You speak the truth....Home Free is my favorite group and I agree it's a crime that more people haven't gotten to experience the immense talent of these guys. They are special. Your reaction was fantastic!
Home Free is my favorite contemporary singing group. The industry looks down on acapella groups but Home Free has great original songs as well as covers that are just as good as the originals. I totally agree it’s a crime they are not household names and played on the radio.
The only reason someone, yes even like me once in awhile, is because of nostalgia reasons with regard to covers. I don't know how anyone is gonna top one of their originals.
“Gospel Rob” strikes again! I think it was Ben Folds who coined the Home Fries fan name back when they were on the Sing Off (Sean Stockman was one of the other judges!)
They say that a capella groups aren't marketable and that's why they aren't played on mainstream radio and media. And since Home Free covers so many genres, they can't be pigeonholed into a nest little box! However, Home Free has gotten some radio play in Australia and I think a few other countries! Which in and of itself is ridiculous! These men aren't just great musical artists, they are great people. I'm glad to have found your channel through Home Free! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. It's very deep and diverse! I can't wait to see how far and how fast you fall down it! 😂❤
@MMBxMOB Copy and past this and check out Adam Rupp solo... Home Free: Drum Solo [SPM ST15] Just remember its being recorded on a cell phone in the crowd... hearing it live is so much better but this is still amazing...
As they say, Home Free doesn't do covers, they do upgrades. I think it was Sony they signed up with after winning season 4 The Sing-Off at the end of 2013. I think one of the reasons they wanted to go independent was the freedom they would have with a big label. Tim Foust (bass), Austin Brown (high tenor), and Adam Chance (baritone who sang bass in his former group) all have solo channels where they also perform with others who play instruments. Like Chance has videos with the Hound + the Fox. Tim and Austin also have a group of friends and Tim's in-laws who do smaller "backyard bashes" and "birthday bashes" called Sweet + Low Music Co. They also do a small rehearsal/concert for about 3.5 hours every month or so for Patreons above a certain $$, with the first 30 or so minutes open for everyone else. (Rob has a movie review podcast with his friend Beugs called The Avid Indoorsmen, and Adam is Dungeon Master for his D&D circle.) So they all have interests outside of Home Free. They aren't stuck with that one thing. Austin has also been doing a lot videos for a few songs he wrote on his tiktok channel, along with his wonderful lady Amberly. I love seeing the mischief between them for Hers Ain't Mine. And Everlasting Ground is beautiful. (Can you tell that Austin's my favorite?)
I 2nd this. It was what I was going to recommend. The contract they bought out was actually a 2nd contract....they wanted controll of their own art instead of a big studio telling them what to do, and taking up to 40% of the $$$ they were making. Do listen to their version of Country Roads...but do pause a number of times or it can get blocked.
...I may be wrong, but I thought I read in a comment section somewhere that Keith wanted them to do a cover of his song. Don't quote me, but I'm sure some of the other Home Fries will know for sure.
I agree with you 100% on what you said about the music industry today and the fact that Home Free SHOULD be mainstream & played on the radio every day!! 👍 I'm telling ya (since you brought up the Temptations again), you'll love their take on "Blue Ain't Your Color"!! It was a country song from Keith Urban. He actually asked Home Free to cover one of his songs, believe it or not! 😳❤ They turned it into a Motown doo-wop, complete with Temptations-esque dance moves!! 🔥🤯 It's epic!!
Great reaction. Love your insight! You want them the take you to church? React to My Church. Maren Morris cover! My favorite Home Free song after End of the road! Enjoy! Thank you for your reaction!
Shaun of Boyz 2 Men, was one of the judges when they competed on the Sing Off. He said that they were truly entertaining and had a sound that the world would love. I don't think he was aware of how prophetic his words would prove to be. These guys are known and loved around the world. There are Home Fries everywhere. They tour England, Europe, Japan, Australia as well as across the United States, performing to crowds everywhere they go and are loved. You have listened to just a very few of their songs and are so passionate about them but you have only touched the hem of the garment. There is so much more to explore. They have produced some original songs that rival anything you might hear being produced today for sure. I am a Home Fry and have subscribed to your channel. I am looking forward to watching you react to many more Home Free videos.
Rob is considered the best singer by the entire group but each of these guys could have a solo career they stay together because they want to and also to respect their fans.
