DIESEL (Robert Hart) – Into The Fire [Escape Music reissue 2022]
Escape is reissuing the British band / project DIESEL album “Into The Fire“, featuring some of the best musicians in today’s rock scene. With lead vocals from the great Robert Hart (Solo / Bad Company / Manfred Mann’s Earth Band) and guitars from FM’s very own Jim Kirkpatrick, this is a match made in heaven as they combine their songwriting skills and musicianship to come up with this fantastic debut by Diesel.
Diesel plays solid traditional classic rock in the manner of Bad Company, the sort of music that has firm roots in the classic vein of British hard rock with a blues element. Accompanied by Jim Copley (Manfred Man’s Earth Band, Go West, and Paul Rodgers) and Pat Davey (Seven) who provide the solid rhythm backbone of the band, this quartet can give you great songs and first rate melodies all day long.
It’s great to see that the guest list includes Adam Wakeman (Black Sabbath, Snakecharmer) and Steve Overland (FM, Shadowman), rounded off with the mixing skills of Tommy Hansen. From “Fortune Favours the Brave” to “Brand New Day” we are presented with delight after delight as they effortlessly give us an array of classic rock tunes…
