"Did I just hear the beatboxer play a harmonica without a harmonica?" Me "Yes. Yes you did."
Aren't you a little young to be a harmonicaless harmonica vocalist? Yes. Yes I am... Total awesomeness right there my friend
The best harmonicaless harmonica to ever harmonica!!!
You sure did
My mother used to do that when I was little, and to this day I still can't. Lol
I like the juice harpless juice harp just as much.
Best metaphor ever. "King size candy bars and we are only at the first house." and then you follow it up with what each candy bar was. LOVE IT.
lol, I'm so weird 🤓
OMG I'm going to smile about this for days.
@@jessicasopranonotes Weird is good!
@@jessicasopranonotes Weird? I think you spelt articulate wrong. For giving such an abstract reference to something like singing, I INSTANTLY understood what you meant. Your genuine reaction to this and your breakdown with your professional background was refreshing from other reviewers, and I loved every second of it. First time viewer of the channel, and I couldn’t hit subscribe fast enough. Keep up the amazing work! Love from Atlanta! -Ty
@@jessicasopranonotes Excuse me, ma'am, but is there any way you could react to something by Shawn James? If you haven't listened to him, chances are you will enjoy it. "Through The Valley" is a good one, but his covers of Sinatra's "That's Life" and Macy Gray's "I Try" are incredible.
Every female voice expert I saw reacting to this song has a moment when Mr bass gets his verse hehehe
It's just soo good 😍
@@jessicasopranonotes awesome you have a sexy voice
I call it the swoon effect or the female orgasm scene
I make that face when listening to Adam Rupp’s vocal percussion. 🤯😁🔥
@@jessicasopranonotes Tim foust is a full king size snickers bar, dark rich and sticky
Tim is doing the bass, Chance is doing the jaws harp and overtone, Adam is the insane drums and harmonica,( all by mouth ) Austin is the first singer, and last but not least is Rob, the guy with beard and glasses.
Tim has a 5+ octave range, Chance has 4. Adam is affectionately known as the freak of nature.
Hope this helps !
Thank you for this breakdown.
5+ octaves is insane.
Home Free's cover of Ring of Fire features Tim, their bass and Avi Kaplan as guest extra bass singer. 2 basses - think you might like this!
To really get a dose of Tim's range in Ring Of Fire, you need to watch the Sing Off version.
Avi is great, but for me it kind of muddied the waters by having two basses. Just my opinion.
Tim Foust arranged Ring of Fire for 2 basses. Inviting Avi in as a featured collaboration raised Homefree's sales on that album after they had won the Sing-Off.
All of this!!!
Two two two basses in one
It's full of tricks but I think it just missed the emotional point of the song.
Dilana Robichaux got the point of it, I like hers better than Johnny's. Voice quality isn't the point but Dilana's blues rasp suits that song the best.
I've watched a ton of reaction videos this last year and this is the first time I felt compelled to compliment the presenter. Your honest, knowledgeable reaction is priceless and you don't go on for the dramatics or the deeply involved explanations, just the right touch. Thank you.
thank you!
@@jessicasopranonotes Jess ... do you know yet that one of them is Michael Jackson's nephew? If not get your research done gorgeous LOL He doesn't readily make it known evidently but I think he is good enough in his own right to not be worried about popularity impact one way or the other.
I agree. While I am not in the music industry, I have been playing instruments since I was a child, and this reaction video was both entertaining and informative! I learned something new. Yayyy. Welcome tater tot! Next stop...full fledged Home Fry status.
YOU HAVE A GOOD EAR AND ARE ONE OF THE BEST TO REACT WITH VERY ACCURATE INFORMATION. WON MY SUBSCRIPTION AND MY RESPECT WITHOUT RESERVATION! THANK YOU!
@@edintexas I don't think this is correct... not if you're talking about THE Michael Jackson... Austin Brown, the son of Rebbie Jackson (Michael's oldest sister) is a singer, but he's not in Home Free... Home Free's Austin Brown sings the lead on "When A Man Loves A Woman"... if you watch that video, you'll be able to see he is not related to Michael Jackson... same name, tho.
Not only are you VERY knowledgeable and skilled in music, you have a MUCH more rare ability! You are a NATURAL teacher! You explain it well well, as well as making it not only interesting AND fun. But worth closely listening to.
Amen!
