This is an old song that was finally put to paper around 1913. It was the big hit song in the movie "Brother Where Art Thou?" with George Clooney in the lead part. It was a pre-Bluegrass, pre-Country song and is very southern U.S. in imagery and style, so the main lead on this song, Austin Brown, really played up the southern pronunciation and the early 1900s singing style. Chance (Adam Chance), the baritone in the dark vest, did harmonic overtone singing to deliver the jaw harp (used to be called jew's harp) sound. Adam Rupp did the "drums" and "harmonica". His percussion work is extremely realistic in design and execution. Tim Foust sang most of the bass. Chance covers bass when Tim is on a lead. Rob Lundquist is also a tenor and has a wonderful country tone quality that really works well on certain songs. You may have noticed he matched Austin's tone when he came in after Austin to make the song blend better. They really work hard delivering whatever the song needs. It is not about egos, which is part of what makes them excellent.
We Home Fries love to see people discover them for the first time! I've been a fan since watching them compete in, and win, the Sing-Off in 2013 (2014?). Adam Rupp is a world-champion vocal percussionist, and does an even more amazing 'harmonica' solo in 'Working for a Living'.
As a diehard PTX fan, I must admit these guys are great also. Their beat boxer and bass singer really standout. I first heard this song in the movie Brother Where Art Thou, and when George Clooney starts dancing, I STILL can’t stop laughing!
Sarah Sarah, Sarah, Absolutely, Undeniably, hands down the best reaction anyone has EVER done to this Home Free version. The looks on your face were priceless. Thank You.
You may like "End of the Road," a cover of Boys to Men, "How Great Thou Art," a gospel tune, or "When a Man Loves a Woman," a Percy Sledge cover. Each showcases amazing harmony in different genres.
I found these guys last year. This was the first song I ever heard from them & I was instantly hooked & became a homefry. The talent of these 5 men is insane. Together they are a perfect fit & complement each other so well. There bass singer Tim Foust is the best in the business & Adam Rupp their beatboxer extraordinaire can make any sounds & is in a class by himself. Enjoy the journey into their talent, skill & humor.
You have to continue watching Home Free now that you found them. They can sing almost anything. Your face was priceless while you were watching the video.
Lady your reaction made me smile so hard my cheeks are hurting. Their beat boxer is incredible with the percussion and harmonica sounds but I believe it is Chance that is doing the Jew Harp sound u mention in this one. I was with u in ur first reaction to Dimash (I discovered Dimash for myself almost 4 years ago now). I subscribed at that time. So now let me welcome u also to Home Free. You MUST do a reaction to the Home Free cover of the Crosby Stills and Nash classic "Helplessly Hoping". Trust me...u wont regret it. It is an incredible display of their straight 5 man harmonies (including their beat boxer simply singing with his beautiful voice as well). It is a capella as u have never seen it. These guys are truly fantastic. Thanks again!
It was so satisfying to observe your reaction, as sometimes, those of us who are long time fans of Home Free become complacent about their enormous talent. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Home Free! I will make a prediction that you will, indeed, be a full fledged 'Home Fry,' as all of the die-hard fans of Home Free are called 'Home Fries!' (and proudly so) There is nothing like discovering, for yourself, their collective contributions. Each and every one of them are talented enough to be considered as stand-alone artists. Though they are considered a country styled a capella band, their versatility is sure to surprise and please you, as they have all of their fans. Please do take the time to do as many reactions of Home Free and I will watch everyone you do. Keep well and God Bless!
I love watching first-timers succumb to the magic that is Home Free. You have just begun the amazing journey that their music will take you on! You can’t go wrong with anything they do. They just released Bless the Broken Road and it’s incredible.
Your reaction when you were hearing them sing is one of the best I've ever seen! These guys are absolutely AMAZING! Some of the most talented musicians ever!!!
this song has such a bluegrass thick and rich like molasses absolutely beautiful and the man in front singing is austin brown that cool georgia twang and the beatboxer in the back the talent in this vocal group is next level the musicianship and tight rhythms the harmonizing they can do and the melodies are something else too
Get ready for the ride of your life with Home Free!!! When you become a fan, you will be called & known as a "HOME FRY!!!" Their fan base, we call ourselves "HOME FRIES!!!" Come and join our family!!!
You seem to have had the same reaction I did when I first heard them. Like where have I been? How did I miss this? So glad you found them! They are truly incredible.
I could see your mind being blown. It's amazing that the have all this great instrumental sounds all done vocally. I love Home Free. They also really funny and videos that show that side of them.
