I used to love Ben Kweller, but for no reason at all I just quit listening to him.  That album with him and a pack of wolves on the cover, damn I used to listen to that lots.

I just snagged this - http://www.fuelfriendsblog.com/2009/02/02/ben-kweller-covers-neil-young-plays-some-new-songs/ - hoping to fall back in love with him.

I think his self titled album is the best....The first 4 tracks amazing.  New album has some good tracks too.

Sha Sha is easily his best. Just a fantastic album. Follow up is really good. Last one was decent. DL'ing new one tonight.

That's On My Way, right?  I really love this album, but never dug much deeper into his catalog for some reason...

Difference of opinion but self titled IS the best quality.   I mean come on....Run and Nothing's Happening to kick it off.  Then Sundress and I Gotta Move....that's 4 classic songs in a row.  Come to think of it, the whole album is quality.  I actually would go in this order for newbies:
Ben Kweller (self-titled)
Sha-Sha
On My Way
Changing Horses (This album is growing on me)

I know the order of albums...I bought them as they came out.  I'm just saying, for people to get into him, I would recommend listening to the self titled first, and then diving into the sha-sha, then on my way, then changing horses.

Ahh, that makes sense now.

Penny- Yes, that is one of his songs.
