Ben Kweller appeared in-studio just before 9am this morning...His album, Changing Horses was a main topic this morning. It's a country album to say the least, but was one of the easiest records he has ever made. He used several songs he wrote as a teen and the name of the album was something he pondered on for years.
The video for "Fight" is currently running on CMT and Country Weekly Magazine gave the album four stars saying, "Ben's unforced way with a twang on Changing Horses proves he isn't kidding when he cites Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson as major influences."
Ben isn't worried about his new sound or how people will perceive it, but most importantly he doesn't want to be pigeonholed as an artist. "I'm just a Texas weirdo with a guitar," he said.
His next album is almost done. "It's different from any other album I've ever made - but it's not a reggae album," he said. He also talked about Kimmy the stalker, and his One Minute Pop Song episodes.
Ben Kweller will peform live at the 9:30 Club tonight at 10pm in DC. To listen to his interview and acoustic performances of "Things I Like To Do" and "Wanting Her Again" click here.
