I was at the Stonewall when they filmed the last part of the video. I'm in the front as well. We had to do something like 15 takes before they were set.
Ok, I jut saw him live yesterday at Dia De Los Toadies! This guy rocks live!! His live show prompted me to come here and see more of his music. Good Luck Ben!
I find it humorous that so many people have said "I hate country music, but this is awesome." Ben Kweller certainly doesn't hate country music, and shows it by being some of the most true-to-roots alt-country made since the Derailers. It's truly awesome that he chose to dare and make a country album when he was previously involved in a scene that is so hostile to country (but no less great). If you enjoy this, look to The Flying Burrito Brothers and Gram Parsons for more guidance into country.
To hell with all these rants about what he "should" or "shouldn't" be sounding like. So fucking what - he changes his style a bit. Don't likey, don't watchey. To me, there seems to be a bit of 70s in his soul. It's really fucking cool. He reminds me a lot of my brother... Kweller, write and sing whatcha will bro - it's all good!
I apologize for sounding like such an ass, and whatever is best for him is whats most important, I just don't dig the country as much as some of his older stuff, the show all in all was great though.
Yes every talented artist shows progression, but they don't all completely change their genre. I saw him 2 days ago in Houston, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it definitely wasn't amazing either. I most people can agree that his previous works were of better quality.
It's not about what is better... He decided to go back to his roots and do a country album. Fuck he's from Greenville Tx, and if you've never been there you aren't missing much. I've loved BK since Sha Sha in '02, and I love this. I hate almost all country music, but this is pure gold. I hope he goes back to his old style, but it's definitely not the end of the road for BK.
Why is it that kids today don't look convincing AT ALL fist pumping to music at shows? Just looks like they were told to do it to go with the "Fight" theme and all, but they end up just looking silly because there's no feeling behind it. Other than that...great video!!
I love Ben, but if I was a country fan, I'd think that this sounded a little patronizing. But country folk like Larry the cable guy, so... what do I know?
Fabulous album! My first listen produced horror at the "country" twang he seemed to have picked up--both vocally and musically...BUT then I listened again and realised how perfect the whole thing was. Its a beautiful mixture of old Ben & and an obvious new direction that really suits him. Can't wait to reach the addicted phase where I can't stop playing his album. Highly recommended!
Great song Ben. It's refreshing to hear this style of music. And Sawdust Man is excellent. Sounds like your NOT a one trick pony. Keep them guessing. Changing Horses is a great album.
Bens old stuff is better in my opinion, not really liking his new country style.

Changing Horses, like it says.