Great reaction!! Home Free has the most talented singers and beatboxer, their talent is on a whole other level. For your next Home Free song my suggestion would be a song called End of the Road and another one called Helplessly Hoping. Both are done beautifully by Home Free.
Home Free is the real deal. They’re so good. I just discovered them last year during the pandemic and they are amazing. They won the NBC show the Sing Off in 2013 the year after Pentatonix. They are a country band but also sing all genres of music. They are known for incredible harmonies. Try Helplessly Hoping, One Man Band, Bless the Broken Road and How Great Thou Art for wonderful harmonies. Wonderful reaction Sarah!
BY THE WAY, THEY ARE BACK ON TOUR. WATCH FOR THEM TO HIT CLOSE TO YOU. THERE CONCERTS ARE UNBELIEVABLE. THEY DO SO MUCH MORE IN THEIR SONGS THAN IN THE VIDEOS. THEY CONVERSE WITH THE AUDIENCE TO FIND OUT ABOUT THEM ETC. WHEN THE CONCERT IS OVER, THE WHOLE AUDIENCE GETS TO GO MEET THEM AND GET AUTOGRAPHS. THEIR CONCERTS {SOME TAKEN BY AN AUDIENCE MEMBER AND SOME OFFICIAL VIDEOS BY THEIR CAMERA CREW {RUSSELL WOLFE PRODUCTIONS} THE VIDEOS ARE ON YOU TUBE. WATCHING THE CONCERTS, YOU WILL GET AN IDEA WHAT YOU'RE IN FOR IF YOU ARE ABLE TO SEE THEM IN PERSON.
Welcome to Home free, You say you love country. You have to hear them do Ring of Fire, by Johnny Cash. Ave from Penatatonix sings with them. Great bubble base. Also the How Great Thou Art. They are the only country A Cappello around, They do tons of other thing also. The group started 20 some yrs ago, Adam , the beat boxer and hid brother Chris started it, Chris moved on, but you see him in allot of their early stuff. He usually wars a cowboy hat. Adam Chase took his place. He goes by Chase, because there are the two Adams.
Home Free is a wonderful acapella group, and they have tremendous talent, but honestly Sarah, I come mostly to hear and see your wonderful, genuine, heart-felt reactions! There is something very special about being able to spend time on your channel!! Best wishes,
You have just been introduced to my favorite acapella group of all time! (Just slightly ahead of Pentatonix.) I love watching first-time reactions to Home Free, and yours was wonderful! They started here in my state of Minnesota, and they are simply phenomenal. This is the group: Rob Lundquist (far left): Smooooth tenor vocals and a constant source of humor. Adam Chance (left, back row): Goes by Chance to avoid confusion with the other Adam. Wonderful baritone/bass voice who takes over on bass when Tim takes the lead. Austin Brown (center): Soaring high tenor vocals, and sometimes adds in some subtle yodeling. Adam Rupp (right, back row): The walking percussion machine. Drums, harmonica, and so much more, all coming from his mouth. Pretty sure he's not human. Tim Foust (far right): The dragon. He has an incredible range, and his lowest notes come from the mines of Moria. In some older videos, you will see a gentleman with very little hair who's usually wearing a cowboy hat. That's Chris Rupp, Adam's brother, who left the group a few years ago to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Chance. Everything they do is pure gold, and here are some suggestions: "How Great Thou Art" and "Helplessly Hoping" (sheer vocal perfection), "Ring of Fire" and "Folsom Prison Blues" (for more of Tim's insane low notes and Adam's "harmonica"), "All About That Bass" and "The Butts Medley" (for their hilariously goofy side), "End of the Road" and "Blue Ain't Your Color" (for some different styles), and my favorite Home Free song, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Have fun on your Home Free journey, and welcome to our fan group known as the Home Fries!! 😁
WELCOME TO THE HOME FREE JOURNEY! they have sooo many great songs they cover, alot of them are country but they do cover other genres as well....have fun checking them all out :)
What a delightful reaction! Most anything by Home Free is wonderful. Home Free does a lot of country, but does other genres, as well (and does them well). Since you like Pentatonix and now Home Free, you may want to check out Voice Play (check out their latest--"Hoist the Colors" from "The Pirates of the Caribbean"), Peter Hollens (check out his collaboration with Tim Foust--the bass from Home Free doing "Misty Mountains" from "The Hobbit"), and Voctave (check out their "Disney Princess Medley" and "The Great Movie Medley"--their tribute to John Williams). These are the best a capalla artists around today.
