Hello All , just thought I would find out what everyone is listening to at the moment.Also if there are any current ‘must have’ Albums.

Also , maybe Aynsley & Co can tell us what they are currently listening to.Here goes my current:

Dani Wilde - Heal my Blues - Good
Ryan Adams - Easy Tiger - Excellent
Aynsley Lister - Everything I need - Good
Jeff Healey - Heal My Blues
Led Zeppelin - Mothership - Good

Cover versions that are better than the original

Every so often a cover version comes along that is better than the original, do you know any?

Here’s my starter for 10!!!

Glastonbury

2010-06-21T17:24:23Z

How many of us on hear have said at one time or another ” wouldn’t it be great if ALB were to play Glastonbury,” well this weekend it is finally happening. A brand new stage called Bourbon Street. I am extremely jealous of anybody who has a ticket. But seriously the reason for this thread is to wish Aynsley and the band every success for their two shows at Glastonbury and may it be the first of many.

The Tower sessions

It was well worth the wait. I am, like my fellow listeners. impressed with the sound on the new album.
I particularly liked the live sound, with no background noise / whistles, etc. The production by Aynsley and Alan has really raised the bar.
The sleeve notes say ‘no audience’ ..... Some of us know otherwise!
Just as an aside, I recorded last week’s Jools Holland prog .... and it was dire. Has Aynsley ever been invited? If not, wouldn’t it be marvellous for Aynsley and the band to be invited ...a really good advert to British music. I then started to think back to the Tower sessions album…. if you were choosing a song for Aynsley to play, which would it be? I know that many (including me!) would be Purple Rain, but I would be (possibly) controversial ... it has to be Early Morning (Dew) or Hero. What do you think?

Which Equilibrium Song is Your Favourite

2009-04-15T22:40:29Z

Thought I’d ask ask forum members to vote for their favourite track on Equilibrium.
The whole Album is superb - but which track stands out for you?
Is It:-
Soul
Time’s Up
What’s It All About
Forever
Crazy
Big Sleep
Running On Empty
Superficial
Early Morning Dew
Running Out On Me
Sugar Low
Hurricane.

By voting in this quick sample does not mean that none of the other tracks are not good it just says which one is your favourite. If we can get multiple voting it would be so much easier.

Aynsley Lister - Tower Sessions

2010-05-07T12:50:35Z

WOW, WOW and WOW again. If like me you were a little bit apprehensive about this album then trust me when I say you have nothing whatsoever to worry about. Simon’s drumming is superb, a fabulous driving bass line from Midus and Dan pulls the sound all together. As for the main man, if he has played better than this I would be very surprised. The production, which I thought would be the make or break of this album is quite superb, bright, powerful, and does it capture the ALB live sound, you bet it does. I know one or two people were not sure whether they were going to buy the album because they already had most of the songs, all I would say to that is that its worth £10 of anybodys money just for Purple Rain. It will blow you away, stunning doesn’t begin to describe how good a version it is. I am on my second play of the album now and I don’t think that will be the last today, and the volume is up a notch or three from the first play, lucky I am detached or else pity the neighbours. I hope everyone else will feel the same and agree its been well worth the wait.

It’d be interesting to know why it’s being sold, so long as he’s not retiring!!!

BRDC Silverstone

2010-05-18T11:00:50Z

Does anyone know anything about this? There is no mention of Aynsley on the BRDC website that I can find. Is it part of an event at the circuit? As this is not only just down the road from me but also on my birthday its a no brainer but much as I love Mr L & co i’m not sure I could sit through several hours of noise and fumes to get my fix.
