Mr. Kweller is neither a product of the music industry nor a new young self-proclaimed talent with 15 minutes of fame.

Mr. Kweller is, in this reader and listener's opinion, mature with over 15 years of writing and performing experience while he remains explorative of genre boundaries and stays reflective of his influences, his play list, and his direction.

Many did not understand Gram Parsons who the "Industry", in the name of Rolling Stone magazine, is something like 297th out of 300 if the Most Influential Musicians in Rock history.

So desperate is the music industry for new, young and novel that everything else is disregarded--e.e if anyone bothered to listen to the opening bars of The Rolling Stones as in "Please allow me to introduce myself...etc." they might not be so infatuated with Mr Kweller's genius. So I hope he has real talent somewhere and can sustain a career beyond the 15 minutes of fame he is now enjoying. Sorry to sound so cynical but really talented original musicians are going unrecognized. And so it goes.But Texas does produce surprises--Rauscehnberg and George Bush, to name two.
