- Opens my heart....
- I have been grateful for the work of Krishna Das for some time now. I have all of his CDs, and appreciate them all.
That said, this CD feels particularly special to me. It is rich with feeling and spirit - richer than usual. Within a few seconds of hearing the samples of this offering, I rushed to buy it. It touched me. Deeply.
And when I was able to listen to the entire effort, I was even more touched. It truly opened my heart. The feelings held in these sacred songs helped me to feel. And since this CD came into my life at a time when my heart was closed, and feeling was hard, I'm especially grateful to Krishna Das for this work.
Each time I listen to this wonderful recording, I am moved. Sometimes I moved to deep peace. Sometimes I am moved to rise and dance. Sometimes I am moved to tears. This CD moves me.
Of all the many offerings by Krishna Das, this is my personal favorite. You can't go wrong with any of his CDs, of course. This one just speaks to my heart.
Thank you for Krishna Das for the gift of your voice, and the transparency of your spirit. You've touched me and I'm grateful. - 2008-11-14, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Fight Stress. Krishna Das in Autumn Voice
- This is sung by an extremely mellow=voiced KD. Shri Ram Jai Ram begins with a slowed down tempo, which at first I didn't like, but now appreciate very much, particularly at the third tempo, which is a bit faster. The fourth tempo is where I feel it ought to have been all along, but it's a process. Listening helps you undergo the process in a way that provides you with the feeling that you have made some kind of emotional progress. It's as though you work your way there and it took me a while to get it. My favorite is Devakinandan Gopala. Listen at the end of a stressful day and let it take you to place filled with peace.
Thanks again, KD - 2008-11-13, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Nice, but get "Live on Earth..." first
- This is a nice album, but if you don't already have "Live on Earth ... For a Limited Time Only" I would highly recommend you get that album first. "Live" features a spotless performance with KD, backup singers and music in top form. I'd argue that it's the quintessential KD recording.
"Heart Full of Soul" is a very nice addition to KD's library, but the audio quality is not quite as perfect as "Live," and there is some noticeable strain in KD's vocal performance. Despite these minor flaws, "Heart" still definitely worth having for your library if you're a fan of Krishna Das' music. But if you're buying his music for the first time, or don't otherwise have it, the "Live on Earth" album the one you want to get, no contest. - 2008-10-24, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- good stuff!
- I am a BIG fan of live (not studio) bhajans.
Most "new age" singers mix up the traditional call and response
bhajans with synthesizers, guitars and such for CD releases.
All you need is a walla (kirtan leader, ie: Krishna Das),
people to sing responses, a harmonium and tablas, for a perfect
bhajan recording.
This is a live (church?) recording of traditional call and response
bhajans. Perfect to sing along - time and time again.
This stuff does not get old.
Buy it, sing along, enjoy.
A bountiful treat for your heart. - 2008-10-16, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Highly recommend.
- If you like Krishna Das, I think you will love this one. At one of his concerts I heard him sing Jesus on the mainline and was very happy to see that it is in this collection!
