I first heard of Charles because of his collab with Zach Bryan in Jamie but I have fallen in love with Seneca Creek maybe my all time favorite song. Sung with such passion can't believe it's not viral
A song sung from the soul. Speaks to the roots of our most important bonds. Forever our commitment to the one's we love until the day arrives when our souls go up.
Just saw CWG at the Ryman with my husband a few days ago. Spectacular voice, band, music, songs, and performance!!! One of the best live performances we’ve ever seen ❤ Don’t miss it!!
My Great-Grandparents owned a Gristmill where Brushy Run joins Seneca Creek. You have no idea how much this song moves me. It is an absolute masterpiece. Thank you Charles.
With this guy and the others lately, its like country music is experiencing their grunge type era. What i mean is really good artist and music that came out nowhere and smack everyone upside the head.
absolutely fantastic went to your concert in cbus ohio at the show 2024 in june. found you then and i can’t stop listening and singing to your beautifully written songs, have yet to find one i don’t like. keep it real. you may not blow up as fast as these other artists with huge record deals, but that doesn’t mean you don’t impact people with your skills. we need people like you writing songs for the average man. thank you so much god bless
So well done!

He opened for Zach Bryan at a smaller show and absolutely slayed it….
This guy is an insane songwriter. First time I have heard his music.
This song makes me feel small.
My God!!! I just discovered him this morning. Incredible. A bit of Billy Bragg in this one. Move over Sturgill and Tyler.
It's between this and Sturgills "I don't mind" for the greatest country songs of this generation to me
Legendary
I am all in CWG. Amazing artist. I have him grouped with Sturgill, Tyler , Zach and Jason as fresh life blowing into country.
Lyrically I am feeling significant Gordon Lightfoot vibes on this… 👍
i need tutorials and tabs of all of this guys songs
The haunting nostalgia of this song is incredible
Oh gosh this is beyond perfection ❤
In the spring of 1949, that's when I crossed the county line
It's there I saw in Seneca Creek
A girl named Ruth who washed her feet
I told her my name was RC Phares that I'd marry her with half a karat
She said, "I do, but no stone can reach the prettiest shine of this here creek"
The mud was deep and the roads were wide
We'd retreat and then retake the lines
Korean winters had torn me down and killed all the boys from my hometown
But I'm coming home, Ruth, my dear
I got money in my pocket, don't you fear
We'll build a life by Seneca Creek
You'll have everything you'll ever need
Let's build a home by Seneca Creek and raise ourselves a family
I'll work on the farm, you work the store
We'll have everything we ever hoped for
With the top of a mountain above our heads and the roar of Seneca by the bed
Seneca Creek
And sure enough, the hard times came
You loved those, I did the same
We made it through the winter's cold
And many summers young and old
In '85, the creek did rise but it only took the other side
The Gandee, North Fork and South Branch too
The house stood still that I built for you
In '94, when you got sick, we'd make up trips for the hell of it
Take my hand, Ruth, my dear
I'll take you back to any year
And now you lie on the hill up high
Right beneath the mountain sky
Seneca Creek sings below
Atop the tree sits a lonely crow
We built a home by Seneca Creek and raised ourselves a family
I worked on the farm, you worked the store
We had everything we'd ever hoped for
With the top of a mountain above our heads and the roar of Seneca by the bed
