Australian Musician’s Greg Phillips chats with Diesel about his new album Sunset Suburbia (out August 28), life in lockdown and a new blues album he’s working on.
After more than 30 years in the top tier of Australian rock, soul and blues, Diesel (Mark Lizotte) has delivered an album that melds all the varied sides of his musical personality – and reveals a few new ones. World, meet Sunset Suburbia.
Sunset Suburbia is Diesel at his timeless best. An album of ten new songs, it is a superb display of the diversity of this multi-instrumentalist’s musicianship working in harmony with his singing, songwriting and self-taught production skills.
2020 sees Diesel at the top of his game, as he self-isolates at his suburban home in Sydney writing, playing, singing and producing music – there is even talk of a blues album being recorded, although time will tell if it sees the light of day.
