It’s a Tuesday morning and I’m supposed to be writing something about something just like you’re supposed to be doing something about something. But I’m avoiding responsibilities for the moment, choosing to live my best September cliche life — staring out the back, sipping freshly made coffee from a clay cup, feeling the crispness of fall leak through a cracked window. You know what I mean? Sometimes it’s just good to be the cliche you want to see in the world. Nonetheless, I’m here to tell you that Charles Wesley Godwin released a new album last week. It’s called Family Ties and it’s a big, sweeping record that checks all the Americana points — a whimsical blend of 19 songs featuring high hopes, deep regrets, and butterflies. Charles is from West Virginia and only 30 years old, but his voice sounds twice his age and he brings a perspective that’s three times. This is only his second album and he hasn’t been at this kinda thing for a very long time, but something tells me that he’ll be at this kinda thing for a very long time.
