Home Free is the best addiction ever! They have a song/video for any mood, anytime. Ever! They're like a huge comfort meal with a grandma's blanket wrapped nap afterwards. They fix any mood. 🤪🥰🥰🥰
Home Free will never fail you! From tears of laughter, (Buts mix) to tears of sorrow (Brothers in Arms) with heart warming, heart rending, chills, or throat lumps, they give it all, time and time again.
Your reactions are a pleasure to watch :-) These guys did "Children go where I send thee" with Kenny rogers and "Bye bye miss American Pie" with Don McLean. They also wrote their own patriotic song "Land of the free" Their list of wonderful songs is huge. I have not heard one song from these guys that I did not love.
Diana, have you been hit with the Home Free Curse yet? They take a song you absolutely cannot stand and make you like it against your will. I've been hit four times now. Damn.
@@GaiaOne Oh yes 🙂 Wonderful how they can do that. Just love these guys. I went to see them live in October... Incredible how good they sound live, and they are so funny too.
Greetings from a danish fry /new sub Home Free are a very patriotic group of guys , but as you´ll discover the Home Fries are a GLOBAL NATION and we´re a loyal bunch who love our guys and the reactors who love them . I have a request for an original HF song [ i know you´ll love it ] please check out -- Land Of the Free
Yea! Lee and the ORB's still got it! Adam's beat boxing is impeccable. So easy to forget its not real drums in the song. That last bit in God Bless the USA where he kicks it up a notch with the "snare drum" gets me in the feels every time. With the holidays approaching, you should give a listen to their renditions of "O Holy Night" and "Do You Here What I Here". Adam did the arrangement on it and its my favorite version of this holiday classic.
Adam Rupp was so amazing on this video from his full drum kit to the sound of jets flying over at the end, he definitely nailed it. Would like to see you react to Land of the Free. It's fantastic. Thanks ✌❤🥰
Never apologize for feeling proud to be American. Can't wait to go on the rest of this journey with you. And yes they also did Children Go Where I Send Thee with Kenny Rogers!!! Hahahaha I loved the reaction to Elvira.
Austin had that t-shirt the Oaks signed framed & he's got it hanging at home! 😉 I was just listening today to a radio broadcast of Home Free at the Grand Ol' Opry. During their performance, the Oakridge Boys came out and surprised the audience. They sang "Elvira" together, of course! The audience went bonkers. lol 😁🎶💕👍 Did you catch Adam doing the Air Force flyover at the end of "God Bless the USA"? The military snares and the flyover were great! Since you're new to our guys, you wouldn't catch on, so I'll give you a trivia tidbit that'll show how seriously Home Free is about arrangements & putting in those little things that really make a song and/or video special. Attention to detail! In the 1st song, when they start singing the part "From the lakes of Minnesota", Rob sang it because he's from Minn! The blonde woman sang "to the hills of Tennessee" - you guessed it, she's a friend of Tim's from TN. "Across the plains of Texas" is where Tim hails from... Chance followed with "from sea to shining sea". He was born & raised in Florida & Alabama, but now lives in L.A., California. Pretty cool, huh? 😍👍 Dang it, I love these guys! 💕🎶💕
by the way, WELCOME to the family fellow Home Fry. Some more suggestions : (covers) another collab....American Pie with Don McLean who wrote and sang the 1971 iconic classic (the song of my generation), as you saw The Gambler (as a tribute to their friend & mentor) the late Kenny Rogers...and their collab with Kenny which is a Christmas time song (we even sang in church) Children, go where I send thee), and another Christmas one, a 2nd collab with the Oak Ridge Boys, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, which The Judds had a hot with and last but not least.....Christmas in Dixie with Alabama, yes THAT Alabama !!!
Absolutely loved your reaction to these 2 great songs. Yes you got the best version they done of GOD BLESS THE USA. This song was recorded during Quarantine and everyone record their parts at all the different cities shown at the beginning of the video and edited together in the video you seen. Home Free did another collaboration with The Oak Ridge Boys called BEAUTIFUL STAR OF BETHLEHEM. Some suggestions; Cover of Vince Gill’s - GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN, 50th anniversity cover of Doobie Brothers - LISTEN TO THE MUSIC, cover of John Denver’s - COUNTRY ROADS. Thank you for your service and you have a blessed day.
Home Free also did a Christmas special and collaboration with the Oaks two years ago called Star of Bethlehem also with Jeffery East, a song writer that Home Free has performed with in the past. The two groups really are magic together.
Their harmonies are great, the beatboxer Adam is called "The Human Drumkit" for a reason, The bass Tim can go lower than low, they each can sing lead in a song. They are just so good! I guess you've already been requested to do "Man Of Constant Sorrow" from someone, 2 or 4, if not- I'm requesting.
This is a great collaboration between Home Free & The Oakridge Boys. "Elvira" was a huge hit for The Oakridge Boys in 1981. You can see the great respect these 2 groups have for each other. The Oakridge Boys are mentors to Home Free & it is like they are passing the baton to a younger version of themselves. They have performed together on the Grand Ole Opry. Adam Rupp's vocal percussion is the best in the business. He can simulate drums & any other sounds perfectly. Home Free is my favorite a cappella group. They are so talented yet very humble guys
I've seen it written elsewhere that Lee Greenwood felt the freedom to embellish the well-known melody a bit because he had HF there to keep the basics of the song intact.
