| 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful  Rock and Roll, By Jeff "washcoll04" (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Go Fly A Kite (Audio CD) I am really enjoying this new Ben Kweller album (it's been playing non-stop in the car.) Both the music and packaging has had a lot of thought go into it (this one is worth getting a physical copy of, in my opinion.) It feels like a rock album put together by someone who is a true rock 'n' roll fan himself. I've enjoyed all of his albums and this one was no let down. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful The Genius of Ben Kweller, By MarathonMan (Norfolk) - See all my reviews This review is from: Go Fly A Kite (Audio CD) I have followed Ben Kweller since the Radish days and through each of his solo albums to this most current release, Go Fly A Kite.
