Well, Charles Wesley Goodwin would like to persuade one and all that in fact it is the string of little wins – like the first sip of coffee in the morning – that are the things that are worth having in life. Like – a smile, or a lazy day in bed (sweet!) – although he acknowledges it’s easier to say “don’t sweat the big pay day” than to not actually become concerned about it. But…little acts of kindness can’t be a completely bad idea in the world in which we happen to live.
‘It’s The Little Things‘ is taken from the new Charles Wesley Goodwin EP ‘ Lonely Mountain Town‘ which will be out on February 28th. Written principally on the road, Lonely Mountain Town is at its heart a collection of snapshots and quiet moments in life. The sort of poetic musings that find Godwin raking through situations with a fine-tooth comb and peeling back the layers on the most delicate situations thrown our way. “These are character songs,” Godwin explains. “Most of them aren’t about my life. They’re just little pieces that I’ve taken from traveling.”
Godwin is already back on the road – in the States – and is looking forward to dates with Willie Nelson & Family, Bob Dylan, Turnpike Troubadours and Willow Avalon as part of the Outlaw Music Festival in July.
Excellent song from a first rate artist.