What I found "inspiring" about your analysis was that clearly, though not your preferred genre of music; yet you were able to appreciate the skills and abilities of other artists and demonstrate genuine enthusiasm for their performance. Thank you for a very enlightening (and enjoyable) "reaction" video.
THE blue ain't your color cover has a verse for the guy who sings the overtones
If this is your first time listening to Home Free, you should also check out "Ring of Fire" and "Mayday". The more you watch Home Free the more you will see the incredible range each singer has. It's a pleasant surprise each time. :)
Dontbwatch Mayday before you get to know everyones voice
"Mayday" is one of their very best, but you can't get maximum enjoyment unless/until you know their voices. Save it for later. Fortunately, there are PLENTY more excellent performances. "Ring of Fire" is my all-time favorite. As a bass-lover, you will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this performance because it features TWO of the best basses in the business - Tim Foust and Avi Kaplan. With 2 great basses, they can have a solid bass solo AND keep the bass line going at the same time!
I would listen to Tim a little more before listening to Mayday!!! Tim will blow your mind!!!
@@RAW2881 Agree
@@tommyward7471 The video where Tim actually blew a speaker is amusing too. Live show, sorry I don’t remember which or the TH-cam label. He wasn’t singing very loud - just VERY low. For a Bass lover- there’s several contest videos with three OUTSTANDING a cappella basses ... i think Tim has a E0 ...maybe a growl...but in tune and sustained.
“Do you realize how many king size candy bars we just got?” 😂😂😂😂 best reaction I’ve seen so far
hahaha!
Love hearing trained vocalists reacting to incredibly talented arrangements like these guys. So much insight
One piece of advice, DON'T watch Mayday until you get used to the members and what parts they sing. You'll appreciate it that much more! Helplessly Hoping is a good choice to best Chance sing more lead. The Butts Remix, Hillbilly Bone, and All About That Bass show their more comedic side. If you want to hear Tim drop the bottom out to subterranean levels, watch Misty Mountains with Peter Hollens! It's amazing! All in all there's not a bad song or video out there from Home Free!
Great advice! I'm adding that in my notes!
@@jessicasopranonotes Thank you for doing the Home Free reactions and Happy New Year! May you recieve an abundance of blessings!
@@jessicasopranonotes I'll agree with a lot of others. DO NOT check out Mayday until you know the group well. If you check out Mayday too soon, you will cheat yourself out of an experience.
@@chrismorin1318 Chris that was so sweet, thank you! And I hope the same for you and your loved ones!
@@jessicasopranonotes Thank you!
Definitely listen to them take on R&B with their cover of "End of the Road" by Boyz II Men. It'll blow your mind.
That’s my favorite song by Boys to Men 😱
@@jessicasopranonotes you will here Rob (bearded tenor) put some strategic grit in his tone during that cover.
I think its better than the original
@@jessicasopranonotes Home Free brought tears to my eyes with their version, but I love B2M's original. As my brother used to say in the 90's, it's "baby-making music." 😆
@@jessicasopranonotes I second this suggestion miss. Their homage to End of the Road is cest magnifique !
The "Overtone" singer you were mentioning is Adam Chance. He does bass duty when Tim Foust (Baso Profundo) is singing.
If you want a whole song of Adam Chance, try Some Girls do.
As many have mentioned Ring of Fire is a must and I think Hillbilly Bone is also a truly fun show off piece.
I love that you’re the first reviewer to point out Tim’s octave leaps (out of dozens of reactors who have covered this video)
Oh really! They were SO good! I feel like there's so much more to talk about. But it's hard to get everything with acapella groups because so much is happening!
What a joy to watch a very knowledgeable young woman teach us so many things that we wouldn`t have caught, because we don`t know music the way you do. Thank you, Jess. May God bless you and your work. I hope you are able to do this for many years. From Northern Japan (almost an octogenarian ).
Thank you for your comment. I have heard such beautiful stories from people who lived in Japan or visited and hope to visit someday. Many blessings, Stephen.
You really need to listen to their cover of "Helplessly Hoping" to hear more of Chance (the overtone singer). He also sings a good deal in their cover of "Folsom Prison Blues." But honestly, you're going to find that there are well over a hundred music videos from Home Free and you'll find something amazing in pretty much all of them. By the way, they are Tim Foust (the bass), Adam Chance (baritone and the overtone singer), Adam Rupp (the beatboxer), Rob Lundquist (beard, glasses, buttery voice), and Austin Brown (high tenor).
