[ClanChattan14]

[SuperKirbis]

What a nice blend! Great acoustics...I'm waiting for this to come over the radio!

[earlthesquirrle]

you sound good in the kitchen,cant wait to hear you in the studio,Praying for you and your recording to be a success..

[Finnripple]

I have a new favorite band. Love the kitchen scene, etc, etc. Well done.

[fairfanx]

Wow, this sounds really good man!

[stringbender57]

Nice playing Ben! I am so impressed with the ladies too! Very cute and talented.

[realmiguel1]

Awesome - Great music and fantastic voices! 

[FatherSonHolyGhost]

I really like this, 5 stars!

[juzanordinaryguy]

Must be great playing music with your sisters! I have probably commented on this song before .. Are you going to professionally record this song and put it on iTunes? Please tell me yes .. I love this song :) Go Ben and his sisters!!!!

[samuski36]

Thanks to you three, I'm now a fan of bluegrass! You all clearly love what you do, and you do it so well! You're a good teacher too Ben! I'm workin on those licks! :)

[junyardferd]

there are 2 actual retards that said they didnt like this, so sad

[JohnnyBoxer92]

Brilliant stuff Ben (and your sisters!!!) Look forward to a jam if not in this life maybe the next. God Bless.

[ILUVCNTRY]

Can't spend my day without listening to this song.

[biuemusic5]

ya this is absolutely excellent. what a great job!

[kitarra13]

Ben rocks and ladies as well!!!!!!!!!!

[kitarra13]

These kids are way to good/ talented to be playing in a kitchen, incredible vocal as well!!

[maxedout1956]

Ben How come you don't say Kick it off Penny? Penny how come you don't say kick it of Ben?

[johnmichaelMTBC]

is that a meredith dobro?

[treejahone]

What a song, cheers .

[dwflowers]

Great Song!



[arcticcatjag2000]

I wish I could have the lyrics for this song =]

[maxneu]

This has become a favorite of mine. Mind if I do a cover?

[456Banjobecky]

i love this song. makes my mind to soar as and eagle to wright some songs and music

[ILUVCNTRY]

This is one of my most favorite tunes now. Everyday I watch this video. Whose tune originally is this ? Thnx 4 nice music.

[lilfairycupcake]

Love the acoustics of playing in a kitchen, raw, unshaven, but good.

[hoeboy6969]

are sure you arnt Mandrells??

[CharlieHend]

Where are you guys from? How many other clips of your music is there on YouTube? I'm trying to use Audacity to make a CD I can play in my car. Do you have CD's for sell? If so, how can I get one? I love your raw, but accomplished performances.

[Threestaves]

I like them babydolls

[Robskie13]

10 stars!!!

[steedojim]

I know where Marshall is ! I went to college there. Grew up in Jasper, lived in Huntsville and Lufkin, too.

[nomorepushingusdown]

Clark Family, what type of mic setup do you use to record these clips? I tried a few tunes using my Logitec 9000 webcam (for Skype) with its built-in mic and it made my beautiful Martin sound like a Maxwell House can with barbed wire stretched down a broomstick! I'm not that good, but I'm not that bad, either LOL.

Help?

[annaxrachelle]

Absolutely amazing y'all :)<3

You guys have that flow, it's just

so natural.

I wanna see more people doing

this kind of music!

[riffjiff]

Totally excellent!!!!! Ben is the man!!!  Great teacher too........ both girls are pro's all the way and it sounds like it!!

[TumblingDice66]

Superb! Nice kitchen too. :-)

It sounds great for so many reasons, but one thing I noticed was how great it sounds when Banjo Ben's harmony part comes in. Something about the male vocal adding some bottom end to the two women's parts (which are great on their own) sounds really wonderful.

[6stringsNcoondog]

great song ben i really hope you and mister hyde can work it out to have this one on ur new cd!! i think this one could possibly hit the chart its real catchy!!

[14toshiie]

Great song! Any chance you guys are putting a cd together that would have this tune?

[candaceplmr]

for some reason my comment didn't go through.. I love this!! Just found you guys on youtube and love it!! I play the mandolin and was wondering how long she has been playing it? I love the way she plays it.. I have been teaching my self for the last 7 years.. my family all play bluegrass gospel and love this music you guys sing....

[candaceplmr]

love this!! I posted some of your music on my facebook. So talented... I play the mandolin and was wondering how long the one in the middle took lessons? I have been teaching myself for about 6 years.. love the way she plays :)

[tayconlor]

How many of us know the reality you sing of.

You and Mr. Hyde have done a great kindness.

The comfort of one standing along side.

[jacobwaldo06]

Hey ben...you ever see the show 30 rock? You remind me of a much cooler version of kenneth ha! You guys are pretty stinkin awesome!!!

[vstmonger]

How utterly enjoyable...the best thing I have heard in some time. You people have soul.

[DEPUTY734]

This is tight. Awesome Job!

[jlott00]

hope this is on the new record

[simonArmenia1]

Are you guys planning on reccordin a cd soon?

[rubenn620]

[maxneu]

[maxneu]

I'm so jealous of you guys! It sounds great y'all!

