Chris, I can't tell you how much I enjoy these videos. The breakdowns, and telling us how things were made. The whole thought process. Thank you so much, for the videos, and starting, and keeping with Home Free for all those years. Without you, we wouldn't be enjoying all this great music today.
I Love that you still can't help singing along, yes I heard that *giggle* I also Love how Proud of each other you all are ! This is why we Love all of you !
Great reaction! I always loved the small detail that your hat flew off right as Tim hits the very quiet B0 in the background. I wish the B0 was louder so more people could appreciate Tim’s lowest recorded growl note.
I almost cried when they did this to open a show in NJ three years ago, as this is one of my favorite songs. Also pretty sure that I clicked the link to join Patreon after seeing this video, so it holds a special place in my heart.
Can't explain how amazing it is having you do these. It's like a long lost cousin explaining where he's been. Thanks man. Glad you landed on your feet.
I grew up a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band fan so I was sooooo glad to find this. NGDB has done so much music in the 60 or so years they existed and no one really acknowledges them very often.
Hi Chris. I'd like you to know how much I love this! I live in the boondocks of rural Minnesota, obviously on the farm. The creek, a walk away. My brothers, sister and I would go and dig up worms by the pig house, take our can of worms, grab our fishing poles, off we'd go! We.caught so many crawfish, would get so mad, we wanted a bullhead. Didn't realize what a delicousy crawfish were! We'd bring our fish home and then dad would have to clean them. I think he hated when we headed off to the creek with our poles in hand. Chris, this is so me!
Whenever I see the 'old' Home Free I fall in love all over again - my heart sings and I am in awe of the arrangements and the collaborative process 💜💜💜. And I love your evident joy in reviewing what you did then. YOUR hat might have been blown off in the video, but I take MINE off in homage to you and to the wonderful band they were then. Arise, Sir Christopher! 👏👏👏
Chris, thanks for both this reaction video and the original one. It is fun as a fan to hear the behind the scenes stuff. I loved all the videos from the “chicken era”. It was like trying to find Waldo in each of those videos. That is just one of those cool little hidden gems Home Free had in the videos.
I became a Home Fry a few months ago from watching these reaction videos. So when I saw the outro for Thank God I’m a Country Boy I giggled when I saw Time holding a chicken because Home Free chicken memories. 😁🐓
Hey Chris, I want to thank you for your part in giving us Home Free. I don’t know if you are old enough to have seen the behind the music segments that VH1 used to do. I would love to see something like that on you all. If you’re not familiar I can get you some examples as to what I am talking about. Also as a small business owner I would really love to see what your processes were for assembling that amazing pool of talent. It had to be very difficult. Thanks again!!!!
This is still one of my favourite HF music videos. And it was a great show opener.. instant chills. Loved Adam’s beatboxing and the throat bass towards the end.
I was at one of those gigs where this was the first song. With my daughter. And I had said I didn't think we'd hear this one live - it was too complex. And my favorite. And you started with it. I was blown away.
You all got jackpot with Jimmy, he is great at what he does. I liked the beard you had in the video, not to long, not too short. I first saw HF in 2016 just after you left, so Chance was there instead, but I do remember them opening with this song. It was a great opener.
When I was first learning about Home Free, I was having such a hard time telling Adam and Austin apart in this video with the almost matching bandanas!
Hey Chris! I love your reactions to HF videos you were a part of. It's great to get details of how and why things happened. And the original videos were awesome, which gives me an odd feeling, wishing that you were still with them.
This was great Chris, love how you give us insight into the making of your stuff. I was glad to see some spots showing Adam so he wasn't in his normal of being on the outside or background. By the way your hair looks terrific, all your suffering through was worth the outcome. Still miss you in Home Free. Its just not the same without you. 😞
Great video! Love hearing you talk about these old covers you and home free done was surprised that you didn’t mention anything about Adam doing those low throat bass notes and then Tim fire breathing the same notes an octave down even hitting a B0! Insane! Loved that part.
Wow! It's always a treat to watch anything Home Free does and anything that the Rupps do (Adam, you and sis---Are those all the Rupps that sing and dance and beatbox?). I love your 7th Avenue videos and these reaction/analysis videos that you do. You should consider doing a song I co_wrote back in the '60s called Acne, Acne! I know it's probably too crazy for actual recording but it was funny! On the more serious side, I wrote music to "Red, Red Rose" by Robert Burns before it was recorded by Pat Boone, et al. Their version was so like mine that I thought they had somehow heard my band "The Rondevous" and stolen it. I realize now that it was a mere coincidence, but it was spooky since I did cover versions of some other songs that strangely became pretty big hits for other well-known artists. But, alas and alack, my music career was cut short by my joining the Navy and going to Viet Nam. After I got out, I had a family to provide for and never played afterward.
"And YT guy" BOY, THAT narrows it down! :-) That first video 'color' effect kind of reminds of something we used to do with B/W prints called solarizing. Not exactly the same, but what you did was expose the print normally, partially develop it (short the developing bath time) and then expose to white light (short exposure) then finish the develop/stop/fix baths...boy, had to stretch the memory for that one...very long time ago. I think it occurred because the partially developed silver already had some contrast and absorbed light differently (black more, since it reflects less). Not sure why I told you all that, except that you seem to enjoy technical aspects of things, and I doubt many people do that sort of thing any more, with CCD cameras and Photoshop or equivalent available now. It was interesting that you said 'burned out' since that's kind of what the literal version was.
This really was, still is, one of my favorite songs by Home Free. So much so, that I edited it, and made an extended version that runs about 6 minutes 40 seconds --- The laptop I used has since died. Though, it's still on mine & my wife's mp3 players.
Cool! This will always be one of my favs!! I loved when y'all opened the show with it. It really got everybody in a great, party mood!! And... The outtro is one of my fav songs & videos too!! ❤️😊👍
I have listened to your analysis more than once and i still love it! The first time I ever watched the original video, i was alone thankfully because at the end where you and Adam ended the song, I let an unlady like curse slip out! I think my exact word was Da*n. Oops! A little embarassed but wow. What a great arrangement!
I’ve seen what seems like thousands of Home Free videos and photos, with you always wearing a cowboy hat. Now I’ve finally seen you without it, and with a beard. Dang, man, you’re very, very handsome! Why did you hide for all those years? Austin would not have been the only one with women falling over each other trying to get near him!!
This one's a new one for me. Don't know either of the songs, never saw the HF video before. I've got some exploring to do, sometime when I'm not just sneaking a too-long work break. (Don't worry; I'm not cheating my boss. She's me. And I'll stay up extra late tonight to finish my task.) Thanks for making videos that are accessible to everyone: plain English for most of us, and the occasional extra for the techie types (definitely not me) and the music theory nerds (sometimes me). I've just started recommending your channel in the comments when I watch a Home Free video; I hope I've sent a few fans your way. Win/win/win situation: you get viewers, I get a warm fuzzy feeling, and some Home Fries get a treat.
Funny story, I heard your version before either of the originals so I just thought it was one song and that's how it was originally. It wasn't until several months later where I heard fishing in the dark on its own and realized down to the boondocks wasn't part of the lyrics...
I really enjoy your reactions. I really love hearing your take on your work with Home Free. It would be interesting to see a reaction to some of their newer work as well - After all being the co-founder you'll always be part of Home Free in some kind of way,, and I suppose you also find it interesting to see how they progress. I know you still have a special place in the fries' hearts. Stay safe and keep up the good work. Greetings from Denmark.
I remember this one at the live shows! As a fan I can say it was awesome! Love all of the BTS intel, Chris! Your arrangements are really great! Home Free fusions were really amazing! This one was with 2 songs I was unfamiliar with, but I enjoyed them thoroughly!! One of my favorites was “Wagon Wheel/Song of the South”!!
I'd enjoy seeing you do a reaction/review of Avi Kaplan's "Change on the Rise". I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on his technique and the cinematography.
It's crazy how many fishing lines and bobbers were up in the electric lines, because I wouldn't listen to my brother and not cast out. Lines and bobbers are no longer there, I guess the electric company had to come and clean them out. 😁🤣
i'm Curious did you ever shave your head? It has always confused me how you can rock the bald look in song of the south but still have a nice head of hair today.
@@ChrisRuppOfficial I remember a couple of "what we're thinking ..." where you grab Tim and put his hair over your head, "I'm so happy"! Hilarious! Good that you've got the transplant, cause he chopped it off, hahaha!

