Diana Steele
Diana Steele is a Texas singer/songwriter whose songs have been recorded in the past by Nashville artists and Texas artists alike. Diana once lived not too far from Buck Owens and the Bakersfield sound, but she's spent most of her life in Texas, and it shows. Becky Brenner, program director for Seattle's KMPS, the top country station in the Pacific Northwest had this to say about Diana's "Lovesick Fool":
"Love the western swing sound of 'Lovesick Fool'!! She has a bit of a Trisha Yearwood vocal style combined with Patty Loveless. Plus, you gotta love it when someone writes painful lyrics to a fast beat. There's a lot of emotion in her songs, just like you hear in the blues. With classic country sounds like the title track and "So, So Long", to the beautiful wedding ballad "I Do", Diana brings her heart and soul straight to you from "Out In The Country".
Written and Performed by Diana Steele
Her vocals echo with the ghost of country's past, a timeless, soaring voice that reflects a sun-drenched love for life and the blue-moon melancholy of heartbreak with equal grace and power.