So helpful, thank you!
@@jessicasopranonotes Or listen to their cover of "Yours"! Chance has the lead!
Need to agree, Folsom Prison is a good intro to the group as well
@@jessicasopranonotes Their cover of "Mayday" also has a solo by Chance (the overtone singing guy). That also has a boy-band kind of sound, which you may like.
I would recommend Mayday, but only after u get to know all the singers abit more first, they would surprise you.
Love the way you nerd out during these vids
Nerd away sweet Lady, nerd away. ;-)
It is really interesting to listen to someone who knows the vocabulary of vocal music describing what they are hearing. You are very effective at describing, and putting names to the vocal techniques, and that adds to the enjoyment of watching the performance.
Thank you Scott!
I love the way you're eyes rolled back in your head to the bass
It happens all the time! It's like a reflex haha
their 'End of the road' cover is great, so is 'Ring of fire' with Avi and 'Mayday' :)
Their cover of End of the Road is fantastic - Rob will blow you away.
In that order.
No to Mayday, until she has at least 10 HF songs under her belt lol
Do the Sing Off version of Ring of Fire, or better do both!
@@Qmocean Absofuckinglutely. No less than five Home Free videos before taking a listen to Mayday.
This was the first video where their beatboxer started experimenting with a looper. He never used one before this but they got one for him. Towards the end of the video there's a basic beat and Adam Rupp (beatboxer extraordinaire) is also doing some fancy stuff. That is because he recorded and looped the simpler stuff so he could do both.
Totally makes sense! I also read from another commenter that it tired his voice out. He's still amazing!
Adam Rupp has been using the looper/loop station for like ten years on his solo stuff. On his channel he has videos of it. I think the first time they used one on the stage with the whole band was with Castle On The Hill.
They use the looper only on one or two songs of the set.
I love the bit straight after Tim sings his quite deep solo then the view flips onto the rest of the band - and they sing and Tim sings the line again with them - but this time another whole octave lower - like OMG that is one deep voice. And the mouth organ - like how is that possible - these guys are all awesome!
I’ve watched several reactions to these guys doing this song. The best one was showing it to my g/f and I watched the look on her face when Tim started his part.
The Jew's Harp at the beginning and end as well as the harmonica without a harmonica as you put it are stand alone amazing. I also like bass singers and Tim really gets down there immediately following his solo which is really nice. The beat boxer draws me in a lot during this song, so it is difficult for me to put a finger on my favorite part. I think you might enjoy Peter Hollins singing "Misty Mountains" featuring Tim Foust from this video. It is a layered a cappella piece that I find wonderful in arrangement and performance. Tim's final note in that song can rattle building foundations LOL. Even if you don't do a video of that song, please just check it out for your own enjoyment, it's really good, interesting, complex and all the things music should be.
I will! Thank you 😊
@@jessicasopranonotes, per Peter Hollens comment on another reaction channel, "120 tracks on that song". Your ears will become addicted to the ear candy those two can generate.
Bridge Over Trouble Waters by the 2 of them is another one. They just blend so well together.
I notice a lot of people completely miss the drop after the solo because they're still getting over how low the solo is and Tim blends so well in the harmony.
JAW harp.
There are many names for it.
Hi, first front row from the left: Rob(tenor), Austin(tenor/hig tenor), Tim(basso profondo,and up to the 5th oct.) second row: Adam Chance(basso baritone and didgeridoo in this song) Adam Rup(beat-boxer ,tenor, harmonica and meny other sounds). Good reaction as usual.Stay safe
That didgeridoo sound is the sound of a juice harp (misheard as jew’s harp), an instrument played in the mouth while plucking it. It was called a juice harp because it produces a lot of spit. The didgeridoo is a wind instrument native to Australia and wouldn't be found in American Mountain Folk Music (Hillbilly Music). In any case, Adam is imitating its sound with his mouth without the instrument!
@@jeffstumpf9129 It seems like that instrument sure has a lot of names. The most popular is Jaw Harp as it is, unsurprisingly, played on the jaw
@@Kamarovsky_KCM And it's damned hard on the teeth.
@@Kamarovsky_KCM Yes and it was done by Chance. Love it.