A Home Free double feature is always a great thing 🥰🥰 they are very patriotic but don't assume that they're on a side they love their country and EVERYONE in it. 2 of my favorite Home Free collaborations 🥰🥰🥰🥰 loving your Home Free reactions ❤️❤️❤️❤️🏠🍟
The live versions of this are fun too because Tim messes with the crowd a little. Only problem with the live versions is you are dealing with cell phone audio. Keep the HF reactions coming. When are loving them!
To see the funny side of this group, look for "The Butts Remix", "All About That Bass", and a collaboration with yet another Acapella group, Voiceplay "Zombies vs. Hillbillies - Survivor". For a current day video about unity, look for "Everybody Walking This Land". From the first down beat, you will be amazed. I love to see you enjoy them as much as we do and look forward to seeing more.
The first video was actually shot during Covid, that's why they're all in different places recording, but Lee Greenwood & Home Free thought it was very important to help keep America moving forward during that crazy period time. It came out right around the Fourth of July. Another thing you'll find out about our guy's from Home Free, they're so proud to be American's, they love to sing about it, & have even performed at concerts to aid at risk veterans, another reason to be a Home Fry. The Oakridge Boys & Home Free are good friends, they definitely have mutual respect for each other, in fact HF refers to them as the Oaks. I definitely recommend checking out all the collabs that other Home Fries have suggested above. Thank You for your great reaction, I just subbed so I can go down the Home Free rabbit hole with you. Welcome to the Home Free Family!! ❤️🍟
Sorry I'm late! Love your beautiful, heartfelt reaction to God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood singing it like you've never heard him sing it before because Home Free's producer, Darren Rust, told him to sing it like he wanted to instead of how he'd had to sing it for decades! It makes my eyes "leak" every time I watch it! As for Elvira, these guys had a ball together! Both groups respect each other & Home Free is so good to let the other group or person shine when they do collaborations! I'm so glad you discovered Home Free & we Home Fries are a loyal bunch as long as the reactor is loyal to HF! 🤗&😘from SE Tennessee!🏡🍟😊
And…….can we give mad props to Lee Greenwood and his voice still wonderful after all these years, at 80 he can still sing! 😢❤. This rendition always make me tear up! It’s so beautiful,
Great reaction glad you enjoying Home Free please do more .The Oakridge Boys are mentors to Home Free there is a lot of respect between both groups it’s like the older generation passing the torch to the younger generation. The also did Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem with Jeffery East and the Oakridge Boys ,Children Go Where I Send Thee with Kenny Rodgers, American Pie with Don McLean , Go Tell It On The Mountain and Dreamer with Texas Hill , One Voice with Billy Gilman, Christmas In Dixie with Alabama . Everything Home Free does is great
I've smiled until my face hurts watching your reactions to Home Free. Wow! two Home Frees back-to-back, made my day!! Sooooo glad to have found your channel, won't be missing an episode. A few suggestions: "Children Go Where I Send Thee" with Kenny Rogers "Christmas in Dixie" with Alabama "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem" with Oak Ridge Boys "Full of Cheer" HF original for Christmas "Brothers in Arms" Dire Straits cover they made for Veterans Day "American Pie" with Don McLean. He contacted HF to record the 50th anniversary of his iconic song with him. "Helplessly Hoping" a Crosby, Stills and Nash cover. "Champagne Taste on s Beer Budget" HF original just for fun. Thank you for the joy, blessings always to you and all those you love.
They did "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" with the Oak Ridge Boys and "Christmas In Dixie" with Alabama. Perfect time of year to check those both out. (And if the live on stage seems a little odd initially, it's because it was filmed during lockdown so no live audience.) So glad you're enjoying them friend!
So you are saying you were a Home Fry before you knew what that was? LOL Great reaction!! They have done "God Bless The USA" before but this is their best. Their previous one (the video is still on their channel) is older and they filmed it at Mt. Rushmore. Still nice but this one was the better with the additional vocals to beef it up. As for Elvira, the Oak Ridge Boys sort of took them under their wing when Home Free first started to make bigger splashes in music. You should take a peek at a live version of Elvira from Home Free...Tim rattles bones in it with his bass notes! Since then, Home Free has decided to do the same for other performers so you will find they have done collabs with other new, up and coming artists to sort of get them out there just as the Oak Ridge Boys did for them. They have also done some amazing collabs with some legends like Kenny Rogers and Don McLain. But for your next one, I think you should see something with their funny side....and since it is Christmas, perhaps you should do "Full of Cheer" Not only is it a great Christmas song and shows their silly side, but it was written by Tim Foust, the bass singer. Or maybe "Cold Hard Cash (for Christmas) where Adam the beatboxer just goes off and is written by Austin Brown, the high tenor. As I have said before, their catalog is vast and there is not a bad one in the bunch so take your pick!
This is absolutely the right video! Done during quarantine. You'll notice the places from which they all recorded. And Elvira was done when Chris Rupp (cowboy hat) was still with them. He and his brother, Adam (beatboxer) founded HF. He left in 2016, and Adam Chance, called Chance to avoid confusion, entered the scene. Their Christmas stuff, old and new, is excellent, also.
I keep thinking of something else, guess that is what happens when you get old. Home Free performed the other week half time at Vikings-Cowboys game with the Singing Sergeants.
