Video: Ben Kweller – “Fight”
From Changing Horses, out February 3 on ATO. His publicist calls this “a full-blown, straight-up country affair” but it’s clear that Kweller’s been listening to the Flying Burrito Brothers with the mix of country, gospel, soul, and rock and roll. This is full-blown, straight-up Cosmic American Music. I’m happy to see the return of pedal steel and multi-part harmonies, which have been lacking in his output since 2002’s Sha Sha (review), an album I still revisit regularly.

Anyone know whether that CB lingo is still hip? Do guys still say “Draggin’ my wagon” and “Pedal to the metal?”
This here’s the FuzzKatt pushin’ the little rig full of auto parts from here across the state line.Keep the pedal to the medal, the piece in the glve compartment, stay in the left lane and may the Good Lord get ya home in one piece!
