Only The Names Have Been Changed
''Only the Names Have Been Changed'' is the 2007 debut solo album by Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones. Background As Jones explains, "... we were recording the sixth Stereophonics album... and in-between takes I started doing these songs off the cuff. Three or four tracks in I realised that this could actually be something... strange how it's always little things that makes big things happen. We didn't wait – it was recorded 7 and 8 January and mastered by Friday the 12th... every song is a live take... we actively decided to make it a bit more filmic. In two days we put down 10 tracks with 10 different girls names... we wanted to do something in the vein of Nick Cave's ''Murder Ballads'' or Johnny Cash's ''Blood, Sweat and Tears''. Interviewed for ''The Guardian ''The Guardian'' is a British daily newspaper. It was founded in Manchester in 1821 as ''The Manchester Guardian'' and changed its name in 1959, followed by a move to London. Along with its sister paper, '' ...
