Episode Description:

Lady A’s Charles Kelley joins Spout to open up about life after three years sober, fatherhood, and the creative freedom behind his bold new solo album Songs for a New Moon. The 16-track, ’80s-inspired project blends gratitude, vulnerability, and big, anthemic energy—featuring standout originals like “Can’t Lose You” plus fresh takes on “Time After Time” and The Killers’ “Here With Me.”

Charles shares how his wife’s support shaped the journey, why he’s no longer afraid to try something different, and how this record captures the music that shaped him—Phil Collins, Toto, Bryan Adams, and more. From golf course wins to Red Bull-fueled live shows, this candid, funny, and heartfelt conversation reveals a whole new side of Charles Kelley.
