Dizzy Reed drops another track, “Mother Theresa” from his debut solo album.
Launching his debut solo album in Sydney in February, Dizzy Reed has signed a further deal with independent record label Golden Robot Records to take the physical release of “Rock ‘n Roll Ain’t Easy” to the rest of the world on June 1st, 2018.
Currently available for pre-order outside of Australia and New Zealand, and previously only available in digital format in other territories, fans across the world can now get their hands on a hard copy of the album on CD or, even better, purple vinyl, here.

Considering Reed thought this album may never see the light of day, it did and many have been surprised – pleasantly surprised – with what finally emerged… good, hard Rock and Roll.
Born in Hinsdale, Illinois and raised in Colorado, Dizzy started his musical journey in early childhood. His grandmother, who lived in the apartment above, played the organ, teaching him on her Lowry.
Growing up, Dizzy was exposed to his father’s love of Booker T and the MGs, and once young Dizzy realised that was the same instrumenthe could play, he was hooked. By the age of 12 he was touring with his band. Other early influences were John Lord, Gregg Rolie, and Grand Funk Railroad. In 1985, Dizzy moved to Los Angeles, where a wild, rich musical scene was hitting its stride.
While rehearsing in a Hollywood practice room, Dizzy befriended Axl Rose, and in 1990 he joined Guns N’ Roses on keys, percussion and backing vocals. In 2012, Dizzy was inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the band. He has also toured with the Psychedelic Furs and has recorded and written with supergroup The Dead Daisies, as well as singing lead vocals with his side project, Hookers and Blow.
Dizzy is a father of four and lives with his New Zealand-born wife, Nadja, in LA. On surviving and flourishing in rocks ‘sharky’ waters, he says, “Never stop learning and exploring, but don’t forget what you do best. Stick to your guns”.
