Released on November 11th 2022, three days before Aynsley’s 46th birthday, under Lister’s own label (Straight Talkin’ Records Ltd) which he co-founded with his wife, Stephanie. This project sees Lister reach deep into his gutsy blues influences to bring a true storyteller’s perspective to unforgettable anthemic rock tracks. Fuelled equally by the everyday and an ‘amp to 11’ music philosophy, Along For The Ride soundtracks its listeners’ lives with a face-melting score.

The 13-track album takes listeners on a round trip though swelling choruses, tender moments, and everything in between. Aynsley himself takes a musical journey, branching out from the 60s and 70s blues influences that soundtracked his childhood, to contemporary songwriting and production that’s destined for stadiums.

Along For The Ride is available across all platforms.