Welcome to the world of Home Free. Great reaction! As a "Home fry" I will say this: You are in for a good ride with the best group out there. Yes, the Pentatonix and Voiceplay are also good but I like H.F. better. If you like country you should listen to Ring of fire and Folsom prison blues. Two iconic Johnny Cash songs that they made - I dare to say - better than original. They made their own, modern tuch to them. In Ring of fire they have Avi Kaplan - the former bass from Pentatonix - as a guest. That song was recorded some years ago and at that time the beatboxers - Adam Rupp - brother Chris was in the group. It was those two who started the group 20 years ago. As said in earlier comments - wait until you play Mayday. Get to know these boys first.
Home Free is my favorite, their voices express so many things and are just beautiful and in some song funny....."how great thou art" is an amazing song they do as are all their songs..."Voice play"is another Acapella group, for them I'd recommend"my mother told me"." 16 tons" by Geoff Castelluci is amazing too....
You are such a breath of fresh air to watch! Your obvious delight is contagious! Thank you for viewing this and letting us watch you, it was delightful!
I already know this will be amazing. I’ll circle back when it is over to tell myself I was right. 😂 Yes, that was amazing to watch and listen to! Seeing your big smiles and astonished eyes was really uplifting. Thank you, Sarah.
The first sound…wasn’t the Beat Boxer..Adam Rupp, but, Adam CHANCE, he does the jaw harp. Said it’s not easy, but, sounds so real! They have close to 160 videos here on TH-cam 🥰🔥‼️. All genres. You react to more, you Will see a Lot of us Home Free Fans called Home Fries 🙃‼️, come to your channel ‼️. The Home Free rabbit hole is a Lot of Fun….hope you do more & join us here ❤️🔥‼️🥰🙃
Home Free being all men and two bass singers I think gives them a very rich sound. A great rabbit hole to go down if you wish too. They do much more than country music. All genre's.
New sub for more a cappella music. On top of the suggestions you have already been given I am going to add a few more. Hillbilly Bone, Thank God I'm a Country Boy, One Man Band, Workin For a Livin, Meet in the Middle, Folsom Prison Blues and Sold. In the newer videos our bass man Tim cut his hair and let the grey come out.
And if you love a capella, you should also check out Voice Play. They're the third leg of the world-class acapella triad. Favorites are: Warriors, My Mother Told Me, Butter, Bang, Hoist the Colors (from Pirates of the Caribbean), If I Were a Rich Man, and many others.
Welcome to the home free rabbit hole. Once you are in, you stay in lol. You seem like a nice, fun person and I am looking forward to watching more of your videos. Have a great day!
You will have a great time watching your subscribers increase just because of Home Free, their fan base is CRAZY!!! I'm included. Thanks for a great reaction.😊😊😊
Introduction to Home Free: Group was formed in 2000, and beatboxer Adam Rupp is the last original member. Home Free went full-time in 2008, and won "The Sing-Off" reality TV show in 2013. Tenor Austin Brown, tenor Rob Lundquist, and bass Tim Foust took turns singing the lead in this song. Bass-baritone Adam "Chance" sang backup vocals. All four singers can sing either tenor or bass, and all four are very accomplished lead vocalists. On the rare occasions that HF does use an instrument during a song, they make no effort to hide that fact.
You are so right about them, if they use a real physical instrument they actually seem to make it a focal point , instead of tucking it into the background. Love these guys
You're a sucker for country music AND a cappella? Your prayers have been answered! Others have recommended many of HF's excellent songs, most of which are covers. There is only one mistake you can make with Home Free -- listening to their excellent cover of "Mayday" too soon. (You'll understand when you get there!) In order to appreciate it fully, you have to be familiar with all the guys and their voices. For most reactors, that takes at least 6 of HF's "normal" songs.
Hi Sarah , remember when you say you like our guys the fries / fanname will come running , you say that you love country music well Home Free call themself a country acapella group they have over 130 official videos , some of their country covers -- Sold , Hillbilly Bone , Folsom prison blues , Ring of fire . Love from a danish fry
Sarah, your enjoyment of this new discovery was magical to watch. Like you, I first got into Pentatonix songs and later discovered this amazing group. The PTX fans are known as Pentaholics; the Home Free fans as Home Fries. Recommend to you their expansive "How Great Thou Art", expertly directed and staged in the Swiss Alps, their brilliant black and white cover of Crosby, Stills & Nash's "Helplessly Hoping", and ther recently released highly comedic cover of Huey Lewis and the News' song "Workin' For a Living", plus their outdoor country song "My Church", their rousing "Elvira" with the Oak Ridge Boys and the Johnny Cash song "Ring of Fire" with Avi from Pentatonix. Thanks - Enjoy !
