Paul Cauthen - Cocaine Country Dancing

In 2019, Cauthen released his second solo record called Room 41. At one point Cauthen considered calling the record "Holy Ghost Fire" after that track on the album but eventually settled on "Room 41". The title of the record is in honor of the room number where Cauthen lived at the Belmont Hotel in West Dallas, Texas, for almost two years while he wrote the record.

Paul Mark "Big Velvet" Cauthen (born in 1986) is a singer-songwriter from East Texas. He started his music career in an Americana/indie folk rock duo called SONS OF FATHERS, before turning solo. He has released two albums and an EP as a solo artist, the most recent being "Room 41" released in September 2019. Cauthen is nicknamed Big Velvet for his distinctive baritone voice.

"Room 41" was the culmination of a dark period in Cauthen's life, prompted by the end of a long-term relationship in Wichita Falls, Texas. Cauthen relocated to Dallas and while writing prolifically, went through a period of alcohol and drug abuse.

Today's tune "Cocaine Country Dancing", taken from "Room 41" where the video was filmed at the Electric Cowboy Fort Worth country music venue in Fort Worth, Texas. In September 2019, the video was nominated by the Dallas Observer's Music Awards for Best Music Video
