Charlie Overman, “Capps” and “Gentle Understandings,” // GemsOnVHS™

My friend Cole Chaney shot me a text once upon time. “You’ve got to check this guy out” was the message. The guy to check out in question? That was this guy, Charlie Overman. As soon as I spun up the songs, I knew I wanted to meet Charlie. Apparently he has never heard of Adam Carroll, my favorite songwriter of all time, but that was the first person I thought of when I heard these well written, robustly literate songs. Stories, tales and parables from Charlie’s life, brought into a life of their own, with a bit of nice guitar sprinkled in for taste.

I was on my way to that stuck-in-the-mid-2000s time warp that is Ohio to meet Jordan Smart when I decided to stop in Lexington (or was it Louisville?) to meet Mr. Overman. He invited me into his one room casa to record a few tunes, talk about songwriting and enjoy a cup of water. What a guy.
