Cauthen first earned his reputation as a fire-breathing truth teller with the acclaimed roots rock band Sons Of Fathers, but it wasn’t until the 2016 release of his solo debut, My Gospel, that he truly tapped into the full depth of his prodigious talents. Rolling Stone called the album “a triple-barreled blast of Texas country, soul and holy-roller rockabilly delivered by a big-voiced crooner,” while Texas Monthly raved that Cauthen “sound[s] like the Highwaymen all rolled into one." The album landed on a slew of Best Of lists at the year’s end.
