I am not much of a country fan, as well. But somehow their acapella country appeals to me big time. Also could just be that their talent overshadows the genre.
Everything you hear in this song is done vocally. There are no instruments used. Yes, it was recorded in a studio and audio mastered for best quality, but it's all vocal. The guy making the harmonica sounds is also doing all the drums/percussion in the song.
I'm not much of a country music fan myself (I don't typically listen to it by choice), but Home Free's talent, style and spin on their songs (covers and originals) quickly had me hooked. You'll be certain to have a lot of "Home Fries" joining you soon with comments and suggestions. I usually wait until I've watched at least a couple of Home Free reactions on a channel before I subscribe, but I've already hit the subscribe button here! Great and honest review! Some of the less country sounding songs in their playlist include ones others have suggested already (Butts Remix, End of the Road, All About That Bass) as well as Can't Stop the Feeling, and Try Everything. They just released their cover of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" and that is the one currently stuck in my head.
@@CShayOfficial trust me, I'm English, and American country music definitely not my forte. But they covered Ed Sheeran's Castle on the Hill, and they had me hooked.
They really do cover a wide range. They have a certain country/folky sensibility to a lot of their stuff, especially their originals, but there is a lot that isn't. As has been mentioned, Castle on the Hill is well done. End of the Road is sublime. Their version of Keith Urban's Blue Ain't Your Color leaves the Country genre. Their recent "quarantine" videos recorded from their own home areas have been dorky, but good. Sunday Best is one I recommend from this period.
If you want to try some more Home Free but not country try their covers of Boys II Men’s “End of The Road” or Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling”. If you want to try more country then their version of John Denver’s “Take Me Home Country Roads” is usually a song even non country fans don’t mind hearing from time to time. “Ring of Fire” is great both the one with Avi and the one from the competition show “The Sing Off” where Tim (the bass of Home Free) hits an even lower note then he does in the version with Avi. Comedic covers include All About the Bass, the Butts Medley (known as the Butts Remix and a mix of styles), Thank God I’m a Country Boy, Quarantine (to the tune of Billy Joel’s song “Honesty”).
Home Free is MUCH MUCH more than just country musc. They've done all genres of music, but yes they do go towards country but have an open mind......react to an original of theirs Dive Bar Saints.....I think you'll get them a bit better listening to that.
So I have actually watched a few of your PTX reactions & enjoy you. After watching your first Home Free video I have now hit that subscribe button. I'm a PentaFry lol!! I so appreciate your genuine honesty, yet still having the open mind & willingness to at least check it out. Since you don't "like" Country or Gospel there are a few you may not particularly care for, but you seem to appreciate artistry & talent & that there is in abundance lol. They have a ton that aren't in either of those genres that you may actually enjoy! Or at least be amazed & entertained lol! There's even Ring of Fire that features Avi from PTX & although traditionally "Country"....just be mindful it's acapella....no constraints....lol so they do what they wish with it. Their voices don't have the super strong twang in them other than this song truthfully. It's there just enough to know THEY are steeped in Country but the genre they're covering may NOT be. They covered Boyz II Men End of the Road. They did a mashup of songs calked "Butts". They did Meghan Trainor All About That Bass. And countless others. They have IMPECCABLE harmonies & ALL of them have extensive ranges. The Beatboxer is an Alien just like Kevin from PTX. His name is Adam Rupp. Check out his "drum solo" video if you would like to get a better understanding of that musical confusion of sonic delight was, that you just experienced lol. My jaw hurt by the time I picked it up 🤣🤣🤣 Whatever you do.....do NOT watch Mayday until you have at LEAST a good 6-7 Home Free Videos under your belt! Now, I look forward to continuing with you on your journey down both rabbit holes😎😎
I was never a fan of country music before Home Free. Their arrangements and harmonies won me over. Check out End of the Road or Can't Stop the Feeling for a different genre. Also Helplessly Hoping.... New sub... hope you'll do more HF!
You haven't heard anything yet. Tim Foust, the bass, can go much lower than that. I have been to 6 of their concerts and his low bass vibrates your body and your chair. Check out their TH-cam channel for some songs that are not country. They won the "Sing-Off" show too. Check out their performance of "Ring of Fire" on the "Sing-Off" and listen to the judges and MC's reactions after they sing. Time Foust, the bass, can also go pretty high, up to A5.
The group is actually from Minnesota, but the newest members are from Texas, Georgia, and Alabama so they’re more Country and Southern than when they started.
