Some of Allen's best songs make it worth it
Review written by John Fitzgerald, December 29th, 2004

Though "All that I am" is a stronger album overall for Allen, "Delta dreamland" has some of Deborah's finest songs and makes it worth it for those alone on top of others you may find you like. Billy is on three songs here, the best track "Two shades of blue" which although perhaps has a predictable melody once heard but it's strong vocals and slight doo wop feel (due to good backing vocals by Billy & Rafe VanHoy & DA) make it a must and you can hear Billy good on this track more so than on the others he's on though the electric guitar he is listed as playing on "Chain lightning" is nice signature Billy rhythm guitar. It was co written by Billy (along with DA & VanHoy) and is a haunting Johnny Cash tinged subtle gallop. "Undeniable" has only Billy & Deborah on background vocals but maybe due to the up beat mandolin featured arrangement you can't hear him particularly well on it and it's the weakest of the three songs he's on from the platter anyways. As for the rest, the title track opens the album as an effective uplifting builder and there are some other fair moments like the strumming bouncy yodel of "Rock me in the cradle of love" (which appears again at the end of the CD as a "bonus track" listed there as "Rock me (Dance mix)" with the only difference I noticed being more echo on the vocals and emphasis on the bouncy rhythms), "If you're not gonna love me" which is clave & piano mid tempo fare with a pretty good chirpy chorus, "Into my life" which is an acoustic strumming ballad with good piano touches and it doesn't sound too Country due to the steel guitar restraint (but the steel does takes the solo) and "Long time lovin' you" isn't a bad galloping track but it falters in comparison to "Chain lightning" and "Emotional moon" is a predictable Country swing and though "All the loving and the hurting too" is an OK keys ballad and the strumming acoustic backing helps, the steel guitar yawns keep it closer to Country than it should be. When all is said and done though, at least two of the three Billy appearance tracks here will make you glad you tracked down this album.

"Rock Me (In The Cradle Of Love) (Dance Mix)" is listed as a "bonus track" but appears to be on all known versions of this album.
