I am an Indian, from INDIA. I probably am the ONLY INDIAN who loves Bluegrass gospel the most, in India. I love this music so much, that i married a Southern Belle from Florida, to pursue my dream of being an American and listen to Bluegrass music all day. It was my Dad who introduced me to American music since i was child in India. My Dad was a great fan of Country music, and that love got developed in me as well, as every morning before i could go to school, i would listen to cassettes of Country Music, of the likes Johnny Cash, Don Williams and Jim Reeves. My Dad passed away in Jan 2016, his dream was to visit a country music concert. Being in India, we can never enjoy, country music, as no bands visit India. As a potential Immigrant to America, in the future, i want to see a Bluegrass gospel concert, someday. In memory of my Dad, i give this honor to the beautiful music of America. Thank you for what you do, and GOD BLESS Y'ALL, and GOD BLESS AMERICA.
I would you my friend if you are hearing the message? I hope you are, and as far as I am concerned there is always a place in america for people who want too really be an american!
And God bless you too punedav007!!!! Hope you’re enjoying America and that great bluegrass music! Have you tried learning to play it yourself? That more than doubles the fun! Where in Fla. was your Southern Belle from? I live in Jupiter.
And also please keep making good Christian music for us Christian Brothers out here to be listening to and sharing with others. This is brother Barnabas signing off
@@Pastor-BrettbyfaithPastor you were correct though when you said "Give the Lord all the praise. Yes, Thank you Jesus! Take care and may God Bless you and watch over you.
Pastor Brett. My pastor just finished a series from Philippians about how we are all saints. Only if we are saved though. Seems you share the same views. 👍👍😃😃😃😃
This is the first song i listened by The Purple Hulls. I remember that I couldn't believe what I was listening. From that day, I became an "incondicional fan" of this Group. And I pray God in Jesus Christ for these musicians!
Love this! Who are these mean terrible people who would give this a thumbs down? You guys are awesome- thanks for making and sharing this wonderful video!
Fantastic! I'm a devout atheist but the power of old time gospel always blows me away! not only are the musican above par, but the vocals and harmonies are stellar! thanks a lot for this.
All kidding aside - I want to thank you for your music - its been uplifting to many people when we all really neaded it - God. Bless you for that. Thank you,
I'm a Brit and I absolutely love this! Check out "Higher Ground" that is brilliant too. Cheers guy's you sure know how to play, and great harmonies too
God bless you my brother and sisters in Christ. I saw Katy and Penny on Texas Country Reporter and so touching is the peace that seems to fill them, now I know that peace is JESUS xx
Dear Purple Hulls! You are in one line ith the best musicians ever came from the States. Your music makes me happy, your interpretation lets rise the sun a 2nd time a day. Best regards from Austria (Österreich) Europa
Greetings from Scotland. My late mother's favourite hymn. 'In His arms He'll take and shield thee, thou will find a solace there' What a comfort in those words.
Just posted this on Facebook, found The Purple Hulls website and purchased Close To Home! I think you could say I was really taken with this!! Thanks so much for such beautiful, authentic music. I can't wait for the CD to arrive!
Wow! Are you youngsters good. Fabulous instrumental treatment, clear and blended harmonies, magnificent vocals and rhythm. May the Lord richly bless your ministry. Numbers 6:24-26. MikeUSA.
I'm not religious but I absolutely love this kind of bluegrass. Music communicates a universal message of passion that transcends above belief/creed and should be enjoyed by all
So lovely holy song gives me alot positive energy from our lord jesus, i pray every night before if sleep and when i wake up. God bless you purple hulls. Greetings all the way from The netherlands.!
wow !!! I can't stop listening to this version !! I absolutely LOVE this !! Reminds me of summers in Mississippi sittin on the front proch with my family just singing old gospel songs at family reunions..... Priceless memories !!! The harmony these 3 have are INSANE !!!! Completely incredible !!! And being a Texas girl myself, I love the Aggies shirt !!! :)
What a friend we have in Jesus, more we need him especially during this pandemic of Covid-19 virus. Because we trusted that he will guide and protect us from the virus. Jesus will destroy whoever cause troubles to the world ! May our lord grant mercy and humanity to those who trust in him. Amen. From Singapore 03/09/2020
Indeed Allen is the man. But that has to be the biggest smile I've ever seen on his face. Except when I saw him with Eddie Adcock. Love you guys...you make the music happy.
