New Song From Ben & Rose: “Lord I Don’t Need A Mansion”

Well so they teased us with one great song…and then delivered another great song – nice one there guys! 😉

Several days ago, I posted a 23-second clip that Ben & Rose released of a new song they are apparently working on (a cover of “Dream of Me”) – expecting that the full version would be out soon.

But instead of that, they’ve just released a completely different one – “Lord I Don’t Need A Mansion”.

This is another one written by their producer Conrad Fisher, who we saw in the previous short clip on guitar.

From all I’ve heard from him, Conrad is a great songwriter and is the one who wrote one of my Ben & Rose favorites, “Would You Like To Buy Some Flowers”.

It sounds like he has done it again with a country-tinged gospel tune: “Lord I don’t need a mansion on a hilltop…I’ve learned to love a simple cottage here below.”

And Ben & Rose’s performance is as usual top-notch.

Also, some fun visuals in this one – amazing aerials shots and flying around a pasture with some sort of large-horned beasts frolicking about (I’m sure someone can tell me what variety of beast those are 🙂 ).

Have a listen!

Reader Jim Halverson, who gave us a look at the Amish of Lagrange County, Indiana last summer, recently attended Yoder’s Consignment Auction in the same community. Jim spotted differences in the styles of clothing of those in attendance – particularly noticeable in the women’s dress. Clearly the Amish at the event were not all from the same community (not a surprise for a large auction)….

 This is a little conversation I recorded with my friend, Ben, who belongs to an Amish church in Lancaster County.

Amish Country music couple Ben and Rose are back with a new cover: “When You Say Nothing At All”. This is a more modern-feeling country song and more along the lines of a soft ballad. The video description tells us that it “was written by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz and most famously sung by Allison Krauss.” In the video, it’s Rose singing lead… …with…

I just got off the phone with an Amish friend, “Alvin”, from Holmes County.  I like to call Alvin, a furniture maker, from time to time, to check up on things in Amish Ohio. The big news?  March Madness, or I suppose the Plain equivalent, is apparently heading to Holmes County. I’ve written a number of times about Amish and sports.  Sports and games are…

Card tables for summer lunches and games like ping pong are…

    Ben and Rose

    I cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed listening to Ben and Rose’s songs. Vocally, they are a match made in heaven and they are such the cutest couple! I would love to see an album of all their songs. I would be right there in line to buy it! Thank you for posting the songs for all of us to enjoy!

    Animals in video

    These are Longhorn Steers. They are seen a lot in Texas. There is a herd of them in Lancaster County on an Amish farm on Peters Rd between Intercourse and New Holland. I am sure their are more herds around Lancaster as well.
