Diesel’s New Song ‘Six Steel Strings’ Is A Ross Wilson Song
If you think that new Diesel song has a bit of a Daddy Cool feel to it then you would be right. Diesel co-wrote ‘Six Steel Strings’ 30 years ago with Daddy Cool/Mondo Rock legend Ross Wilson.
“It was 1991”, says Diesel, “I think Ross (Wilson) saw me as a young bluesman in a long tradition. He asked about my background and put details into the lyrics, a tongue-in-cheek take on my life story in demo form that we knocked up together in an hour. It was only rediscovered when he moved house last year, and the timing couldn’t have been better because it’s such a perfect fit.”

Willie Hugh Nelson was born on this day in 1933, making him 88 today. One of the most popular country figures of all time - especially in the outlaw country sub-genre - his discography includes 94 studio albums (consisting of 69 solo studio albums and 25 collaborative studio albums), 13 live albums, 51 compilation albums and 41 video albums, he s acted in more than 30 films, and he is widely-known for his activism and political views - mainly for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. He has won many, many awards in his lifetime, and he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1993, and he received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1998. And he s still going strong, pivoting to online performances in the time of COVID-19, and petitioning President Biden to make April 20 a national holiday. (Photo by Taylor Hill/Getty Images)