I know your having lots of fun. Home Free is The only country accapella group, but they do everything. The beat boxer Adam Rupp is known as the Freak of nature. He has a video doing a drum solo. Since the pandemic started they've released a new video every other Friday....so far they've done at ten. They've done this from their respective homes then send their parts in to their editing and arrangement people. Everything they've done is amazing. They did a little bit of everything and there'll be another one coming in two weeks. They're very dedicated. Just subscribed hoping you'll give them a chance. Tim Foust the bass hasn't sung here as low as he can go. God bless and stay safe
Welcome to Home Free! Try their Original Timeless, or the covers of Everybody Walkin' This Land, Boys II Men’s End of The Road, or Can’t Stop the Feeling if you aren't into the country sound. Maybe even their recent cover of Sunday's Best. A lot of their music doesn't sound country, even if they are classified that way. I think that's one of the reasons so many non country music people like their music. I have to include myself in there. LOL Thanks! This was a fun reaction. ^_^
These guys are so creative and unique... you never know what you're gonna get from them! But you know it will be good! And we, Home Fries, love their sense of humor. Thanks for the reaction!
If you're interested in hearing more Home Free and given your comments at the beginning of your reaction, maybe react to their version of "Everybody walk'in this land". I am not a country fan but I am a Home Fry.
I was actually having a bit of a rough day. But, your reaction was so delightful! I really enjoyed it, and I chuckled all the way through it. Thank you. Keep up the good work!
Glad you gave Home Free a try, they do some music that is not all country if you want to check out more they are very Talented. Tim is their Bass, but he can also sing very high. Chance can also sing Bass and Alto and their BeatBoxer adam is incredible.
Country fried pop medly, the butts remix, God bless the usa w Lee greenwood, do you hear what i hear, save mayday till you learn them, if you continue. End of the road!
I did not like country, still don't. But... I love Home Free. The talent is just so good. They do anything and everything btw. They can do it all. Thanks for doing this one. React to these guys and subscribers will pour in.
The mouth harp is done by Adam Chance (hat & dark vest) and is done on a loop for their stage performances. Beatboxing/harmonica are Adam Rupp. This song requires 7 voices and there are only 5 of them.
They do plenty of none country music, over quarantine they have released a cover every two weeks keeping us all happy. Try Peter Hollens feat Tim Foust “Misty Mountain” to say how deep he can go.
Tim Foust, the bass, has an insane range. There is at least one video of him blowing speakers with the lower notes. Adam Rupp, beatboxer, does a drum solo video out there.
One of the things about Home Free is that although there is almost always a small amount of country flavor, they sing a wide range of genres ..making each song slightly their own without murdering the covers that they do. You might find more in their "End of the Road" cover... or one of their more humorous songs like "The Butts Remix" which has a bit of country and a bit of ...a lot of things :)
React to their Butts Remix. Home Free isn’t just country. In fact, they even convert some songs from country to pop like their cover of Folsom Prison Blues. Like you, I don’t care for country but am strangely addicted to this group.
This song may not impress you because country may not be your thing. Most of their songs are not twangy. They do 7 bridges Rd from Eagles and Helplessly hoping by CCR. They do end of the Rd by Boys to Men to give you an idea of their versatility.
They don't always sing country music or with a country accent. They cover a huge variety of music genres, including originals. Their more recent music is less country, especially since they started doing more original music. It's my first video of yours to watch so I'm not sure what you are interested in but you might want to try their video of "End of the Road". Also, Adam makes the harmonica sound at least partly through his nose. You can see him for a brief moment in the video holding the side of his nose, closing off one nostril.
They are not too country because they have a beatboxer and not a banjo. I'm not that much into the country either, but usually they jazz up country and their harmonies are so good you have to check out another one. Try another, you pick, they take country tunes and add beat to them and also take pop, R&B tunes and add a country flair to it and they are very unique in what they do. These guys do have a few religious songs in their hundreds of videos, but so do PTX, Voiceplay, or about any other acapella group, because that is acapella's roots.Home Free won the Sing- Off season 4, the season after PTX.
Welcome to the world of Home Free where anything is possible. This song is extra country. Most of their songs aren't this country. I love their "End of the Road" cover. Also check out their "Butts Remix" and "Ring of Fire" the live Sing off version before the version featuring Avi Kaplan. If you continue on this journey please wait to listen to their cover of "Mayday" by Cam until you have a good feel for what and who they are.