You might like to react to Adam Rupp's drum solo preferably the latest one as he has gotten even better over the years. He's the "beatboxer", although Adam Chance was doing the jaw harp in the beginning and ending. The song was first written down in 1913, but it was around many years before that...
There's not just the one beatboxer (Adam Rupp), all of them contribute. My favorite song by Home Free right now is Folsum Prison Blues. Tim Foust (the bass voice) has an epic section in that song.
Sorry I'm late for the party, I'm always happy when someone new discovers Home Free. It's amazing when they realize that every sound is made by their mouths. I'm going to enjoy riding down the rabbit hole with you. My suggestion is their cover of 'How Great Thou Art', and their cover of 'Do You Hear What I Hear'. Enjoy!
I just subscribed!! Welcome to HOME FREE HOME FREE is a county A Capella band (NO INSTRUMENTS) that does more than just country. Tim Foust, the bass (5 octave range) , Adam Rupp, the beatboxer (freak of nature), Adam Chance (Chance) is the baritone/bass, since 2016, he took over for Chris Rupp (one of the founders of the group), Rob Lundquist, tenor and Austin Browm high tenor make up the voices of angels. PLEASE listen to more.. If I know my Home Free family well (Home Fries) , they have already given you suggestions of music. LOL Thanks for the reaction
The total range of this group covers the lowest note on the piano, up to where your kitten curls on the last octave, with a little paw out. One of the members has this range except for the lowest note. All but one of the singers can sing higher than I did as a teen. The fun is to determine the beat vs. the lyrical, the lead vs. harmonics; and when they switched!! It isn't always who you think.
They are dropping a NEW song tomorrow 9/24/21 if you want to catch that. I would suggest going back to the Sing-Off 2013. The year after PTX won, Home Free did. You can see how far they have come. Welcome to awesome HF music and thanks for reacting!
Wonderful reaction. Subscribed. Do more acapella stuff. Do some metal. Do some gangster rap. Do it all. I know it's asking a lot, but you're very entertaining. I'd love to see more reactions.
Great Home Free recommendations from your fans. Let me add HF's cover of Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On; Crazy; Always in the Blood; Die a Happy Man; Blue Ain't Your Color; In the Blood; and the collaboration with Peter Hollins, Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. Loved your reaction. Best regards from an American Home Fry. (Fans of Home Free are affectionately called "Home Fries").
Welcome to the world of Home Free. So, they have another 150 or so videos for you to react too, and there is not one that you will be disappointed in. Each one is performed at a high level, just like this one. Enjoy your Home Free journey.
Home Free, good friends with Pentatonix, is a spectacular a cappella group. For something more contemporary check out their cover of Boyz II Men's "End of the Road" and to touch your soul their rendition of "How Great Thou Art". For a fun country creation check out their cover of Blake Shelton's "Hillbilly Bone". BTW, this was their rendition of a very old folk tune probably best known due to the George Clooney Movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou".
You have a humble nature, so I'm not too sure you're even aware of the gentle, sweet spirit you project. It's quite endearing and gives an insight to those who care to notice a glimpse into your heart.
I'm not a fan of country music or acapella, but since I first heard Home Free I can't get away from it. These guys are so fantastic, so talented, just great. My first reaction was very similar to yours 😁 Love your reaction, love these guys 😍.
I am your newest subscriber and since you like country music listen to Chris Stapleton's version of Tennessee whiskey you will absolutely enjoy that God bless you I really appreciate it your reaction God bless you family as well! Rev Dr Rob Curry
You have begun an amazing journey and your reactions are so fun, funny, lovely...Enjoy Gorgeous... Don't miss Geoff Castalucci he is another Acapella, but he accompanies himself. If you really wanna hear Tim the Bass singe be sure and listen to their cover of Folsom Prison Blues.
ONE MORE THING, CHECK OUT THE VIDEO WHERE AN AUDENCE MEMBER RECORDED TIM VIBRATING HER CAMERA. VIDEO IS CALLED TIM'S VIBRATIONS THEY ARE SINGING THE COVER OF HONEY I'M GOOD BY ANDY GRAMMER ALSO CHECK OUT AN OUTDOOR CONCERT THEY DID OF JOSH TURNERS SONG, YOUR MAN. TIM BLEW OUT THE SUBWOOFER SPEAKER.
The ladies always like the bass! :)
This is an old song that was finally put to paper around 1913. It was the big hit song in the movie "Brother Where Art Thou?" with George Clooney in the lead part. It was a pre-Bluegrass, pre-Country song and is very southern U.S. in imagery and style, so the main lead on this song, Austin Brown, really played up the southern pronunciation and the early 1900s singing style.
