Ben Kweller


In todays music world it is hard to find an album you can throw in your cd player and listen to the entire disc with complete satisfaction. I have found such albums with an artist known as Ben Kweller. With his musical roots strewn through country and classic rock, his music combines many styles to create his own rendition of Americana music.
His albums "Sha Sha" and self-titled "Ben Kweller" are my personal favorites that he has put out. "Sha Sha" has tunes with a harder rock feel in "Wasted and Ready," to moving ballads in "In Other Words," which has some of the most excellent piano licks your ears have experienced.
His latest release "Ben Kweller," is littered with amazing songs like "Sundress," "Penny on a Train Track," and "Until I Die." This album can take you through a whirlwind of emotions, and has become my staple driving record. Each song keeps you wanting to delve in and hear the next tune.
I have been able to see Ben Kweller live twice and he puts on an excellent show. So if you ever get a chance go see him.
I would definitely go check out Ben Kweller as fast as you possible can, and get in on some of the best music you can get your ears on.
