And for country provocateur Paul Cauthen, that code is simple. Always bet on yourself. A singer-songwriter with a well-documented distaste for playing by anyone else’s rules, the East Texas native spent two decades clawing his way through the country underground, embodying the independent spirit with a monolithic Big Velvet vocal. Fusing classic-country grit, gospel power, and a rhinestoned rock edge, four previous albums proclaimed his singular style with a booming baritone and near-biblical swagger. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaught to sing by his grandfather in a Church of Christ, Cauthen hit the scene with the duo Sons of Fathers in 2009, before My Gospel, Room 41, Country Coming Down, and Black on Black unveiled a vulnerable, fire-and-brimstone songwriter with brazen Texas attitude – craving deliverance, yet possessed by a “bird dog” instinct for theatrical rapture. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCauthen has toured the world, collaborating with Margo Price, Orville Peck, Cody Jinks, and Lana Del Rey. And with favorites like “Cocaine Country Dancing,” “Fuck You Money,” and his GOLD-certified collab with Shaboozey on “Last Of My Kind,” he counts 416 million global streams. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCauthen’s fifth album, \u003cem\u003eBook of Paul\u003c\/em\u003e, takes him further down his path of utterly authentic country music; fearless, proud, and with two middle fingers in the air. Co-writing 12 of 13 tracks, the troubadour confesses to his wild side and wrestles with the sin. He spares no detail – and makes no compromise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Velvet Rose","offers":[{"title":"LP - Opaque Canary Yellow","offer_id":56365040238923,"sku":"R6278-5019","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":56365040271691,"sku":"R6278-1620","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":56365040304459,"sku":"R6278-4115","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/PC_BOP_Cover.jpg?v=1769104914"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_41b68954_thumbnail_4096_2b30b171-70ee-44d0-a7ce-085c1a9241d8.jpg?v=1726575828","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/paul-cauthen.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
