Krishna Das: Trust in the Heart

I write about Krishna Das every chance I get — here’s the primer, and then there’s this and this and this and this and this — because his chants work on so many levels. And not just on me. It’s not hype that Krishna Das is considered “the Springsteen of kirtan.”

“Trust in the Heart” is a bookend to “Bruce on Broadway.” The production is stripped down, the instrumentalists are almost an afterthought. And KD’s voice! As he says, he’s not a performer, he’s just offering his voice as a prayer. This time I feel he’s on his knees, asking for extra help. Or maybe that’s me. [To buy the CD from Amazon, click here.
