About this album

Diesel and Dust is an album by Midnight Oil that was released in 1987 under the CBS record label. The album is a concept album about the struggles of the Australian Aborigines and environmental causes, issues both near and dear to the band, and follows the Black Fella White Fella tour of remote Indigenous communities with the Warumpi Band in 1985. The rhythm of “Beds are Burning” is said to be inspired by the noise of their vehicles’ wheels on the corrugated dirt roads in the region.
