This song is very special to me. My family are from West Virginia. My grandparents were poor coal miners. When my parents retired, they went back to WV. Last November, my mama contracted the coronavirus. Being in poor health, she ended up on a ventilator. She lasted 45 days then passed away. I am a disabled United States Marine Corps veteran and was not able to go up to WV and visit her. Her last few days were filled with agony and despair. She died January 4th, and I'm still messed up about how she went, but my Christian faith tells me that I will see my mama again.
Great reaction! I agree with you - from country to patriotic to contemporary to humorous, I have never heard a bad song form Home Free. You have listened to enough of their music that you should have a good idea of each singer's 'normal' range and style. You will have to react to Mayday to really hear what some of them are capable of.
Hey Gitanos! Don't you just love Donovans work while drinking that first cup-o-coffee on a Sunday morning (Michelle). G wasn't bad either. She sure loves MTV! LOL
Please...PLEASE react to their Ain't Goin Down til the Sun comes up... it will blow you away!!!!! It's on their Facebook page. They weren't allowed to post it to YT and their latest one Between a Rock and a Heartache - very funny...guys gettin drunk, Tim trying to keep them in line as the designated sober one...you'll love it!!
I love this song.. Takes me back to when I was in the military, and later driving a truck.. Love your reactions G. They are priceless to me. You and your family always make my day. Keep On Keepin On.. Love y'all
I grew up listening to John Denver's songs. But I feel Home Free took this one to another level for me. It is one of my favorite covers of this song. I love everything about it. It is a masterpiece. Individually they are super talented but when they come together as a group it is perfection!
Many years ago my mother, brother and sister (Americans) were living in England and they met John Denver through a mutual acquaintance while he was in London. John joined them for dinner one evening in their modest home near Churt, south of Farnham. Unfortunately I wasn't there but sounds like he was a pleasure to have as a guest. John Denver's version will always be the beloved classic but as is so often the case I must say Home Free's creation may well be my favorite now.
Sometimes you need a break from the hustle of city life. Take that car and point it out of town, and see the city fall behind as the hills and trees take over. Your stress levels fall, and the smile appears. Thank you ma'am. Songs like this help .
Fantastic reaction!! I loved every second of it. I always look forward to your reactions, it just brightens my day! I can't wait til you come out here. Do you know where all you're going to go? If you ARE a "country girl" at heart, then you GOTTA do Nashville!!
Dearest Gitana, I hope you come to the US someday soon. When planning your trip just remember this country is huge. Even limiting your travel the area from the Carolinas to Texas could take more time than you expect. By the way, Home Free originated in Minnesota. That is in the northern most tear of states. Don't worry, you can have a wonderful time wherever you go. Happy travels!
We will welcome your visit with warm hearts and open arms. I have a good friend who is a teacher over there, living not far from Stonehenge, and he and his bride want to retire here. They travel the country each summer and he posts his travel adventures online. For such a big world, there's enough love to wrap us all up in one big hug. Thank you both for being authentic and for being you. Your fun brings a smile to this old man's heart each time I watch. ✌🏼&❤️
As the self designated #1 John Denver fan, I truly believe he would have loved this, and in fact, if he were alive, he would have wanted to sing with them. Awesome Home Free! You guys rock and do John Denver justice. RIP JD.
Whew... now I've listened in full. YOU... your reaction was great! On point comments, and your obvious thrill is evident. I wish you a fantastic experience when you tour the USA! We may have issues, but we're still pretty dang amazing. Okay, THEM... this is easily my favorite Home Free performance yet (this was my first time listening to this song as well). I get tired of John Denver's voice in about 2 minutes. I could live to be a hundred and twenty years old and never get tired of outstanding a cappella (like this). Glad to be a subscriber! Kepp doing your thing, your way! I have no suggestions for 'what next.' I trust you!