I am a complete HomeFry but their videos haven't been the same without you! It's awesome to see the creative process behind this one.
Aww, thanks Ramona. I appreciate that!
It’s awesome having you brake down these songs/ videos. Thanks so much. Miss you with the guys but your solo work is awesome too!!! Stay happy. ❤

Love these videos so glad you decided to make them
You should try the Home Free's country fried pop, that would be awesome!!
LOVE THIS, MORE PLEASE
Home Free Seven Bridges Road or Alabama Sampler next, please. I love these videos that you do Chris, keep up the good work
I liked the full beard, Chris. And I really love this video. You're a big part of the reason I'm now a country fan.

What about you do a Critique and Reaction on the ACA Top 10 Country Songs that you did with Voiceplay?
Love going down memory lane with you!❤
Thanks for this reaction...I really love this song!!😊

I always liked this video. Thanks for the reaction.
I'm really enjoying these. Thanks Chris! ^_^

Only reaction is about how awesome Chris thinks he is!!!
ah, YT did not notify me!
will watch this as soon as I have time
*The* *stealth* *chicken*!!!
I danced around my sister's living room singing this to my niece, after the album came out.
Thanks Jimmy for making the extra concepts to the visual.

i would love to see you react to Home Free post Chris Rupp.
Definitely one of my favs!!
you should do a reaction for champagne taste and summer in the country
I love these reactions you’re doing! I think it would be really cool for you to react to “ACA Top Ten Bro Country” that you did with Voiceplay.
I'd enjoy seeing you do a reaction/review of Avi Kaplan's "Change on the Rise". I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on his technique and the cinematography.
Awesome video's
Can you react to I Want Crazy by Home Free in the Sing-Off? I heard they are an amazing a cappella group.
you need to react to Your derailment where Tims Twarks
It's crazy how many fishing lines and bobbers were up in the electric lines, because I wouldn't listen to my brother and not cast out. Lines and bobbers are no longer there, I guess the electric company had to come and clean them out. 😁🤣
If you haven't already can you react House Party by Home Free
I sincerely hope you do "This is How We Roll"! 🥰😂🥰😂🥰
I did
Will you ever join them for a comeback?
i'm Curious did you ever shave your head? It has always confused me how you can rock the bald look in song of the south but still have a nice head of hair today.
Nah, I had hair transplant surgery, I was pretty bald before.
@@ChrisRuppOfficial aaaaah that makes sence, thanks!
@@ChrisRuppOfficial I remember a couple of "what we're thinking ..." where you grab Tim and put his hair over your head, "I'm so happy"! Hilarious! Good that you've got the transplant, cause he chopped it off, hahaha!
@@ChrisRuppOfficial well i think you look great either way.
Opera Rock. From Spain please. React to Camilo Sesto: Getsemani ( live 1977 ).
I miss your voice in the group, sigh
