Won't You Come Around is an EP released by Australian folk rock musician Paul Kelly and his band on 3 November 2003 by EMI.[1] The EP peaked at No. 55 on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Australian Singles Charts.[2] Kelly's nephew, Dan Kelly joins the Paul Kelly Band to share vocals, guitar and songwriting.[1][3]

Background

The EP preceded the 2004 release of the double album, Ways and Means, from which the title track and "Little Bit O' Sugar" were taken. It also features a live performance covering Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' "Nobody's Baby Now" and a cover of The Band's "Christmas Must Be Tonight" (from their 1977 album, Islands). "Emotional" was originally released on Kelly's website with the longer title "I Guess I Get a Little Emotional Sometimes". It is a political song about the plight of refugees who were imprisoned at Woomera. Kelly performed "Won't You Come Around" live on the SBS television musical quiz, RockWiz before performing in a duet with Little Birdy's Katy Steele.[4]