My two girls and I love this song (original from John Denver). We live in Virginia and go to the blue ridge mountains and Shenandoah River a few times a year to swim, kayak, canoe…white water raft. This song hits ME in the “feels” :)
This one gives me goosebumps every time. And I think John Denver would love their arrangement. Like you said, though, pretty much everything Home Free touches turns to gold. As for your trip to the U.S., make sure you stay north of Florida (it's not the south here, trust me) and south of Maryland and you'll have all kinds of beautiful southern places to see. I hope you have a great time.
I’m a US Army veteran, and I must say, you show more patriotism than many people who have lived their whole lives in the US! I for one am adopting you, as an honorary American! I love watching your videos!
I finally subscribed when you came up in my HF reactions feed. I agree, every song from them is a keeper. Your HF WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN is still my favourite reaction to rewatch.
I love you put that little clip of the boy telling Linda listen 😂😂😂 so hilarious this is grandma's house we can touch anything. You're not listening Linda 😂🐱😂
I'm from West Virginia and love this song by John Denver. Gitana, you should come and see our beautiful little piece of America the next time your over here.
I believe if John Denver was still around this day and heard this version from Home Free, he'd be incredibly proud of how well they performed and sang the song perfectly well
This is my favorite version of this song❣️ Besides the unbelievable harmonies, getting to hear Adam Rupp's sweet tenor actually singing is a real treat ❤️🎼🥰🎶❤️
Well, when you cross the pond, you'll have to come through these neck of the woods. West Virginia, wild and wonderful. We'll show you a time not to be forgotten.
We are looking forward to welcoming you with open arms GA. Truly! And I agree, have yet to hear a Home Free song I haven't liked, out of what, dozens, hundreds? Whatever the number it's a lot and amazing to say that indeed.
Good day Half Pint & GITANO'S!!! What was the sound?!...😂 Home Free did a amazing job covering the song but I do prefer the original by John Denver! Simple music video - but perfect! Much positivity always Half Pint & GITANO'S!!!💙💟💙
The Shenandoah river valley and all of West Virginia are absolutely gorgeous…so much more to see in the USA but if you do make it over here definitely check them out…
This was a great remake of the original and I'm sure Mr. Denver would be proud as it makes me proud to be from and living in West by God Virginia. Hope you have a awesome visit and you get to visit our wonderful state.
Thanks for the reaction I think john Denver would really like the justice they did to his song and I agree not one bad one there so talented and that cover was beautiful! ✌❣️
new subscriber I just love to watch your reactions especially when you react to songs I grew up listening to since I'm 53 that's quite a few different eras and quite a few different genres. lol and as a long-time country fan and as a true southern man ( i was born in and raised until I was 6 in Savannah Georgia ) I welcome you into country music with an open heart and with open arms.
Every time I hear them sing this song I tear up and become sad. My dad is from West Virginia and every other year I would go there for a month and visit my relatives. I love the the state for its scenery and the people, especially those in small rural areas. I enjoyed eating and shopping a small mom and pop places. I even extended my vacation one year and was there 3 months. I live in Florida and not able to go there anymore. To me the true south is from the Virginia and West Virginia to Georgia. Florida is in the south but doesn't have the true south atmosphere but great sites.
This is about the most beautiful thing I've ever listened to!! Gotta admit , not a fan of the original, but omg, Home Free made it so freaking unbelievably wonderful!
You will have a blast when you come to the US playing that song I know I traveled around the US playing that song it everybody turn their heads and not in a bad way in a good way I am a native American so me playing that song had told the reaction to it but I loved it
They really pulled that off well ... I think John Denver would be proud of that. Home Free took that song to another level for me, a masterpiece. The Home Free guys don't bastardize the songs and still give each cover its own flavor, it's great. Great reaction Gitana! Do you still have a spot for me in your RV, I'd love to go - LOL 😁😂
Girl you gotta listen to their take on Ain't goin down till the sun comes up! Garth Brooks cover by Home Free ‼️❣❣🥰 I swear you will love it ‼️‼️❣❣ Awesome video today❣🥰 love ya girl‼️‼️ oh yeah....... it's on FB. 🤷🏼♀️
There's another world class acapella group called Voice Play that you should check out. They are the third leg of the acapella trifecta (along with PTX and Home Free), and are just as incredibly talented. Each of the groups have their own unique style, and Voice Play's is a little more theatrical (often utilizing make, sets and costumes - but not always). They are wonderfully entertaining
BTW, I love Donavan too. I love when you guys do reactions together. I hope that you are both having a wonderful day. Like I said, I am a huge fan. I wish nothing but the best for you both.
