The album’s lead single was a cover of Kris Kristofferson’s Help Me Make It Through The Night – the song Kelly’s talented factory worker father Arwyn used to sing in working men’s clubs.
Most of the 21 tracks are rearranged acoustic versions of the Stereophonics’ finest moments, from Hurry Up And Wait to the dazzling Dakota.
Kelly doesn’t shy away from tragedies such as the drunken death of drummer Stuart Cable. He talks about him affectionately before singing Before Anyone Knew Our Name.
Stuart’s mum was Mabel Cable, a name which, Jones reveals, the band very nearly chose as their own. We get background stories, sad stories and funny ones about David Bowie heckling him.
