Ten Thousand Exits by The Purple Hulls

[THEhealthexperiance]

im curious as to why the sound hole on your guitar is higher? i have never seen that before.

[BanjoBen1]

@jkipcount Hey bud! We're recording a bluegrass gospel album next month, and we're raising support for it right now. Check out the video I uploaded last week called "The Lord Came Unto Me". Thanks!

[jkipcount]

@BanjoBen1 I'm all over that! I'm going to pick up Ten Thousand Exits as well, the hooks on that record are undeniable (listened to the Amazon previews). Big fan of your stuff. "Get in the Boat" is one of my most-watched YouTube videos ever. Throw that beauty on the new record! (even as a bonus/hidden track). Keep up the good work brother.

[BanjoBen1]

@jkipcount Get in the Boat is on there for sure! We're doing all of our gospel YouTube hits, plus some other traditional favorites and some originals. It will be us 3, plus a standup bass, dobro, and fiddle. Gonna be good!

[0x6a616d6573]

Your family is SO talented. Your videos have been a great source of inspiration for me, and I hope to someday pay it forward by inspiring others as well with my own music. Keep up the great work!

[9333ful]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[jessp82]

I love listening to yall. I love your group and also your videos Ben. Keep up the good work.

[Patriksundvik]

nice song! Like it alot. Thank you for sharing this.

[ZiGGyMaidEN]

These versions of your songs are waaaaay better than the album versions with drums and all that stuff ..

[hoeboy6969]

Katy your so beautiful in this video

[jchristian67]

yall are amazing

[TheNikdavid]

I love you guys.

[davnkatz]

which one is Katy & which is Penny & who is Sara Majors? Good song, good singing, good playing. What more can I say except i really enjoy your music.

[doodypoot]

I'm a big fan, y'all. Beautiful.

[aspenbanjo]

That banjo break reminds me of the tune "music for a found harmonium" off the soundtrack for Napoleon Dynamite. Just bought your album, really enjoying your music.

[BanjoBen1]

@aspenbanjo I have a confession...when I wrote that banjo solo for Katy to record, that song was running through my head! You're the first person to say something about that!

[illgoggia]

i'm atheist and i listen this guys while smokin' a bong.. but they're amazing!! greetings from Italy!!!

[xBallpark09]

awesome video. What kind of banjo was the gal using? It sounded great but I'm just getting into banjo and i'm curious about it

[jcbbe]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[BassBoe]

so, you've given yourselve's a name 'the purple hulls'

hmm, is that a drug referance? don't mention drugs around me... not unless you have some! lol

[vpieper]

Beautiful ! Thanks for sharing ..

[carylandis]

[julman454]

[hoeboy6969]

katy you cutie

[percivallll]

There's always the one idiot...

[hoeboy6969]

Penny whats your sisters name??

[tabbyjoym11]

Awesome alto voice! Harmony's great too! and the fingerpicking

[creedyguldunjka]

You guys must have a barbed wire fence around your house to keep bass players out! Love your stuff, please keep it up.

[jcbbe]

You all are great, I hope to see you live sometime!!!!

[crohead13]

Love that Brady Bunch dance routine.

[flatsandsharpspz]

Hey, what microphone you using there. Sounds great :)

[BanjoBen1]

@flatsandsharpspz Thanks so much! I believe it's a Shure SM 27. I love it!

[BanjoBen1]

@flatsandsharpspz Sorry! I was wrong! It's a Shure KSM 32!

[FredThaHead]

@BanjoBen1 Hmmm...If it's from the KSM series from Shure, it looks like the KSM"42". The 32's I've seen are silverish/gold in color.

[BanjoBen1]

@FredThaHead You're right, they do make them silver. But, if you go to google and search KSM32 and click images, there are black ones as well...I get mixed up with all those mics! Thanks for watching!

[MarcosHarkness]

Sweet work! And great, funny lyrics.

[shmaltz]

Amazing song. Watched this 10,000 times.

[giggleblaggle]

I can't get over how awesomely amazing this is. Especially the banjo solo, wow! This is just the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[souldonor]

Where can I get my "Purple Hulls" record, or I prefer download. I have been a long time fan of your posts, and I love your music. I play music for a living in Charleston S.C. I am a singer/guitar owner (I am not really good of a guitar player I bang out chords). I play covers for the Sheeple (Brown Eyed Girl, Sweet Home, etc). Anyhow enough about me what do you think about me. I would love to purchase your record, I Really love you and your Sisters. Thanks for the great posts.

