Home Frees' performances run the spectrum from silly and light hearted, to romantic, to somber and serious to magnificent, grand offerings. To me, this is an art piece that showcases their technical musical skills. It really highlights how accomplished they are as musicians. It's always lovely to hear a reaction from someone who appreciates their artistry.
Their rendition of “End of the Road” is a must. Rob’s lead is astounding, Then for a Chance lead, “I Can’t Outrun You”; it’s more 5 part harmony, and hauntingly beautiful.
Normally I'd agree with you on production/post-production...but I've heard them do this live...off mic even (!)... and it sounded the same. 😳🎶❤ Trust me, these guys don't need any help or tricks. 👍
The production comment was more of the modern day being able to capture more of the rangeand being able to capture all the subtleties better than older recordings than implying that they are being helped by it and processed. CSN didn't have the luxury of some of the advantages and better mastering although their recordings still sound great.
I grew up listening to Crosby, Stills & Nash & had their album with this song Helplessly Hoping. Absolutely loved them & their harmonies. This song is full of alliterations. Home Free more than does justice to all the songs they cover. And this song is perfection to me with the 5 part harmonies. I can't say enough about how great these guys are & humble while still staying respectful to the original song.
The harmonies give me chills, always. And if you see them live, the harmonies are still amazing. Tim, the bass, will rattle your whole being physically. Thank you for revisiting HF 👍.
If you do arranging you should check out their version of Do You Hear What I Hear. Adam arranged it and it's PHENOMENAL!!! I never like that song until I heard their version. Now I listen to it at least once a week and I don't care that it's supposed to be a Christmas song. Home Free is the most talented group out there and the BEST in the business because not only are they so talented but unlike other groups they do all genres. You want to hear harmonies check out their version of How Great Thou Art. BTW I just subscribed so keep the HF coming.
They are not only everything penny garrity says, they are kind, considerate, humble and funny! They are 💯 an awesome group of guys!! I'm getting ready to subscribe to see what other HF songs you do. I don't listen to any other groups. I'm 68 and I have heard almost all there is worth listening🎧to. I thought I out grew listening to music. I had become a fan of talk radio until I heard Home Free. I love this group and I like to listen to people react to them. They are awesome in concert too!! I would love to see them again in concert if my husband's and my health will allow it. Thank you for reacting to Home Free. All us Home Fries appreciate it very much!♥ As for Tim singing Happy Birthday, believe me HE CAN! Listen to his album that is all him (every part) and it is completely a cappella. The album is "Pieces Of Me" by Tim Foust. Listen to "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. Here's a link to that song, th-cam.com/video/8bN9bgwR0DI/w-d-xo.html
@@cricketandbuddy Hey Cricket. I'm 65 and this is my favorite group to listen to. I'm on an extremely tight fixed budget but I'm trying to save a little each month so that if they come anywhere close to here on their next tour I can go even if I have to walk there since I don't drive. lol I keep hoping they'll come to what used to be called Deer Creek (I can't pronounce the new name) but usually when they're here they're at one corner of the state or another. Hope you and your hubby get the chance to see them in concert
I am sure you\ll love those two....I would also add to that list, their cover of Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms"......it replaced (in my mind at least} this as their masterpiece....yes it\s that good !!!!
An exquisite 5-part harmony masterpiece!!! Besides the unbelievable harmonies, getting to hear Adam Rupp's sweet tenor actually singing is such a great treat ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
I enjoyed the reaction...thanks!😊👍 They just released an awesome cover of the Doobie Brothers "Listen to The Music"...the beatboxing was just fantastic and I agree with others here that Brothers in Arms is excellent.
I enjoyed your reaction. Yes, there are other a cappella groups out there and, yes, I have listened to them. However, I think Home Free is the best you can get. Their musicianship, their arrangements, their faithfulness to the original, their innovations, the range of their voices, I could go on for another three lines. What is most beautiful for me, as a fan, is their respect for their fans; they are kind and generous with their time. Almost did it again. The list of good is long. They can give you chills with their harmonies and make you laugh with their silliness, sometimes both at the same time. If he hasn't already done so, Shoky (It Doesn't Have to Make Sense) should react to you.
There are lots of live concert videos (taken by audience members) as well. The video "Home Free Kearny" is just amazing. A concert had been cancelled due to a thunderstorm and a bunch of the audience had taken shelter from it. Rather than disappoint them, Home Free walked through the rain, stood on a picnic bench and (without amps, mics, etc.) accompanied by thunder, lightning and flickering lights sang "How Great Thou Art". It's amazing.
When me and my wife listened to this rendition on the release day of the video we were just stunned! It's absolutely breathtaking! Home Free is our favourite music group and living in Sweden, we are lucky to have watched Home Free twice live! We even got to talk to the guys and ask some questions as we bought V.I.P. tickets the first time they went to Sweden four years ago this very day! We just had too see the guys backstage! They are so outstanding both as human beings and as musicians and singers! If you get an opportunity, go watch them live! You will never regret it!
