Kweller has produced songs with sounds of rock 'n' roll, some songs that feature him and just a piano, and some are just him and his guitar. It doesn't matter which feeling the song has though, because they are all equally great.
He is a musical guru and started at a very young age. I want you to close your eyes, picture what you were doing at age 15. Before you could drive, life was simpler and your only worry was the current dram in your freshman year of highschool. Kweller's lifestyle at age 15 consisted of touring the world as the front man of the pop-grunge band Radish.
Kweller has moved on from that band and for a while has been producing his solo stuff. Now you can definitely hear some of his biggest inspiration in him, the beatles, in his music. They play a huge role in his music writing. In fact, the chords of his first dozen songs used the same chords (in different patterns) from Beatles' songs.
I apologize if this review wasn't very helpful in giving you much insight on Kweller's music, but it is hard to put in words because it is very original and each song is a little different. I guess the main thing you should take from this is listen to him. I Promise YOU will LOVE Ben Kweller.
Songs I Recommend:
-The Rules (more rock 'n' roll and has a blues vibe to it)
-Run (This will be the one that hooks you on him)
-Falling (another favorite kinda Ben Folds in this one)
-Sundress (you will hear some Beatles in this one)
-Penny On A Traintrack
-Wasted and Ready (kinda has a Weezer feel to it)
As you can tell from just reading my quick descriptions his songs are very diferent from eachother but I guarantee you will love all of them.
