Charles Wesley Godwin has been one of independent country music’s best-kept secrets since he released his debut album Seneca in 2019. However, it looks like the cat is now out of the bag. His star started to rise rapidly after the release of his 2023 album Family Ties. Earlier this week, he made his late-night television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Monday night (February 12), Godwin and his band The Allegheny High introduced themselves to a massive new audience thanks to their spot on Kimmel’s late-night talk show. They made the best use of their short time on the show with a rousing rendition of “Cue Country Roads” from Family Ties. Watch the performance below.

“Cue Country Roads” is a fan favorite and one of the most-streamed songs from Family Ties on Spotify. At the same time, it’s the kind of song that will get a crowd fired up and leave a lasting impression. So, the riff-heavy ode to John Denver’s classic song about going home was the perfect selection for the late-night show crowd. It’s catchy enough to pull in a wide variety of fans while still showcasing Godwin’s powerful songwriting and the air-tight instrumentation of The Allegheny High.
