Kweller moves comfortably to country on new release
By Marcus Haugen and Angela Jones | Jan. 19, 2010In his 2009 release, Changing Horses, Ben Kweller left the alternative rock world of his early career and made his first venture into country music. While he performs amicably in his new genre, the decision to explore his alternative country and bluegrass interests has brought Kweller to a crossroads.

The newest release from Kweller, Sawdust Man/Send Me Down the Road, provides a glimpse in the direction Kweller's career is moving.
