3 stars The Family is not as strong as previous efforts
This was a long time coming. After Del's previous two hot releases I was sure this would at least match them in intensity. If you are a true Del fan, you'll want this if only for a couple of tracks. Perhaps they were out of breath after the effort with Steve Earle.
