The acquisition of a twelve string guitar in the summer of '07 is largely what got the Another Hunt project off the back-burner where it had been sitting for years. That new guitar got J playing and working on "Pressin' On" which calls for an unusual guitar tuning. Roll on Diesel is another case where J went to the guitar, strummed it forgetting that it was in an alternate tuning, and then weaved the unexpected results into a song.
The title refers to St. Theresa's Diesel, the band J was part of in 1994-95. While crafting this song, he was also re-mastering an old tape of St. T's Diesel. The inspiration from listening to that old recording helped inspire the creation of this song.