Agree. Watch their live version of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" that they first arranged for the Singoff TV show. Then watch the lip-synced studio version around the campfire, with Avi Kaplan as a guest artist. (Tim goes really low in both versions.) Then, at some point, watch "Mayday" and have them mess with your head.
Tim Foust is the bass and has a five and a half octave range. Try listening to Misty Mountain with Tim Foust and Peter Hollens, or Everybody Walking this Land
We live in a great country, everyone is entitled to voice their opinion. Everyone is entitled to agree or disagree. Try to be nice. I think Home Free is a great group. IMO
You should listen to their cover of END OF THE ROAD by Boyz to men. The bass guys name is Tim, he has a wide range he can sing.but when he talks his voice is very low as well, they do some pop stuff.
Home Free is the "other" group that is rewriting the book on a capella worldwide. For Home Free, may I recommend their "Ring of Fire" (Johnny Cash), and my favorite, "Helplessly Hoping" (Crosby, Stills & Nash) (and then a quarantined Italian Youth Choir's cover of Home Free's arrangement) and all the rest of the suggestions. They are all great.
They are so much more than a Country A Capella band. Pick a genre and they have probably covered it. Take a few steps down the "Home Free Rabbit Hole." Enjoy the ride.
they are much more than just this, you really should give them a real chance. Listen to their cover of John Denver's "Country Roads" you will them have appreciation for their abilities & talent.
If your a big Pentatonix fan try "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Kapalan. For more of Adam Rupp's awesome beatbox madness check out his drum solo. And, I agree with the earlier comments, Home Free is it's own thing. Which is why, I feel, they get no respect from the industry insiders. Brett's wife
It’s really hard not to like Home Free (even if you’re not a country fan). Some great non-country suggestions by others; I’d add to check out Auld Lang Syne, Blue Ain’t Your Colour, The Butts Remix and Quarantine.
CShay PLAYZ Please, please react to Home Free’s latest release, Folsom Prison Blues - the beatboxer (Adam) is simply amazing and the bass will blow your socks off. You won’t be disappointed. (You’re welcome.) 😉
I'm not a country music fan either, but as soon as i heard them do "End of the Road", i was hooked on their talent, humor and overall good vibes.......just a group of good guys with amazing talent.......please do the Butts Remix and Country Fried Pop.
Yep, ALL music done by Home Free is done true acapella. In this song, instruments were performed by the 2 Adams - Adam Rupp (beatboxer, Drums, Woodblock, Harmonica etc.,) & Adam Chance (Jew's Harp & other various). HF do bunch of great covers though I'll warn ya in advance, they maintain their southern country flair. OH, & since ya like Pentatonix, you should give listen & react to: Pentatonix - Bohemian Rhapsody [Acapella cover] th-cam.com/video/ojRj2JK5oCI/w-d-xo.html Pentatonix - The Sound of Silence th-cam.com/video/gdVjVtpr55M/w-d-xo.html Home Free - Ring of Fire (featuring Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix) [Acapella cover] th-cam.com/video/0l3dsHCScxU/w-d-xo.html BTW, the 5 part harmony acapella category is presently dominated by 3 groups, you've listened to 2 so far. Now ya need to complete the last leg of the Triple Crown & sample some VoicePlay The previous 2 have their niches (Pop/rock for PTX & Country for HF), VoicePlay is big on movie song medley covers, especially Disney animated movies The Little Mermaid - MEDLEY (feat. Rachel Potter) th-cam.com/video/zJVhVFRknTU/w-d-xo.html MOANA MEDLEY | VoicePlay Feat. Rachel Potter th-cam.com/video/4nM5JZ6DL_U/w-d-xo.html Frozen 2 Medley Feat.

OHOHOH... and I'd be almost criminally negligent if I didn't hype one of the most incredible female vocal talents today The Phoenix of the Philippines, Morissette Amon - "Akin Ka Na Lang" [Original song] on the WISH 107.5 Bus th-cam.com/video/p2FXQgtmPDw/w-d-xo.html Note: While Morissette can speak at least 3 languages fluently including English, this is sung in her native tongue Tagalog, So you'll want to turn on your CC to see what she's singing. REACT & ENJOY!
I'll add my own recommendation for Butts Remix. Definitely still a country twang to it, but pretty sure there'll be more that'll surprise you. It's a funny song.
