Whether he knows it or not, every man lives by a code. 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. Taught 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. Cauthen 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. Cauthen’s fifth album, Book of Paul, 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.

“I marvel afresh at Béla’s extraordinary vision, his indefatigability as a creator, his galvanizing presence as a bandleader, and of course, his freaking banjo playing. Live Heart will reverberate through and energize the bluegrass community forever.” – Chris ThileLive Heart: My Bluegrass Heart at the Ryman is a 3LP set that captures one legendary night in bluegrass. On January 8, 2022, in the aftermath of a Nashville blizzard, Béla Fleck was joined by three generations of renowned players who together brought the fire: Sam Bush, Michael Cleveland, Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, Sierra Hull, Edgar Meyer, Justin Moses, Mark Schatz, Billy Strings, Bryan Sutton, Tony Trischka, and Molly Tuttle. The celebrated banjo virtuoso and musical adventurer has both dug deep into his instrument's complex global history and unlocked the breadth of its possibilities. He has earned 19 Grammy awards, and his acclaimed studio album My Bluegrass Heart, was a homecoming in sound. The music Fleck composed for his GRAMMY-winning My Bluegrass Heart is the third chapter in a decades-spanning trilogy that began with 1888’s Drive and the Bluegrass Sessions in 1999. This live record encompasses bluegrass in its core – the intergenerational passing down of music – and is nothing short of a masterpiece in sound, artistry, and community.

Caleb Caudle’s body of work is shaped from the ground up. His artistry has emerged through endurance and the steady momentum of a life in motion, carrying him from small stages in the North Carolina foothills he calls home, all the way to the Grand Ole Opry.
Now, Caudle is entering a pivotal chapter - one of a profound culmination where life and art converge in powerful ways. The recent discovery that he and his wife are going to be first-time parents has added a new perspective, full of the responsibility and wonder that welcoming a child into the world brings.
On his new album, Heavy Thrill, this personal evolution mirrors his artistic journey. He takes full creative control, self-producing for the first time while recording at the storied Cash Cabin in Hendersonville, Tenn., where reverence for tradition meets his singular artistic vision.
“For this record, I wanted to focus on embracing the patina of life,” says Caudle. “Our plans rarely shake out the way we want them to. This record is about doing the most with what you’re given and weathering the storms.”
With the release of this album, Caudle is also launching his own label, aptly named “Handplow Records,” for the steel handplow painted a rusty red that sits in his great uncle’s yard, across the street from his home.
The humble tool was used for generations of tobacco farming in Caudle’s family, its wooden handles worn smooth by years of use stretching back to his great-grandfather. It represents the toil and dedication it takes to do things the hard way - and the sweetness that can yield.

What Have I Got To Lose is my debut album, and it feels like me pulling up my chair to the table in music.I’ve spent years writing songs, finding my voice, and working towards this moment.

The title, What Have I Got To Lose, is about taking the chance to be authentic and unapologetic. This record is me betting on myself and hoping these songs find the people who need them the most.This is the first chapter of my story, and I couldn’t be more excited to finally share it.

Rhythms Unexplained is the debut album from Cincinnati psych-rock band In The Pines guitarist and vocalist Charlie Horn. For his debut solo album Horn wraps these sturdy, sometimes country, leaning rock songs with shimmering, vintage synths (which Horn salvaged and rebuilt) and depthless layers of guitars that imbue these songs with light as Horn tackles a deeply personal loss that haunts most of these songs.Fans of albums of pop songs that pull no punches like Conor Oberst's Ruminations or Big Star's Third should find a fellow traveler here - especially the latter if you are into achingly perfect recordings of someone who has spent a majority of their adult life obsessing over minute sounds but who can also devastate you with a single line. There is a lot of what makes In The Pines such a unique band in this record, highlighting Horn's contributions as a sound-sculptor in that project, but in terms of emotional resonance Horn has his oscillator tuned to sounds that only he can hear.

In today's bluegrass landscape, High Fidelity is the torch bearer for keeping the roots alive. Never Say Goodbye spans 13 tracks - ten secular, three gospel - built on the same foundation that's defined the band since day one: sharp musicianship, tight harmonies, and an ear for obscure Bluegrass nuggets. The title track "Never Say Goodbye" for instance is a Louvin Brothers original that Ira and Charlie never recorded commercially. Corrina Rose Logston Stephens reworked the song's three original verses into two, and the band cut it in a Jim & Jesse-style arrangement. "When It's Time for the Whippoorwill to Sing" features guests Joe Mullins and Mark Rader, longtime bandmates in The Traditional Grass. Highlights include twin banjos from High Fidelity's Kurt Stephenson and Joe, and a high trio on the final chorus.Other highlights: "The Lonesome Road," a 1927 Gene Austin song discovered via the Delmore Brothers' catalog and, to the band's knowledge, never before recorded in bluegrass; "In the City Where the Lamb Is the Light," an a cappella number unearthed through a lifelong friend's old songbook; "Home in San Antone," marking Daniel Amick's first lead vocal on a High Fidelity record; and blazing instrumentals "Cattle in the Corn" and "Fling Ding." The lead single "Red Ball Rocket Train" continues an unintentional High Fidelity tradition, a train song on every non-gospel album. For a song written in 1950, it's a gem with a strikingly unique chord progression.