Loved it! Home Free is an amazing group that can be serious ( Brothers in Arms, Everybody Walking this Land, Helplessly Hoping) Goofy ( Between a Rock and a Heartache, Thank God I'm a country boy, All about that Bass, Working for a Living) , Moving ( Country Roads take Me home, How Great thou Art, in the Blood ) amazing Mashups ( Butts remix, Country Fried Pop, Women, Amen/Female) or Simply Great originals ( Land of the Free, Dive Bar Saints, Dreamer, Undivided, Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget) and has Had collaborations with Kenny Rogers ( Children go where I send thee) and the Oakridge Boys ( Elvira, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem) Some of their Christmas ones include Grandma got Run over by a Reindeer, Cold Hard Cash for Christmas, Mary did you know?, Snow Globe, oh Holy Night & What Christmas means to me, among others Subbing for more Home Free
I love this! What a wonderful collaboration with Lee Greenwood and The United States Air Force band. One by one such beautiful voices which match so well with the voices of Home Free. The fact that Lee Greenwood remains the center of attention I think shows a lot of respect for this great singer. But Adam Rupp tops it off with his incredible beatboxing/vocal percussion/vocal sounds. He is inhuman.❤️ And "Elvira" is the young version of The Oak Ridge boys and the old version of Home Free😉
This is the second time they recorded God Bless the USA. The first time was years ago in front of Mt. Rushmore. That was my first introduction to this fabulous group.
They also have a video when they went to Jeff Cook's (Alabama) recording studio. They have videos with Don McLean, Alabama, Oakridge Boys, Kenny Rogers and more. Traveling Soldier is another one that is really great. And you gotta do Sea Shanty Medley and for a laugh, Butts Remix.
Home Free does a lot of collaborations with the original artists. What I have noticed is that, possibly to Home Free's absolute excellence, the original artists just pull out all the stops. It is also my understanding, from listening to some of these collaborators, that the Home Free guys are just a blast to work with. I was in the US Navy, stationed aboard the USS Carl Vinson. I believe that my first Westpac cruise was in 1984, and we were gone for 8 months. I remember coming home, manning the rails in my dress whites, coming under the Golden Gate bridge with Le Greenwood and "God Bless the USA" Blasting out over the 1MC (Shipwide PA system). I will always remember how I felt at that moment.
Thank you so much for reacting to the two songs. The Home Free guys are amazing and really were excited about singing with both Lee Greenwood and the Singing Sergeants and the Oak Ridge Boys. They also did a song with Alabama...Christmas In Dixie...about 2 years ago...sad to say that Jeff Cook...of Alabama passed about 3 weeks ago. As suggested already...Children Go Where I Send Thee with Kenny Rogers is so good. If you do that one, hang in after the song to hear Kenny talk about finding Home Free. So much to see and hear. Thanks again.
What a great way to start off the day, with a double dose of Home Free!!!☺ Thank you so much! Loved your reactions to both songs ❤ Home Free has collabed with a number of well known artists. American Pie with Don McLean was, I think the most recent one, also done during the quarantine times but the video came out great, even though they were all in separate places. They were so good to the Home Fries and never faltered coming out with creative videos during this time ❤
SO glorious! Very cool how they got this done despite the pandemic! ❣️🎼🥰🎶♥️ Adam doing the flyover ✈️ sounds at the end always gives me an extra dose of goosebumps 🥰 This version of Elvira really gives me the sense of "Oak Ridge Boys Past" meeting "Home Free fellas future". The ORB' bass, Richard Sterban, sang bass for Elvis Presley early in his career. Home Free definitely collaborated with true country legends on this song--and I LOVE this collaboration❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
They did 2 songs with Kenny Rogers. Both amazing. Their American Pie with Don McClean is epic as well. Don't fret about a few tears. We all tear up for this one. Great reactions! Welcome to the rabbit hole! Elivra takes us back to when we were kids. Loved your realization you'd seen it!
If you look closely, Austin is wearing an Oak Ridge Boys shirt, and has all of them sign it. In some of Austin’s earlier solo videos, you can see the framed shirt hanging on the wall.
They have an original called "Land of the Free" that Tim (bass guy) wrote. And they also so "Tavelin' soldier." You should check those out! I just went to a concert, and they did Elvira live! It sounds exactly the same! And that bass hits you in the chest! It is amazing!
Good enthusiastic reactions! Since it's Christmas, may I suggest Do You Hear What I Hear (nothing else like it) and O Holy Night (5-part harmony ear-fest).
Another good song for Christmas is Home Free doing ( Children go where I send thee ) Featuring the late, great Kenny Rodger. You'll love it !!! LOVE HOME FRRE !!!!!!
They also covered this song without Lee. Give it a listen and check out Adam's drumming in it. So good. You have just barely scratched the surface with this group. They are amazing! Welcome home, Home Fry 😊
This one makes us all a bit "unsteady", the absolute BEST version of this song! Not sure why I haven't seen your reactions before, but I will from now on...new sub! ❤️
Loved your reactions to these great collaborations. On the same theme, Home Free covered American Pie WITH Don McLean at his request for a 50th anniversary release. Home Free are unmatched on their own and love opportunities to collaborate with artists they admire.
Thanks for sharing. We showed you the rabbit hole. You jumped right in your own self. Welcome. The guys of Home Free are patriotic and both caring and kind. They have songs dealing with bullying, they've highlighted animal adoption. so many more good things I can't even start to list. Not one of these people is stuck up, and they give a lot more than they take. They've also sung with Kenny Rogers and Alabama, to name two. For the most part, the "stars" ask them to perform. They often take new acts under their wings, touring or recording with them. And the kicker for me: they value their fans.
