Angel

In his latest CD, Angel, Lew Doty has moved into a new area, something he has named American kirtan. Having explored and enjoyed traditional kirtan music, Lew decided to write call and response, repetitive chants as a means of drawing his audience into a deeper connection with the Divine, a method that has been employed in kirtan music for centuries. Practitioners of the form repeat the names of God reaching an almost hypnotic state. Lew felt that using English words would aid the uninitiated listener to reach this deepened awareness in a way that is more familiar to them. Angel also features Lew's “God pop” songs that have become his trademark. Always deep and meaningful, often playful, Angel has something for everyone.