Reactor “ That Singer” Nick, calls him “ Gospel Rob”. 😂 Their “ Butts Medley” shows of their hip hop and comedy skills- can’t wait to see your reaction. And you’d love their “ Let’s Get It On/ Thinking Out Loud” is also incredible.
I love Boyz II Men and have played End of the Road (1992) so many times. I never thought I'd ever like a cover of this song. But Home Free did it, while maintaining the respect for the original. How wonderfully sung by all! But for me it is mainly Rob who nailed it. What a great voice with so much soul in it. He touches me deep inside. Of course it is the combination of the other leads, fantastic harmony, bone-feeling bassline and the inhuman vocal percussion that makes it complete.
Great reaction! These guys do an amazing job of this song! They can do any genre including R&B. Rob's voice has so much feeling & soul in it. Austin adding his higher tones, Chance is holding down the bass in the back, Tim adding some deeper bass notes & Adam with his fabulous vocal percussion. These guys are my favorite a cappella group out there. All their songs are good whether it is serious, heart warming or funny.
If they ever come near you, get tickets to see the show. i have seen then 3 times and would go again if they come around. They play smaller venues, so its a bit more personal. they interact with the audience well. I paid below 40 dollars for the tickets. great shows
Thanks for your reactions, and i agree with you, they are phenomenal and never fail to make you feel good. We should hear them every time we turn on the radio.
I’m so glad you appreciate their talent! They even did a bluesy rendition of “Folsom Prison Blues” during Covid. They also bring humor to us as well! The show wanted to label them Country because they didn’t have a country a cappella group.
IMO, nothing will ever replace the original magic from hearing Boyz 11 Men sing this masterpiece, & I am so happy that Home Free, was able to keep the original integrity of the song, yet still inject their own magic, allowing us, to fall in love with it, all over again 💕 *I don't believe any other group, other than Home Free, could have pulled this off, & the fact that they are an a Capella group, puts them on a completely different level of skill & talent* 💕
That would be why he is called "Gospel Rob". They are ALL amazing, but Rob and Austin(but Especially Rob's voice) are my favorites. Oh we know who the temptations are. Amazing comparison. That's a compliment. Your reaction was INCREDIBLE and ENTERTAINING! thank you! ❤ Angel from Philly(fellow Home Fry)
I love your reaction. This is a good group really great group. And they have an enormous amount of talent and they can sing anything. But the record labels that you were talking about are in control of what the singers and musicians sing and play about if they can control what they sing about and they will get a deal.
A great reaction to a wonderful song. I can't wait for you to discover everything they can do. Maybe you'd like to try one of their songs or videos that are a bit comical and show their personalities. It just amazes me just how many types of music thay can perform.
Great reaction! Home Free never disappoints ❤ They have such a great time together. They always bring a smile to my face😁 Check out their cover of "How Great Thou Art" to see another genre. Thanks #homefries
Essential Home Free in the R&B-motown-gospel vein: their cover of Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues and their mashup of Thinking Out Loud (Sheeran)/Let's Get it On (Marvin Gaye).
Adam has several videos of him doing a drum solo they get better every year the last one i seen was in 2022. He showed doing his nonmonica.(harmonica) and so much more.❤ Rob is nick named gospil Rob.
I love these guys so much! I just hope some day I'll be able to have the money to see them in concert and they will have a concert near me when I have the money. (Utah)
3 fun ones are the Butts Remix, All About the Bass & Hillbilly Bone are humorous and show their personalities. Then there’s the serious stuff like brothers in arms, Man of Constant Sorrow ( which is where most rectors start) & Mayday but save that til you know them better because there is a surprise you’ll miss until you familiar with their usual range
Shawn from Boys 2Men was a judge during the sing off, he loved these guys and he loved this when they sent him a copy! Amazing going to church Rob, let's loose!
You're so right. It was Sony that they cut loose from. 'Funny thing, a judge on The Sing Off accidentally called them Home Fries instead of Home Free, and the fans eventually took the name. And there IS a revolution going on. I'm buying books directly from an author. I assume publishers are corporate thieves, so I don't blame her. ('Not some self-published loser; her seven-book set is great. I'm waiting for number 8.)
I just found your channel a few weeks ago. Your genuine enthusiasm and love of music is so engaging. Very much enjoying catching up. Thanks for what you do!