Great seeing you and your spacey happy self. A compliment, really! HF's version of this country classic is like a warm cuddly blanket on a snowy night. Hard to beat. However, you are ready for a fun song, you gotta gotta gotta react to their new release, "Ain't going down until the sun comes up!" It is Garth Brooks cover.
I remember a few years ago a lady from the U.K. came over and spent a week or two riding around America in a semi truck ( you guys call them Lori I think but ours are much different) with a couple from near where I live in Iowa. ( from what I remember from the article I read) she was amazed by the vast amount of unused land we have. If you're coming to the south, ya gotta try some catfish and real " sweet tea" ( not iced tea with sugar but actual sweet tea)
When you coming over? This Home Fry lives in North Georgia. We have an empty RV Pavilion just waiting for guests. I’ll give you the North Georgia tour!
i see these guys any time they're within 300 miles of me. LOVE THEM!! if yo're going to be in the u.s. south you are welcome to stop by. i have a 300 acre farm with springs, creeks and "swimmin holes" in the Ozarks of northern Arkansas. we love bbqing and fish fry's with friends

A great song, sung by some talented guys. I remember listening to this when I was young. A much simpler time, when life was better in some ways
💯
The ending of this blew me away! I thought I'd heard everything from Home Free but I somehow missed this one. Thank you!
Great reaction! I agree with you - from country to patriotic to contemporary to humorous, I have never heard a bad song form Home Free. You have listened to enough of their music that you should have a good idea of each singer's 'normal' range and style.

I agree completely! " Mayday for sure!
Yes, please :-)
Love this channel, but have to 100% disagree with praise to Home Free. They continue to cover songs and ruin so many greats.
She is ready for that one ...and y'all are right it would be good
Hey Gitanos! Don't you just love Donovans work while drinking that first cup-o-coffee on a Sunday morning (Michelle). G wasn't bad either. She sure loves MTV! LOL
One of my favourites great video
Please...PLEASE react to their Ain't Goin Down til the Sun comes up... it will blow you away!!!!! It's on their Facebook page. They weren't allowed to post it to YT and their latest one Between a Rock and a Heartache - very funny...guys gettin drunk, Tim trying to keep them in line as the designated sober one...you'll love it!!
Just beautiful!! I was born and raised in West Virginia this song touches the feelings every time.
God bless you and yours God bless the USA
Thank you, Gitana, for your reaction to Home Free and Take Me Home County Roads. Home Free was amazing. They really did make John Denver proud.
I love this song.. Takes me back to when I was in the military, and later driving a truck.. Love your reactions G. They are priceless to me. You and your family always make my day. Keep On Keepin On.. Love y'all
Amen Brother!!!! you did the same track I am on Army then retire and drive a truck
@@darinhassett4708 I had right at 40 years experience under my belt before I got sick
Good morning, Lil Sister! Good to see you this morning. Another great reaction to a song I have always enjoyed. Have a great day! Love y'all!
Love those little noises you make,G. So cute.. And the "Hellooooo" Priceless💙💙💙💯💯💙💙❤❤❤
I hope you have fun over here and super excited for you to see Home Free 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I was born in West Virginia, this brings back memories, thanks Darlin' !🥰💙
I've been listening to Home Free ever since they got their start on the tv show The Voice.
If I could hit like a million times I would!! Thank you Sunshine!

My 95 year old mountain momma passed away today so interesting that you are reacting to this today. Born and raised there!