What I find amazing about this group of musicians is, of course the multi faceted beat boxer, but the vocalists are all of solo capacity and each voice has a different texture that is distinct, but those same voices blend into full, rich harmonies that blend seamlessly into melted dark chocolate for the ear. They also do many different genres with success. Variety is their hallmark.
The rabbit hole of Homs Free is deep with many curves. They are so, so versatile and continue to surprise me with their breath and, of course the depth within their musical selections. I’m so happy I discovered your channel and look forward to more of your Home Free reactions. Note: several of their songs/videos display humor, fun and a carefree attitude. That includes goofiness. Enjoy.
Agree with commenter Jon, Home Free is very addictive.
They've got great covers of Ring Of Fire, Mayday, Some Girls Do, Honey, I'm Good, I got friends in low places, Moonshine & soooo many others
Of course there's also ones like Crazy Life (LEGO Video) that's visually fun
and the collabs they've done with Kenny Rogers, The Oak Ridge Boys & Peter Hollens
They do many types of music. They have fun songs, they have country songs and they have songs that I love for the harmony. I keep getting drawn back to the ones where I love the harmony: "auld ang syne" "helplessly hoping" "how great thou art"
9:12 the Tim low O face right on cue lol
Waiting for the next Home Free reaction, I hope it doesn't take much longer. Great reaction.
Adam Chance is the guy at the end. Listen to "I Can't outrun you" to get a good sense of his voice.
or cover me up
Or Some girls do
I am lovin' that stank face as Austin hits that first growl. Freaking hilarious! On with the rest of the song!
Edit: That reaction to Tim starting to drop was classic! Austin's upper range shines on their cover of "Elvira" with the original singers, The Oakridge Boys. If you really enjoy basses, you would love "Hard to Be Cool in a Minivan (Oakridge Boys)," "Battle Hymn of the Republic (William Lee and Chris Golden; and bass singer, Tim Duncan)," Home Free-"How Great Thou Art," "Im Tiefen Kellar (sorry, my German is a little rusty)"-Hans Rolf Rippert (aka Ivan Rebroff), anything done by the following: Tim Storms, Zlatopolsky, Vladimir Miller, Glen Miller (basso profundo and not the jazz man, obviously), Der Drei Basse, Tim Riley, Christian Davis, Matt Fouch, Jeff Chapman, JD Sumner, George Younce, Campbell Vertesi, the late Harold Reid, Martii Telvala, Samuel Ramey, and the list goes on. I am a bass 1/bass-baritone myself and enjoy listening to basses from most styles. Avi Kaplan does a great job with "Black is the Color" when he collaborated with Peter Hollens. Same with Tim Foust when he did "The Song of the Lonely Mountain" with Peter Hollens. Coincidentally, if memory serves me correctly, Tim Foust bottoms out at a B0. Could be mistaken though. Love this video...and you may have just found a new subscriber.
Great information, thanks a bunch Brandon! And you'll see me do stank faces all throughout my videos. I can't help it lol
Their version of "How Great Thou Art" and "Helplessly Hoping" are amazing, as is "Do You Hear What I Hear".
The beatboxing on "Do You Hear What I Hear " is outstanding. So is Tim's 5-octave run. 'Scuse me. I gotta go listen to that again.
You are the sexiest woman in the world, when you are enthralled with artistic perfection. The way you lush over every detail shows how truly committed you are to music. How you open up your inner aspirations about certain items tells me you are vulnerable to skill and God given talent. I really enjoyed watching you dissect this group as a master surgeon.
Their cover of O Holy Night and Do You Hear What I Hear are both completely phenomenal. The best covers of both songs I’ve ever heard. OH and their cover of How Great Thou Art is fantastic too!
I love how hard you nerd out over these videos lol
Ever since someone shared this cover on my facebook, I've been watching reaction videos to it. Mostly vocal coaches or other singers but DUUUUUUDE I'll you one thing they ALL have in common. Soon as Tim rolls in with his deep voice, the world drowns.
You know what I'm talking about. None of the youtubers even try to hide it either.
Priceless lol
I just found Home Free yesterday. Apparently I live under a rock. I know absolutely nothing about music other than how much I enjoy it. Your breakdown and explanation made this even better. I can “kind of” pick up on a lot more of the finer details I would normally miss as an untrained ear and that makes it even more impressive and enjoyable! Thank you. 😄
Never listened to opera, but as beautiful as she is, I'll sure listen if she's singing
So sweet!
