NO ONE I know of has Stevie's version of "You Like Me", but it is an AMAZING SONG!!!!! Even just hearing the cover.

Bitter, snippy, taunting, conceited... SO many emotions Stevie runs through in that rocking song!
This is a great song!! I Love it, and it always saddened me that Stevie did not record it, (unless it's in the vault somewhere) esp. in that RAL tour era voice ....she's be spitting nails and growling through these lyrics. The song is a very uptempo rocker!!

I worked in a record store when the self-titled "Williams Brothers" cd came out. It had a little buzz behind it, and was produced by Patrick Leonard of then "Madonna "True Blue" fame and Mike Campbell. I need to dig this out....It's probably in a box in my basement.

They toured as an opening act for Suzanne Vega in '86 or '87. I went to their show at the Wiltern, hoping that Stevie would guest.

In Rolling Stone's review of their album, they specifically mentioned the rocker written by Stevie Nicks, so that's how I knew to get the album back then in July 1987. Plus, their version of "Some Become Strangers" was on it as well.

I wonder just how many copies of the Williams Brothers' 1987 LP were bought by Stevie Fans, strictly for the purpose of hearing a new Stevie Song (LIKE ME!)?
