I have just gone to chant with him and a band of his talented musicians in Big Island, and it was blissful(or soulful, you may say)experience as always.
This CD is an updated version of KD's live kirtan. Well, there may be an argument about sound quality, but this is how he performes his Kirtan right now. Bajhan selctions and their playing orders(except "Jesus on the main line"). Of course, not all the bajhans are in this, but the essence of his live Kirtan is all here.

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"... more info