Your reaction was great! I enjoyed it much and I am now a subscriber to your channel. I just found your channel. Home Free takes care of their reactors. They know that you guys have helped them get noticed even more! If you want to see a list of all their songs just type in Home Free and you will hit the jackpot! They are a nice bunch of guys. Please keep more Home Free coming.
HF does a lot to help our veterans. They’ve written a cool song, Land of the Free. Check that one out, too. Enjoying your reactions to HF. Signed, new sub
I cry everything I hear it. They do another song with the Oakridge Boys l. It's a Christmas song called "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" and a Christmas song with Kenny Roger's calked "Children go Where I Send Thee"
Welcome to the Home Free family :). I only add when I see someone is eternally hooked to Home Free. Yes, check out all they do. They're awesome and I've never heard or seen a dud. Check out some of the guys solo content as well. Both Austin and Tim have their own work. Glad you joined us!
Lee sounds better here than his original. These were two of the videos I recommended. By the way, there is also a video on the making of God Bless America. Don't know if you noticed the flyover sound at the end. Retired and living on NAS Pensacola, home of the Blue Angels, we hear that sound regularly but much louder! Thank you and welcome Fry!
They also did "American Pie (The Day the Music Died)" with Don Mclean. Actually they have done a lot of collaborations with the people that have influenced them.
Yup, wow pretty much covers it. So much talent in those 2 videos. There's a video of HF and the Oak Ridge Boys doing Elvira at the Opry. Sorry I don't have the link. And I think there's a Christmas video, too. They also did The Devil Goes Down to Georgia with Charlie Daniels, but the video is audio only (if that makes any sense). Home Free party! All day, every day. Kind of jealous that you have so many things to see for the first time. Happy listening.
They’re so good. Home Free did the God Bless the USA by themselves at Mt. Rushmore and then they got together with Lee Greenwood and the USAF Singing Sergeants. It was during Covid but it was so good. And Elvira with the Oaks was so much fun. They do a song called Star of Bethlehem with the Oaks live which is really good. It was during Covid and there was no audience I don’t think but they were together. Home Free does Elvira a lot during concerts and Tim loves to interact with the audience and go real low. It’s really fun. I’ve seen them live and his voice goes through you. He has broken speakers before. So many good songs by these guys. Try Children Go Where I Tell Thee with Kenny Rogers. I subscribed.🥰
Like others already said, they did "American Pie" with Don McLean. And with the christmas season: "Children go where I send thee" with Kenny Rogers and "Christmas in Dixie" with Alabama
I have a feeling you would really appreciate what I consider their best cover, a Dire Straits song written from the perspective of a soldier dying on the field of battle during the Falklands War, called "Brothers in Arms." A powerful message.
Hello, my fellow Home Fry! Your reaction to this version of "God Bless the U.S.A." brought tears to my eyes, too. Near the end, did you notice Adam's incredible military drumming then his sound of a flyover? Loved your reaction to Tim dropping the bass in "Elvira"! Yes, please, do two (or more) videos per reaction. 😀 Chris and Adam Rupp are the founders of Home Free. Usually, Chris wears a cowboy hat or baseball cap; he left in 2016 to pursue other interests and has a TH-cam channel where he sometimes plays an older HF song and gives information about the experience. When Chris left, Adam Chance (the group usually refers to him as Chance since there is already an Adam) joined the group. Chance is the one in the plaid shirt in the "God Bless the U.S.A." video. Since it's Christmas time, please react to HF's videos of "Mary Did You Know?", "Full of Cheer", "Cold Hard Cash", "Do You Hear What I Hear?", "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer", and "What Christmas Means to Me"? Some of the videos are funny and silly, others are simple yet powerful, but their vocals are always 🔥🔥🔥! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole!
Just subscribed, these guys are beautiful souls, with pure talent. Looking forward to watching your journey. You'll be bombarded with suggestions; you can't miss, with any of them.
home free does an amazing version of go rest high on that mountain. My late husband was a veteran and I've never made it through without crying. they also do American pie with Don McLean and its amazing.
home frees version of "go rest high on that mountain" among many others
I prefer the 'church sessions' version if you want to concentrate on the music instead of the story. Both are excellent.
Home Free, Don McLain American Pie. Need I say more?
You definitely need to hear Beautiful Star of Bethlehem with the Oak Ridge Boys and Jeffrey East x
Home free is extremely patriotic. They have an album of mostly patriotic songs
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 The jet at the end of the song was awesome from Vietnam Vet. just never gets old
Welcome Ol’ Man to the Home Fry clan. It’s an addiction for which there is no rehab.
Thank you, yes it is and I don't want no rehab lol.
Home Free is the best addiction ever! They have a song/video for any mood, anytime. Ever! They're like a huge comfort meal with a grandma's blanket wrapped nap afterwards. They fix any mood. 🤪🥰🥰🥰
Home Free will never fail you! From tears of laughter, (Buts mix) to tears of sorrow (Brothers in Arms) with heart warming, heart rending, chills, or throat lumps, they give it all, time and time again.

They also wrote their own patriotic song "Land of the free" Their list of wonderful songs is huge. I have not heard one song from these guys that I did not love.
Thank you, I will check them out.
