Aynsley Lister - The Official Website

Classic Rock Magazine

In a recent feature of “Classic Rock Magazine” they looked at the future of blues rock music around the globe.
They highlighted 10 acts capable of taking this genre to a higher level.
Of the acts chosen, only one was British: Aynsley Lister.

Here’s what they said:

“Now here’s a turn up for the books – the only Brit on our list. Aynsley Lister took us all by surprise when he appeared on the scene at the turn of the millennium. His blues rock credentials were established straight away, with the inclusion of a guest spot from veteran bluesman Walter Trout on his debut album in 1999. Not that we needed and convincing though – Lister coud take his guitar from a whisper to a full on blues wail and nowhere was this more clear than on his brilliant take on All Along The Watchtower, which while owes its debt to Hendrix’s version, Lister manages to make his own.

As seems to be most blues guys’ wont, Lister has put in some time playing with the likes of Buddy Guy, John Mayall and Robert Cray, but he certainly hasn’t shied away from the rock side of his playing, sharing bills with Fun Loving Criminals and Bryan Adams.

For the first time, Listers latest album, is bereft of any cover songs, and his self written material stands up to scrutiny – it’s a heady blues rock mix, reminiscent of early Free. Lister tours up and down the country with his band, and the best place to catch his feral talent is live on stage.”