[Ersken]

Wooopie, girls! :D

[5stringsmith]

Good song, you guys are great!!!

[floridacrackerish]

Man you guys are awesome

[bigsquaw]

I love you guys, you are great together. So wonderful that you have music together. what a wonderful thing for siblings. I will buy a cd. Whatz your name purple hull or clark family? I listen to your rendition of "what a friend we have in Jesus" often as it just picks me up and starts me on my way right. Thanks

[TheGillieDubh]

All I can say is wow, love this song and can't wait to get my hands on the CD when it is released, let us know about it please :) God bless you all.

[charles12062]

great tune love it great vocals great picking nice job all around I see the single mic in the middle how are you recording I just started puting up video's for now just using cam corder there not bad but not as good your's any help would be greatly appreciated

[easyeasley]

So Ben, did you teach your sister or did she learn by herself? I have to ask because she's playin' your banjo, however, she's playin' a different style it seems. By the way, ya'll sound great.

[Jessitn10]

However natural it may be to sing in this key I think it needs to be brought up a notch. She should sing in a higher key.

[ArcticRider]

Nice coreography between Penny and Ben hahaha. Nice song guys!!!

[grassfire75]

what kind of banjo is that?

[micahpeterson63]

@BanjoBen1 Is there a website for Purple Hulls? How will you distribute the CD? Itunes? Thanks, love the music!!

[stickwalker]

Hee haw, you got to love that country picking...

Thanks for posting this great video.

[TheBanjoguy2]

great sound! you, guys are amazing! nice video! :)

thanks! ..xo in, our favorites column :)

[martinmaniad35]

hey, ben! great stuff! what became of Ida Red?

[guitargeek1122]

wich one of you guys wrote that?

[PennyLeaClark]

@guitargeek1122 Penny, Katy, and a friend, Sarah Majors.

[bdzimmer]

What kind of microphone is that? The recording quality is fantastic!

[shmaltz]

You guys are amazing!!! Made my day!!!

[ozguitarist1]

delivered with BBs usual good humour. Really enjoyed this. thanks!

[leelionel]

When and where will I be able to find your CD in Canada?

[katrinaburgoyne]

Great song guys... Love your work!

[kino9797]

Sounded great. Can't wait to hear more modern bluegrass from y'all. It's strange not to see you with a break Ben! Must be tough just strumming along......

[456Banjobecky]

i love it

[corkyjmc]

Is there a better word than EXCELLENT to describe these folks? If there is, that's the word that I want to use here.

[stepsafer]

Well done, you guys!

[EasyEd02]

Hey, Outstanding music guys! I'll be watching for a CD as well. You've certainly got a fan on Vancouver Island. On a different note - that mando has great tone and a chop about the way I like it. Any chance of saying what make/model? I can't quite make out the headstock. -Ed-

[TheBanjobuddy]

I know what you mean ben,about the name.I wanted to call myself [The Big Dummy@yippee.com],but that name was taken too.Can you believe that.anyway, God bless you guys and keep the viedos coming. Terry

[AQC440]

Regardless of the name, microphone (although you could benefit from a miracle mic...lol) or location, you folks are always solid. The accompaniments are always spot on and the vocals/harmonies are of a pure, yet modern bluegrass sound…Let us know when the cd(s) come out!

[keaton7732]

Muuuuy bueno!!!

[TheBanjobuddy]

Ben,i'm a big fan of you guy's,but i'm confussed about the group's name.I still call you The Clark Family bluegrass/gospel band.Whatever your name is I still like you guys.

[BanjoBen1]

@TheBanjobuddy Yeah...we had to change it. There are just TOO many Clarks out there, and it was getting confusing. We are now The Purple Hulls..once and for all!! Thanks!

[wvwkndr79s]

@BanjoBen1 Yeah but where did you get the name? What does it mean? It's OK but I still like The Clark Family. But I agree whatever your name is your music is great!

[PelirrojoMuyLoco]

@wvwkndr79s It comes from purple hull peas. They look and taste a lot like black-eyed peas. But you have purple fingers after hulling them for a while.

[MistyMountaineers]

@BanjoBen1 Never enough Clarks lol let the rest change their names Great job people ..good pickin ..singing..and presentation....W.Clark

[MagnusUltor]

@BanjoBen1 How did y'all come up with that name?