Diana, have you been hit with the Home Free Curse yet? They take a song you absolutely cannot stand and make you like it against your will. I've been hit four times now. Damn.
@@GaiaOne Oh yes 🙂 Wonderful how they can do that. Just love these guys. I went to see them live in October... Incredible how good they sound live, and they are so funny too.
It is incredible how A capella can even improve a classic song like God Bless America. Even Lee took liberties with his A capella performance.
Greetings from a danish fry /new sub Home Free are a very patriotic group of guys , but as you´ll discover the Home Fries are a GLOBAL NATION and we´re a loyal bunch who love our guys and the reactors who love them . I have a request for an original HF song [ i know you´ll love it ] please check out -- Land Of the Free
Thank you so much, cant wait to get into more of their music.
Love that song too!
Yea! Lee and the ORB's still got it! Adam's beat boxing is impeccable. So easy to forget its not real drums in the song.

Land Of The Free was written by Tim and it is a fantastic video and song of course...
You have to check out their song with Mr. Kenny Rogers, children go where i send thee. It is amaizing.
That song still gives me hope for this country......
Never apologize for feeling proud to be American. Can't wait to go on the rest of this journey with you. And yes they also did Children Go Where I Send Thee with Kenny Rogers!!! Hahahaha I loved the reaction to Elvira.
I cant wait either, gonna be awesome
Austin had that t-shirt the Oaks signed framed & he's got it hanging at home! 😉 I was just listening today to a radio broadcast of Home Free at the Grand Ol' Opry.

Did you catch Adam doing the Air Force flyover at the end of "God Bless the USA"? The military snares and the flyover were great!
Since you're new to our guys, you wouldn't catch on, so I'll give you a trivia tidbit that'll show how seriously Home Free is about arrangements & putting in those little things that really make a song and/or video special. Attention to detail!
In the 1st song, when they start singing the part "From the lakes of Minnesota", Rob sang it because he's from Minn! The blonde woman sang "to the hills of Tennessee" - you guessed it, she's a friend of Tim's from TN. "Across the plains of Texas" is where Tim hails from... Chance followed with "from sea to shining sea". He was born & raised in Florida & Alabama, but now lives in L.A., California. Pretty cool, huh? 😍👍
Dang it, I love these guys! 💕🎶💕
OMG! for real? that's awesome! Keep that for ever.
The boys call the Oak Ridge Boys their older "dirty Uncles". 🤣🍟 Thanks - this rabbit hole is going to be fun!!
Official a Home Fry now!! Congratulations because we all are! 😊
Woot Woot!!! lol
Now you really need to check out Home Free with The Oak Ridge Boys--Beautiful Star of Bethlehem
I second that x
by the way, WELCOME to the family fellow Home Fry. Some more suggestions : (covers) another collab....American Pie with Don McLean who wrote and sang the 1971 iconic classic (the song of my generation), as you saw The Gambler (as a tribute to their friend & mentor) the late Kenny Rogers...and their collab with Kenny which is a Christmas time song (we even sang in church) Children, go where I send thee), and another Christmas one, a 2nd collab with the Oak Ridge Boys, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, which The Judds had a hot with and last but not least.....Christmas in Dixie with Alabama, yes THAT Alabama !!!
Thank you, so glad to be here.
That very last chorus of God Bless the USA always gets to me. Everyone belting out and gleaming with pride never fails to bring a tear to my eyes.
Yes, these guys sound so good.
Absolutely loved your reaction to these 2 great songs. Yes you got the best version they done of GOD BLESS THE USA.

Excellent choices
Been a Home Fry for over a year. These guys are so flipping amazing. They can't do a bad song. If you haven't check out Brother.
Home Free also did a Christmas special and collaboration with the Oaks two years ago called Star of Bethlehem also with Jeffery East, a song writer that Home Free has performed with in the past. The two groups really are magic together.

We homefries love our home free
This is a great collaboration between Home Free & The Oakridge Boys. "Elvira" was a huge hit for The Oakridge Boys in 1981. You can see the great respect these 2 groups have for each other. The Oakridge Boys are mentors to Home Free & it is like they are passing the baton to a younger version of themselves. They have performed together on the Grand Ole Opry.

I've seen it written elsewhere that Lee Greenwood felt the freedom to embellish the well-known melody a bit because he had HF there to keep the basics of the song intact.
They do a song with kenny rogers “children go ehere i send thee”. And they also do “american pie” with don mclean
A Home Free double feature is always a great thing 🥰🥰 they are very patriotic but don't assume that they're on a side they love their country and EVERYONE in it. 2 of my favorite Home Free collaborations 🥰🥰🥰🥰 loving your Home Free reactions ❤️❤️❤️❤️🏠🍟

Keep the HF reactions coming. When are loving them!
To see the funny side of this group, look for "The Butts Remix", "All About That Bass", and a collaboration with yet another Acapella group, Voiceplay "Zombies vs. Hillbillies - Survivor". For a current day video about unity, look for "Everybody Walking This Land". From the first down beat, you will be amazed. I love to see you enjoy them as much as we do and look forward to seeing more.
I have had several suggest that one lol, I must check it out.
"How great thou art" will move your soul
HF has made many of us emotional. Wait till you start laughing, then you'll be wiping your eyes again.
Helpless Hoping will give you chills and The Butts Remix will crack you up! Welcome to the Home Free Rabbit Hole.

YES!!!! Lee is still beast lol, thank you for the comment.
