Little Diesel - Kissy Boys - 1974
from the cd "No Lie"

Quite possibly THE most important reissue (if you can call it that) with serious NC roots. This album is a must have. Word on the street is, there might be some a reunion show in the near future. Play this LOUD!!!!

Below is a VERY brief paragraph taken from the band's web site. Go here and get the full story.

The Iceberg Theory of music history goes like this: the most potent stuff is always hidden below the surface, and if only we’d heard the music of J. S. Bach’s second cousin twice removed, all would be different. In the Winston-Salem, NC, rock scene of the early 1970s, Little Diesel was the stealth missile in the silo, the band that had the courage to play exactly how they wanted and what they wanted. The dB’s and Let’s Active were to hog history’s footnotes of the period, but Little Diesel are the ones who kick-started it all.
