It&#8217;s a riddle; an alarm &#8211; an alert to his country that something has gone wrong. Fans know what to expect from Olney &#8211; after twenty studio albums and six live sets, they&#8217;ve stuck with him through thick and thin. His album, &#8216;Don&#8217;t Try To Fight It&#8217;, released last year, is an album full of words of wisdom from a man who&#8217;s seen a lot, and will share it if we want to listen.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The music video for &#8216;Situation&#8217; shows the singer-songwriter in the basement of a haunted power plant.
