Long regarded as one of Nashville’s best, the singer, songwriter, and guitar hero duets with superstars like Luke Combs and Lainey Wilson on the new collabs EP ‘Compadres’
Charlie Worsham is flexing on the new collabs EP 'Compadres,' singing with artists he's influenced, like Luke Combs and Lainey Wilson.has been playing the long game for over a decade, and he’s finally poised to cash in with an all-star duets project he’s calling, his major-label Nashville debut. It failed to crack the Top 10 on the country albums chart, and its two singles floundered at radio.
“I was a pretty angry dude, and underneath all that I was worried and afraid,” Worsham says. “So much of my satisfaction and joy was attached to expectations. These things that were so specifically defined as a measure of success were heavily dependent on things that are out of my control. I was doomed to disappointment.”
Peers like the Cadillac Three’s Jaren Johnston think it was just a matter of timing. “I fucking love thatand co-wrote the track “Creekwater Clear” with Worsham and Brent Cobb. “But I also saw what he was competing with back then. He’s walking into a country station at seven in the morning with bright yellow-and-orange Chuck Taylors on and he doesn’t rap. So, it was tough for him.”
But Worsham soldiered on, refusing to chase bro-country trends and instead committing himself to pursuits that brought him joy. He hosted the off-the-cuff jam nights “Every Damn Monday” , wrote a book about following your bliss, became an adjunct member of Old Crow Medicine Show, and played guitar and mandolin all over albums by the genre’s biggest stars, from Eric Church to Bentley. He even donned a Nineties mullet wig as recently as this summer to join Bentley’s gag group Hot Country Knights .
Worsham doesn’t deny that he’s worrying less — and maybe even showing some muscle. But to him, it’s all about perspective: not only how he views his career so far, but, if he’s being honest, how his heroes see him.has got a chance, but at the core, you could sum up success in one word: respect. It’s taken all these years for me to cultivate it and I wouldn’t trade anything for respect,” he says. “I know that I’m going to spend the rest of my life playing country music.