Your Home Free reactions are amazing. You really hit the nail on the head with what you said about the music industry. I'm definitely a "Home Fry". You should watch their performances on The Sing Off. They will blow you away.
When Rob tuns on the "Gospel Rob" it's something special! This is the best cover of "End Of The Road" I've ever heard, and it's not even close. Thanks for the great reaction! There's SO MUCH more of Home Free to explore. They don't miss.
I 100% agree that everyone should know who Home Free are. They have phenomenal talent and are truly nice guys. Really enjoyed your reaction and analysis.
Dimash and Home Free are my absolute favorite two that you have reacted to. ALL members of Home free are talented, and Rob DEFINETLY went to church in this one! lol cant wait to see more reactions.
Great reaction!!! I'm glad that you spoke up about their position in the music world. You've got Godly men that give us their talents for our pleasure. They have not bowed down to the music world. They do fund raisers, backyard get-together, they do collaboration with different artist and take a step back to let the feature artist have the limelight to their their songs. They do not do obscene songs, they are respectful to women and show that they don't need a partially dressed females gyrating on videos to entice one to watch their videos. They are what you see in singing and home time. They use family and friends in their videos. The world doesn't want to have this in the music world. In the 'Butts Remix"the girls dancing are pretty well covered, especially in Cisco' song. Sorry for my tangent! I love these guys and respect them emensly. For songs that you might enjoy are Dire Straits cover to "Brothers in Arms", Crosby, Stills and Nash cover of " Helplessly Hoping " Butts Medley and Everybody Walking This Land.(that one Tim has something to say after the song ends. Thanks for listening to my rant. Keep up your true feelings to all your reactions! God Bless you.
Great reaction. They won a talent show called the Sing Off that is all A Capella. One of the judges was Sean of B2M. He LOVED THEM. I hope he has seen this. It's a totally tribute of love.
For more Gospel Rob you must react to Home Free at the Hosanna concert 2013 “Joy To the World “(this is all in the title of the video). It’s a jazzy, funky rendition of the Christmas carol, Rob digs deep and really cuts loose. There’s also a beatbox breakdown. Then there are some Chance leads- “I Can’t Outrun You “. It’s pure 5 part harmony, hauntingly beautiful, and Chance directed the video. For fun, “Champagne Taste (on a beer budget), Tim lead, and he wrote it. It’s hilarious.
Yes, Home Fries is a great fan group name. The various tiers of support have fun names like Crinkle Cut Fry and similar names. You’re preaching to the choir when you point out how crazy the music industry is now! There’s a video on YT of an outdoor concert that was canceled due to rain & lightning. Instead of HF just walking away, they went to a shelter where fans were talking cover. They did How Great Thou Art without ANY electronics - just their voices. I’ve not heard that many people be so quiet for the entire song. HF is a top class act that knows & appreciates their fans!,
So much talent under one tent is something more rare than a meteorite landing in your backyard tomato patch. Saw them in concert two years ago and they are very entertaining and engaging even when they aren't singing. Most of them can beat box and several can cover the lows as well as the highs. It's like they are the utility jeep of music!
I love the title and I knew you'd get to be a home fry eventually and I'm really glad you got to this one I'm surprised you took this long but I'm very happy you're doing a great job Really enjoy your channel Keep up the great work
Home Fries was given to them by Ben Folds the judge on the sing off I think episode 3 or 4 the fans took it and ran with it the new zeland / Australian fries call themselves the crispy fries
Agree with pretty much everything you said. I'm a British Home Fry, stumbled over their TH-cam channel during covid and they have been in my heart ever since. I've been told that US radio won't play acapella, which is crazy when it's as good as this. Gospel Rob in full voice is a magnificent thing to hear, but Rob is a vocal chameleon. If you want to hear him rap, listen to the Butts Medley. If you want to hear him sing opera, watch the video of him and Austin singing Nessun Dorma (on Austin's channel). And you really need to watch one of the live videos of Adam Rupps drum solos. You're rapidly becoming one of my favourite reactors so more please 😊
I love your reactions more with each one I watch! I watched your reaction to Home Free's cover of "Mayday". I saw Pentatonix first. It was good, but it just didn't TOUCH me. I didn't make it through the song before I turned it off. (Okay, Pentatonix fans, don't hate me!) I had run into them by accident. Then I ran into Home Free the same way. I had never heard of them! But something happened inside me, less than halfway through the very first song I heard them sing. "Man of Constant Sorrow", had me hooked in just seconds! They are the most amazing at harmony since my all time favorites, the Bee Gees! Each one of them is incredible!!! Thank you, for loving them, too! 💜👍👏🤗 GOD BLESS! 🌞
They did a world tour in 2020, and it was cut short due to covid and they had to scramble to get home. In all the countries where they performed they were well known and received. I think they choose to stay off the radio or something because they've performed at the Grand Ole Opry several times. I think their contract was for one year with Columbia, I believe, and they chose not to continue. They have built a fabulous career with over 254 million views some years ago .. Tim mentioned in one of his Story Time bits. When they were introduced, it was mentioned about the Sing Off and they had over 254... views on TH-cam! By now they're probably at half a billion.
