"...an arresting confluence of all-original country to bluegrass material (mostly written by Hornsby and fellow guitarist Danny Holmes) with some Mark Knopfler-style vocals (Listen To The Wind), chill-out instrumentals (Starting Tonight, Tomar) and excellent uptempo picking that deserves a wide audience."
"Diesel Therapy have been described as being like musical Jack Daniels, which is pretty much spot-on, as far as three-word band descriptions go.
It sounds like it was recorded on the Delta, and a quick perusal of the sleeve reveals that it was ... at Cluny Studios near the Ouseburn Delta, where the Ouseburn river meets the Tyne!
This album is an extremely laid-back, low-key slice of Americana, seemingly made to go hand-in-hand with that fine activity of sippin' whisky as the sun goes down. Vocalist Jim Hornsby has a rich, weathered sweetness to his voice that complements the languid style of the music.

"It’s music to smile to – a drift over ragtime, western swing, country blues and occasionally a Tulsa-groove...they’re Musical Jack Daniels"
