5.0 out of 5 stars
of Professional Interest, January 29, 2002

For those seeking remarkable engineering underlying powerful music; listen up! This disk is commonly used by touring audio engineers to 'ring the room' in advance of mixing a live rock show. First, that tells you this music sounds good LOUD. Secondly, the pros use it because its' engineering is perfection: crisp high end, clear and prominent mid-range, clean and powerful lows. The dynamic range is perfect of EQ-ing your PA system. Trust me. 20,000 people every night agree with me.

Prince of The Deep Water, December 10, 2003
After hearing Delta Rain for the first time, I was haunted by it; that, as well as the fact that I couldn't find out who the artist was. Time past, and I find myself having dinner with some friends in England, with a particularly nice tape playing in the other room. I was involved in Conversation, and, didn't mention the music until Delta Rain came on, and, I just about jumped out of my chair. My hosts told me all about it. Then, they asked me to pick up the CD in the States for them. To this point, I thought the artist was American, due to the atmosphere that the music set for me. Needless to say, it was almost totally unavailable, aside from an import that went for around $45. I passed. Give it two more years. I am in a thrift store in Colorado Springs, digging through a pile of used tapes, when I come across a brand new cassette, still in the plastic. It was like provedence, finding this tape. Talk about a diamond hiding Among the rough. I never found the CD for my pals in the UK, but, I am on my 2nd tape, and, have just ordered the CD for myself. This jewel will last a lifetime. Wm. Topley is definitely an unsung master.

Unforgettable Music, June 5, 2001
By A Customer
My brother bought a cassette copy of this album when I was about 16. He played it a few times, and I overheard, captured by the deep soulful voice of the singer, William Topley. I listened to this tape over and over until it was completely worn out. Thankfully, through Amazon, I was able to find a copy on CD which shouldn't wear out for a long time! I can only echo the sentiments of others who have reviewed this CD. William Topley has a truly amazing voice - powerful and expressive. His songs, co-written by the other band members, are like poetry and stories set to unforgettable tunes. There is so much variety here, from the beautiful ballad 'Delta Rain' to the upbeat 'Highway 5' and the deep growl of 'Back from Managua'. The musicians too are admirable, with some great guitar work and atmospheric background music on tracks like 'I Want You'. This album will be appreciated by all who are tired of manufactured pop-rock which all sounds the same these days. This is real music, which will never go out of fashion.
