Paul Cauthen (from the album Room 41 available on Lightning Rod Records)
Admitting personal successes and hurdles seems easy for Paul Cauthen as he sings ‘you know I can write a song, you know I can kiss all night’ on “I Can’t Be Alone”. The cut is on the recent release Room 41, the stories all making use of clear words as Paul speaks of love (“Angel”) as his messages urges mercy (“Slow Down”) and sweet release (“Lay Me Down”). The words of Paul Cauthen on Room 41 are the link that connects the songs, his deep vocals granting the role of consoler and advisor. As the tales unfold, the musical foundation of the tracks becomes fluid, shape-shifts between cuts as it sonically finds common ground footing within the diversity of its styles, rhythms, and beats.
The groove of “Cocaine Country Dancing” is as infectious in taking over bodily control as its drug namesake while “Freak” walks on a rubbery rhythm line as jail-mates bond on a devils-dreamscape strut. Paul Cauthen colors outside the Country band lines as he busts a move as “The Big Velvet”, tenderly opens “Prayed for Rain” on gentle acoustics before his voice rolls like thunderclouds guiding the hot in/out breaths of the beat. Room 41 swaggers on a rambling musical interlude as it speaks of human nature in “Give ‘Em Peace” while Paul Cauthen stands tall over a shuffling-deck rhythm that deals out a mighty funk for “Holy Ghost Fire”.
