    Stereophonics: Performance and Cocktails

    As previously stated, I love these guys. Marc introduced them to me back in 2001 when Just Enough Education To Perform came out, but I didn't check out their other works 'til recently.

    This one comes from 1999, and has some more great tunes. The aforementioned Marc may have said it best when he said, "Kelly Jones could sing off shopping lists and it would be cool."

    Moving past that very true statement "Performance and Cocktails" offers 13 solid tracks, ranging from hard rocking tunes (Roll Up and Shine, Bartender and the Thief) to softer (not to be confused with soft rock) rocking (Just Looking, She Takes Her Clothes Off).

    The album is great, start to finish, and having listened to it thoroughly, I can see why people were so excited over "Just Enough Education to Perform": It was a great follow-up album to another great album.

    In the end: Get off your ass and listen to these guys. I need to check out some of their older stuff, and so should you. Buy this and "Just enough education..." and listen to them both. Now.
