The guy is one the best singer songwriter of our time, doesn't get the recognition he deserves

[speckyhotdoganderson]

I can see why Liam and noel hold this man in such high regard what a legend and talent 👏

[trayc]

Others are busy on the celebrity circuit; Ashcroft just quietly gets on and works on creating outstandigly fine music. Haunting, melancholy and beautiful. Oh and that voice! Sublime.

I’ve loved this guy since I bought Urban Hymns on cassette in 1997. He doesn’t age, his voice doesn’t age. I’ve seen him 3 times in the last 4 years and I’d watch him every night if I could. He’s special and his songs are special. The voice of a generation

[nortilad]

The control in his voice...incredible...pure class

[MrBobbydazzle]

Im 47 the brit rock era was unbelievable.... but as you get older you listen to the words .... probably lived the words .... people like ashcroft will be listened to by people like me till we turn turn to dust... what an era of music !

[outtour]

Million times better than the studio version, absolutely brilliant

[jokerizzzz]

To anyone who's is lost and confused these days I would suggest to listen to this masterpiece

[bornonthecusp]

I just heard this, I stumbled across it by a friend. Does Richard ever not produce works of art? What a beautiful soul.

[LATEAGAIN-]

In the mid 90's I was really into this new band from the UK called Oasis. I then met this girl who told me I should check out a band called The Verve. I lost that girl somewhere in time, but to this day I owe her a huge favor.

With all the junk that it popular music today... what a treasure this guy is

[jefferyseymour]

One of his first solo gigs, The Electric ball Room, Camden. He got so nervous and froze not long into Sonic, Liam walks on and steps up the the mike get the audience to give Richard lots of support and we all sing the words for him, what a moment that was.

[Jimmywilliams_]

Eyes closed, singing from the soul. No lies.. rare in 2021

[jamespirate]

One of the greatest and most underated live performances ever!

[Michelle-eueu]

Love this acoustic version of They Don't Own Me.

[thegrestmatt]

Are you walking with me, or are you running with them
Such a simple line, but so intense 🤯

[jhanson]

Unbelievable artist! a few minutes of my life I'll never want back! absolute pleasure to listen to that.

[ThaBeatHunter]

I can hear and feel the pain. What a performance.

[Jackkamerun]

Unbelievable, blown away!! this is a top notch artist, this guy has it in the blood! Mind blowing, my goodness! Can't understand one can dislike, really...may be his jelous ex girlfriends!!

You don’t get legends submerged like Ashcroft does in music now, look at lads in studio looking at screens, not realising they are witnessing greatness
