Johnny Diesel & The Injectors - Soul Revival (1989)

[@CarolynLawrie-g8d]

Absolute Hunk! and grooving still to his music in 2024!

[@minkles1330]

We had to do a 5 minute oral presentation for music class back in grade 8 and I picked Diesel and played this song haha

[@drewsale7288]

What a banger. A mix of soul, Motown and heartland rock. I saw JD& I at Festival Hall in Brisbane in the late 80's and it was a great show. Bands back then were real tour dogs. They lived on the road until they crashed through or crashed.

The most Underrated artists in the world 🌎 period.

[@pdloder]

Yes indeed

[@simmorella]

Saw them heaps live in the early 90's. UNBELIEVABLE. HONESTLY.

[@phuckendeadly]

Bought the album & played the hell out of it!!!!

[@lunastargoddess1632]

Me too, over and over and over

[@nickhoare6616]

That Charger 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@LeopoldoNotarianni-rk9vv]

And in '89 they were worth peanuts believe it or not. They were a hard sell. Four grand got you an immaculate one. A survivor was lucky to fetch 2 grand tops.

[@shaunrichens6820]

I like this song. It makes you want to crank it up really loud.

[@michellewatts5907]

I do always🎶🎶🎶🎶💯

[@grahamcox8385]

Crank it up To the maximum volume possible 👍😁

[@LeopoldoNotarianni-rk9vv]

Yep. On the Kenwood, Pioneer or Alpine

[@melmarie43]

Still bloody awesome song 🎸🎸🎸🎸😍😍😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@rushdiishmail9686]

Great song.👌🏾

"Nobody needs a reason to be free". *Love* this line.

[@TheMorningtrain]

He wrote that line all those years ago but fast forward to 2020 and he loved a lockdown as much as the rest of them and never spoke out against them. To find an artist that did I had to look hard and it was Tina Arena, the only dissenting Australian artist out there who spoke up.

Awesome track. One of his best.

[@MATT-em1tn]

100% top band and singer, love how this man brings the harmonic sound of his guitar to his voice. Nothin better.

[@samanthatheriot8879]

Such an underrated musician, this brings back so many memories.....

[@stantheman3713]

Bought this cassette... new this kid had something .

[@BrendanMcPhillips-fb6gt]

Well done boys. Epic song Johnny 👍👍🤘🇦🇺✌️

[@janettewoering7809]

The cd is still in my car. Volume up!!

[@scotthowe3786]

Hope that the Charger still rocks the streets.

[@nevman1919]

never forget the night we had a spliff upstairs in the Mens, like the Gigs,, Unforgettable.

[@Davo-gj7gl]

Killer song a bloody classic 👍

[@BradPham]

Awesome tune. Always dug the harmonic pinch in the main guitar riff.

[@salsmell6815]

Sensational ❤

[@nullcorporation2332]

Great blues rock.

Love you johnny 💕💞💓

[@WayneWoodall]

My first vinyl album.

[@iwishilivedinafreecountry5749]

Fuck I miss Australia... I've lived here my whole life but it isn't Australia any more.

[@thefinisher2010]

Couldnt agree with you more,,,we've lost our identity

[@TheMorningtrain]

Yep.

[@neridahicks7160]

What’s not to love here ❤

[@joroxx1]

LOVE FOREVER 😍🥰🤩

[@michaelwormald1799]

Oh the memories

[@heinejohansen5450]

Had the tape in the early 90s. Took it to Europe. People were absolutely crazy about the blues-rock sound. Johnny should have stayed with The Injectors. Much better than what he later released ;)

[@michaelmarshall1713]

He dumped them for his own (ego ) solo career .

[@grahamcox8385]

Deisel sounded way better with the injectors that in his solo career, he rocked way harder with the band behind him

[@TheMorningtrain]

I like him solo, but I tend to agree his best work was with the band in this harder rockier version of things. The whole album is perfection and I wish he had released more albums in this style. I’ve always felt a bit short changed we didn’t get more of these type of songs with the harder edge to them

[@bugtecpestcontrol7634]

True...should have stuck to the image and genre until he got known outside of Australia at least

[@fourocker]

Yeah same, played it to death, oh and BTW his name is Mark ✌

[@michellewatts5907]

And how goodlookin is he what a HONEY POT yum My kind of MAN😜

Love the Charger! And be stuffed..is that an AP5??

[@officialdieselmusic]

I think so!

[@JohnNaylor-n5r]

Just wonder if the Val’s are still around?

[@markogilvy9939]

Joey from friends was in an Australian band who knew

[@LtFrankDrebbin]

I'm back, only for the Valiants though

[@LeopoldoNotarianni-rk9vv]

A few Mopars there. Diesel must have had a love of the Pentastar

[@pdloder]

What and where is that old paved road?

[@RadioSnivins]

Interesting JD&TI fact: this song's original title was Arsehole Revival, and it was about Jennifer Keyte.

[@fayewittwer5208]

Why???

[@RadioSnivins]

​@@fayewittwer5208 Lol. I'd completely forgotten about this comment. Google Johnny Diesel Jennifer Keyte rumour

sounds like something for the church.

There is a soul revival church lol 😂😂😂😂😂

[@justdont..84.]

Y is Jimmy Barnes more famous than diesel?

[@ALITISA78]

Almost perfect, love this song minus that Fn tamborine.. It ruins it for me. Its continious and annoying if u hear that above the other instruments

[@carolinehaf21]

LOL I've heard this song 1000000 times since I was a kid and as soon as I read that, the tambourine kicked in and now can't be unheard! My ears usually picks up guitar and drums first. Dammit.

[@michaelmarshall1713]

Good fun good days . What a pity old Mark just used this to launch his own career and dump the other guys high and dry.

[@TheMorningtrain]

We never heard much about that, it’s like they just ceased to exisit, did any of them ever do any interviews about what went down and how they feel about it?

[@michaelmarshall1713]

@@TheMorningtrain Now that I am not to sure on? But Old Johnny (Mark) said that they were never a serious band . He thinks pretty darn highly of himself .

[@patrickniehus3132]

@@michaelmarshall1713 he may well think highly of himself. And they may indeed not have been a serious band. Bands break up all the time. I will give him the benefit of the doubt and suspend judgement on whether he just dumped them and moved on. Because I don't know. What I will say is this though - it would be hard to sustain a long career playing songs of the Injectors ilk. and perhaps like any serious artist he wanted to explore other sounds the other guys in the band didn't. It happens.
