Raisin' Cain is an album by Johnny Winter, released in 1980 by Blue Sky Records. A retrospective album review for AllMusic by William Ruhlmann notes the mix of rock and roll, Chicago blues, and New Orleans rhythm and blues/New Orleans blues tunes lacks any compositions by Winter.[1] Ruhlmann gave the album three out of five stars and concluded:

The water-treading of Raisin' Cain suggests that a new approach is in order, maybe an outside producer who can bring a different perspective or somebody to look for good songs (instead of the two mediocre ones written by Winter's bass player that are here), if the artist isn't going to write his own material.[1]
