With a new EP on the way, Charles Wesley Godwin charts his journey so far : World Cafe Words and Music Podcast Plus, the West Virginia musician performs a song from his upcoming project, Lonely Mountain Town, for the first time.

Great performances and conversation with Charles Wesley Godwin about his life and musical journey so far.

"I learned 'My Bucket's Got A Hole In It' off a Cajun teenager named Sal in New Orleans," Crockett recalls. "I learned it and was doing it, and then someone told me it was a Hank Williams song. That happened with everything. S***, I was doing Tom Waits songs that I thought were mid-19th-century spirituals. That happened with him twice; that happened with Dylan 100 times."

I also think about charley crockett telling me about learning "cold water" and thinking it was like an old folk song all the time www.npr.org/2022/09/15/1...

Jealousy ruined this song for Lola Kirke but a member of the band ruined it for @woolyknickers.bsky.social and me. 🤦🏻‍♀️ New episode of Songs My Ex Ruined where ever you podcast.

Joshua Ray Walker, What Is It Even (****): A response to bigoted internet trolls, What Is It Even explodes country music's obsession with performative, toxic masculinity. JRW sings the absolute fire out of Whitney, LeAnn, Lizzo, Sinead, Regina, and turns "Believe" into a country two-step. Essential.
