A light touch on the guitar strings and an echoed foot tap are the gateway for “Coal Country”, Charles Wesley Godwin continuing as a guide around his homeland as he drifts back to ‘the spring of ‘49’ with the story of Ruth in “Seneca Creek”, introduces “Strawberry Queen”, trails a wanted man through the hills with “The Last Bite”, and digs deeper into the ‘dirt beneath my feet’ for “Here in Eden”.

Shlomo Franklin has a new E.P., Don’t Love Anybody, and is on the Top Ten with the title track as The 502s deliver “What to Do” from their upcoming interactive album release.