Thanks for the reaction, I wish this was longer too! Absolutely stunning vocals. You will not be disappointed with Elvira or When a Man loves a Woman, can’t wait for your reactions!
The 5 part harmonies are always a treat when Adam sings with the rest of the guys. I noticed that Austin disappeared from the frame when they talked about "the empty place inside." I love how they sneak little things into some of their videos like that. Most of the reactors I've watched say their only complaint is that it was too short.
As a fan of harmonies HF is hard to beat. As others said: Brothers in Arms, Do you hear what hear, Seven Bridges Road, Wagon Wheel... You can't actually go wrong with any of their songs
Great choice! I agree with you that it's too short. I never get enough of Home Free and could listen to them 24/7! Appreciate you for giving our favorite guy's your attention! Sending love from South Georgia ♥️😀🍟
As someone who has seen this video hundreds of times, I can attest to the fact that it never gets old! It's so wonderful to watch new people hear this for the 1st time! It never ceases to give me goosebumps when Home Free's harmonies come together! Great reaction, new sub here. ❤
Beautiful reaction! Really enjoy listening to your voice. Can't wait for your reaction to Home Free's cover of Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" and "American Pie" with the original singer/song writer Mr. Don McLean. Mr. McLean contacted Home Free to record his 50th Anniversary release of his iconic song with him. It's beautiful! Home Free's covers pay homage to the originals while adding a Home Free tweak that never sullies the original.
Oh it’s one of my favorites. It’s stunning. It’s Chance’s baby. (He was the first singer). He filmed it and arranged it I believe. Loved it and they’re such good singers that it’s powerful. Loved Tim’s low notes. Yeah I agree….my only complaint is that it’s too short. Other powerful songs they do is Brothers in Arms, I Can’t Outrun You (both of those have lots of bass). Take Me Home Country Road, Folsom Prison Blues, What We Ain’t Got. Just a sampling. Love Home Free. Good reaction Ken.😍
New sub here!! I hardly listen to anyone but these fellas anymore. This one is one of my favorites. You will have a lot of us Home Fries as long as you are reacting to them. Welcome to the rabbit hole.😊
You're an amazing reactor! Home Free is this ridiculous talented! And I love when Adam Rupp sings! They all have ridiculous ranges and talents, Adam helps with the highs and lows!
First time seeing your reactions, but I love how you react! Home Free are amazing, especially on this one! So glad I found you! Now I get to share you with my hubby, who is also a musician and speaks your language! 😉😁
Love this song. And really enjoy your reactions. It's nice to hear from someone who has musical knowledge! Another world class acapella group you'd enjoy is Voice Play. They make the third leg of the world class acapella trifecta, with Home Free and PTX. Their style is different, and they vary genres, but do all of them fantastically. Favorites are: Warriors, Carry On Wayward Son, Hoist the Colours, Superstition, My Mother Told Me. They just released a stunning version of I Can't Make You Love Me. They do Disney, musical theater, rock, pop... you name it, they can do it.
There is a live version of this at a concert where they are not using mics. It's just as good. And I do believe you would love their version of Brothers in Arms.
New sub here! This is one of my favorite covers from Home Free! They are masters in their class! I was thinking about another great cover while watching you react to this one, but I see someone already suggested “Brothers In Arms”. Consider this a second motion for it, as well as two other covers of theirs: “One Man Band”, and “The Driver”. They do write some originals. Their Dive Bar Saints Album is 10 originals, 2 covers. The title track is a good place to start. I always enjoy musicians’ reactions because they seem to give a more in depth review and appreciate their talent more. Looking forward to more Home Free reactions.
Some of my favorite Home Free tracks: What We Ain't Got Seven Bridges Road Do You Hear What I Hear (Christmas classic) My Church In The Blood Mayday End Of The Road Folsom Prison Blues Moonshine When A Man Loves A Woman Brothers In Arms
I love how Chance and Rob start off in the same key, sounds like ONE voice, and I'm sure that is not easy. Then they all built up to all members singing together. The only problem, it didnt last long enough
Hello Ken. I just saw your channel pop up and wanted to give you a listen - and with only one reaction - you have a new subscriber! Will take a deep dive into your previous reactions. Thank you and thank you for your appreciation of Home Free. I have loved CSN/Y since they first formed, but HF's version of this song is equal to - and maybe better than the original.
New sub here, really enjoyed your reaction. I think you would really enjoy their version of American Pie featuring the man himself Don McClean on the songs 50th anniversary. It's the whole song, all 8 plus minutes of it. See ya soon!!!
You really should listen to Voiceplay, they are just as good as Home free and also doing a cappella. Furthermore the basses (and some of the other group members also) of these two groups, Tim Foust (Home Free) and Geoff Castellucci (Voiceplay), who both sport about 5 octaves, have done very neat solo projects. You should definitely check them out too.
I'd like to suggest Seven Bridges Road (Eagles cover) and also when the time is right, Silent Night and Alde Lang Syne. Both of these are fantastic 5 part harmony classics. Seven Bridges Road is just awesome.
New subscriber, always interested when someone discovers Home Free. Might I also suggest checking out Voiceplay as another accapella group. Oogie Boogie's song.
Bass singer, Tim Foust, is even better live. Check out some concert footage, or better still, review & react to their series winning performances on “the sing off”
I think you would really enjoy their version of "Brothers In Arms". A true masterpiece!

