On My Way, Ben Kweller's second album, came out on ATO in 2004, and every song on it is his own. He went back to Sear Sound, the studio where he'd made Sha Sha, but threw out the old method: this time he wanted to capture the band that had been backing him for a year and a half, so they played live in one room, no headphones, barely an overdub. Ethan Johns produced, and the result is warm and unhurried, all scuffed guitars and plain-spoken melodies. Kweller singled out the title song as one of his best.
"The Rules" is the one the countdowns latched onto. On the road, with Radish's John Kent and guitarist Jason Roberts in the touring band, he co-headlined with Death Cab for Cutie and Incubus in the US, played Japan with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the White Stripes, and near the end opened one of the Black Crowes' Hammerstein reunion shows.