Tim Faust Will you still love me tomorrow/ Stay
Lol, you want to go to church? Home Free and Kenny Rogers, Children go where I send Thee..... or even Love Train, they don't have a bad song.
Check out them singing "How Great Thou Art".
Yep ...🤯 Gospel Rob, Buckle up!
" Nessun Dorma" (home free) two country boys Rob and Austin try opera.......check it out takes you to church
You speak the truth....Home Free is my favorite group and I agree it's a crime that more people haven't gotten to experience the immense talent of these guys. They are special. Your reaction was fantastic!
Mine too and I agree.
I was just hoping you would not walk out before Rob "took it to church"!
you're going to be steppin' a lot going down this rabbit hole!! lol

Welcome to the family , Home Fry ! ❤❤❤
Oh, and they do an earth shaking version of Brothers in Arms
Next up? Either the Butts Medley or All About That Bass? Let's have some fun! Spam your choice!
Home Free's _All About That Bass_ is even more fun if you've already seen Traynor's original video.
@MMBxMOB Copy and past this and check out Adam Rupp solo... Home Free: Drum Solo [SPM ST15] Just remember its being recorded on a cell phone in the crowd... hearing it live is so much better but this is still amazing...
As they say, Home Free doesn't do covers, they do upgrades. I think it was Sony they signed up with after winning season 4 The Sing-Off at the end of 2013.

Tim Foust (bass), Austin Brown (high tenor), and Adam Chance (baritone who sang bass in his former group) all have solo channels where they also perform with others who play instruments.

When Rob goes off like that, we call him Gospel Rob. He brings the soul!
You mentioned, The Temptations... They took Keith Urban's song, Blue Ain't Your Color and gave it a Temptations feel and look. INCREDIBLE!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Beware, urbans label like to block this song, but most reactors are able to filter the video and get it passed.
I 2nd this. It was what I was going to recommend. The contract they bought out was actually a 2nd contract....they wanted controll of their own art instead of a big studio telling them what to do, and taking up to 40% of the $$$ they were making. Do listen to their version of Country Roads...but do pause a number of times or it can get blocked.
...I may be wrong, but I thought I read in a comment section somewhere that Keith wanted them to do a cover of his song. Don't quote me, but I'm sure some of the other Home Fries will know for sure.
@@chrismorin1318 Keith's people did approach them to do the cover, but that doesn't matter when it comes to copyrights unfortunately.
Keith Urban definitely wanted Home Free to do his song he was pretty stoked about it..
I agree 100%! This group should be FAMOUS around the world!👍
Adam Rupp Drum solo or beatbox solo...would help see for your own eyes!!!
They are 5 talented guys….. you should check out Adam Rupp, “beatboxer”, his own drum solo, or Tim Foust, when he blows a speaker….
They never miss! Wow. Home Free should be all over the radio! We need to make it happen
Great reaction! You want aTemptations feel? You should do Blue Ain’t Your Color. That one will rock your world!
I agree with you 100% on what you said about the music industry today and the fact that Home Free SHOULD be mainstream & played on the radio every day!! 👍
I'm telling ya (since you brought up the Temptations again), you'll love their take on "Blue Ain't Your Color"!! It was a country song from Keith Urban. He actually asked Home Free to cover one of his songs, believe it or not! 😳❤ They turned it into a Motown doo-wop, complete with Temptations-esque dance moves!! 🔥🤯 It's epic!!
