On My Way is the second album released by American singer-songwriter Ben Kweller. All songs were written by Kweller himself.
Recording process On My Way was recorded at the same studio (Sear Sound) as Kweller's debut album Sha Sha, but the approach was completely different. "I really wanted to capture the band that had been backing me up for the past year and a half. We recorded everything live, in one room without headphones and hardly any overdubs. I'm very proud of On My Way'''s spontaneity and honesty. I'm especially proud of the song "On My Way". I feel it's one of my best."
Touring The touring band for the album featured John Kent from Radish and Jason Roberts on guitar. On My Way'' was their first headlining tour in France. Ben Kweller also co-headlined with Death Cab for Cutie and Incubus in the US. Kweller also performed in Japan with Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the White Stripes. Towards the end of touring, Kweller opened for The Black Crowes at one of their Hammerstein reunion shows.