Great reaction glad you enjoying Home Free please do more .The Oakridge Boys are mentors to Home Free there is a lot of respect between both groups it’s like the older generation passing the torch to the younger generation. The also did Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem with Jeffery East and the Oakridge Boys ,Children Go Where I Send Thee with Kenny Rodgers, American Pie with Don McLean , Go Tell It On The Mountain and Dreamer with Texas Hill , One Voice with Billy Gilman, Christmas In Dixie with Alabama . Everything Home Free does is great
More coming for sure. Thank you.
I've smiled until my face hurts watching your reactions to Home Free. Wow! two Home Frees back-to-back, made my day!! Sooooo glad to have found your channel, won't be missing an episode. A few suggestions:
"Children Go Where I Send Thee" with Kenny Rogers
"Christmas in Dixie" with Alabama
"Oh Little Town of Bethlehem" with Oak Ridge Boys
"Full of Cheer" HF original for Christmas
"Brothers in Arms" Dire Straits cover they made for Veterans Day
"American Pie" with Don McLean. He contacted HF to record the 50th anniversary of his iconic song with him.
"Helplessly Hoping" a Crosby, Stills and Nash cover.
"Champagne Taste on s Beer Budget" HF original just for fun.
Thank you for the joy, blessings always to you and all those you love.
LMAO! hey i was loving every second of those videos, I promise at some point I will be watching them all lol. Thank you.
They did "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" with the Oak Ridge Boys and "Christmas In Dixie" with Alabama. Perfect time of year to check those both out. (And if the live on stage seems a little odd initially, it's because it was filmed during lockdown so no live audience.) So glad you're enjoying them friend!
Those are both so beautiful!
So you are saying you were a Home Fry before you knew what that was? LOL Great reaction!! They have done "God Bless The USA" before but this is their best. Their previous one (the video is still on their channel) is older and they filmed it at Mt. Rushmore. Still nice but this one was the better with the additional vocals to beef it up. As for Elvira, the Oak Ridge Boys sort of took them under their wing when Home Free first started to make bigger splashes in music. You should take a peek at a live version of Elvira from Home Free...Tim rattles bones in it with his bass notes! Since then, Home Free has decided to do the same for other performers so you will find they have done collabs with other new, up and coming artists to sort of get them out there just as the Oak Ridge Boys did for them. They have also done some amazing collabs with some legends like Kenny Rogers and Don McLain. But for your next one, I think you should see something with their funny side....and since it is Christmas, perhaps you should do "Full of Cheer" Not only is it a great Christmas song and shows their silly side, but it was written by Tim Foust, the bass singer. Or maybe "Cold Hard Cash (for Christmas) where Adam the beatboxer just goes off and is written by Austin Brown, the high tenor. As I have said before, their catalog is vast and there is not a bad one in the bunch so take your pick!
If he does full of cheer, he should really do Champagne Taste first!
Two great songs by these guys from two different periods of the band pre and post Chance.
If you want to listen to Home Free perfection, check out their cover of "Helplessly Hoping"
This is absolutely the right video! Done during quarantine. You'll notice the places from which they all recorded.
And Elvira was done when Chris Rupp (cowboy hat) was still with them. He and his brother, Adam (beatboxer) founded HF. He left in 2016, and Adam Chance, called Chance to avoid confusion, entered the scene. Their Christmas stuff, old and new, is excellent, also.
I keep thinking of something else, guess that is what happens when you get old. Home Free performed the other week half time at Vikings-Cowboys game with the Singing Sergeants.
Wonderful reaction! The Home Free gentlemen are very patriotic, please check out their original song Land of the Free, it’s amazing!
Loved it! Home Free is an amazing group that can be serious ( Brothers in Arms, Everybody Walking this Land, Helplessly Hoping) Goofy ( Between a Rock and a Heartache, Thank God I'm a country boy, All about that Bass, Working for a Living) , Moving ( Country Roads take Me home, How Great thou Art, in the Blood ) amazing Mashups ( Butts remix, Country Fried Pop, Women, Amen/Female) or Simply Great originals ( Land of the Free, Dive Bar Saints, Dreamer, Undivided, Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget) and has Had collaborations with Kenny Rogers ( Children go where I send thee) and the Oakridge Boys ( Elvira, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem)
Some of their Christmas ones include Grandma got Run over by a Reindeer, Cold Hard Cash for Christmas, Mary did you know?, Snow Globe, oh Holy Night & What Christmas means to me, among others
Subbing for more Home Free
I love this!
What a wonderful collaboration with Lee Greenwood and The United States Air Force band. One by one such beautiful voices which match so well with the voices of Home Free. The fact that Lee Greenwood remains the center of attention I think shows a lot of respect for this great singer. But Adam Rupp tops it off with his incredible beatboxing/vocal percussion/vocal sounds. He is inhuman.❤️
And "Elvira" is the young version of The Oak Ridge boys and the old version of Home Free😉
Thanks for reacting to this. It's such a stirring song. Glad you're rewinding a bit when you pause too. It really helps keep things feeling smoother.
Austan Brown the high tenor once said that the Oke ridge boys are like their dirty uncles and I really can see the similarities in these groups.
The gambler is a good one! Also being the holiday season they have some Christmas songs that are well worth checking out!
This is the second time they recorded God Bless the USA. The first time was years ago in front of Mt. Rushmore. That was my first introduction to this fabulous group.
