The big thing I get out of DK is some of their songs, I will use and example that I sing. DK030 trk 4, the Animals, House Of The Rising Sun. I've got a low Johnny Cash style voice and do sing him a lot. Not on DK, but the above mentioned track I can sing on DK I cannot even begin to want to sing any other brand with that song. In my area few people have any DK discs that they use in their shows. Since I've went with Hoster, I've included all of mine. Which modestly is only 254 tracks. I do use them when I get a husky voiced lady wanting to sing say Me & Bobby McGee, it has gotten complaints but also it has gotten "What brand is that I like it better, and where can I get that disc?" I do like the ablility to make an instant choice (Thank you Hoster), and usually tell the singer that I'm doing it and if they don't like the version I switch them to another one. Mostly being right about the statement, "That's what they are used to" I gave a lady Folsum Prison Blues, on chartbusters I know where she normally sings they have a 18000 song preloaded CAVS and that song is Sweet Georgia Brown, she complained about the track not liking it, I asked her if she would like to sing the other version right then she said yes. That pleased her and her friends then told her the first one was much better. So what to do? Me I'll give her SGB when she wants it again, unless she agrees with her friends. But the difference in each version of that song, since the Walk The Line Movie came out and made a bunch of people Johnny Cash fans, is incredible. I have it on SC, SGB, SAVA, CB, MM & DK. Some songs DK all the way. I like them and would buy the whole shebang if given the chance.
