“ Dave Russell’s 'Dancing in the Heart' delivers: it is eloquent kirtan that goes straight to the heart and makes you want to stay there … and dance! ”
— Russill Paul, producer of the CD 'Bhava: Ecstatic Heart' and author of 'The Yoga of Sound'.
“ I just love the sound that Dave brings to this recording. His voice engages the chanter(s) with a beautiful spirit and energy that brings the listener closer to the divine with each verse. ”
— -- Claude Stein, ‘The Natural Singer’ workshops.
