Godwin goes lives, releases three songs
The 23-song record, cut one year ago in Pittsburgh, will be preceded by a three-song sampler today of "Cue Country Roads," "Family Ties" and "Hardwood Floors."
"I'm so pumped to share the live show the boys and I have curated in bars, clubs, theaters, amphitheaters, arenas and stadiums over the last several years," Godwin said. "There's just something about the energy of a live crowd that you can't replicate in a studio, and I think that shines through on this album in a big way. Stage AE was a special place to be on Sept. 14, 2024, and come Sept. 26, 2025, everyone can experience it with us. Let's go."
"Live From The Steel City" will feature songs from his most recent studio album "Family Ties" (2023), like "All Again," "Another Leaf" and "Miner Imperfections;" tracks from 2021's "How The Mighty Fall" ("Jesse," "Temporary Town," "Strong") and "Seneca" (2019) including "Hardwood Floors" and "Seneca Creek." The album covers Tyler Childers' "Whitehouse Road" and John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads."
The track list is:
1. Cue Country Roads
2. That Time Again
3. The Jealous Kind
4. Miner Imperfections
5. Strong
6. Temporary Town
7. Sorry for the Wait
8. Dance in Rain

CD reviews for Charles Wesley Godwin
Sometimes the best, most universal songs come from intensely personal perspectives; it's proof that we all go through the same stuff, whether we realize it or not. Charles Wesley Godwin has apparently been through the wringer over the last several years, including the stillbirth of his son in 2024, and he's promoting this new album as a redemption, a back to basics song cycle that hits upon loss, love, faith and doubts over the course of its dozen tunes, turning those specifics into ...
If "Live From the Steel City" is indicative of a typical Charles Wesley Godwin concert, then it's safe to say you get your money's worth at such an event. Clocking in at just under two hours, Godwin somehow manages to keep the band's energy and the audience's enthusiasm up the entire time. The in-between songs patter about how great the Pittsburgh pro football team is obvious pandering because any objective football fan knows the Steelers are mediocre at best. ...
