes, cops called years ago). Worked great ! Best track of the disc for me, Hummingbird, second. Keep on Keepin' on Chris !

[@boss123400]

👍🤘🤙 He says the name of the song is "Cross Cut Saw" by Albert King.

[@TheCatfishcheese]

That was very cool. Great vocals/guitar.

[@joseluissanchezcruz3697]

Excelente, que ritmo es ese?

[@boldstrike]

Its clear Cain was formatted by Albert king sound as a kid, his feeling playing is based on that format which is nice to see.

[@evanschroeder8411]

Well he is playing an Albert King song...

[@boldstrike]

@@evanschroeder8411 yes indeed but he was friends with Albert King as a kid so he heard all that stuff and stayed registered on his mind which is how humans brain work, now he is just letting it come out. I find it awesome

[@belo1971]

What a great blues to watch at 6:30 AM Sunday before work at hospital here in France ! Kind regards from France Norm and Chris ....

Caaaaaaainnnnnnn!!!!!

[@Raff1795]

[@mattrogers1946]

Try Albert King

[@JWILSON1971]

That was Awesome like really above the norm. Most Guitar players with Blues knowledge would Love to just have a couple good licks from Cross Cut muchless all of them and the turn a rounds. You can see it all just pour out of Mr. Cain. He is the Song He's not just playing the Song. True tallent. Bravo !

[@jaimedolcesinnersole]
