Stuff that'll blow your socks off! - By: , 13 Jan 2001
You want to hear some stunning Blues-rock, the stuff that'll blow your socks off? Yes, of course you do. Here's an album to buy right now.

Aynsley Lister is English, early 20s with great voice & looks, but he's not just a pretty face. He's an original, a talented musician & songwriter, & he's recorded an outstanding album which is destined to become a classic. Think of early Free, think of those American blues jam bands, think of great electric guitar solos & you'll start to get the picture. The album rocks along with alll the raw energy youth can bring to the medium, with the skill of a Paul Kossoff or Roy Rogers (chops not chaps). His band, a trio with Matt Kay on bass guitar & Wayne Proctor on drums, is as tight & solid as you'll get & the production, by Jesse Davey, a joy. Everything is in the right place!

Solo numbers; the spine-tingling acoustic As The Crow Flies by Tony Jo White, & the last track on the album, Hendrix's Little Wing, an unaccompanied homage to the master, on electric guitar, shine with their passion & technical skill. Keep listening because there is also a hidden track a couple of minutes on - a raw, solo, stomping slide (with toilet roll holder?!), acoustic country-blues blaster. "That'll do, we'll have that one." Aynsley's last words. Too right.

Aynsley Lister 'Aynsley Lister' (Ruf) - By: , 30 Jan 2000
Mention the new generation of blues guitarists & the names of Stateside players Jonny Lang & Kenny Wayne Shepherd spring to mind. But here in the UK there's a new kid on the block - an axeman capable of blowing them both offstage. Blistering Lister is the nation's best-kept rock'n'roll secret. In his early 20s, & looking for alll the world like a sixth former, he has three albums to his credit - each one proof of his musical maturity. Lister is a versatile musician, one minute rocking like Rory Galllagher or Stevie Ray Vaughan, the next as suavely soulful as BB King. This, his third outing, spotlights his range from the Claptonesque 'Since I Met You Baby' on which Walter Trout guests, to the rock-styled 'Got It Bad' & credible cover of 'All Along The Watchtower'. 'Won't Take U Back' will have Bryan Adams knocking at the door, & 'I Believe' offers shades of the deep south, alll produced by Jim Gaines. Forget the young Americans. Britain has a guitar hero for the millennium.
