Lonely Mountain Town: Charles Wesley Godwin

Charles Wesley Godwin’s new EP, Lonely Mountain Town, explores themes of love—be it loving someone, or loving the simplicity of life. Godwin’s haunting voice combined with his aching and intimate lyrics allows listeners to experience the highs and lows and beginnings and ends of relationships. The album begins with the mournful, melancholic title track, “Lonely Mountain Town,” but restores hope in listeners with “It’s the Little Things,” a song about gratitude for the simple beauties of life. “It’s Her Move” takes a lyrical journey across America, reflecting a longing to settle down and plant roots. Lonely Mountain Town concludes with “Hammer Down,” a soulful and powerful ode to perseverance through the hardships explored throughout the album. Lonely Mountain Town is the Americana release that has come just in time for the changing season.