For the very best definition of voices, listen to their cover of "Helplessly Hoping "....haunting!
You need to listen to Disturbed - Sound of Silence, I believe you'd really enjoy it.
A metal band doing an amazing cover. I like it more than the original by far. His singing ability is awesome (and if you watch the live Conan one he had a cold and still nailed it).
The candy descriptions... 🤣🤣🤣 I love it!!
"Did he just play, a harmonica... without a harmonic?!?!" I knew that would be a fun part for you!
Great analysis Jess!!!
Adam Chance is the one doing the over tone part making the sound of a mouth harp and he is the baritone of the group. He is the featured singer in their cover of "Cover Me Up" and you really get to appreciate his voice as he does the entire song himself and the rest of the guys just sing background, harmonies and such. Plus there is a sweet message within the video about Chance and his significant other. ( NOTE: Adam Chance is just called Chance by the group since there are two Adams in the group.
The man that 'it was the whole time' is Adam Chance (yes, there are 2 Adams in the group, Adam Rupp the beatboxer and him, he goes by Chance to avoid confusion). Chance joined the group after Chris Rupp, one of the founders of the group left (amicably) to peruse a solo career. Chris Rupp actually helped pick his replacement, which is pretty cool. Chance is a baritone but can down to bass as well, something his predecessor couldn't do (Chris Rupp is a high baritone, almost a tenor). The new guy being able to sing bass freed up Tim to do some...other stuff that you'll see if you watch a song they covered called 'Mayday'.
i think Chance is a baritone-bass more than a baritone.
The first tenor is Austin Brown from Georgia. Second was Rob Lundquist from Minnesota. Bass Tim Foust is a fellow Texan. His joining started raising some eyebrows and the group started getting attention and seen as serious contenders after that.
Beat boxer Is Adam Rupp from Minnesota, often referred to as a freak of nature for the sounds he can make. He is also a beautiful tenor. He and his brother Chris Rupp are founding members until Chris left a few years ago. They recruited Rob first, then Tim, and were performing on a cruise ship when they found Austin. When Chris left they found Adam Chance, who can also drop the notes on the floor and kick them around, to replace him. Tim has 5 octaves. If you want to see him go high and Chance go low try Mayday. Fun fact, Tim blew out a subwoofer at a concert
Check out more Home Free. You will become a huge fan (called Home Fries). Love your first reaction. They don't do only country. They pass around the solo parts and even pass around the tenor and bass parts. So talented.
Adam Chance the baritone singer used to sing bass in his former group called 7th street sympnony...Austin Brown (the red headed high tenor) was a cruise ship entertainer prior to joining HomeFree..that may explain why he is such a good performer ..listen to any of their stuff it's a promise that you will enjoy them all
I would love for you to check out "Misty Mountains - Peter Hollens feat. Tim Foust". The arrangement is gorgeous and the bass really shines. You will love it!
Yes!!
Adam Rupp basically just swallows instruments and spits em out when they need em. Amazing, just purely amazing.
i think the 2nd singer has the smoothest vibrato.one of the best i've ever heard . and Tim in that last part , when he drops a whole octave . damn... ✌✌🌷🌷
"...and we were only at the first house!" Bahhhhh ahahaha hell yeah
Outstanding, they are exceptionally talented group, just outrageously great 👍 what a treat. 😊 Thank you all.
Isn't that opening "instrument" a Dobro? This song is so well done. The arrangement! Amazing stuff. There are no instruments! 🤯. And such fabulous vocals.
I thought I was the only one who took songs apart like this. I learned to do this listening to my parents records back in the 80's. I would listen to one note at least 50 times so that I may understand it. Great job! Thanks!
Love your technical reviews and your enthusiasm for the craft of singing... Also very fun watching you swoon over the bass singers... I believe the singer doing the overtone singing is Adam Chance, a Baritone, who also has a great low range and generally amazing voice. He's the one standing on the back left when they're in a group of 5.. I see you caught him at the end. Adam Rupp is their amazing beatboxer, who I think swallowed a harmonica at some point in his childhood. He's remarkable in is range and type of effects. He's well featured in Home Free's Folsom Prison Blues cover, and so is Adam Chance singing much more than overtone. They're all amazing. There's also some remarkable video of Adam Rupp doing a 'drum solo' at one of their live shows. It's mind-boggling. Keep up the great reviews. I'm mostly in for the acapella stuff, but count me as a new subscriber.
