You Gotta Go There to Come Back by Stereophonics
You Gotta Go There to Come Back is an album by Stereophonics, released in 2003. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Maybe Tomorrow”, on 5 lists with a best position of #225.
You Gotta Go There to Come Back, the fourth studio album from Stereophonics, came out on V2 in 2003 with Kelly Jones producing, and it finds the band from the Welsh village of Cwmaman in a slow-burning, moody frame of mind, Jones's whiskey-soaked rasp front and center and Richard Jones's bass rolling underneath. "Maybe Tomorrow" is the one that has lasted, a lazy, late-night sway that rock radio kept coming back to for years.
The title comes from the eighth track, "I'm Alright (You Gotta Go There to Come Back)". It became their third straight UK number-one album, shifting 101,946 copies in its opening week, but it also closed a chapter: it was the last Stereophonics record with original drummer Stuart Cable, who was fired that September.
