James Cain moved to the Metroplex area from Nashville, Tennessee several months ago and is quickly developing a following.  This is his 3rd time to perform on the CMR. 

More about James Cain:

James Cain is a no nonsense, tell it like he sees it, country music songwriter and singer.  He has been a staff songwriter for several publishing companies in Nashville, has appeared on Fox News singing to soldiers and their families as they were deploying to Iraq and has shipped countless supplies of albums and t-shirts to our troops in Iraq.

James can write a song at the drop of a guitar pick and has an extensive catalog to prove it.  He's had songs recorded by George Jones, Willie Nelson and Jerry Lee Lewis and has had countless cuts by independent artists. Major artists who have had or have "holds" on his songs include the late great Chris Ledoux, Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Montgomery Gentry, John Michael Montgomery

But no one sings a James Cain song better than James himself.  He delivers a style of hard-hitting, take-no-prisoners vocals that has made American country music loved around the world.  He has been compared to Keith Whitley, Randy Travis and Trace Adkins, he is not a copy of anyone.  He is very much his own man, whether writing or singing.

But, please, don't take my word for it.  Check him out on CD Baby and or Youtube (See links below.)  If you like what you hear come check him out on the Country Music Revue, on Saturday, September 10th at 7:30.  Tickets $8 for children, $15 for adults.  Call 817-226-4400 for reservations.