First time I've heard ya'll...mighty fine playing!! I'm a small town Texas picker too and wanted to let you know how much I like your music. You can bet I'll be listening as long as you're playing...keep up the good work!
Me too. I'm a northern atheist that absolutely loves bluegrass gospel. I was raised on all of the classic gospel songs but not like this. The family ties add so much to this performance and bluegrass music in general. Katy is particularly adorable in this video :)
You are heading down a dark path, what are you so proud of? that you are a none believer in God , please seek Jesus he is the only way to Heaven. Read a Bible. I will not read nasty negative comments because those are of the devil. Please, please wake up. I will say a prayer for you. Find Jesus he LOVES YOU.
Carola Wingert This isn't about us. It's about Katy, Penny, Ben and their music. They are a beautiful, talented and God loving family and I have all the respect in the World for them.
Carola Wingert A couple of issues, I`m not proud, or for that matter ashamed with regard to my lack of faith in the supernatural. It is just how I am. The other point, I`ve absolutely no desire whatsoever to achieve immortality. I`d like to live to be 160 and be fit and healthy right up until then but with our current medical science that isn`t going to happen. Maybe in a century or two if we`ve not screwed up the human race by then. The idea though of immortality to me is scary and absurd in equal measures.
Sounds good, though I'll bet that Joseph Scriven never envisaged his hymn being performed like this. A fellow Banbridge man, from County Down in Northern Ireland, Joseph Scriven penned this hymn to comfort his mother, who was missing him after he emigrated to USA. Another Ulster man worth checking out is Alexander Irvine, a missionary to the Bronx who came from Pogue's Entry in Antrim. He wrote a book entitled "My Lady of the Chimney Corner" dedicated to his mother. My own mother passed away on Christmas Eve 2008, aged 92. Hoping to place a wreath on Mum's grave before Christmas Day.
Here is it some (13) years after the release of this video in 2009, and I'm here enjoying it yet again. Isn't it amazing how quickly the years will pass us by? One thing that hasn't changed much though is the fact that I'm still just as drawn to and digging this performance as I was the very day they uploaded it. Hope all is well, guys! Cheers,
I think this is my favorite video on youtube. No matter what I log on youtube to watch...I can't leave without watching this one at least once. What a talented family.
That's what churches need.. more energy like this

Oh that was nice. Love it. That's just what I needed this morning... Thank u...
That's what I love about gospel music. It doesn't need all of that fancy sound to get the point across. I love how humble bluegrass is.
Great song by a great family band from a great state!
This has to make you smile 🙂thank you Ben Penny and Kate .
That was absolutely fabulous. I'm at a loss for words. I just don't have them. Simply beautiful.

@@MrIbgrant❤bluegrass but not much pickings here in the land of sand WA
just simply excellent
How do 60 people not like this?
I know! Mystifying. Thanks PHs.
Atheists.
that was absolutely superb. This was one of my daddy's favorite hymns, brings back such great memories of my youth.
Nice goin guys -- excellent musicianship and you got the melody right -- most people don't.
this is so wonderful! i think i watch it everyday!
You guys are very good! Are you using some type of ambient mic? Having a dedicated mic(s) for vocals would be a huge improvement!
The way bluegrass gospel should sound! Many thanks from Ric!
No clue why this was suggested considering I'm not religious at all but the overall performance was much better than I expected.
What a smile this gave me. Love the family harmony. I am living in West Africa and this just made my day.
I`m in my sixth decade as an atheist but I adore Bluegrass Gospel.
Me too. I'm a northern atheist that absolutely loves bluegrass gospel. I was raised on all of the classic gospel songs but not like this. The family ties add so much to this performance and bluegrass music in general. Katy is particularly adorable in this video :)