They also have a video when they went to Jeff Cook's (Alabama) recording studio. They have videos with Don McLean, Alabama, Oakridge Boys, Kenny Rogers and more. Traveling Soldier is another one that is really great. And you gotta do Sea Shanty Medley and for a laugh, Butts Remix.
Home Free does a lot of collaborations with the original artists. What I have noticed is that, possibly to Home Free's absolute excellence, the original artists just pull out all the stops. It is also my understanding, from listening to some of these collaborators, that the Home Free guys are just a blast to work with.
I was in the US Navy, stationed aboard the USS Carl Vinson. I believe that my first Westpac cruise was in 1984, and we were gone for 8 months. I remember coming home, manning the rails in my dress whites, coming under the Golden Gate bridge with Le Greenwood and "God Bless the USA" Blasting out over the 1MC (Shipwide PA system). I will always remember how I felt at that moment.
Such good renditions! I get to see Home Free on Dec 30th in Dallas. I’m so excited! God Bless the USA always makes me cry.
Thank you so much for reacting to the two songs. The Home Free guys are amazing and really were excited about singing with both Lee Greenwood and the Singing Sergeants and the Oak Ridge Boys. They also did a song with Alabama...Christmas In Dixie...about 2 years ago...sad to say that Jeff Cook...of Alabama passed about 3 weeks ago. As suggested already...Children Go Where I Send Thee with Kenny Rogers is so good. If you do that one, hang in after the song to hear Kenny talk about finding Home Free. So much to see and hear. Thanks again.
They're simply the best ... 'nuf said ! You're going to enjoy the Home Free ride !
What a great way to start off the day, with a double dose of Home Free!!!☺ Thank you so much! Loved your reactions to both songs ❤ Home Free has collabed with a number of well known artists. American Pie with Don McLean was, I think the most recent one, also done during the quarantine times but the video came out great, even though they were all in separate places. They were so good to the Home Fries and never faltered coming out with creative videos during this time ❤
Thank you, yes there are so many more I will be watching.
SO glorious! Very cool how they got this done despite the pandemic! ❣️🎼🥰🎶♥️
Adam doing the flyover ✈️ sounds at the end always gives me an extra dose of goosebumps 🥰
This version of Elvira really gives me the sense of "Oak Ridge Boys Past" meeting "Home Free fellas future".
The ORB' bass, Richard Sterban, sang bass for Elvis Presley early in his career. Home Free definitely collaborated with true country legends on this song--and I LOVE this collaboration❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
They did 2 songs with Kenny Rogers. Both amazing. Their American Pie with Don McClean is epic as well. Don't fret about a few tears. We all tear up for this one. Great reactions! Welcome to the rabbit hole!
Elivra takes us back to when we were kids. Loved your realization you'd seen it!
I heard and I have to hear those. MUST! lol.
If you look closely, Austin is wearing an Oak Ridge Boys shirt, and has all of them sign it. In some of Austin’s earlier solo videos, you can see the framed shirt hanging on the wall.
They have an original called "Land of the Free" that Tim (bass guy) wrote. And they also so "Tavelin' soldier." You should check those out! I just went to a concert, and they did Elvira live! It sounds exactly the same! And that bass hits you in the chest! It is amazing!
Good enthusiastic reactions! Since it's Christmas, may I suggest Do You Hear What I Hear (nothing else like it) and O Holy Night (5-part harmony ear-fest).
Thank you for the comment, yes, I was thinking the same thing for Christmas, probably several.
Another good song for Christmas is Home Free doing ( Children go where I send thee ) Featuring the late, great Kenny Rodger. You'll love it !!! LOVE HOME FRRE !!!!!!
They also covered this song without Lee. Give it a listen and check out Adam's drumming in it. So good. You have just barely scratched the surface with this group. They are amazing! Welcome home, Home Fry 😊
This one makes us all a bit "unsteady", the absolute BEST version of this song! Not sure why I haven't seen your reactions before, but I will from now on...new sub! ❤️
Loved your reactions to these great collaborations. On the same theme, Home Free covered American Pie WITH Don McLean at his request for a 50th anniversary release. Home Free are unmatched on their own and love opportunities to collaborate with artists they admire.
You should listen to them team up with Don McLean to sing American Pie. Another awesome collaboration.
My favorite homefree song and made me a homefry and fall in love with there music is Mayday ❤
Ill have to check that one out. thank you.
Thanks for sharing. We showed you the rabbit hole. You jumped right in your own self. Welcome. The guys of Home Free are patriotic and both caring and kind. They have songs dealing with bullying, they've highlighted animal adoption. so many more good things I can't even start to list. Not one of these people is stuck up, and they give a lot more than they take. They've also sung with Kenny Rogers and Alabama, to name two. For the most part, the "stars" ask them to perform. They often take new acts under their wings, touring or recording with them. And the kicker for me: they value their fans.
That's so amazing, these guys are awesome and thank you for your comment!!!
Your reaction was great! I enjoyed it much and I am now a subscriber to your channel. I just found your channel. Home Free takes care of their reactors. They know that you guys have helped them get noticed even more! If you want to see a list of all their songs just type in Home Free and you will hit the jackpot! They are a nice bunch of guys. Please keep more Home Free coming.
Thank you so much.