I was looking on their home page for a Temptations cover and couldn't find it. Thank you for jogging my memory. That's a kick-ass video!
HF , the best of the very best!! Incredible live too!
Great reaction. Love your insight! You want them the take you to church? React to My Church. Maren Morris cover! My favorite Home Free song after End of the road! Enjoy! Thank you for your reaction!

Nick Lachey was the host... Shaun was definitely one of the judges.
Me, too!!!!! 🤗
Home Free also did a cover to Dire Strait’s “Brothers in Arms”… you should check that out. Haunting. 👍
Rob is considered the best singer by the entire group but each of these guys could have a solo career they stay together because they want to and also to respect their fans.
Tim doing his Doo-Woop all by himself is great. His range is out of this world. Try " Would You Love Me Tomorrow/ Stay".
I was so impressed when I saw the video of Rob and Austin singing Nessum Dorma. While I love all their voices, Rob’s voice is stunning.
@@guyray1504 Not yet! He needs a few more songs until he can do _Mayday._ THEN _Will you.../Stay_
Reactor “ That Singer” Nick, calls him “ Gospel Rob”. 😂
Their “ Butts Medley” shows of their hip hop and comedy skills- can’t wait to see your reaction.
And you’d love their “ Let’s Get It On/ Thinking Out Loud” is also incredible.
They are such professionals. During COVID shutdown they released a video/song every two weeks. Really kept our spirits up ❤
They absolutely deserve to be on the radio 📻 GREAT reaction ❤❤
💯
Home Free-"BLUE AIN'T YOUR COLOR" if you want Temptations feel and look!
I love Boyz II Men and have played End of the Road (1992) so many times. I never thought I'd ever like a cover of this song. But Home Free did it, while maintaining the respect for the original.
How wonderfully sung by all! But for me it is mainly Rob who nailed it. What a great voice with so much soul in it. He touches me deep inside.
Of course it is the combination of the other leads, fantastic harmony, bone-feeling bassline and the inhuman vocal percussion that makes it complete.
Love your reaction!! You can't pick a bad song from them! Another great cover they do is Unchained Melody. 😊
Great reaction! These guys do an amazing job of this song! They can do any genre including R&B. Rob's voice has so much feeling & soul in it. Austin adding his higher tones, Chance is holding down the bass in the back, Tim adding some deeper bass notes & Adam with his fabulous vocal percussion. These guys are my favorite a cappella group out there. All their songs are good whether it is serious, heart warming or funny.
They were signed to Columbia. Peter Barber does an interview with Tim Foust, and Tim talks about their record deal and why they bought it out.
Tim also does a wonderful interview with the charismatic voice it’s a wonderful interview he talks about his career trajectory and home free’s
If they ever come near you, get tickets to see the show. i have seen then 3 times and would go again if they come around. They play smaller venues, so its a bit more personal. they interact with the audience well. I paid below 40 dollars for the tickets. great shows
I tried when they were scheduled to play at the Ryman in Nashville on Dec 23, but it was canceled due to an over abundance of snow & ice. 😢
Thanks for your reactions, and i agree with you, they are phenomenal and never fail to make you feel good. We should hear them every time we turn on the radio.
Loved your reaction and you are absolutely right, everyone should know who these guys are.
I’m so glad you appreciate their talent! They even did a bluesy rendition of “Folsom Prison Blues” during Covid. They also bring humor to us as well! The show wanted to label them Country because they didn’t have a country a cappella group.

Voices sent down from above to bring love, joy and happiness.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Enjoy the ride!
These guys a great, they can do it all. I listen to them every day. Any song suggested I will second. Enjoy the music.
❤️🤠 HF. Great reaction.
That would be why he is called "Gospel Rob". They are ALL amazing, but Rob and Austin(but Especially Rob's voice) are my favorites. Oh we know who the temptations are. Amazing comparison. That's a compliment. Your reaction was INCREDIBLE and ENTERTAINING! thank you! ❤ Angel from Philly(fellow Home Fry)

But the record labels that you were talking about are in control of what the singers and musicians sing and play about if they can control what they sing about and they will get a deal.
Big labels dictate what songs you will do. Home Free wants to do their own thing. They travel the world and have fans everywhere!!
