Charles Wesley Godwin – Family Ties

For a while there, Charles Wesley Godwin was in something of a funk. A typically prolific
writer, and one who over his first two critically-acclaimed albums had proven himself to be a
reflective and soulful songwriter and singer — a storyteller in the vein of his heroes like Kris
Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Bruce Springsteen— Godwin found himself in a state of stasis
last year. To hear him tell it, he was frozen in place — unable to find the words to what he hoped
would become his new songs and under a level of pressure he’d never previously experienced.
And yet, what would ultimately inspire the man was right in front of him all along: family.
“I had to get back to the basics,” says the introspective, self-aware artist of what finally set him
and his new songs free. “I decided I was going to write about my life and my family. It’s where
my heart was guiding me: to be super personal and dig right into the weeds of my life.” The
resulting LP, Family Ties —Godwin’s forthcoming third album, set for release on September 22
via Big Loud Records — is a truly stunning achievement, and the culmination of years of hard
work to arrive at this point.
