Review

Well, let me tell you about Charles Wesley Godwin's latest album 'Family Ties'. This guy's got a real talent for tugging at the heartstrings! The album's packed with 19 tracks that dive deep into family life, relationships, and all the messy, beautiful stuff that comes with it.

I love how personal this album feels. Godwin's written songs for his parents, his kids - even one called 'Gabriel' for his son. It's like he's inviting us into his family photo album, you know? And the music? It's got this classic Americana vibe with a dash of country and mountain tunes thrown in. Al Torrence, who produced Godwin's first album, is back at the helm, and he's done a great job giving it a brighter, more settled feel.

One of my favorite tracks has to be the title song 'Family Ties'. It really sets the mood for the whole album. And don't even get me started on his cover of 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' - it fits in so perfectly, you'd think Godwin wrote it himself! Sure, some folks might say it's not as story-driven as his earlier stuff, but I reckon the emotional depth more than makes up for it. It's the kind of album that grows on you, revealing little nuggets of gold with each listen. - Sienna