A great reaction to a wonderful song. I can't wait for you to discover everything they can do. Maybe you'd like to try one of their songs or videos that are a bit comical and show their personalities. It just amazes me just how many types of music thay can perform.
Great reaction! Home Free never disappoints ❤ They have such a great time together. They always bring a smile to my face😁 Check out their cover of "How Great Thou Art" to see another genre. Thanks #homefries

Essential Home Free in the R&B-motown-gospel vein: their cover of Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues and their mashup of Thinking Out Loud (Sheeran)/Let's Get it On (Marvin Gaye).
I firmly believe that you are so genuine in your reactions that Home Free will rise. I agree about the music industry and its degredation.
I have become a home fry. I want to hear 👂 them on the radio NOW. AWE so darn GREAT. ❤
Another masterpiece by Home Free! So good! Every song they cover, they own! I love your reactions to them. Priceless!
Phenomenal, authentic, hardworking, personable ... no end to the adjectives.
If you want a good laugh their quarantine video is AWESOME filmed in each of their homes during covid lockdown
Adam has several videos of him doing a drum solo they get better every year the last one i seen was in 2022. He showed doing his nonmonica.(harmonica) and so much more.❤ Rob is nick named gospil Rob.
You need to see him do a drum solo
I LOVE this reaction!
You should listen to it with headphones
Agree. Headphones make a huge difference with Home Free!
Great reaction and you're right! They should absolutely be on the radio. Rob killed it!
I love these guys so much! I just hope some day I'll be able to have the money to see them in concert and they will have a concert near me when I have the money. (Utah)
3 fun ones are the Butts Remix, All About the Bass & Hillbilly Bone are humorous and show their personalities.

I just found your channel a few weeks ago. Your genuine enthusiasm and love of music is so engaging. Very much enjoying catching up. Thanks for what you do!
Now if you really want your mind blown.. react to Rob & Austin singing opera. They did the aria Nessun Dorma!! You will need to leave your house!!
Your Home Free reactions are amazing. You really hit the nail on the head with what you said about the music industry. I'm definitely a "Home Fry". You should watch their performances on The Sing Off. They will blow you away.
Let us introduce you to our good friend, Gospel Rob! 😊
Loved your reaction and you’ve only just begun this amazing Home Free journey!!
This guy's are awesome and on this song one of the best ever they nailed it. This group is on fire.
“Decent following” may be the biggest understatement of the year! I’m glad you’ve found Home Free. Loved your reaction! Genuine!
Acapella group ❤❤❤
I agree with everything you've said. Home Free definitely deserves some major airplay!
When Rob tuns on the "Gospel Rob" it's something special! This is the best cover of "End Of The Road" I've ever heard, and it's not even close. Thanks for the great reaction! There's SO MUCH more of Home Free to explore. They don't miss.
I 100% agree that everyone should know who Home Free are. They have phenomenal talent and are truly nice guys.
Really enjoyed your reaction and analysis.
Watch Adam Rupp beatbox solo!!! Somewhere there's at least couple of videos ....live performance doing his magic as a beatboxer
I've got a playlist with 50+ drum solo videos. All unique, all brilliant.
You are in for a long long journey with these amazing Men.. They can do EVERYTHING!!! I love your reactions they are just absolutely adorable..🏡🆓🏡🍟
Enjoyed your reaction! ❤
Dimash and Home Free are my absolute favorite two that you have reacted to. ALL members of Home free are talented, and Rob DEFINETLY went to church in this one! lol cant wait to see more reactions.
Great reaction!!! I'm glad that you spoke up about their position in the music world. You've got Godly men that give us their talents for our pleasure. They have not bowed down to the music world. They do fund raisers, backyard get-together, they do collaboration with different artist and take a step back to let the feature artist have the limelight to their their songs. They do not do obscene songs, they are respectful to women and show that they don't need a partially dressed females gyrating on videos to entice one to watch their videos. They are what you see in singing and home time. They use family and friends in their videos. The world doesn't want to have this in the music world. In the 'Butts Remix"the girls dancing are pretty well covered, especially in Cisco' song. Sorry for my tangent! I love these guys and respect them emensly.
For songs that you might enjoy are Dire Straits cover to "Brothers in Arms", Crosby, Stills and Nash cover of " Helplessly Hoping " Butts Medley and Everybody Walking This Land.(that one Tim has something to say after the song ends.