If you want to react to more hip-hop react to their cover of Sam Hunt's "House Party" also look at "Spaceship" a cover of Andy Grammer's hip hop song. The Butts remix also some Home Free doing rap.
That was funny to me when you started by saying you don't like country and gospel...and country gospel. These guys do amazing country gospel and of course so much more. I would not be surprised if these guys got you to appreciate that genre. With that said, the butts remix is a very fun (and funny) cross genre video to react to.
Pedantic comment, 'cause I'm a pedant. In music, the word "forte" has 2 syllables because it is Italian. A person's particular strength is described by the word "forte" as well. But it's origin is French, meaning that the final vowel is silent and there is only one syllable.
What you claimed as the original was not. This song was first published in 1916 (put to paper). By that time, the song was already an old old American Folk song. The originator of this song is unknown.
Butts Remix, All About That Bass, I Swear, When A Man Loves A Woman, End of the Road. Check out more. They are super entertaining. You have to give them another shot.
I see that this was a year ago, so I hope you have listened to some of their "not country" songs. I don't like what I would call "classic" country. But Home Free has done a ton of other stuff. Just a few weeks ago they did a killer cover of the Doobies' Listen to the Music. And they have a ton of really funny videos. Butts Remix, a cover of All About the Bass - which really is all about Tim, the bass guy. Just so many. I think it's a little unfortunate that you started with one of their most "countrified" performances. I hope you moved on to some of their other stuff and enjoyed it.
You need to see Ring of Fire by these guys and featuring the old bass from Pentatonix, Avi Kaplan. How aboout acapella country regae? The twangy insrument you're searching for is a Jews Harp. For some thing not so country try Mayday, or Wake me up when it's All Over.
I’m new to your channel. Liking it so far. I don’t like Country at all, BUT I like Home Free. Lol. BTW... You should totally react to the Ten Second Songs channel! That guy is AWESOME! He does a song in 20 styles and each style lasts 10 seconds. Love him.
Check out Home Free with Avi Kaplan do a cover of "Ring of Fire" Tim and Avi share the bass and it's awesome, Adam is insane with the beatbox percussion and Austin's voice goes up into the clouds.
Well, my positive attitude is to agree with you... I don’t like country music, either. A particular pet peeve of mine (you see this on a lot of singing competition shows) is when their singing voice has an artificially country or twangy voice, which they don’t have when they speak. I feel like we’re getting this here. Are these guys really from log cabins in the hills of Kentucky or Tennessee? Do they drink moonshine? I don’t like it. I don’t think it’s even country as much as bluegrass. I dunno. I don’t like. Doesn’t Avi Kaplan do some work with them?!
Austin Brown, the tenor with the more obvious twang in the song, is from Georgia, and does have a natural twang to his accent, but he did emphasize it more for the style of this song. Avi sings with them in a cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire," also an excellent song for listeners new to Home Free, especially those with an existing Pentatonix appreciation.
jypsy2000 Well, I’m from and live in GA and I’ve never heard anyone with a twang like that here. Ring of Fire is a toughie for me because, even though it’s a Johnny Cash song, I grew up knowing Olivia Newton John singing it! Warps my brain! 🧠 I started listening to it the other day and I had to turn it off after just a few seconds. I’ll try a song again sometime, because I’d really like to see how Avi blends with them.
It occurs to me that some judge on a competition show chewed someone out about their exaggerated country accent and made them redo it and it sounded much better. Still had her country accent, but it didn’t sound exaggerated. Someone below suggested a song that I think I’ll listen to, and I promise to do it with an open mind!
The high tenor (Austin, started the song) is from Georgia, the deep bass (Tim) is from Texas, the baritone/bass (Chance, was doing the jaw harp beginning & End) is from Alabama, the tenor (Rob in glasses) and the beatboxer (Adam) are both from Minnesota.

Since you don't like country, You definitely need to watch their "Butt Remix". 🤣🤣🤣🤣 *edit* or their cover of Megan Trainor's "All about that Bass"
There's many reactors that don't like country music ....but they love Home Free! Try their cover of Helplessly Hoping or End Of The Road!
And...another one falls down the rabbit hole...
@@CShayOfficial with Home Free it doesn't happen too often, once they have you its over
Tim Foust is arguably one of the best basses in the world today. He’s a true BASSO PROFUNDO!
I am not much of a country fan, as well. But somehow their acapella country appeals to me big time. Also could just be that their talent overshadows the genre.

