Waarom niet eens een weekend afsluiten met een gezellige folk/country/rock - americana dus - oorwurm? Eentje die lichtjes doet denken aan de heartland rock kant van Bruce Hornsby qua sfeer alsook het geluid van de piano. Geniet nog even alvorens de nieuwe werkweek je absorbeert.
Lonely Mountain Town (EP) verschijnt op 28 februari 2025 via White Russian Records.

On new single “It's The Little Things,” Charles Wesley Godwin has written an ode to the simple joys in life. The first sip of coffee in the morning. Taking the extra second to hold the door for someone. Driving around town listening to the radio. Even a quick smile and wave. The types of things so often overlooked in our busy modern lives, but little moments that can make folks' lives just a little bit better. The melody and lyrics came to Godwin one morning in the shower, and he fine-tuned it into the three-minute and fifty-second earworm that is a centerpiece of his latest project, the stunning, seven-song Lonely Mountain Town EP.
In the 17 months since the release of his breakout album Family Ties, whose standout single “All Again” is officially Gold, Godwin's career has been on a decidedly upward trajectory. Appearances on Colbert, Kimmel, CBS “Saturday Sessions,” and even ESPN's Sportscenter. Festival debuts at Bonnaroo and Stagecoach. Opening stadium shows for Luke Combs while the crowds at his own sold-out headline shows swell into the thousands. Instead of dwelling on any chatter that accompanied such a revered release, he did what he always has done: Godwin simply kept on writing. The result of such dutiful persistence was one of Godwin's most prolific years yet: the musician estimates he wrote nearly 30 songs in 2024 and, in the process, most excitingly arrived at Lonely Mountain Town. website