Chance (Adam Chance), the baritone in the dark vest, did harmonic overtone singing to deliver the jaw harp (used to be called jew's harp) sound. Adam Rupp did the "drums" and "harmonica". His percussion work is extremely realistic in design and execution. Tim Foust sang most of the bass. Chance covers bass when Tim is on a lead. Rob Lundquist is also a tenor and has a wonderful country tone quality that really works well on certain songs. You may have noticed he matched Austin's tone when he came in after Austin to make the song blend better.
They really work hard delivering whatever the song needs. It is not about egos, which is part of what makes them excellent.
Sounds like we got another "homefry"!!! Lol love it
Adam the beatboxer did the harmonic and drums. It was Chance the one with brown hat and black vest that did the jaw harp at beginning and end.
These guys are pure magic ... try their "Helplessly Hoping" for some bone chilling harmonies !! Any song they sing is golden !!
amazing! Added thank you!
Yes, "Helplessly Hoping" ist my favorite
We Home Fries love to see people discover them for the first time! I've been a fan since watching them compete in, and win, the Sing-Off in 2013 (2014?). Adam Rupp is a world-champion vocal percussionist, and does an even more amazing 'harmonica' solo in 'Working for a Living'.
Home Free doesn't do covers, they do upgrades! Thanks for your reactions
Five elite vocalists. One of whom is the best bass singer in the world, and another that is literally the world champion beat boxer.
So happy for you, Sarah. Everyone who discovers Home Free is blessed. Thank you for a perfect reaction.
They are mind-blowing for sure...react next to their cover version of "When a man loves a woman" it'll blow your mind all over again
haaa! i cant wait, thanks
I I could twist her arm remotely I would . This is a must for her. I never tire of Hearing it.
Home Free is fantastic ! Thank you! New song from them is God Blessed the Broken Road, a beautiful love song.
great! added thank you!
As a diehard PTX fan, I must admit these guys are great also. Their beat boxer and bass singer really standout. I first heard this song in the movie Brother Where Art Thou, and when George Clooney starts dancing, I STILL can’t stop laughing!
they are really good!
They are all SOOOO talented... I don't think Adam Rupp get's noticed as much as he should... Those drums man, rock on!
Sarah Sarah, Sarah,
Absolutely, Undeniably, hands down the best reaction anyone has EVER done to this Home Free version.
The looks on your face were priceless.
Thank You.
THANK YOU
You may like "End of the Road," a cover of Boys to Men, "How Great Thou Art," a gospel tune, or "When a Man Loves a Woman," a Percy Sledge cover. Each showcases amazing harmony in different genres.
Added! thanks so much
I love to watch a new person see and hear them for the first time.
Welcome to the rabbit hole. Get comfy, this'll take a while. Loved watching you get floored by this one like the rest of us. Nicely done.
Thank you!

These guys are amazing… just listening to them gives me goosebumps… nice reaction sis..👌👍🏽🥰
they are mind-blowing, thanks sis
I loved your reaction to this song, I literally cried when I listened to it...sonic perfection to me. One of few songs ever to touch me that way.

Check out Adam Rupps drum solo, it's amazing that all that sound comes from someone's mouth.
Your reaction when you were hearing them sing is one of the best I've ever seen! These guys are absolutely AMAZING! Some of the most talented musicians ever!!!

BY THE WAY, THEY ARE BACK ON TOUR. WATCH FOR THEM TO HIT CLOSE TO YOU. THERE CONCERTS ARE UNBELIEVABLE. THEY DO SO MUCH MORE IN THEIR SONGS THAN IN THE VIDEOS. THEY CONVERSE WITH THE AUDIENCE TO FIND OUT ABOUT THEM ETC. WHEN THE CONCERT IS OVER, THE WHOLE AUDIENCE GETS TO GO MEET THEM AND GET AUTOGRAPHS. THEIR CONCERTS {SOME TAKEN BY AN AUDIENCE MEMBER AND SOME OFFICIAL VIDEOS BY THEIR CAMERA CREW {RUSSELL WOLFE PRODUCTIONS} THE VIDEOS ARE ON YOU TUBE.

Welcome to Home free, You say you love country. You have to hear them do Ring of Fire, by Johnny Cash. Ave from Penatatonix sings with them. Great bubble base. Also the How Great Thou Art.

Oh yes! Ring of fire reaction has been recorded and will be posted tomorrow! Mind blowing!