The “twang sound” is a mouth harp, just FYI 😁. Well, a vocal impersonation of it anyway.
Jew's Harp is the main name and there are many others for it as well.
Done by Adam Chance
They can sing anything. Great group
I know your having lots of fun. Home Free is The only country accapella group, but they do everything. The beat boxer Adam Rupp is known as the Freak of nature. He has a video doing a drum solo.

"That instrument" is called Adam!
This made me chuckle out loud! Adam is a human sound machine.
I was actually having a bit of a rough day. But, your reaction was so delightful!
I really enjoyed it, and I chuckled all the way through it. Thank you. Keep up the good work!
That’s the jaw harp
Some of their more fun less country. The Butts remix is fun
How Great Thou Art and Auld Lang Syne are 2 songs that are good as well. Their harmony is spot on.
Appreciate your candor. Yoiur skepticism shows that yours are true reactions.. Count me in as a new member here.
I just subscribed.. PLEASE do more HOME FREE The instrument you ar thimking of is the jaw harp.
Glad you gave Home Free a try, they do some music that is not all country if you want to check out more they are very Talented. Tim is their Bass, but he can also sing very high. Chance can also sing Bass and Alto and their BeatBoxer adam is incredible.

I'm not that much into the country either, but usually they jazz up country and their harmonies are so good you have to check out another one. Try another, you pick, they take country tunes and add beat to them and also take pop, R&B tunes and add a country flair to it and they are very unique in what they do. These guys do have a few religious songs in their hundreds of videos, but so do PTX, Voiceplay, or about any other acapella group, because that is acapella's roots.Home Free won the Sing- Off season 4, the season after PTX.
Welcome to the world of Home Free where anything is possible. This song is extra country. Most of their songs aren't this country. I love their "End of the Road" cover. Also check out their "Butts Remix" and "Ring of Fire" the live Sing off version before the version featuring Avi Kaplan.
If you continue on this journey please wait to listen to their cover of "Mayday" by Cam until you have a good feel for what and who they are.
Agree. Watch their live version of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" that they first arranged for the Singoff TV show. Then watch the lip-synced studio version around the campfire, with Avi Kaplan as a guest artist. (Tim goes really low in both versions.) Then, at some point, watch "Mayday" and have them mess with your head.
Tim Foust is the bass and has a five and a half octave range. Try listening to Misty Mountain with Tim Foust and Peter Hollens, or Everybody Walking this Land
We live in a great country, everyone is entitled to voice their opinion. Everyone is entitled to agree or disagree. Try to be nice. I think Home Free is a great group. IMO
Thanks for an honest reaction. Just subbed
You should listen to their cover of END OF THE ROAD by Boyz to men. The bass guys name is Tim, he has a wide range he can sing.but when he talks his voice is very low as well, they do some pop stuff.
Home Free is the "other" group that is rewriting the book on a capella worldwide. For Home Free, may I recommend their "Ring of Fire" (Johnny Cash), and my favorite, "Helplessly Hoping" (Crosby, Stills & Nash) (and then a quarantined Italian Youth Choir's cover of Home Free's arrangement) and all the rest of the suggestions. They are all great.
If you don’t like country do their end of the road
They are so much more than a Country A Capella band. Pick a genre and they have probably covered it. Take a few steps down the "Home Free Rabbit Hole." Enjoy the ride.
they are much more than just this, you really should give them a real chance. Listen to their cover of John Denver's "Country Roads" you will them have appreciation for their abilities & talent.
Tim, the bass, is a Basso Profundo, and has a 5+ octave rage !
His party trick is to blow sub woofers ! He goes THAT low !
If your a big Pentatonix fan try "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Kapalan.
For more of Adam Rupp's awesome beatbox madness check out his drum solo.
And, I agree with the earlier comments, Home Free is it's own thing.
Which is why, I feel, they get no respect from the industry insiders.

It’s really hard not to like Home Free (even if you’re not a country fan). Some great non-country suggestions by others; I’d add to check out Auld Lang Syne, Blue Ain’t Your Colour, The Butts Remix and Quarantine.
CShay PLAYZ Please, please react to Home Free’s latest release, Folsom Prison Blues - the beatboxer (Adam) is simply amazing and the bass will blow your socks off. You won’t be disappointed. (You’re welcome.) 😉
They do a cover of Johnny Cash is Folsom prison blues they put it out just a few days ago you should really check it out
Now do Mayday and see the Bass (Tim Foust) range. Incredible.
