Artist description Windeagle Records Press Release March, 2002 Unique...soulful.....heartbreaking...hopeful...different. These words and more have been used to describe the music of DIESEL. Her producer calls it, "Dieselmusic". However you choose to describe her, this artist has a way of charming and communicating with her audience in a way that is all her own. Her intimacy, message, and passion reminds you of past singers like Judy Garland and Linda Ronstadt as well as present day singers like Jewel, Paula Cole, Sophie Hawkins, and kd lang. Diesel will move you; I promise. Money back guarantee. With her trademark blend of strength and vulnerability, Diesel has completed her sophomore CD project, entitled "Big Bad World". Recorded both on the island paradise of Maui and on the mainland, the latest songs give fresh insight into this unusual and seductive singer. From the emotional opening lines of the lead-off song "I Surrender", to the spiritually haunting performance of the final song "Afraid of the Dark", the listener is led upon a journey through the heart of a woman, of every woman. Put on your headphones or crank up your sound system, and let yourself be transported into Diesel's world. It's a world of learning, love, loss, discovery, hope, and dreams. As I said, she will move you. - Joshua David Whitmore President, Windeagle Records

Press Reviews "Diesel's.....album, I'll Be Ready In A Minute...succeeds because of its sincerity and simplicity. Diesel is mild-mannered and soft-spoken, and doesn't rely on excessive twang or studio gloss to get her point across. She sounds soothing and down to earth, with song arrangements to match. In a musical genre whose hottest starlets currently are virtual pop-rock divas like Shania Twain and Deana Carter, Diesel's lack of glitz and gloss, coupled with her basic style and sound is a refreshing change of pace." Jim Price, The Final Cut "The centerpiece is Diesel herself, a willowy slip of a singer whose soulful, knowing vocals belie her seeming youthfulness.......her phrasing is breathy but playful, tugging equally at the listener's heart and shoelaces...Diesel serves notice of her ownsongwriting prowess with Never Enough, an astute, acerbic look at people who seem to have everything. For sheer vocal virtuosity,the nod goes to the smears, falsettos, surprise changes and bang-up finale of 'Love Can't Liv e With Lies'." Tom Stevens, Maui's Free Press" Soft-spoken, thought-provokin' folk-balladeer Diesel should be the next Jewel.....the subtle heart of Suzanne Vega, the vocal honesty of Johnny Cash, the pop charisma of Sheryl Crow....you can't stop this story-teller from weaving her everydayspell upon you with her soothing voice..." Gary Arthur Brown, GODSOFMUSIC.com"Diesel's CD, I'll Be Ready in a Minute,  is fresh and filling like mom's homemade apple pie.  It's contemporary music sung in a voice so sweet it could melt you.  Comparing her music to other artists doesn't work. It's sort of like Darwin's Finches.  Out there on the Galapagos Islands, the little birds were unique, just like music from Hawaii.....breezy and cool like a spring day. Like its tropical surroundings, it's warm and beautiful."-Fran Gray, portlandmusiccentral.comm
