Stephen Dale Petit is commonly punted as the saviour of the British blues movement with his firebrand guitar providing the soundtrack for the forthcoming march upon Jericho. Throwing in a gospel choir into “Let There Be More Light” does add a nice spiritual feel and neatly counterpoints the big rock licks stamped on the song by the man himself.
Oddly enough, “Let There Be More Light” ends up sounding more like something that Delaney and Bonnie would have come up with in the seventies than something brand spanking new. Given that retro is always in these days, that’s probably a smart commercial move but it would be nice to see Stephen Dale Petit break some new ground every now and then.
