I'm from Kilgore and we love these gals, and Ben! Their dad, Mac as he was known to most of us, was a great man. You don't need to take my word for it, just listen to his girls and how they carry themselves and there love of God and sharing it with others. Ya'll have made your daddy proud. Keep up the good work and may God continue to bless ya'll!!!
Andy Baxter Do they still sell peas and sing? Just curious because my MIL lives in Kilgore, and I visit sometimes. I am originally from Longview, but moved away last year. I would love to buy from them, and listen to them play. TIA.
When you put God first, as these young ladies have done, He will take care of your every need. I am so thankful that I have had the opportunity to meet this family, the are the most genuine folks I have ever known. God is good!
Not so fast young man❣️ We lay in the grave unaware until Jesus returns for His faithful sons and daughters. We will rise to meet Him in the air. When He returns our reward is with Him. Immortality will be the reward to live with our Savior forever. Until then we are sleeping as for a little moment. God bless our search for Him in His holy word ❣️
THEY ARE SO NICE, REFRESHING, AND UPLIFTING. BUSINESS, FARM, SINGERS AND MOST OF ALL FAMILY. A STORY MIXED WITH SADNESS AND JOY, AND HEART BREAKING END. WONDERFUL PEOPLE FROM TEXAS. I LOVE TEXAS
Just heard them in Bellville at Coushatte Ranch. Fantastic Musicians. Heard their story about their Dad. Happy to see them in God's hands working the farm, and playing the music too.
God bless you Katie and Penny for going back home and helping your father I was young I worked for my uncle's on their Farms there is no other kind of work that is more gratifying 💕💕🙏🙏
These are 2 amazing ladies their dad must have been very proud and loved his daughters very much they remind me so much of my 2 daughters I know they would be there for their daddy too

May I share biblical truth about the seventh day sabbath created in the garden of eden blessed and honored by Jesus Himself? Genesis 2:2&3. Exodus 20:8-11 and Exodus 31:12-18. Please pray and consider the Bible truth that overcomes the deception of sun day worship. When we rest is who we worship. Be blessed in our search for God in His holy word ❣️
I really like to come here about once a wk,,and watch this entire video,,,it puts things in perspective,,where they should be.Im sure Dad is beaming with proudness,,,,,I am.
Great family, I wish we could see more like these. I lived in east Texas when I was younger. I picked purple hulls too! Love those peas, I'd love to have some, we can't grow them in Missouri! Great job on the music.
I am so sorry to hear about your father but your talent and beauty has given me and my family (lost our father to cancer) so much joy and pleasure. You are Blessed! I listen to The Purple Hulls almost every morning on the treadmill. Crush of Katy!
Right there with ya Spike. Taking nothing away from Penny and Ben...all incredibly talented but I watch the What a Friend we have in Jesus video over and over with eyes glued on Katy!
God bless you girls and your family. You embody all the values that make me proud to be a Texan. I wish you health and happiness. BTW, great pickin'!!!
Wonderful story girls! I lost my Daddy in 2010 after only a 16 day battle with cancer from the day he was diagnosed to the day he was gone. Also, he was never a farmer but sold farm parts his whole life and knew many farmers just like your Dad all over Northeast Louisiana. When I grew up and lived in a home of my own I decided to grow a large garden a by myself with absolutely no knowledge of how to grow a garden! Daddy was sick and walked with a cane at this point due to strokes but never missed the opportunity to sit in the shade at the end of my rows and give me pointers and just be there to be proud of his oldest, single girl that he suddenly started called the "baby"! Thanks for sharing your story! By the way, I know people in y'alls town!
there's something magical i love about southern music. it's not my music, but i can sure appreciate it. could listen to that all night and until tomorrow.
Different world, I have cancer for last five years my family they’re given up on me for the first month count me out of their lives and they told we can’t help you, they funny thing I never asked anybody for help always believe help come from god, I’m still here walking in this life thanks god and I love and respect all human all creatures of god, god bless all.
You Ain't Missing A Thang In Nashville. Born And Raised One County North Of Nashville. This Ain't The Nashville I Played Music In For Years. Be Genuine To Yourself And Always Keep GOD And Family First !
I too wanted my stardom with Bill Gaither but with my dream came the death of my oldest sibling. We were as a trio to Interview with Gaither but it wasn't the Lords will. We had to make it another way in life and work on Other dreams to survive. We all have to work on one day at a time,Keep Your Eyes on the Son Katy,B.C.
This is the first time I've sat and watched this video. Such an inspirational story. Nothing is bigger, here on earth, than family. You have some fans here in little Upstate S. Carolina.
Grew up in Hallsville, and had no idea they started in Kilgore. Took me 40 years to find the banjo, and about 2 months after that to find the Purple Hulls. Sad to know I missed out on years of their music.
My daddy's childhood farm is just down the road from the abandoned Jakey's store. I remember riding on my granddaddy' s old Farmall tractor like the one in the video. Love your music and purple hull peas! I might have to come to a Kilgore to get me some peas. 😄
I've watched your gospel videos for church music inspiration and I'm so pleased to find out you all are from East Texas. Great story and great music. I hope ya'll stay in Texas and make it down to Austin sometime!
I would love to see a performance by the purple hulls especially in a small venue in east texas.I live in memphis but am a city slicker from dallas.we make frequent trips to athens to visit lifelong friends.I bet you are are tired of hearing how cool ben is but i am hookin up on his geetar instruction today.I looked on your web site but no luck on performance schedules.
I wish the world had more loving people like these three siblings I love their humbleness, wisdom and the fun music!
Life is like a Box of Chocolate’s
if you get away from Cities, you got real America
@@cliffords2315 So very true!
Absolutely. Just look What is going on in some of the cities in 2020. So very sad.
I love Katy and Penny. I've had them play at my Church several times. They are awesome and my two girls look up to them.