[MistyMountaineers]

@BanjoBen1 It sure must be a pleasure and a pain playing with sisters ha ha ,, You all look very much related ..I'am a Clark too and my sister Jewel and I do local things musicaly but we certainly don't look alike ..She looks more like my dad than I he is on You Tube also" Yodeling Slim Clark" theres that name again! Continued sucess to all of you in life and musicaly Wilf Carter Clark

[1994liberty]

@BanjoBen1 Hey Ben ive been watchin your videos almost everyday since i discover you last year, Your

Git-fiddle lessons have helped me alot over this short period ive been steppin out trying to flatpick. Your Band has a good sound too, But i have to ask, how did you come up with the name "Purple Hulls" little unusual, and is your cd out yet?

[maxneu]

Something about this reminds me of Tim May and Brad Davis' version of Angelina Baker

You guys sound great as always.

[banjopilot4u]

[BigFootsCousin]

Are you selling any CD's? I want one of you guys, you're terrific!

[banjerboy78]

You guys are awesome. Thank you for doing what you do. What kind of banjo is that?

[mamapolitte]

I have twin girls. They are always saying "Cheeeese" to each other. Great song! You guy's are so talented. This is M. Politte on my wifes youtube.)

[MrSkippylen]

once again ben brilliant,love your videos,just an idea have you ever thought about doing a video on how to work out harmonies,it would be very usefull,yours are great by the way.once again brilliant.

[billiondollardan]

yeehaw! them's some purty sisters you got. lol finally a better face to look at on your videos ;) j/k

Seriously this is truly excellent!

[MartinLoeber]

[banjopicker88]

[ZoranUK]

This sounds great. One big "WELL DONE" from UK!

[Imoutanames]

Great!!!

[martinavizcomm]

Q...What's the difference between an onion & a banjo?

A...No-one cries when you cut up a banjo!!!

[dennyshonda]

No chance of hearing any Bluegrass on radio in Jacksonville, Jagsonville, Freakville, Bubbaville, cows crossing over.

[klopextube]

Is this a live recording? I don't see any cables coming from your instruments, but they are definitely closely mic'd. In any case, it sounds great! Fun song!

[KatyLouClark]

@klopextube Yeah it's live! Just usin' the one mic. Thanks for liking!! 

[klopextube]

@KatyLouClark That one mic picked up the instruments that well?!? Wow! I have done sound for live gigs quite a bit, but I've never gotten that quality of pickup without instrument microphones.

[KatyLouClark]

@klopextube And of course the mic on the video recorder is pickin' up some too. But when we play gigs we usually just use the one mic. it's omnidirectional, and really nice. :)

[BanjoBen1]

@klopextube Do you see the big fat black mic in front of Penny's face? Sometimes she doesn't see it either, which is why her dental bill can be pretty high :)

[Davedgooch]

nice

[wendykclark]

Great song guys! Keep it up- can't wait to see what else you come out with!

[blugrastooth]

ben- how does it feel when your sister just mashes a banjo solo like that? better practice buddy! she'll take your job!

[BanjoBen1]

@blugrastooth Believe ME, I KNOW!!! Hahaha!

[Threestaves]

wow! i love it, i know i'll probably be hearing this on the radio. hope you'll do some shows in north carolina

[Threestaves]

wow! i love it, i know i'll probably be hearing this on the radio

[maroleit]

great job

greetings from italy

[ralph007]

Great. I will be the first buyer of your CD!

[hhold]

Does the mando player whisper "Jesus" out of exasperation for her sister's antics?

[BanjoBen1]

@hhold No...she whispers "Cheeeese". :)

[allendupras]

you guys totally stole the banjo break!!!! ha awesome song :D

[blindbonder]

Beautiful! Keep up the great work guys. I was hoping that Katy or Penny could send me the lyrics for that amazing spiritual they sang here in Yodfat, "Hallelujah, the lord came unto me". It would be greatly appreciated. Greetings again from israel, and we're looking forward to your next visit. Ami

[ltatch]

Hey!! That was great. Y'all have a great sound.

[dryan80]

It sure is a feather in your cap Ben having played with ?? what's that girls name?? Oh yeah. Taylor Swift. JK. But for my money there is nothing like the sound of you three playing and singing together. Must be a sibling thing. Keep Playin!

[myowndo]

Very nice, and the choreography is nice too!! Ben it seems the hole where the music comes out off your guitar migrated north!!! Keep up the excellent work!!

[tdraper2]

[beaub0]

Great, I am watching The mandolin. Could you give the key so I can see if she uses the same chords I do? Hard to see.

[KatyLouClark]
