A BIT OF BACKGROUND ABOUT THE ALBUM
The `Will It Be You` album was released on 9th February 2025 and was the follow up to `Nine Country Nuggets` which was one of 5 nominations for best album in the 2024 UK Country Music Awards. It didn`t win but it was good to be nominated. The track listing is as follows:
​
1)Will It Be You
2)Whenever You`re Around
3)I Can See the Dawn
4)Shining Star
5)She`s Away
6)Slapton Sands (Exercise Tiger)
7)Country Walks
8)Tom and Rita`s Cafe
9)Will I Get Out of Here
​
A couple of the songs have made an impression so far. `Whenever You`re Around` made the final of the Major Artist category at the UK Songwriting Contest in December 2024.
Slapton Sands (Exercise Tiger) was written about the tragic loss of 946 US servicemen in 24 hours during secret training ahead of the 1944 D-Day landings. This song is now played on permanent loop at a memorial to the fallen troops at Fort Taber-Fort Rodman military museum in Massachusetts, USA.
​
I am thrilled to report that songs by `The Charlesys` have had thousands of radio plays around the world over the last 12 months. The latest single is `Knock It Out the Park` and was released at the end of April 2025.
