There are good soul singers. There are great soul singers. And then there's Levi Stubbs - out there on his own, in my opinion. That wonderful, pleading, yearning voice. If you don't know his early stuff with The Tops, you really should track it down. And the 6 minute extended mix by Mosogotam on Youtube of 'Ask the Lonely' is stunning. As for Billy Bragg's song - well, it's wonderful. When Levi died, Billy wrote a moving tribute to him, in The Observer (UK) newspaper, and talked of Levi's vocals on 'Still Waters' - in which he imagined his voice as the 'Voice of God.' Well, so do I. Thank you for Billy for this mighty song.

really outstanding songwriting... never understood why this song was not covered (unless I missed something). A classic, with BBs take on Renee for a B side.. perfect.

As far as I'm concerned you can take all the Bob Dylan songs and shove 'em up someone's ass. I'll gladly trade them in for just this one song. This.Is.Heartbreakingly.Brilliant. One guy with a guitar and he makes me emotional every time I hear this song."It's you and me against the world, she mumbled to herself"...

Great stuff! I agree with Jim Beam's comments when he says how Billy gets up there with just his guitar and amp and bunch of his own songs and performed his heart out touching many people including myself when I first went to see him in the early 80's He was my inspiration to learn the guitar and the best part of 30 years on I find myself still listening to his music and still playing his songs on my guitar, there are very few artists i can say have held my interest for this long! Go Billy, your a legend and my hero!

One of the bravest people on the planet. Dude simply cannot sing and yet he gets up on front of thousands of people with only his guitar, his amp and his nerve. Might be the greatest songwriter of my lifetime. I'm not a Brit, I don't like folk, never liked punk and not really a big guitar fan, but once I saw this video I was mesmerized. Once I saw this video I was a Billy Bragg fan for life.

Heard this on the radio on way home from work today and had to youtube it. Can't believe it's been 28 years since I first heard this song and still love it. I also love how he can make a single guitar sound like there's multiple guitars playing when it's just him. It confounds me how he does it. Billy Bragg is phenomenal.
