Listen: Charles Wesley Godwin on Mountain Stage

Morgantown, West Virginia native Charles Wesley Godwin’s  song “Coal Country” reminds us that the commodity’s impact reaches far beyond Appalachia, broadening the definition of what many think of as “Coal Country.”

"Put a roof over my head and the armor on the tanks of Normandy"

Guest-host Kathy Mattea said “He sings about the hard working, close knit communities, and a deep sense of place, and of belonging somewhere.”

“Coal Country” appears on Godwin’s new album, “Seneca.” Earlier this year we premiered the Robert Tinnell directed video for “Coal Country,” which you can watch here.