[skydogz1]

Refreshingly rich voices these gals have.

Thanx!

[nards656]

Love this one. The dobro sounds really Randy Travis :)

[pcgailc]

I can envision a really cool video to go with this!! Using clips of the girls singing near all the natural elements that the song talks about. This song is a hit.

[phylis1929]

Don't even know what to say! Realy nice!

[rmbion]

Hurray for Texas. Makes me want to git back to Bandera where I grew up!

[lumpful]

That was simply wonderfull!! I,m new to your sight and i always look forward to see what you do next, I moved from Mich to colorado, and cant seem to hook up with many jams, I play all the instruments and sing all the ranges, not to many people into bluegrass,or progrssive bluegrass here,and when i here you play in the jamming atmosphere it makes me homesick, i,ll always look forward to hereing what you post next,thanx from the middle of mountains your friend Edward!

[hoejbob]

Ya, that was awsome!

[dtbartlett]

fantastic. I'm 42 but I'm still going to talk to my mom about getting me a couple of sweet-singing hot pickin sisters. take that act on the road!

[Fas1946]

great job 5*****

[countrycashguitar]

i think am in love with the girl with the guitar i cant help it shes looks like a flower

[Mandrung]

It is proving very difficult to find you on facebook.

[BanjoBen1]

So sorry about that! Once you've logged in, type Banjo Ben in the top right where it says "search". Hopefully that'll work!!! Thanks!

[Mandrung]

That is what I did and I get a lot of different people that don't resemble you. If you would have put a link in the description it would make it much easier.

[emcenerney]

Dang. That is fantastic. The perfect storm of excellent songwriting, excellent singing, excellent picking, and excellent folks. Keep up the great work y'all.

[4131955]

Excellent job folks..........sounds great

[pcgailc]

Very Genuine. This song is gold, and so are the members of this group.

[Ficeduld]

So very good and authentic, love it.

[dmtriplett08]

[martinmaniad35]

hi, banjo ben-

great video, and great harmony! really enjoyed it! how's the group "Ida Red" coming along? God bless!

Eph. 6:10

[pcgailc]

This song just spears me right in the heart. The girls just really sell the emotion so well, they are so Sincerel I really want this song and your group to sing this to the world!

[BobAcoustic]

Ok, I saw from comments that these lovely sirens, these Muses in the flesh, are you sisters Katy and Penny.

This song has it all: Solo, Duet, 3-part harmony singing. The girls' voices blend like they were one person.

[BobAcoustic]

Wow

This is one of the best songs I've ever heard, realized beatifully by Banjo Ben and the Babes!

Who are they? Did I miss the credits?

[keaton7732]

Muy bueno!! how can i get an album? or some other recording... sounds wonderful

[rightsoimben]

So beautiful. I continue to be impressed by all of your work. Keep it up.

[CodyCEngdahl]

Outstanding

[thoefs2106]

I truly enjoy these videos with the girls. I wish you would post more. I can see how all three of you enjoy singing together.

[Glockem]

What a well written song, and you couldn't possibly have found anyone better to render it. Absolutely beautiful!!

[srw4]

I want a CD!!!!!

[bbjorkyt]

Beautiful tune! Ben, didn't take you long to figure out how to play the resophonic.

[weeweelegs]

[GERARD9415]

Wow, great job.

[bayoucajunyea]

[1985jsn]

I love it! Awesome song, awesome job!

[solrac3002]

Nice one!

[eosdelb]

Very nice harmony. Really the three of you sing very well together. I would love to hear something that wasnt done into one mic in an "echo chamber" room. I hope you understand Im not critisizing. Im saying get on with it. Ide like to put on headphones and listen to the voices intermingle.

[mikebee02]

Fantastic song and great performance. I'd like to see lyrics. Could you could post a link, or maybe put them in the sidebar?

[PamsPlaceMusicBarn]

Great song played where bluegrass sounds best, in the kitchen with family! I really just don't get people that don't love this music. You guys are the bomb!

[Appledesigned]

Yes, with some microphones (other than the video camera) and a decent mixer and digital recorder the three of you could put together a nice batch of music. Add me to your list of those waiting! Bravo!

[juzanordinaryguy]

Great song!! Keep posting videos on the three of you .. I really enjoy those videos and the music and singing that goes along with it .. I enjoy your instructional videos as well, but these with your sisters .. unbeatable ! Keep up the great work ladies, and Ben !!

[dangerousprimate]

as always great stuff dude!

[scmariab]

Ya'll sound great! And I love the song!

[Melodiusjonk]

Beautiful!! Cant´t wait to see more of you. Are you planning for some recording?

Joacim

[ArcticRider]

Great, great, GRRRREAAAT for Penny, Katy & Ben! The vocal harmonies are just beautiful. You play really good as if you were pro musicians ;-) and the sisters are really pretty (sorry Ben hahaha)

Ben, one day you have to explain me how you do those "sliding harmonics" like Rob Ickes do....

AAAAAADIOS!!!!

[E6shadow]

I love when the three of you play together - another great job.

