Country artist Jesse Daniel has released new single “Time Well Spent For A Man” featuring Charles Wesley Godwin. A “reflection on taking stock of what’s important in life,” the song reunites the two singer/songwriters after touring together last year. The track appears on Daniel’s upcoming LP Son of the San Lorenzo, arriving on June 6th, 2025 via Lightning Rod Records.
Daniel shares:
This song was written by Northern California songwriter Nick Foster. It is an ode to father time. To me, it’s also about focusing on the meaningful things in life. On our deathbed, we’ll remember raising our children, our spouse’s kiss, time spent doing what we loved, as opposed to how many hours we logged in the office. I loved the message of this song and felt compelled to record it. Charles Wesley Godwin came to mind with the subject matter. He’s a family man and an incredible songwriter himself. His vocals really helped add to the depth of the whole thing.
Recorded live to tape at The Bomb Shelter in Nashville, Son of the San Lorenzo is an account of Daniel’s journey, from his early years hitchhiking in the shadow of the Santa Cruz Mountains, to his adolescence and battles with addiction, to the people, and music, that h feels saved his life.
Last year marked a turning point for Daniel’s career, beginning with creating the theme song to comedian Dusty Slay’s Netflix special Workin’ Man that was released in January. He then released his album Countin’ The Miles.To close out the year, he released a duo of collaborative singles with Benjamin Tod which was followed by a co-headline tour.
He will also perform a hometown album release show on May 31 on his home turf at the Felton Redwood Mountain Faire in Felton, CA.
