Raising Cain...

Okay... I know, corny title... Today I want to introduce a band that very few people know about called Cain. This self described "preacher’s-kids-growing-up-in-Alabama, sharing-one-room-all-their-lives, touring-as-a-family-band" consists of Taylor, Madison, and Logan Cain.  They have toured across the US, but just recently started producing Christian music. Their first EP (extended play release) with 6 songs was released this spring and they are are scheduled to tour this year with Zack Williams and We The Kingdom (if this tour resumes this fall we will probably hear more about them, but of course that is all still undetermined).

Cain has some nice songs with good harmonies and an easy listening style that is reminiscent of the 70's pop sound. If I were asked to describe them, I would say imagine the 70's soft rock band, BREAD with sibling harmonies playing Christian themed songs.

The songs on the EP are worth a listen... "Rise Up", "Yes He Can", and "The Commission" are all good and I encourage you to check them out, but perhaps my favorite is Revival:

There are days when I wake up 

And My faith is cold and tired

The light feels so dim

It’s not like me just to give up 

So I’m bringing you my dry bones

Breath in me again 

Need that wind to start blowing

Need these eyes to be opened 

Need my heart to keep hoping

So I’m calling out 

I need a revival 

Feel you moving in my soul

Give me that fire I haven’t felt in far too long 

Holy Ghost come awaken

Bring me back to the days when 

Wonder working power

Was alive in me

I need a revival, revival, revival

and here is the story behind the song "Revival"...