I’m still trippin over the harmonica! So good! Thanks for watching and subscribing 😊🤗
@@jessicasopranonotes you should look up their live version of that song. Adam Rupp (Beatboxer) and Austin Brown (Lead singer here) do a harmonica Duett ;)
You will love their other song, (Ring of Fire) that have over 37m views and is one of their best. I really enjoyed your reaction. I learn so much from your videos.
Cheers!
It is real He's one of the best Beatboxers in the Business..
I like watching professional music people reacting more than people who are not in the business. So much more information is imparted to us here watching your videos. Thanks for the in depth analysis.
Absolutely love this reaction video! Home free is so versatile in so many singing styles!
If you'd like to check out an all female acapella group, look up Citizen Queen. They were put together and produced by Scott from Pentatonix. Like many of the male groups you've reacted to, each have their own mega talent, and will take you to another level when brought together.
Chris Stapleton at the bing lounge "sometimes I cry" will blow you away
OMG how many candies did we get in first 19 seconds....LOL.....best analogy ever...you are sooooo creative....thank you Jess!!! And Jess we often Joke the Beat boxer (Adam Rupp) "swallowed a drumkit" as a child and it's been trying to escape ever since... he has won many awards as best beat boxer in industry
Home Free is a wonderful group to listen to and they have many more songs that are sure to amaze and entertain you and us. Another on that would be fun and has a lovely surprise if you haven't experienced them would be Pisces by Jinjer. The lead singer has an amazing voice and I would love to see your analysis.
Chance is the guy singing the overtones. You'll hear more of him in Mayday and Folsom Prison Blues
They all five sing. They all five do the beatboxing. They all have a specialty, but all can do many things.
This from an armature harmonica player in awe of this beat-boxer. Yes he did an uncanny imitation of a harmonica, and different notes to boot!
You're my absolute favorite reactor so far...
Thank you Ralph!
You want to hear more from Chance, try "Mayday", or "Folsom prison blues". He doesn't pull crazy stunts in those, but he's an amazing singer and a perfect fit for this five piece.
Great reaction! ❤
Sixty-year-old non-musician (and new subscriber) here: Thank you for explaining and contextualizing some esoteric music/arrangements in your reax videos. Your examples enhance my experience of songs and artists I already love: I’m getting the how & why behind my appreciation. Cheers.
The guy doing the overtone is Chance. If you want to hear him sing watch "Cover me up" from Home Free. He proposed to his wife in the video. Its so adorable.
Take a look at "auld lang syne" or "end of the road"
Not gonna lie, you had me at Reese's cup.
lol 😀
Love Home Free! They are so talented and do so many different styles, though they are “country “. The rabbit hole is deep, but it’s a fun free fall! We Home Fries will take the journey with you.!
Welcome to the world of Home Free. I really enjoyed listening to you, especially your reaction to Adam Rupp, the best boxer, he is truly amazing.
You should react to Voctave "Mary did you know, fea Mark Lowrey" (the writer). Which also has amazing work by Kate Lott, one of the best sopranos alive
Voctave at its best is (in my opinion) their Movie medley (tribute to John Williams). Superb.
Awww this is so good omg ,this is my first time hearing them ,and of course your reaction always top
I'm not the only one!!
Lead is Austin Brown, high tenor. The Bearded One is Rob Lundquist, tenor. Beat boxer is Adam Rupp, he and his brother Chris (no longer with the group) founded the group. And yes, he played the harmonica without a harmonica. Last, but not least, is Adam Chance. He is covers bass lines when Tim sings.
I've watched a few of these reviews/analysis of this song. It's mostly voice coaches and professional singers breaking it down. I love how the women get really excited when Tim comes in with the base. I should have joined the choir in high school! The girls would have given me all kinds of attention!
Helplessly Hoping, Seven Bridges, Auld Lang Syne by them is great too. Tim with Peter Hollen doing Misty Mountains is a beautiful example of layering their two voices, Tim goes sub- bass in this one, Tim is a five octave voice. To hear Chance the guy at the end, I would suggest Can’t Outrun You cover of Trace Adkins. Sorry if too many suggestions, they are amazing.