Home Free is a wonderful acapella group, and they have tremendous talent, but honestly Sarah, I come mostly to hear and see your wonderful, genuine, heart-felt reactions! There is something very special about being able to spend time on your channel!! Best wishes,
Thank you 🙏😊
You have just been introduced to my favorite acapella group of all time! (Just slightly ahead of Pentatonix.) I love watching first-time reactions to Home Free, and yours was wonderful! They started here in my state of Minnesota, and they are simply phenomenal. This is the group:
Rob Lundquist (far left): Smooooth tenor vocals and a constant source of humor.
Adam Chance (left, back row): Goes by Chance to avoid confusion with the other Adam. Wonderful baritone/bass voice who takes over on bass when Tim takes the lead.
Austin Brown (center): Soaring high tenor vocals, and sometimes adds in some subtle yodeling.
Adam Rupp (right, back row): The walking percussion machine. Drums, harmonica, and so much more, all coming from his mouth. Pretty sure he's not human.
Tim Foust (far right): The dragon. He has an incredible range, and his lowest notes come from the mines of Moria.
In some older videos, you will see a gentleman with very little hair who's usually wearing a cowboy hat. That's Chris Rupp, Adam's brother, who left the group a few years ago to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Chance.
Everything they do is pure gold, and here are some suggestions: "How Great Thou Art" and "Helplessly Hoping" (sheer vocal perfection), "Ring of Fire" and "Folsom Prison Blues" (for more of Tim's insane low notes and Adam's "harmonica"), "All About That Bass" and "The Butts Medley" (for their hilariously goofy side), "End of the Road" and "Blue Ain't Your Color" (for some different styles), and my favorite Home Free song, "Do You Hear What I Hear?"
Have fun on your Home Free journey, and welcome to our fan group known as the Home Fries!! 😁
Just dive into ALL their music. The way you are feeling now will be the way you feel to all their music.
Home Free is incredible too! If you want a really fun one do their Butts Remix! 😂🤣☠️
that sounds fun! lol
Another one of Home Free's covers that is really fun is "Never Gonna Give You Up". I love it.
WELCOME TO THE HOME FREE JOURNEY! they have sooo many great songs they cover, alot of them are country but they do cover other genres as well....have fun checking them all out :)
Thank you so much!
@@SarahDengler yw...if you love country you should check out "elvira" "my church" and "Hillbilly Bone"...ty
What a delightful reaction! Most anything by Home Free is wonderful. Home Free does a lot of country, but does other genres, as well (and does them well).

Welcome to the world of Home Free. Great reaction!
As a "Home fry" I will say this:
You are in for a good ride with the best group out there. Yes, the Pentatonix and Voiceplay are also good but I like H.F. better.
If you like country you should listen to Ring of fire and Folsom prison blues. Two iconic Johnny Cash songs that they made - I dare to say - better than original. They made their own, modern tuch to them. In Ring of fire they have Avi Kaplan - the former bass from Pentatonix - as a guest. That song was recorded some years ago and at that time the beatboxers - Adam Rupp - brother Chris was in the group. It was those two who started the group 20 years ago.
As said in earlier comments - wait until you play Mayday. Get to know these boys first.
Home Free is my favorite, their voices express so many things and are just beautiful and in some song funny....."how great thou art" is an amazing song they do as are all their songs..."Voice play"is another Acapella group, for them I'd recommend"my mother told me"." 16 tons" by Geoff Castelluci is amazing too....
great thank you! i have added them to the list
Wow indeed!!! These guys are fantastic!!
You are such a breath of fresh air to watch! Your obvious delight is contagious! Thank you for viewing this and letting us watch you, it was delightful!
I already know this will be amazing. I’ll circle back when it is over to tell myself I was right. 😂
Yes, that was amazing to watch and listen to! Seeing your big smiles and astonished eyes was really uplifting. Thank you, Sarah.
i am glad you enjoyed it! thank you for watching =)
The first sound…wasn’t the Beat Boxer..Adam Rupp, but, Adam CHANCE, he does the jaw harp. Said it’s not easy, but, sounds so real!
They have close to 160 videos here on TH-cam 🥰🔥‼️. All genres. You react to more, you Will see a Lot of us Home Free Fans called Home Fries 🙃‼️, come to your channel ‼️. The Home Free rabbit hole is a Lot of Fun….hope you do more & join us here ❤️🔥‼️🥰🙃
Home Free being all men and two bass singers I think gives them a very rich sound. A great rabbit hole to go down if you wish too.
