On this engaging new ‘autobiographical’ record, Popa Chubby charts the rite of passage as a young man comes of age into his own blues world. It takes up where the 2000 album “How’d A White Boy Get The Blues” (DFGCD8500) left off. The young man is no longer young - he now holds the devil’s guitar - a well-travelled 66 Strat. The 13 songs on this record represent a journey through the real life New York blues of Popa Chubby - from the opening talking slide blues of “Slide Devil Man Slide”, through the urbane rap and middle eastern flavours of “Smugglers Game”, the western saga of “Young Guns”, and the heart-wrenching “Preacher Man”.

Sonically this record offers the most textural Chubby to date with lots of slide, acoustic, mandolin, sitar, and a heavy dose of hard blues/rock lead guitar - crossing the borders of blues, rock, rap, roots and funk. He also offers two interesting covers : Hendrix’s “Bold As Love” and Jesse Mae Hemphill’s “In This World”. Popa is backed by his regular bass player Nicholas D’Amato and drummer Steve Holley, plus occasional input from Mike Lattrell, piano, and Chris Reddan, percussion.

“Stealing The Devil’s Guitar” comes in a double gatefold digipak sleeve with 16 page booklet plus Enhanced CD features with video-clip, photos, information, etc)
