A few things to point out, this video was shot during Covid, so each singer made their videos in their own home all across the US. Also the high tenor Austin has a degree in musical theatre & was in several different productions before becoming a member of Home Free in 2012. Those are not their correct heights, they are all 6'2" to 6'4". You might like checking out their brand new country song written by Tim Foust their bass, it's called What's Left of My Heart.
This was a quarantine release, produced during Covid, meaning they each recorded vocals and filmed separately in their respective homes. They did a fantastic job with it. This is one of my favorites.
The guys did a great job of this Johnny Cash cover. Made it into a jazzy blues style. And they all look like some sort of criminals especially Tim & Adam. Remember this was done during quarantine so none of them were physically together. They were very creative during that time. Love the background train noises. Adam's beatboxing is crazy good & so is Tim's low notes. These guys have been together so long that they are like a well-oiled machine. They know exactly what is needed for each song. They are my favorite a cappella group.
I love listening to their voices.These guys are so talented. This is a great take on Folsom Prison Blues. I can't wait to hear them sing Don't laugh at me, the videos up in about an hour and that's such a meaningful song.
We've got the guys in prison uniforms and in prison, their (in HOME FREE fashion) silly height charts and a gorgeous upgrade of a Johnny Cash song. What more could anybody want? I just love Adam's beat-boxing and silliness in this one too.
Home Free is my favorite band! Love how they use no instruments! Love their version of " Man of Constant Sorrow", "Forever and Ever Amen", "Bless The Broken Road". Thank you and please check out more of Home Free! Sending love from South Georgia ♥️😀🍟
My favorite thing about Home Free is that they don't try to sound like the original...while still honoring the song. While they do have a lot of cover songs...some of my favorite songs from them are the originals...."Dive Bar Saints," "Why Not," or even the newest one "What's left of my Heart."
Really great version of one of the most classic songs! I love the video too, especially since I read below that they did their respective parts individually during Covid. Thanks Cindy for a super request, and Don your reaction is perfect!
Hi Don thanks for the listen. I am a fan of Home Free. No like Mike said they may not be traditional country. But acapella type singing has always raised my attention. There is absolutely no covering up a bad note.
@@mikebarnett9012 I do like the group. Especially when they do gospel. No their country covers I agree are not traditional. But I do like good harmony. They have several covers out. This is my least favorite.
@@jayshults8920 I respect them as they are really good vocalist, but overall they just don't really appeal to me. I certainly seem to be the minority judging from the comments. However, I am always honest in my comment and I know you ate also.
The guys were having some fun with this song. Chance the first one you saw is not 5 foot and none of the guys are over 6'4" or under 6'2". Tim with that last very deep voice and grin and Adam (beatboxer) with the extra movements and amazing sounds, are something else. Rob and Austin were so good with their parts also. Good Ol' Boy Good Time...another fun song, at Austin's Uncle and Aunt's place...The new song Tim wrote...What's Left of My Heart...very good. Up to you. Thanks for a great reaction.
They also did Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash, twice; once on the show Sing Off (Which they won) and later released a video featuring Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix. They have also done a cover of John Denver's Take Me Home Country Roads plus many other country songs.
Adam Rupp and his brother Chris are two of the original founders. Adam is one of the best beatboxers there is. Unfortunately Chris is no longer with the group. The group was formed in 2001 in Mankato MN, my home state. Rob Lundquist who joined a little later is also from MN. I’ve been a “Home Fry” for many many years. Thank You Cindy for the request and Don for another great reaction. Whether you like them or not these guys are pure raw talent. Not totally country but I will listen them before I will today’s Nashville so called country. “There Ain’t No Country Music For Old Men” !!!
I agree with you for the most part about Nashville country, but don't think you can paint anything with too broad a brush. Occasionally something good will come out of Nashville so I would like to recommend that you check out Hardy "Wait in the Truck". I was going to request Don do a reaction to it but I know he generally stays away from new songs for fear of being blocked by YT----#UTRCM
@@mikebarnett9012 Hi Mike. Thank You for your comment. I’ve heard the song you mentioned. I don’t think I was using a broad brush because I said today’s “so called” country music. “There’s posers and losers and outlaws who only know how to pretend, there ain’t no country music for old men”. Don does the traditional country…the stuff I grew up with and still love today !!! Thanks again !!!
@@farmdaddy1555 Any song where their doing beatbox noises instead of country instrumentation isn't true to traditional country music values, talk about posers.---#UTRCM
@@mikebarnett9012 Actually they billed themselves as country, and started doing more country music, to stand out on the Sing Off. They have always done all types of music.
Well I got to say that this was a great way to start the morning because yes I am a homefry and love all of what they do and I have a song request from Homefree and the song is meat in the middle which is a cover of the song originally done by Diamond Rio which came from that great genre does known today as 90s country music
It’s one of my favorites of theirs. That is not their real heights. This was during Covid so they all hung them at different heights at their own homes. They’re all between 6’1” to 6’4”. Maybe you heard Man of Constant Sorrow. They are all immensely talented. Tim, the bass, has a 5 octave range so he can sing low like this and then sing up with the tenors. Not kidding! They do sing a lot of covers but they also have quite a few originals. One most recent is What’s Left of My Heart. I would recommend Brothers in Arms, I Can’t Outrun You, In the Blood. Two of the guys sang some opera if you want to check it out. Rob Lundquist and Austin Brown. They did a great job. 😃
I've always, since the first time you reacted to them, felt you weren't giving them a fair chance. You always seem to just assume you're not going to care for them from the second they get started. I love the 'old, traditional' country music too. I grew up on it , but at 71 I have great appreciation for these guys and other groups like them that have enough talent to take on these classics, or newer songs from today, or originals and blow them out of the park. They highly respect the artists they cover and don't try to imitate, but to pay homage to them in their own way. It takes great talent and hours and hours of hard work to do what they do. You know, Kenny Rogers was thrilled to have them work with him and other artists have commented on their covers of songs they've done and give them high praise. I'm really surprised you gave them such a high rating on this one. But then again, you were more interested in how tall they were than on the quality of their performance.
These guys don't just do covers. They have lots of original songs. Tim Foust & Austin Brown have written a lot of songs. Their new album is almost all original music.
@@davidemswiler4351 My mom tried to teach me if you don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all. However torturous is a mighty fine word. You know I always try to accept others opinions while still expressing my own, so I respect the fact that these guys are some of Don's most popular videos. Also know you and I went back and forth about Moccasin Creek a couple of weeks ago so you will understand my level of disdain when I say I would choose to listen to those guys 100 times more than here guys. Also wishing the Longhorns good luck and good refereeing tomorrow against those Sooners.-#UTRCM

