New Song From Amish Couple Ben & Rose: “The Little Mountain Church House”

Right after I got caught up this week with a post on their cover of Dolly Parton’s “Circle of Love”, Amish country music couple Ben & Rose have released another video.

The song is “Little Mountain Church House”, and we immediately see (or rather, hear) a couple of differences in this one.

For one, Ben has the more prominent singing voice in this one, with Rose lower in the mix as more of a supporting vocal.

Another difference: Ben has switched out his guitar for a mandolin, which in my opinion is one of the loveliest-sounding instruments.

The Little Mountain Church House” is another cover song, this one written by Carl Jackson and Jim Rushing. The song seems like quite a fitting choice, as the studio they record this in is located in an old church dating to 1871.

One more comment: on a previous video, someone asked about Ben’s “mustache“. I didn’t see a mustache here – I saw a bit of scruff or five-o-clock shadow.

It’s not uncommon among young men in the Lancaster County group for one. I figured Ben might have shown up for the shoot a little scruffy, to give it more of a rough-around-the-edges country feel.

Anyway, enjoy this one. What do you think?