I'm not a country music fan either, but as soon as i heard them do "End of the Road", i was hooked on their talent, humor and overall good vibes.......just a group of good guys with amazing talent.......please do the Butts Remix and Country Fried Pop.
You're starting like them whether you know it or not!
Yep, ALL music done by Home Free is done true acapella.
In this song, instruments were performed by the 2 Adams - Adam Rupp (beatboxer, Drums, Woodblock, Harmonica etc.,) & Adam Chance (Jew's Harp & other various).
HF do bunch of great covers though I'll warn ya in advance, they maintain their southern country flair.
OH, & since ya like Pentatonix, you should give listen & react to:
Pentatonix - Bohemian Rhapsody [Acapella cover]
th-cam.com/video/ojRj2JK5oCI/w-d-xo.html
Pentatonix - The Sound of Silence
th-cam.com/video/gdVjVtpr55M/w-d-xo.html
Home Free - Ring of Fire (featuring Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix) [Acapella cover]
th-cam.com/video/0l3dsHCScxU/w-d-xo.html
BTW, the 5 part harmony acapella category is presently dominated by 3 groups, you've listened to 2 so far.
Now ya need to complete the last leg of the Triple Crown & sample some VoicePlay
The previous 2 have their niches (Pop/rock for PTX & Country for HF),
VoicePlay is big on movie song medley covers, especially Disney animated movies
The Little Mermaid - MEDLEY (feat. Rachel Potter)

** This one is my personal fav: VoicePlay - Oogie Boogie's Song | The Nightmare Before Christmas [Acapella cover]

Voiceplay's Geoff Castellucci does a 5 part solo cover of The Jungle Book's "The Bare Necessities" song th-cam.com/video/GaHV8yILG2k/w-d-xo.html
NOTE: The bass singers from Pentatonix (Avi Kaplan), Home Free (Tim Foust) & VoicePlay (Geoff Castellucci) are all well known for hitting notes so low they destroy mics, subwoofers & stage speakers during their live performances.
OHOHOH... and I'd be almost criminally negligent if I didn't hype one of the most incredible female vocal talents today
The Phoenix of the Philippines, Morissette Amon -
"Akin Ka Na Lang" [Original song] on the WISH 107.5 Bus th-cam.com/video/p2FXQgtmPDw/w-d-xo.html
Note: While Morissette can speak at least 3 languages fluently including English, this is sung in her native tongue Tagalog, So you'll want to turn on your CC to see what she's singing.
REACT & ENJOY!
That twang sound you're talking about is from an autoharp normally, sometimes called a mouth harp.
Love from a Home Fry!!❤ Please react to some of their other music. End of the Road and Castle on the Hill covers are not country. Check them out!
I'll add my own recommendation for Butts Remix. Definitely still a country twang to it, but pretty sure there'll be more that'll surprise you. It's a funny song.
Listen to the Mayday and or end of the road cover of BoyzII Men by Home Free.
Instrument is called a juice harp or a mouth harp at the beginning.
If you want to react to more hip-hop react to their cover of Sam Hunt's "House Party" also look at "Spaceship" a cover of Andy Grammer's hip hop song. The Butts remix also some Home Free doing rap.
That was funny to me when you started by saying you don't like country and gospel...and country gospel. These guys do amazing country gospel and of course so much more. I would not be surprised if these guys got you to appreciate that genre. With that said, the butts remix is a very fun (and funny) cross genre video to react to.
Love the didgeridoo instrument sound they added.
It's a Jews harp or a jaw harp not a didgeridoo
The beat over is a 3 time world champion
The instrument's called a "jaw harp".
I think you should watch Adam Rupp's drum solo video... he's the beat boxer and he's amazing!
The bear boxer is a 2x world champion. You should check out his drum solo. His name is Adam Rupp.
One of them, Adam Chance, is making that other sound, a didgerydo
not a didgeridoo, it's a Jews harp or a jaw harp.....there are other names for it too, but idk them.
you should listen to their live rendition of bring him home from les miserables -- the twang is all gone and it is beautiful
Butt Medley and their more recent cover, Folsom Prison are my favorites from them.
They started as primarily country but have really branched out. I also suggest "Butts Remix," and their cover of Shakira's "Try Everything."
Pedantic comment, 'cause I'm a pedant. In music, the word "forte" has 2 syllables because it is Italian. A person's particular strength is described by the word "forte" as well. But it's origin is French, meaning that the final vowel is silent and there is only one syllable.