Not their real heights. These guys like to goof around. Never take themselves too seriously. In real life they are all between 6ft 1 and 6ft 4. This was also a "Quarantine" song where they filmed at their homes. You should check out more of their stuff - recently they have released an original song, written by the bass Tim, called what's left of my heart....it's really pretty and soft-country I'd call it.
That song is from their new album So Long Dixie. All the track, written by Austin and/or Tim, and friends, are fantastic. It's on presale on their site and on sale at their shows right now. I got mine 3 weeks ago and totally love it.
I think the heights change through out the video. One of their first big hits was "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash. They also did a fun cover of "Man of Constant Sorrow". Lastly consider reacting to Roy Clark's cover of "Folsom Prison Blues" I'm so amazed by the way the same song can sound so different depending on the artist.

Nope, not their heights. 😆 This was one of their quarantine videos filmed at the height of covid - so this was shot in their homes separately. Thanks! #HFSharpDressedManCover 🍟
song fits in with fun yesterday, lawdog + bylaw here about tunes cop asked me to put my laptop to stereo and crank it to read the sound on his meter. I said no problem and put song buy Bob Wayne ( Fuck the law). I don't what them to think I'm asshole I want them to be 100% sure.... be safe.... HAKAD

Until you see them in person you have no idea how talented these men are.
They really know how to put on a great show.
So true! Worth seeing.
Can't go wrong with anything by Home Free. They are just so talented and just keep getting better.

I like how they modernized this without taking anything away from Johnny and what he did. This is one of my favorites they sing. Thank you ^_^