They do much more than country music. All genre's.
sweet! Thank you! i am ready to dive in!
I'm so happy that your reaction was the way that I feel about them as well. I'm so blown away every.single.time. 🥰
I think you would really like their cover of "Leave This Town"
New sub for more a cappella music. On top of the suggestions you have already been given I am going to add a few more. Hillbilly Bone, Thank God I'm a Country Boy, One Man Band, Workin For a Livin, Meet in the Middle, Folsom Prison Blues and Sold. In the newer videos our bass man Tim cut his hair and let the grey come out.
Thank you! All added! 😊🙏
Great reaction, Sarah. Amazement is these right reaction.
And if you love a capella, you should also check out Voice Play. They're the third leg of the world-class acapella triad. Favorites are: Warriors, My Mother Told Me, Butter, Bang, Hoist the Colors (from Pirates of the Caribbean), If I Were a Rich Man, and many others.
Welcome to the home free rabbit hole. Once you are in, you stay in lol. You seem like a nice, fun person and I am looking forward to watching more of your videos. Have a great day!
You will have a great time watching your subscribers increase just because of Home Free, their fan base is CRAZY!!! I'm included. Thanks for a great reaction.😊😊😊
Thank you so much for subscribing and watching 🙏😊
Great reaction to hearing the boys for the first time. They are amazing.
Introduction to Home Free: Group was formed in 2000, and beatboxer Adam Rupp is the last original member. Home Free went full-time in 2008, and won "The Sing-Off" reality TV show in 2013. Tenor Austin Brown, tenor Rob Lundquist, and bass Tim Foust took turns singing the lead in this song. Bass-baritone Adam "Chance" sang backup vocals. All four singers can sing either tenor or bass, and all four are very accomplished lead vocalists. On the rare occasions that HF does use an instrument during a song, they make no effort to hide that fact.
You are so right about them, if they use a real physical instrument they actually seem to make it a focal point , instead of tucking it into the background. Love these guys
You're a sucker for country music AND a cappella? Your prayers have been answered! Others have recommended many of HF's excellent songs, most of which are covers. There is only one mistake you can make with Home Free -- listening to their excellent cover of "Mayday" too soon. (You'll understand when you get there!) In order to appreciate it fully, you have to be familiar with all the guys and their voices. For most reactors, that takes at least 6 of HF's "normal" songs.
Completely agree with people new to HF. Can’t listen to Mayday too early on.
I wake up every day to this song. Makes for a great day
Hi Sarah , remember when you say you like our guys the fries / fanname will come running , you say that you love country music well Home Free call themself a country acapella group they have over 130 official videos , some of their country covers -- Sold , Hillbilly Bone , Folsom prison blues , Ring of fire . Love from a danish fry
awesome! falling into the rabbit hole will be worth it!
Mayday cover from Home Free is awesome
Added thank you!
Save "Mayday" for a while. In order to enjoy it fully, you have to be familiar with all the guys and their voices.
You'll really love Home Free's rendition of, Take Me Home Country Roads! A John Denver cover.
Sarah, your enjoyment of this new discovery was magical to watch. Like you, I first got into Pentatonix songs and later discovered this amazing group. The PTX fans are known as Pentaholics; the Home Free fans as Home Fries. Recommend to you their expansive "How Great Thou Art", expertly directed and staged in the Swiss Alps, their brilliant black and white cover of Crosby, Stills & Nash's "Helplessly Hoping", and ther recently released highly comedic cover of Huey Lewis and the News' song "Workin' For a Living", plus their outdoor country song "My Church", their rousing "Elvira" with the Oak Ridge Boys and the Johnny Cash song "Ring of Fire" with Avi from Pentatonix. Thanks - Enjoy !
Thank you so much! I can't wait to listen to these!
@@SarahDengler Thank you very much.
You might like to react to Adam Rupp's drum solo preferably the latest one as he has gotten even better over the years. He's the "beatboxer", although Adam Chance was doing the jaw harp in the beginning and ending. The song was first written down in 1913, but it was around many years before that...
There's not just the one beatboxer (Adam Rupp), all of them contribute. My favorite song by Home Free right now is Folsum Prison Blues. Tim Foust (the bass voice) has an epic section in that song.
Home Free has an extensive TH-cam catalog of videos, so jump down the rabbit hole and enjoy the ride.
Sorry I'm late for the party, I'm always happy when someone new discovers Home Free. It's amazing when they realize that every sound is made by their mouths. I'm going to enjoy riding down the rabbit hole with you. My suggestion is their cover of 'How Great Thou Art', and their cover of 'Do You Hear What I Hear'. Enjoy!
