Charles Wesley Godwin

Charles Wesley Godwin (born May 18, 1993) is an American country-folk musician from West Virginia.

He describes his musical style as inspired by "...artists such as Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, John Prine, Chris Knight and Ryan Bingham".

His second project, How the Mighty Fall, was released in 2021, and was also received positively, being described as less autobiographical and more focused on telling other people's stories, compared to his previous record.

The track list included covers of Chris Knight's "The Jealous Kind" and Bryan's "Crooked Teeth," as well as live versions of several songs from How the Mighty Fall.

"10-38", written by Godwin, is a direct sequel to Bruce Springsteen's 1982 song, "State Trooper".
