Ben Kweller – Changing Horses
Joshua February 13th, 2009
This is my favorite album of the year so far. On Changing Horses, Ben Kweller changes his approach, taking his signature indie-pop to a more countrified, pedal steel laden, Gram Parsons inspired sound. Ben’s voice is well suited to this new sound.
The songs on the album are great. My favorite is ‘Fight’. “Some days are aces, some days are faces, some days are two’s and three’s.” What a beautiful line. The album has a nice variety of songs. Half are up beat barn burners and half are slower ballads.
All in all, Changing Horses is a great album that can and should be listened to repeatedly.

This is a pretty good album. I think though that it sounds very minimal. like there is not enough punch in the overall production. Just my thoughts. Nice site by the way.
I heard this at the bar. I thought it sounded out of place there. It’s funny to see it as a favorite album.
Maybe not ALL music is made to fit in at a bar Mark…maybe…i could be wrong.