I just subscribed!!
Welcome to HOME FREE
HOME FREE is a county A Capella band (NO INSTRUMENTS) that does more than just country. Tim Foust, the bass (5 octave range) , Adam Rupp, the beatboxer (freak of nature), Adam Chance (Chance) is the baritone/bass, since 2016, he took over for Chris Rupp (one of the founders of the group), Rob Lundquist, tenor and Austin Browm high tenor make up the voices of angels. PLEASE listen to more.. If I know my Home Free family well (Home Fries) , they have already given you suggestions of music. LOL Thanks for the reaction
The total range of this group covers the lowest note on the piano, up to where your kitten curls on the last octave, with a little paw out. One of the members has this range except for the lowest note. All but one of the singers can sing higher than I did as a teen.
The fun is to determine the beat vs. the lyrical, the lead vs. harmonics; and when they switched!! It isn't always who you think.
Oooh! You're going to have a LOT of fun going down this rabbit hole !
I can't wait!
They are dropping a NEW song tomorrow 9/24/21 if you want to catch that. I would suggest going back to the Sing-Off 2013. The year after PTX won, Home Free did. You can see how far they have come. Welcome to awesome HF music and thanks for reacting!
please check Home Free - Ring of Fire (featuring Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix)
omg really???? that will be crazy! cant wait to check it out
Wonderful reaction. Subscribed. Do more acapella stuff. Do some metal. Do some gangster rap. Do it all. I know it's asking a lot, but you're very entertaining. I'd love to see more reactions.
Ohh thank you so much! And yes i will! I've only just begun
I love your reactions, Sarah ❤ Home Free is an AMAZING a cappella group ❤❤❤ Have been a fry (?) for the last 2 years.
Love, love Home Free!! Please react to more HF!!💗
definately!
Great reaction, can't go wrong with Home Free. checkout Acapella group "Voctave" and their "Disney Princess Melody"
Welcome to Home Free. I think their the best!!!!!
Great Home Free recommendations from your fans. Let me add HF's cover of Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On; Crazy; Always in the Blood; Die a Happy Man; Blue Ain't Your Color; In the Blood; and the collaboration with Peter Hollins, Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. Loved your reaction. Best regards from an American Home Fry. (Fans of Home Free are affectionately called "Home Fries").
Thank you! All added!
Welcome to the world of Home Free. So, they have another 150 or so videos for you to react too, and there is not one that you will be disappointed in. Each one is performed at a high level, just like this one. Enjoy your Home Free journey.
Love you and your reaction. All I can say is me too!!!
Home Free, good friends with Pentatonix, is a spectacular a cappella group. For something more contemporary check out their cover of Boyz II Men's "End of the Road" and to touch your soul their rendition of "How Great Thou Art". For a fun country creation check out their cover of Blake Shelton's "Hillbilly Bone".
BTW, this was their rendition of a very old folk tune probably best known due to the George Clooney Movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou".
Added! Thank you so much
You can see it Touch her Soul, Singing used to be ceremony of Every Tribe.
I’m glad you finally got to Home Free!
Me too!
You have a humble nature, so I'm not too sure you're even aware of the gentle, sweet spirit you project. It's quite endearing and gives an insight to those who care to notice a glimpse into your heart.
Thank you for the kind words 🙏 😊
I'm not a fan of country music or acapella, but since I first heard Home Free I can't get away from it. These guys are so fantastic, so talented, just great. My first reaction was very similar to yours 😁 Love your reaction, love these guys 😍.
They are unbelievably good! Thank you for watching 🙏😊
I felt the same way the first time I heard them, your real thanks!
I am your newest subscriber and since you like country music listen to Chris Stapleton's version of Tennessee whiskey you will absolutely enjoy that God bless you I really appreciate it your reaction God bless you family as well! Rev Dr Rob Curry
Oh Thanks Rev I have checked it out! Here's the link 🙂 th-cam.com/video/R0obH3uEmdM/w-d-xo.html
Nice one Sarah! Lukasz also got turned around to acapella after listening to this track (after saying he is not into acapella!) :D
Hahaha he got home free slapped! They are amazing
You have begun an amazing journey and your reactions are so fun, funny, lovely...Enjoy Gorgeous... Don't miss Geoff Castalucci he is another Acapella, but he accompanies himself. If you really wanna hear Tim the Bass singe be sure and listen to their cover of Folsom Prison Blues.
Welcome to the Home Free family! Enjoy this rabbit hole. Helplessly Hoping a Crosby Stills and Nash cover will cover you with goosebumps.