They did so well on this cover. One of my favorite Home Free covers.

Damn, they've done that to me, too. They've made me like a song I can't stand against my will on a couple of occasions now.
That was short but so sweet. I love Home Free's harmony.
I am sure you\ll love those two....I would also add to that list, their cover of Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms"......it replaced (in my mind at least} this as their masterpiece....yes it\s that good !!!!
There just isn't much to say about this. So good harmonies, so well sung! So short but oh so powerful
I love this cover, but even more than this I love their cover of Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms with the arrangement from Club for Five.
An exquisite 5-part harmony masterpiece!!!
Besides the unbelievable harmonies, getting to hear Adam Rupp's sweet tenor actually singing is such a great treat ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
I enjoyed the reaction...thanks!😊👍 They just released an awesome cover of the Doobie Brothers "Listen to The Music"...the beatboxing was just fantastic and I agree with others here that Brothers in Arms is excellent.
These harmonies are amazing
I got tickets to see “Home Free” on October 20- can’t wait!!!

He already reacted to them about a month ago.
@@dagmar.6954 Thanks, I didn’t realise, this reaction only came on my feed a couple of hours ago. I’ll take a look 👀
I released them out of order. I've had a lot going on and just mixed them up. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for the comment BTW.
The 5 part harmonies are always a treat when Adam sings with the rest of the guys.

This was done during the pandemic. They weren’t even in the same place.
I love your reactions to Home Free! I hope you keep listening and reacting to them. There’s nothing they can’t sing.
YES….‼️….those NUTZ drive us crazy 😵💫🤪….we aren’t selling our house …..PERIOD ‼️
Love this song & their Fantastic harmonies ‼️
They sound just as great live!
Amazing,Awesome!!
That's these guys strength always leaving you wanting more.
Could you please do a reaction of Tim Foust doing A Capella all by him self of the song "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay"?
Perfection 🥰
Lovely reaction, thank you for your sincere and honest opinions!
this song is amazing, thank you for this reaction...😀👍🏼
Thanks so much for share the lovely and amazing work! We send to you a huge hug! 🙌💯

Quality over quantity - that's what we get with Home Free - I would love all of their songs to be twice as long as they are - just can't get enough.
This is a work of ART.
You should check out one of their many live versions of this to see how it sounds without production. It is great.
Yea we all deal with that!! but the song is also one of my favorites! Can't beat it with a big stick! Peace, Love!!
You really should listen to Voiceplay, they are just as good as Home free and also doing a cappella. Furthermore the basses (and some of the other group members also) of these two groups, Tim Foust (Home Free) and Geoff Castellucci (Voiceplay), who both sport about 5 octaves, have done very neat solo projects.

They are impeccable.
This song was Chance's baby from the video to the song but the actual arrangement was Tim.
This sounds just as good live and they usually do it off mic.
Everybody needs to understand that Home Free doing a cover is actually an upgrade of the given song.
HF is also known for their mashups. Check out Country Fried Medley (something like 8 or 9 songs) and Butts Remix. Also check out Mayday.
I'd like to suggest Seven Bridges Road (Eagles cover) and also when the time is right, Silent Night and Alde Lang Syne. Both of these are fantastic 5 part harmony classics. Seven Bridges Road is just awesome.
Two words...goose bumps 😶🌫
New subscriber, always interested when someone discovers Home Free. Might I also suggest checking out Voiceplay as another accapella group. Oogie Boogie's song.
You won’t be disappointed.
Spectacular!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesomeness!!!💗
Ask Saucey Dad, Tim sang happy birthday to him as a request of a fan.
Brothers in Arms - just give that one a listen by Homefree
They remind me of a pipe organ, when they all sung together without vocal percussion.
Tim the bass is a 5 octave superbass
The major complaint I and many others have had with this is that it is just too short...
Check Out Brothers in Arms and Blue Ain't Your Color!
If you have not already please do Champagne on a Beer Budget.
Home Free is the best.
Bass singer, Tim Foust, is even better live. Check out some concert footage, or better still, review & react to their series winning performances on “the sing off”
Now you need something a little more fun with more beat boxing. May I recommend Working For A Living.?
Better than the ORIGINAL..IMO
It's hard to argue that it isn't. The original has it's own charm but this took it to another level.
Nothing added. What you hear is what you get in person.
Wasn't saying they added anything. Just that modern production captures more of the range and detail that older recordings don't.
Do it in your range. There is no shame in changing keys that fit your voice.
This was so disappointing to click on. React to some Beyoncé and we’ll be back.
Love
