Americana Music News – The new American Aquarium album “Things Change” moves to #12 on the 
Americana Music Association’s album charts this week and with good reason. It may well be the most thought-provoking and rewarding album of the year.
There are inevitably going to be comparisons to Bruce Springsteen because of BJ Barham’s vocals, but the more critical similarity is to well-crafted songs about the kind of world we live in.
“The world Is On Fire” is the stunner, a extraordinary song about election night 2016 and the next morning’s reckoning:
“When did The Land of the Free become The Home of the Afraid?
Afraid of the world, afraid of the truth
Afraid of each other”
