Exciting New Release from Amish Country Music Duo
Following their recent captivating cover of Dolly Parton’s timeless song “Circle of Love,” the talented Amish country music duo Ben & Rose have unveiled another heartfelt musical rendition. This time, they bring us a soulful interpretation of the classic tune “Little Mountain Church House”, accompanied by some noticeable changes that add a fresh touch to their sound.
One of the most striking differences in this new video is the prominence of Ben’s vocal performance, which takes center stage, with Rose providing harmonious support subtly layered in the background. Additionally, Ben has replaced his usual guitar with a beautiful mandolin, an instrument renowned for its sweet, resonant tone that beautifully complements the song’s nostalgic vibe.
“Little Mountain Church House” was composed by Carl Jackson and Jim Rushing, making it a fitting choice that resonates deeply with the duo’s rural, heartfelt style. Interestingly, the recording was done in a studio nestled within an historic church building dating back to 1871, adding an authentic, spiritual ambiance to the performance.
On a side note, a question from a viewer about Ben’s appearance—specifically his “mustache”—was addressed. In this video, he appears clean-shaven or sporting only a light layer of scruff or a five-o’clock shadow. Such a look is quite common among young men in Lancaster County, where the duo originates. It’s possible Ben chose a slightly rugged look intentionally for this shoot to evoke a more genuine, country-western aesthetic.
Enjoy this heartfelt rendition, and feel free to share your thoughts. What do you think of their latest musical offering?