No, thank you for all of the recommendations! I get all of my video ideas from people like you so this is great!
@@jessicasopranonotes I am so glad I found you, love your spirit, heart and voice which is a blessing from God.
Loved your reaction and analysis. I always learn something I hadn't seen before when I listen to your take on things, so thank you for enriching my enjoyment of these groups. This time it was the overtone singing from Chance. Adam Rupp has a very deep and wide assortment of "sounds" that he routinely slides into his beatboxing arrangements with their songs; his range is extensive and if you're not watching him and only using your ear, I'm not sure you recognize the human element 90% of the time! Austin (the lead singer here) has some classical training, I believe, but I've heard him go from country to yodeling ("All About That Bass") to R&B ("End of the Road") to gospel ("Beautiful Star of Bethlehem") with ease. And if you like sounds, listen to Mitch sound like an electric guitar using a megaphone in Pentatonix's cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Thank you for explaining the singers in such detail! That helps me so much considering I don't know them at all. And so glad you're learning new things from my videos ☺️
Home Free are a study in harmony, arrangement, percussion, with a great sense of humour and not taking themselves too seriously. Each song has different members driving the 'lead' so listen to more to hear more of each of them. For pure harmony, try How Great Thou Art, Helplessly Hoping, Auld Lang Syne. Can't Stop the Feeling is brilliantly arranged, and just fun.
And to your question, Adam Rupp is indeed creating a vocal harmonica. And before your head explodes, when performing live, they use a looper to cover all the parts of some songs, including this one.
Great reaction, ❤️ from AU 🇦🇺
I love how an artist can appreciate others!
Loved the video! You should check out a band called Unleash the Archers. Specifically, their track, "Awakening". Their lead singer's voice (Brittney Slayes) is amazing. The whole group is immensely talented and this track really shows it.
Yes, Adam, the beatboxer, is (not) playing a harmonica. Also (Adam) Chance, the baritone, is doing the Jaw (or Jew's) Harp sound, what you were calling the overtone singing. I believe Rob did the scratchy record sound, but it might have been Chance.
Home Fries love their Home Free. Loved your reaction.
I LOVE this reaction 19 seconds in... first reaction anywhere that has recognized the overtone singing!
The harmonica you hear is all voice, watch again the first time he does it, you will see his hands are empty when Adam places them to make the effect
In addition to their Boys II Men cover (awesome!), the "Butts Remix" is another you'd really enjoy. They get a little silly in the video, which is hilarious, but the mash-up is ridiculously tight.
Your excitement!!!😁 Welcome to Home Free!!! Buckle up, it's quite a ride!😉
I'm pretty sure you won't appreciate it but hearing you appreciate a hard 'R' amused me. You are awesome, please don't stop doing what you do, we love you and I hope if you read this you will have no idea what I'm talking about, ultimately that is the goal.
the overtone singer chance takes the lead in a song called cover me up and its good stuff, if by any chance you're into yodeling check out thank god im a country boy
You'd think this would be near the bottom of Tim's range.
It's not.
wow! I was floored by all the country/bluegrass instruments the perc-singer is incorporating. Not just the harmonica, that opening overtone sound is a Jaw Harp, then that low bass that comes in is a whiskey jar. Then when you look at it like that, the bassline sounds like a washtub bass. There's a couple other folk/country/bluegrass instruments in there, but I don't what they're called. The toungue-clucking is some sort of wood box and I think there's a vibraslap or something similar in there too. I've never heard singers do those instruments.
It crack me up when you fan your hands when the singers get “gritty”. Love your videos! *waves from Tennessee
Surprising, beautifully-executed singing like this brings a joyous tear to this geezer’s eye 👍
You like Tim and Bass??
Do their cover of Mayday and be astonished.
Hi Jess. The 1st lead is Austin. The 2nd is Rob. The beatboxer is Adam. The guy in the dark vest is another Adam and he is doing the Jews Harp sound. When they do this live Austin also does harmonica in harmony with Adam. There are a couple videos on YT if you search Home Free drum solo where they all leave beat boxer Adam on stage by himself for about a 6min demo of his skills. Very cool. Also, yes the other Adam (dark vest) does a lot more singing on other pieces. You are a joy to watch and listen to. Stay safe and well.
I was just here to see your expression when Tim came out of his verse and dropped another octave. Dude is epic.