[pcgailc]

Please tell me you are planning on professionally recording this song, and producing a high quality video to go along with this. This song is so very good, the performance is flawless, and your group is going to be a hit in two blinks of an eye.

[mthoganway]

Unfortunately their voices are drowned out by the loudness of their instruments.

[guitarhack42]

Very, Very Good! Wow what talent!

God has Blessed all of you with such gifts. Keep em coming.....

[Robert01Smith]

hey ben robert here, awesome picking i like to see you guys do more of these, bye the way if you guys ever publish a CD i'll have to get one, mabye two, no three, of them.. LOL great job ....you and the girls are awesome pickers..

Rob-

[c0alminer]

Love you guy's! Keep em' comin' & we'll keep listening! Hurry up & get up here to Canada wud ya? ;0)

[KalleBlom]

Outstanding! What else...?

[azcharlie2009]

I thought you were nuts for leaving Taylor Swift, but now I think you might have struck gold. This video shows just how good the group really is.  And, it was done in your kitchen! Wow!

[BanjoBen1]

@azcharlie2009 Thanks :)

[patart]

So what is the name of the group and how do we hear more?

[BanjoBen1]

@patart Still working on the name :) And for now, here on YouTube is the only place we have our music available...we're working on several projects though :)

[flatpicker1234]

Top Notch. Awesome Tune.

[ptalbany]

great job and I thought you guys went with the name Mr. Story Teller (Tom T. Hall) gave you "Ida Red"?

I kinda of like that name maybe because my Aunts name was Ida and she was a sweet heart

any hoo great job

Paul

[BanjoBen1]

@ptalbany Well we still might, but our publisher Sony said the name may already be in use by another band in another genre...we'll have to see.

[ressalg]

Hey Ben, FYI, there's a well-established rock band in Pittsburgh called "The Clarks", so scratch that off the list of possible names.

[BanjoBen1]

@ressalg Thanks :) Yeah, there are TONS of Clarks out there.

[kjb5169]

@BanjoBen1 this is the one that's going to be remembered, the twin girls on mando & guitar & you on banjo-dobro, somebody on fiddle, autoharp, harmonica, this is a grand old opera bound act with this song

it's ready, just doesn't have me on bass & yes, i can play upright too..i've got a degree in music, and as far as the authenticity of my intergrity, as a vocalist. google dr. archibeque..a woman with a phd, in other words, aside from proficiency on your instruments, i am vocally = bass/bari

[rickshunter1]

Great job by all

[AcousticStrings1]

You made the right move working with your sisters and doing your own thing! He who dares wins, and her in this case! Good luck you all sound great, vocals and instruments!

[TheBigdaddydon]

GREAT!Who are the ladies playing with you?

[BanjoBen1]

@TheBigdaddydon Those are my twin sisters, Penny and Katy!

[scotchnchocolate]

Another vote for a studio performance.  You guys would sound incredible.

[strat80]

Excellent Job. Better than any thing on the charts.

You guys need to market this. Keep up the great work.

[pcgailc]

What is the name of your group??????

I am still in awe of this song and the performance was flawless.

[BanjoBen1]

@pcgailc Still working on that part :) Haven't QUITE decided yet.

[5041carol]

Very nice.

[jlott00]

better then anything on the radio

[Guffmenot]

yippee and kudos from Vancouver BC...you all (y'all?) sound great and look great singing a very cool version of a very cool song...More!

[murry537]

You guys seriously need to get into a studio and lay down some pro tracks. I'm dying to hear your three part harmony in better clarity than the kitchen performances allow for.

Fantastic song!

[beatapt5]

Very, very nice! Really like this. Do wish I could hear the vocal(s) better, though.

[WORRO01]

Wow,,,very very nice,, love it! 5 stars worth!!

[happytobehim]

I can't wait to see what room you video from next. May I suggest the shower.....you can get great sound in the shower you know. LOL. Wonderful job guys.....keep 'em coming!

[idahodad1]

Great job, It's a very pretty song.

[Robin18us]

If you think they sound good now, imagine if the sound system was set up properly? Great family musicians. Love you all.

[pcgailc]

I know, I know, I am already envisioning the video for it!

[pcgailc]

Oh My, this song passes my goosebump test. Well done, my fellow musicians, well done!!

Excellent songwriting, and excellent execution! Somebody, quick, sign them up!

[muckraker100]

Ben your videos have helped take my playing to the next level....I've only been playing guitar for a little over a year now but I have big goals for a career in Nashville. I'm in college at the moment and your vids and tabs have filled my weekends with hard work trying to make myself better. Maybe I'll see you down the road man...thanks for what your doing

-Brandon

[BanjoBen1]

You're welcome, Brandon!!!

[BCDiver]

Fantastic!

[claycope]

Agreed! Where can we find the MP3?

[complimentsheck]

[fenderplayer489]

[wobblyman2000]

great when the album coming out ?

[booneiowaguy]

This could be a hit! The only way it could be better is if I was in the middle there on the piano...hint-hint! ;)

[BneiYisrael1]

Now this is a song that a Jew like me can get into! Sounds great!!

[CDawson81]

Hey! I caught this one 11 minutes after you posted it!

I really like the way you all sound together. More please!!!