Lots of crossover of Home Fries and Pentaholics. People who like one group tend to like the other as well.
This song has been around longer than "country music". It is Americana.
Listen to beatboxer Adam Rupp drum solo! He’s a world champion! They’re all amazing artists! Try “ End of the Road”;
What you claimed as the original was not. This song was first published in 1916 (put to paper). By that time, the song was already an old old American Folk song. The originator of this song is unknown.
Butts Remix, All About That Bass, I Swear, When A Man Loves A Woman, End of the Road. Check out more. They are super entertaining. You have to give them another shot.
I see that this was a year ago, so I hope you have listened to some of their "not country" songs. I don't like what I would call "classic" country. But Home Free has done a ton of other stuff. Just a few weeks ago they did a killer cover of the Doobies' Listen to the Music. And they have a ton of really funny videos. Butts Remix, a cover of All About the Bass - which really is all about Tim, the bass guy. Just so many. I think it's a little unfortunate that you started with one of their most "countrified" performances. I hope you moved on to some of their other stuff and enjoyed it.
❤❤
Try "Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On" mashup by them.
You need to see Ring of Fire by these guys and featuring the old bass from Pentatonix, Avi Kaplan. How aboout acapella country regae? The twangy insrument you're searching for is a Jews Harp. For some thing not so country try Mayday, or Wake me up when it's All Over.
If you've enjoyed that you should absolutely listen to their cover of mayday. One of my favorite covers they did
Juice harp or mouth harp. That is Adam Rupp doing all of the beat boxing, he is amazing. Check out their Butts remix.
I’m new to your channel. Liking it so far. I don’t like Country at all, BUT I like Home Free. Lol. BTW... You should totally react to the Ten Second Songs channel! That guy is AWESOME! He does a song in 20 styles and each style lasts 10 seconds. Love him.
Jaw Harp. Via harmonic singing (e.g. Tibetan Throat Singing).
Also no harmonica and no drum set.
Check out Home Free with Avi Kaplan do a cover of "Ring of Fire" Tim and Avi share the bass and it's awesome, Adam is insane with the beatbox percussion and Austin's voice goes up into the clouds.
So listen to their non-country like boys to men cover. or American pie or the one that will have you laughing the Butts medley.
I SUBBED FOR HOME FREE😍
❤❤❤❤❤
jews harp is the instrument you are hearing and the beginning and the ending of the song
It's a Jewish Harp or Mouth Harp...
Try Blue ain't your colour
Well, my positive attitude is to agree with you... I don’t like country music, either. A particular pet peeve of mine (you see this on a lot of singing competition shows) is when their singing voice has an artificially country or twangy voice, which they don’t have when they speak. I feel like we’re getting this here. Are these guys really from log cabins in the hills of Kentucky or Tennessee? Do they drink moonshine? I don’t like it. I don’t think it’s even country as much as bluegrass. I dunno. I don’t like. Doesn’t Avi Kaplan do some work with them?!
Austin Brown, the tenor with the more obvious twang in the song, is from Georgia, and does have a natural twang to his accent, but he did emphasize it more for the style of this song. Avi sings with them in a cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire," also an excellent song for listeners new to Home Free, especially those with an existing Pentatonix appreciation.
jypsy2000 Well, I’m from and live in GA and I’ve never heard anyone with a twang like that here. Ring of Fire is a toughie for me because, even though it’s a Johnny Cash song, I grew up knowing Olivia Newton John singing it! Warps my brain! 🧠 I started listening to it the other day and I had to turn it off after just a few seconds. I’ll try a song again sometime, because I’d really like to see how Avi blends with them.
It occurs to me that some judge on a competition show chewed someone out about their exaggerated country accent and made them redo it and it sounded much better. Still had her country accent, but it didn’t sound exaggerated. Someone below suggested a song that I think I’ll listen to, and I promise to do it with an open mind!
The high tenor (Austin, started the song) is from Georgia, the deep bass (Tim) is from Texas, the baritone/bass (Chance, was doing the jaw harp beginning & End) is from Alabama, the tenor (Rob in glasses) and the beatboxer (Adam) are both from Minnesota.
Home Free is amazing. Check out Butts Remix, Helplessly Hoping, Mayday, just to name a few.
do home free all about that bass...... its a cover so your not as heavily into the genre of country and it is a showcase of their talents
