Guitar Playing Is A Fire Hazard

Aynsley Lister does not simply reheat the blues of yesteryear - no simple 12 bar numbers here.  He produces songs with a contemporary feel and sound, infusing influences from the 1960’s blues boom era with a more current melodic and lyrical approach.
 
Lister is one of very few artists playing rocking blues with a modern edge - tangible, heartfelt, soul searching and full of fine song writing. All played with passion, vitality and simply stunning guitar work, reminiscent of a young Clapton.


The critics in the mainstream magazines have taken to Lister. In a live review in June’s Classic Rock, Pete Makowski wrote, “Aynsley Lister is a precocious talent who looks like one of the McFly’s yet plays like Robert Johnson.”

Classic Rock also recommended 10 blues/rock artists capable of taking this genre of music to the highest level. Among those suggested were The White Stripes, John Meyer, Jonny Lang and Joe Bonamasa with the only British or European act in their top ten being Aynsley Lister.

Lister’s recent album Upside Down on Ruf Records provides every aspect and quality that his fans have now come to expect. It’s all there from the raunchy guitar, to the melodic voice and the infectious songs. But to simply pronounce this CD as another worthwhile effort would be an injustice. Indeed, the critics have been unanimous in their praise; “His guitar playing is a fire hazard – exceptionally mature and exciting” – MOJO Magazine.

He’s got the chops, the looks and the songs” – Classic Rock.