Across his rollicking new LP Big Jefe, Jack Blocker fully embraces the rough-edged Americana spirit that’s called to him from the start. The 27-year-old singer-songwriter muses on nights out drinking, making mistakes, and life on the road across the project’s eleven tracks. Blocker didn’t set out to make a concept album. During his first winter in Nashville, he started writing a new tune over a few pours of whiskey – one that made him chuckle and feel excited about songwriting again. The song became “Big Jefe,” Blocker’s first ever single that tells the tale of a reckless, drunken miscreant named Jefe, released in 2023. He started dreaming up a world around that story, inspired in part by Willie Nelson’s 1975 concept album Red Headed Stranger, as well as country singer-songwriters like Marty Robbins and Townes Van Zandt.Produced by Patrick Lyons (Colter Wall, Noeline Hofmann), Big Jefe is about transformation. It’s a story about a drifter – a broke drunkard searching for purpose. Drawn into the drug trade out of perceived necessity, he chases opportunity and transforms a struggle for survival into an unlikely rise to power as Big Jefe.

Intervention Records continues it's Sun Records Hi-Fi Series-featuring classic titles from the Memphis label, remastered from original master tapes in the Sun vaults-with a brilliant new MONO Hybrid CD/SACD of Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar!This iconic album, features 'I Walk The Line,' 'Cry, Cry, Cry,' and 'Folsom Prison Blues,' 3 extra tracks not on the vinyl release and restored artwork featuring new liner notes. 'I never imagined that I'd hear the iconic voice of Johnny Cash on Intervention Records!' said Shane Buettner, Intervention Records' founder. 'And I don't think music fans around the world have ever heard Johnny's voice, or Sam Phillips' famous Sun Studio sound, as clearly and definitively as they will on this new mono remaster. This is as close you can get to a time machine back to Memphis in the 1950s!'Originally issued in the fall of 1957-the first long-player for Sam Phillips' Sun Records-Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar! Showcases the stripped-down sound that would make the future Man in Black one of the most enduring and respected musicians of the 20th century. Backed only by his 'Tennessee Two' (Luther Perkins on lead guitar and Marshall Grant on upright bass) and augmented by Phillips' signature studioslapback that gave Cash's 'boom-chicka-boom' sound it's kick, Hot and Blue Guitar! #is the album that introduced many to Cash's sonorous baritone.This CD/SACD features Cash's first three single A-sides for Sun, all self-penned: 'Cry, Cry, Cry,' (a No. 14 country chart hit), 'So Doggone Lonesome' (which peaked at No. 4 on the country charts) and Cash's signature original 'I Walk The Line.' The latter was a No. 1 country smash for six non-consecutive weeks in the summer of 1956 before crossing over into the Top 20 of Billboard's pop charts. Additional standouts include Cash's renditions of fare like 'The Wreck Of The Old 97' and 'Rock Island Line,' as well as a fourth original song, 'Folsom Prison Blues'-which would top the country charts more than a decade later when Cash performed it as part of his landmark 1968 live album At Folsom Prison. Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar! #is the second title in Intervention's Sun Records Hi-Fi Series, offering exquisite pressings of definitive country and rock material from the label's storied discography.It follows the debut release in the series (and Sun's second LP), Dance Album of Carl Perkins. The 1957 album served as a defining introduction to Perkins' pioneering rockabilly songbook, including the standards 'Blue Suede Shoes,' 'Matchbox,' and 'Honey Don't.' ('Blue Suede Shoes,' later covered by Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran and countless others, celebrates the 70th anniversary of it's release in 2026.) Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar! #was sourced from flat transfers of ¼' monaural master reels sourced from the Sun Records archive, which compiled the label's original 7' single masters. This exhaustive research process resulted in the best-sounding tape version of each of the 12 songs on the original album, and the best available sources for the extra tracks.Kevin Gray at CoHEARent Audio mastered the original repertoire tracks, offering crystal-clear audio fidelity that sacrifices none of the spark of the original recordings. The entirety of the original repertoire of 12 songs, and 2 of the 3 extra tracks are mastered directly from Sun's original analog master tapes to DSD. The only existing source for the 'Cry, Cry, Cry' Alternate Take is 16/44 digital but we felt it's inclusion crucial for artistic and historical merit.Gus Skinas at the Super Audio Center prepared Kevin Gray's mastered DSD files for the original repertoire, and mastered the extra tracks in the DSD domain using Gray's mastering notes as a guide.IR's Tom Vadakan beautifully restored the album art, and our CD/SACD features a link to full liners notes by noted Sun Records historian and two-time Grammy Award winner Colin Escott. His liner notes offer rich context on Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar!, from recording to packaging, and how the album planted the seeds for Cash's singular career, spanning more than half a century. '[Hot and Blue Guitar] wasa summary of Johnny Cash's roots and his story so far,' he writes. 'The breadth of his song choices gave some idea of what awaited us in the years and decades ahead.'MONO Hybrid CD/SACD3 Bonus tracks not on the LP version!Original Repertoire Mastered Direct-to-DSD from Original Analog Master TapesMastered by Kevin Gray At CoHEARent AudioSuper Jewel Box Packaging
