Stephen Dale Petit's blues guitar odyssey started at a very young age. His almost obsessive passion and talent has carried him through drug addiction, alcoholism and, ultimately, salvation and recovery. His journey has seen him homeless and busking for food on street corners. It has taken him from media buzz tube platform performer to star of UK Festival stages; from focus of Underground traveller's delight to inspirational University music lecturer. It is a journey which has seen him play alongside many guitar icons and, finally, become one himself.

And so Stephen Dale Petit's amazing Blues guitar odyssey continues. If his current popularity, music industry and media opinion places him very much at the vanguard of an ongoing New Blues Revolution , standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the likes of The Black Keys, The White Stripes, Joe Bonamassa and Seasick Steve Petit is, quite honestly, not too concerned because he is, let nobody forget, first and foremost'on a mission to spread the word about the blues and about the guitar'

Stephen Dale Petit's amazing blues guitar odyssey started at a very young age indeed. His journey has seen him homeless, busking for food on street corners and pennies on London Underground. It has taken him, in a matter of months, from much-admired tube platform performer to star of UK Festival stages; from object of passing traveller interest to inspirational University lecturer and all-round guitar icon.

Stephen's childhood and formative years were spent in Orange County, California. Far too young to have experienced the Blues-influenced rock delights of The Beatles, Yardbirds, Cream, Hendrix and Zeppelin, these very soon found their way into his consciousness and he was playing his first Gibson Guitar (an SG Junior) aged 7. By his mid teens (still way too young to even be allowed in such places) he was gigging in clubs across California five nights a week - with bands comprised of men 10 years his senior, including legendary Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Randy Rhoads.

A 90s relocation to London led to chance (and hugely beneficial) meetings and musical collaborations with the likes of The Clash's Mick Jones and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, a support slot for Eric Clapton and new acquaintances with longtime heroes Phil May and Dick Taylor of The Pretty Things and Keith Richards and Ian Stewart of the Rolling Stones, all of which upped Stephen's game and musical currency considerably.

The fifth album from fiery guitarist Stephen Dale Petit, Cracking The Code is a sizzling collection that delivers eleven all original songs with raw assurance. Recorded at Nashville's storied Blackbird Studio with three time Grammy award winner Vance Powell (for Jack White's The Raconteurs, Buddy Guy and Jars Of Clay) the music is both sonically adventurous and highly addictive. Petit’s legendary prowess with a Gibson guitar has earned him accolades from the likes of Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor and Ronnie Wood and here is turned to the service of deftly crafted, lyrically rich songs which Petit sings with searing passion and melodic grit. Musical guests Dr John, The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney, Rolling Stone Mick Taylor and Chris Barber join forces with Petit’s impossibly young band (average age 20) and the album also features the last music ever made by Howlin’ Wolf’s master guitarist Hubert Sumlin, recorded days before his death. Though strong characters all, the guests never overshadow proceedings; as the UK’s premier Classic Rock magazine pronounced: “Trowelling on the stardust doesn’t always work, but this sounds as ****ing great as you’d imagine”. Highlights include the strutting irresistible opener “Holla” (with Messrs. Taylor, Sumlin and Carney) and “Wonder”, a fresh take on sexual desire that boasts one of the best guitar solos of the decade. The giant swampy riff of “Get You Off” (Dr John and Sumlin) is complimented by the incendiary swagger of “Muzzle” and “Riot City” whilst the filthy blues quotient is raised to fever pitch on the menacing “Slideway”, sung in full blues howl and brandishing a new language in guitar solos. “Shotgun Venus”, a hard charging hat tip to Cream’s “Sunshine Of Your Love” was co-written with Cream lyricist Pete Brown. Like hidden gems, acoustic “My Friend Bob” and tribute-in-song “Hubert’s Blues” (Taylor, Dr John and Chris Barber) display a finesse and lightness of touch that add a depth reminiscent of timeless great rock albums. Or as Classic Rock magazine would have it: “A killer album. Hats off.”
