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. The EP peaked at No. 55 on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Australian Singles Charts. Kelly's nephew, Dan Kelly joins the Paul Kelly Band to share vocals, guitar and songwriting.

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.
