Product Information
Limited vinyl LP pressing. 2017 album from the singer/songwriter. On November 13, 2015, the singer-songwriter raised in a small North Carolina town called Reidsville was in the middle of his fourth European tour with American Aquarium, the rising alt-country act he'd led for nearly a decade. They were in Belgium, less than two hours from Paris, when bad news began to arrive: a series of terrorist attacks, including one in a rock club, had left more than 100 dead. Family members, friends, and the fans American Aquarium had amassed from so many years on the road immediately reached out, making sure the band had been far away. "The onslaught of text messages, voicemails and everything that came in the next day sparked something in me, " Barham remembers. "In the next two days, the entire record was written." The record he's talking about is Rockingham, Barham's remarkable and intensely personal solo debut. Not long after the wave of well wishes had passed, Barham found himself piecing together composites of people he'd known since childhood, of those folks and places who had impacted his life in fundamental ways. He sang into his cell phone and scribbled in notebooks, stealing away for quiet moments in order to put the melodies and characters floating through his mind into song. The shock of the moment and the distance from home seemed to give Barham a crucial perspective on the moments and circumstances that had helped shape him.
