Forgotten Gem: Johnny Diesel & the Injectors (1989)
At the time, critical praise was heaped on the Australian band, fronted by the said Johnny Diesel, who was actually one Mark Lizotte. The album should be checked out by all rock fans as it is a real forgotten gem, chock full of meaty guitars and fantastic singing. The record was produced by well-known American producer Terry Manning (ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, Bryan Adams) and sounds as if it were written by a heart-worn Delta bluesman.
The album rips out the gate with “Looking for Love“, which absolutely sets the bar for massive driving blues rock. This is a song which Joe Bonamassa could only dream of writing. It is then followed up with “Parisienne Hotel“, which swaggers with AC/DC strutting and blasts out the holes in the sonic walls.
Other standout tracks include the heartbreaker “Cry in Shame“, the groove-tastic “Soul Revival“, the brooding “Burn” and the swampy stomper “Thang II“.
Johnny, why did you leave the sun behind? Get back to playing rock like this and get the Injectors back to playing like the rock stars they are. See you in the front row!
