Unscheduled Flight
Guitarist Chris Cain has some stories to tell on hisUnscheduled Flight, and each song is a masterful combination of vocal and instrumental elements. Most of Cain's tales deal with agony of being born under a bad sign.... Cain describes the situations with poetic empathy.... Cain's lyrics avoid trite emotions and situations; in "Do You Call That a Buddy," a slow blues about a friend who repays the singer's generosity by stealing his woman, Cain focuses on the disintegration of the male friendship rather than the tired-and-true themes of love triangles or wrong-doing women.... He can also play lyrical lines, as emphasized in the funky "Bad Situation," while other songs find him bending notes or making them squeal....Unscheduled Flightproves that Chris Cain can do it all--write, arrange, play, and sing--with all the sincerity and power that the blues demands. --Living Blues
