‘No Regrets’ is a rather curious album. Playful, eclectic and uplifting, the record showcases all the rich artistry Tim Ainslie has to offer. Teaming up with a number of collaborators under the moniker Tim Ainslie & The Vibes, the British, Ipswich-based rocker crafts a vibrant body of work steeped in traditional blues and rock-n-roll elements, together with a brighter, funkier outlook. Such a formula is frankly irresistible, making for a listening experience that’s familiar, yet intense and relatable.
Originally released in 2018 as ‘Pint Half Full’, ‘No Regrets’ finds its current shiny shape thanks to sound engineer Jim Griffiths at Principal Audio, remixing and remastering all tracks with professional flair. The result is a newly-found and super-polished sonic livery, still maintaining Ainslie’s raw energy and limitless charisma. Guitar solos are now almost legendary, often sharing a certain Stevie Ray Vaughan-esque quality. What more could you want?
Championing a long, productive music career, Tim Ainslie seems to have reached his artistic zenith, sharing decades of compositional wisdom in ten nuggets of bluesy and classic rock joy. That’s what one can expect from ‘No Regrets’ – give it a go!