HF does a lot to help our veterans. They’ve written a cool song, Land of the Free. Check that one out, too. Enjoying your reactions to HF. Signed, new sub
I cry everything I hear it. They do another song with the Oakridge Boys l. It's a Christmas song called "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" and a Christmas song with Kenny Roger's calked "Children go Where I Send Thee"
Welcome to the Home Free family :). I only add when I see someone is eternally hooked to Home Free. Yes, check out all they do. They're awesome and I've never heard or seen a dud. Check out some of the guys solo content as well. Both Austin and Tim have their own work. Glad you joined us!
Lee sounds better here than his original. These were two of the videos I recommended. By the way, there is also a video on the making of God Bless America. Don't know if you noticed the flyover sound at the end. Retired and living on NAS Pensacola, home of the Blue Angels, we hear that sound regularly but much louder! Thank you and welcome Fry!
They also did "American Pie (The Day the Music Died)" with Don Mclean.
Actually they have done a lot of collaborations with the people that have influenced them.
Looking forward to to watching your Home Free journey! So many fun songs to enjoy!
Most patriotic band around!! Home Free and Home Fry forever!! Subbed for more HF!!
Thank you.
Yup, wow pretty much covers it. So much talent in those 2 videos. There's a video of HF and the Oak Ridge Boys doing Elvira at the Opry. Sorry I don't have the link. And I think there's a Christmas video, too. They also did The Devil Goes Down to Georgia with Charlie Daniels, but the video is audio only (if that makes any sense). Home Free party! All day, every day. Kind of jealous that you have so many things to see for the first time. Happy listening.
They also do Beautiful Star of Bethlehem with the Oak Ridge Boys and Jeffrey East well worth a listen especially coming up to Christmas.
I'd like to thank you sir, for your service. I'm so very happy that you've decided to venture down the rabbit hole. You won't be disappointed!!
Welcome to the rabbit hole of Home Free. They are addicting.
I never have dry eyes after listening to this song!
You might enjoy Home Free's version of My Country tis of Thee.
What a wonderful and genuine reaction. I feel the same way every single time. Nice Job.
Amazing reactions, thank you so much, can’t wait for the next one! 🤗❤️
Thank you, I'm excited to, soon!
They’re so good. Home Free did the God Bless the USA by themselves at Mt. Rushmore and then they got together with Lee Greenwood and the USAF Singing Sergeants. It was during Covid but it was so good. And Elvira with the Oaks was so much fun. They do a song called Star of Bethlehem with the Oaks live which is really good. It was during Covid and there was no audience I don’t think but they were together. Home Free does Elvira a lot during concerts and Tim loves to interact with the audience and go real low. It’s really fun. I’ve seen them live and his voice goes through you. He has broken speakers before. So many good songs by these guys. Try Children Go Where I Tell Thee with Kenny Rogers. I subscribed.🥰
Like others already said, they did "American Pie" with Don McLean. And with the christmas season: "Children go where I send thee" with Kenny Rogers and "Christmas in Dixie" with Alabama
Tim, Austin, Chance, Rob, and Adam!!
I have a feeling you would really appreciate what I consider their best cover, a Dire Straits song written from the perspective of a soldier dying on the field of battle during the Falklands War, called "Brothers in Arms." A powerful message.
Consider it done! Your comment has been snipped for the video. thank you!
How can I give a stronger “THUMBS UP” …. Great reaction!
Thank you so much!!!!!
New sub here for more Home Free! Loved that you did 2 at once! You're going to love all their songs.
LOL thank you, I had to do two, couldn't get enough lol.
They also did a collab with Don McLean on American Pie you have to watch that one!
My tears won't leave me alone either. I'm a long time vet and patriotic to the core.
Thank you for the comment Wade!
Hello, my fellow Home Fry! Your reaction to this version of "God Bless the U.S.A." brought tears to my eyes, too. Near the end, did you notice Adam's incredible military drumming then his sound of a flyover?
Loved your reaction to Tim dropping the bass in "Elvira"! Yes, please, do two (or more) videos per reaction. 😀
Chris and Adam Rupp are the founders of Home Free. Usually, Chris wears a cowboy hat or baseball cap; he left in 2016 to pursue other interests and has a TH-cam channel where he sometimes plays an older HF song and gives information about the experience. When Chris left, Adam Chance (the group usually refers to him as Chance since there is already an Adam) joined the group. Chance is the one in the plaid shirt in the "God Bless the U.S.A." video.
Since it's Christmas time, please react to HF's videos of "Mary Did You Know?", "Full of Cheer", "Cold Hard Cash", "Do You Hear What I Hear?", "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer", and "What Christmas Means to Me"? Some of the videos are funny and silly, others are simple yet powerful, but their vocals are always 🔥🔥🔥!
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole!
Thank you, I enjoyed this video so much and cant wait for the rest lol. thank you so much for your comment!!!
Just subscribed, these guys are beautiful souls, with pure talent. Looking forward to watching your journey. You'll be bombarded with suggestions; you can't miss, with any of them.
Thank you. LOL yes I have but I will get to them all no doubt. Love this group!
home free does an amazing version of go rest high on that mountain. My late husband was a veteran and I've never made it through without crying. they also do American pie with Don McLean and its amazing.
AWWW!! I'm so sorry for your loss and I thank you so much for your comment. Please, keep up the good fight Ma'am, we got your back!!
@@daolman8226 thank you very much! Keep up with your great videos.
You need to check out Land Of The Free. Its a original written by the bass singer Tim.
They sang this the first time in front of Mt. Rushmore, Yes another fry delight! >>>
