It was a thing back in the day to finish an album with a poignant acoustic track, Married with children/oasis, coming down/starsailor to name a couple. Sadly as the concept of “albums” has diminished over time these gems either don’t get recorded or don’t get heard in their true context. “Word gets around” was a powerful album both sonically and lyrically and this was a perfect foil for all those distorted guitars and heavy handed drumming, not to mention the raw velocity of Kelly’s voice! It takes you by surprise. Long live the album!
I remember buying Word Gets Around in '97 when i was 26, 27, after hearing Local Boy in the Photograph on the radio. No CZcams or anything back then. I was married, 1 son and really happy in the prime of my life. I started buying their cds from then on. My then wife didn't really get into them until i got Just Enough Education to Perform. She loved Mr.Writer, then got into the rest of the album. When i would get home from work she would have Just Enough Education playing and singing along while making the tea. It was such a great time for me. I'm quite a lot older now, divorced, alone and suffer from depression. I still have my Stereophonics cds and great memories of the '90s when i was in my prime, all black hair, quite good looking had a lovely wife and son and there was great music about. Stereophonics, great band. 👍
Soz it didn't work out for you mate. Heart break is cruel...might learn to live with it but the pain you don't forget. Hope things are getting better though now? Love from South Wales
Absolutely magic live rendition of such a powerful and poignant song!! 🤠🎶🎸👍 He’s even playing what I think is a Gibson J200, my fave acoustic guitar ever!!
There was lots of great music from about '94 onwards. So many great bands about, i would be buying a new cd album every week on friday, payday. They called it Britpop, but that was a bullshit name, it was just really good music and i was in my mid 20s, all black hair, quite good looking, had a lovely wife and son and i felt great each day. I still have lots of cds from that time, quite a few Stereophonics cds, if you haven't really heard them i would start with their compilation Decade In The Sun, then go back to their debut Word Gets Around, then Perfomance and Cocktails, then Just Enough Education to Perform. A brilliant 3 album run, then take it from there, but you probably have them anyway. Now i have grey to go with my black hair, but at least my hair is still all there lol. I'm divorced, live alone suffer from depression but nothing can take away my memories of the '90s when i was in my prime, had a great life and the music was so much better than it is today, apart from the odd good artist, but back then there was an incredible amount of good bands.
One of the best debut albums ever

At his best, Kelly Jones is a fantastic story teller.

That must have been the mid 90s brilliant band

A Feedback Buster!
I love his voice but I think he had a litte pb that night !
does anyone know what the thing he has in the hole behind the strings is called?
scott coakley We call it a Fungiwungi in Scotland.
Looks like a pickup, it probably wasn’t an electro acoustic so it’s been added in to allow him to plug the guitar into an amp.
It's called a feedback blocker basically because the jumbo guitars are so big they hum back on the stage monitors so you use that to stop the feedback
