This week on The Mixtape, we’re joined by iconic Australian singer-songwriter Diesel, as he takes us behind the scenes of his soulful new album Bootleg Melancholy—a collection rich with emotion, storytelling, and signature guitar work.

Diesel shares the surreal moment of meeting soul legend Al Green, and reflects on the influence of the Emerson Brothers and his deep musical lineage. From studio sessions to serendipitous encounters, this episode is packed with insight, nostalgia, and heart.

Plus, we explore Diesel’s personal soundtrack as he creates a mixtape of the songs and artists that have shaped his sound across the decades.

🎸 A must-listen for fans of blues, soul, and rock storytelling at its finest.

🎧 Hit play and step into the sonic world of Diesel.