Thanks for listening to my rant. Keep up your true feelings to all your reactions! God Bless you.
Great reaction. They won a talent show called the Sing Off that is all A Capella. One of the judges was Sean of B2M. He LOVED THEM. I hope he has seen this. It's a totally tribute of love.
He did, He loved it.

For more Gospel Rob you must react to Home Free at the Hosanna concert 2013 “Joy To the World “(this is all in the title of the video). It’s a jazzy, funky rendition of the Christmas carol, Rob digs deep and really cuts loose. There’s also a beatbox breakdown. Then there are some Chance leads- “I Can’t Outrun You “. It’s pure 5 part harmony, hauntingly beautiful, and Chance directed the video. For fun, “Champagne Taste (on a beer budget), Tim lead, and he wrote it. It’s hilarious.
Yes, Home Fries is a great fan group name. The various tiers of support have fun names like Crinkle Cut Fry and similar names. You’re preaching to the choir when you point out how crazy the music industry is now! There’s a video on YT of an outdoor concert that was canceled due to rain & lightning. Instead of HF just walking away, they went to a shelter where fans were talking cover. They did How Great Thou Art without ANY electronics - just their voices. I’ve not heard that many people be so quiet for the entire song. HF is a top class act that knows & appreciates their fans!,
Wow! Deep. And true. This group is the epitome of greatness. Excellent reaction, as always. Much love ❤️
Maaaan, talk about nostalgia. This took me right back! 😆
So much talent under one tent is something more rare than a meteorite landing in your backyard tomato patch. Saw them in concert two years ago and they are very entertaining and engaging even when they aren't singing. Most of them can beat box and several can cover the lows as well as the highs. It's like they are the utility jeep of music!
I love the title and I knew you'd get to be a home fry eventually and I'm really glad you got to this one I'm surprised you took this long but I'm very happy you're doing a great job Really enjoy your channel Keep up the great work
Home Fries was given to them by Ben Folds the judge on the sing off I think episode 3 or 4 the fans took it and ran with it the new zeland / Australian fries call themselves the crispy fries
Agree with pretty much everything you said. I'm a British Home Fry, stumbled over their TH-cam channel during covid and they have been in my heart ever since. I've been told that US radio won't play acapella, which is crazy when it's as good as this. Gospel Rob in full voice is a magnificent thing to hear, but Rob is a vocal chameleon. If you want to hear him rap, listen to the Butts Medley. If you want to hear him sing opera, watch the video of him and Austin singing Nessun Dorma (on Austin's channel). And you really need to watch one of the live videos of Adam Rupps drum solos. You're rapidly becoming one of my favourite reactors so more please 😊
I love your reactions more with each one I watch!
I watched your reaction to Home Free's cover of "Mayday".
I saw Pentatonix first. It was good, but it just didn't TOUCH me. I didn't make it through the song before I turned it off. (Okay, Pentatonix fans, don't hate me!)
I had run into them by accident.
Then I ran into Home Free the same way. I had never heard of them! But something happened inside me, less than halfway through the very first song I heard them sing. "Man of Constant Sorrow", had me hooked in just seconds! They are the most amazing at harmony since my all time favorites, the Bee Gees! Each one of them is incredible!!!
Thank you, for loving them, too! 💜👍👏🤗
GOD BLESS! 🌞
One of the best reactors out there bro.
Keep going.
This is a great, great song and a wonderful cover of this song. It's a classic song.
Love your reaction! I could listen to you all day, and agree with your comments about Home Free. Thanks!!
Next up needs to be "Brothers In Arms", their cover of the Dire Straits song. It will blow your mind!
They did a world tour in 2020, and it was cut short due to covid and they had to scramble to get home. In all the countries where they performed they were well known and received. I think they choose to stay off the radio or something because they've performed at the Grand Ole Opry several times. I think their contract was for one year with Columbia, I believe, and they chose not to continue. They have built a fabulous career with over 254 million views some years ago
.. Tim mentioned in one of his Story Time bits. When they were introduced, it was mentioned about the Sing Off and they had over 254... views on TH-cam! By now they're probably at half a billion.
Actually they are close to 700 million.
Your comments are so spot on. Thanks for the reaction!!
Love your reaction to this! Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰
Glorious beutifull soulful 😊
Preach!!!!!!!! Awesome Reaction!!!!!!!
