Christmas is right around the corner and Ben & Rose are back with their take on a Christmas classic: “Away In A Manger”. It’s a lovely soft rendition with Jordan Davis and Mark Davis helping out on drums and bass, and producer Conrad Fisher adding guitar. I particularly like the addition of the fiddle by Jason Barie which gives the tune a rich warm lift….
Here’s another song from Ben & Rose from their album “Slowly But Surely” – the final track on it, in fact. So this one has been out awhile, but we’re now getting it along with a video. “Angel Band” is described as “an old Gospel song” – and one of the oldest they’ve covered, at over 160 years old (even older than this favorite, it…
This tune is another pairing of Ben & Rose with Amos Raber. We’ve actually heard them already together on this track – but without the video. It’s another nice one, which is described on Amos’s channel like this: Fill My Cup, Lord is a great gospel song that beautifully portrays a heart seeking for the living water that one can only find in Jesus Christ!…
We got an intriguing short clip of this song back in August. So I’m happy to see Ben and Rose release the full studio song with video. I found it intriguing due to its background. It’s a hymn written by Aldine Kieffer and B.C. Unseld way back in the late 1800s. That’s not so old compared to, say, Ausbund hymns. But for songs rendered in…
We’ve heard this one before – but now there’s a video for it as well. In July Ben & Rose put out a short demo clip of “Roses In The Snow”, after which the studio version was released on their album “Slowly But Surely”. This song was made famous by Emmylou Harris and was written by Ruth Franks. It’s a short but sweet one with…
Here’s a neat little clip of Ben & Rose’s breakout song, their cover of “Slowly But Surely”. This time they’re playing it live “in the kitchen”, in what looks like a relaxing, no-shoes-necessary session 🙂 This is another short one, at just 20 seconds long. So they just get through a couple of lines. But enjoy nonetheless: You can listen to the full studio version…
Here’s a song from Third Fret Harmony which dates back a couple of years. This is from the time when they were recording songs live on their own, prior to making produced studio music. But it’s a neat one to see as it includes all three siblings in the group – Mike, Marty, and Rose from Ben and Rose. The song is a cover of…
Coinciding with their debut album release today, Ben and Rose have put out a new song and video. And this one, “Farther On”, is a great choice as it sounds fantastic. Described as an “old gospel favorite”, the Amish couple deliver a great rendition. The song is calm and understated with some delicate playing. In the video, the pair sing on a beautiful Pennsylvania hillside…
Good news alert – I have been getting this question for months and I’m happy to finally be able to give a positive answer: Ben and Rose plan to release a full album – this Friday! In the new promo clip at bottom, you can hear producer Conrad Fisher talking about the release, accompanied by some beautiful imagery. In the background we hear the sounds…
We’ve got another new short clip of a presumably upcoming song by Ben & Rose – called “Twilight is Stealing”. “Steal” here (I believe) in the sense of the less-commonly-used definition of “to move somewhere quietly or surreptitiously”. This song is an older hymn – maybe the oldest they’ve done so far – written by Aldine Kieffer and B.C. Unseld in the late 1800s. Here’s…
