"Having
read about Aynsley as the UK's next big blues guitarist
I was naturally intrigued to find out what he was
all about. Having visited his official site and spoken
to a couple of friends - I soon found out that it
was time to sit up and listen. He's a regular on the
blues column in Future Publishing's Guitarist magazine
where you'll find snippets of Aynsley at work.
However...
a trip down to HMV found his live album Supakev
'n Pilchards. This live album is raw and to be
honest, simply brilliant. One man - one guitar and
a mic. There are times when you're reminded of SRV
- but a more Delta Blues rather than Texan Blues version.
Slide guitar rules the album - and there's even a
rendition of Sheryl Crow's Strong Enough to boot!
Aynsley, with the right and correct amount of publicity
will shortly be appearing in all UK guitarist's CD
collections - we'd like to help out and make sure
that happens." -

Review
from Amazon.co.uk;
Supakev
n Pilchards`, is a live album which is just that,
a twelve song set recorded and released as it sounded
on the night. This is an outstanding record which
sees the young Blues star Aynsley Lister freed from
the overproduction which ever so slightly marred the
otherwise excellent studio album `Everything I Need`.
Kicking off with a thrilling rip through Robert Johnson's
`Stop Breaking Down` (also covered by the Rolling
Stones of `Exile On Main Street`) Lister thunders
through a series of blues classics, practically reinventing
Sheryl Crow's ballad `Strong Enough` in the process.
This is blues for the 21st century, rooted in tradition
but not belonging to the past. One interesting observation,
the one self penned song here, `Aeroplane Blues`,
holds up well amongst the greats but would have stood
as one of the weaker tracks on `Everything I Need`.
An album of original material given the SnP treatment
would be worth hearing, let's hope that's where Aynsley's
headed next. To be fair, this isn't quite going to
be the album to convert Oasis fans, let alone Westlife
fans but those of us lucky enough to have heard this,
let's spread the word. The time shouldn't be long
coming.
