The Lobbyist is the third studio album by American-Australian hard rocker Diesel. It features twelve tracks: four live, five acoustic, and three studio recordings. The album was released on 9 August 1993 via EMI Records and was co-produced by Diesel with Don Gehman. It peaked at No. one on the ARIA Albums Chart and followed directly after his previous number-one album, Hepfidelity (1992).[1] In New Zealand it reached No. 27.[2] The album's title is in "reference to the amount of time he spends in hotels."[3]
Three singles were released from the album: "Never Miss Your Water" (July 1993), "Masterplan" (October) and "I've Been Loving You Too Long" (January 1994).[1] The album was certified gold in Australia.[4] At the ARIA Music Awards of 1994 Diesel won Best Male Artist for the second of three times in a row. He was also nominated for Album of the Year for The Lobbyist and Single of the Year, Song of the Year, Producer of the Year for "Never Miss Your Water" – the latter nomination also covered his work on "Masterplan" and "I've Been Loving You Too Long".[5]
The three studio tracks on The Lobbyist were added to the 1993 European release of Hepfidelity.
