Album lore

American Patchwork, issued by NorthSky Records in April 2025, presents a concise collection of five tracks from Steve Charles. Rooted in soul and pop, the album offers a modest yet deliberate exploration of these genres without extraneous embellishment. The featured cover of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" signals a willingness to engage familiar material through Charles’s interpretive lens.Despite minimal digital footprint—just a handful of Last.fm listeners and scrobbles—the record quietly asserts itself as a curious artifact for those attuned to contemporary soul-inflected pop. Its brevity and focused execution suggest a work intended less for mass circulation than for discerning ears sifting through the folds of modern independent releases.
