Watch Charles Wesley Godwin Honor Turnpike Troubadours With Acoustic Cover of “Down Here”

Charles Wesley Godwin gets much praise for his songwriting ability. All one has to do is put on one of his albums or pull up songs like “Cranes of Potter,” “Shrinks and Pills,” or “The Flood” to see why. However, CWG is a multitalented individual. He can also sing and play guitar with the best of them. He regularly proves that by sharing acoustic covers on social media. Recently, he posted a cover of a Turnpike Troubadours song.

Godwin and his band opened for Turnpike Troubadours and Jason Isbell for two nights in Oklahoma City over the weekend. Before the second show on Saturday (January 20), he posted a cover of “Down Here” by Turnpike Troubadours. In the caption, he explained what the song and the band mean to him.

“Turnpike Troubadours and the words of Evan Felker got me through a lot of hard times,” he wrote. “Ain’t nothing wrong with going back home to lick your wounds if the world knocks you down,” he added, referencing the theme of the song. Then, he plugged that night’s show. “Enjoy! And if you’re in OKC, see you tonight for round two with Turnpike and Jason Isbell.”