Love your reaction! Home Free are just amazing. They make Home Fries out of us all haha!
Last Dec (2021), wife and I got to see them live in Branson, MO. What a "party" they put on.
As the self designated #1 John Denver fan, I truly believe he would have loved this, and in fact, if he were alive, he would have wanted to sing with them. Awesome Home Free! You guys rock and do John Denver justice. RIP JD.

Was just going to say love all of your videos I would like to say we send our love all the way from Texas
I don't believe Home Free could do a bad cover. Great song. John Denver, a national treasure. Great cover. Thanks for sharing your reaction.
My two girls and I love this song (original from John Denver). We live in Virginia and go to the blue ridge mountains and Shenandoah River a few times a year to swim, kayak, canoe…white water raft. This song hits ME in the “feels” :)
We sang this song in music class back in the early 80's. Well written and the arrangement is awesome.
I hope you enjoy your trip over here. I also love EVERYTHING HOME FREE
This one gives me goosebumps every time. And I think John Denver would love their arrangement. Like you said, though, pretty much everything Home Free touches turns to gold.

WV is very underrated. Beauty and simplicity. Can't wait to see your USA trip reacts!
I love you put that little clip of the boy telling Linda listen 😂😂😂 so hilarious this is grandma's house we can touch anything. You're not listening Linda 😂🐱😂
Born and raised in the South. Just moved from Central Florida back to Georgia (metro Atlanta area). Come on down. Love to see y'all.
I'm from West Virginia and love this song by John Denver. Gitana, you should come and see our beautiful little piece of America the next time your over here.
We would enjoy to have you both here, A lot of the great places to visit is in the south, there is some great places up north too. Have fun.
The compilation of tons of artists is the most amazing version!
I believe if John Denver was still around this day and heard this version from Home Free, he'd be incredibly proud of how well they performed and sang the song perfectly well
An AWESOME Song, paid tribute to by an AWESOME Group. AWESOME RENDITION with a little HOME FREE inserted. Great Post, Gitana.
This is my favorite version of this song❣️
Besides the unbelievable harmonies, getting to hear Adam Rupp's sweet tenor actually singing is a real treat ❤️🎼🥰🎶❤️
Great reaction. We will leave a light on here in the South for you and Donovan. haha
Love from Florida.
The perfect group to caver this song. So smooth and mellow. Great leads and harmonies. Thanks for your reaction
Just come on over to South Carolina and we’ll go to the beach, the mountains . We love to meet you. ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜
West Virginia here....John Denver would be proud of Home Free...
Well, when you cross the pond, you'll have to come through these neck of the woods.
West Virginia, wild and wonderful.
We'll show you a time not to be forgotten.
You would love it in the south you are born for the self because deeply down inside you you are 100% country so can't wait to meet you
Amazing as always. Much love from the great state of Arkansas 🙂
This song is permanently installed on every jukebox in every bar in the state of WV!!
They did this so much justice!! Tight!!!
We are looking forward to welcoming you with open arms GA. Truly! And I agree, have yet to hear a Home Free song I haven't liked, out of what, dozens, hundreds? Whatever the number it's a lot and amazing to say that indeed.

This song for me is sweet to my ears since my high school days. Thanks for sharing. your channel is unique congrats
Home Free always manages to make familiar songs new and fresh with not only the singing but with their unique chord structure and arrangements.
This was a great remake of the original and I'm sure Mr. Denver would be proud as it makes me proud to be from and living in West by God Virginia. Hope you have a awesome visit and you get to visit our wonderful state.
Gitana, make sure to visit Savannah, Nashville, Memphis, Asheville (NC), and Charleston. You will fall in love with Savannah and Asheville.
Shout-out from the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina, ma'am 👍✝️🇺🇸🤠
Lemme know when you get here- I’ll get ya some REAL moonshine. East Tennessee here checking in!
Thanks for the reaction I think john Denver would really like the justice they did to his song and I agree not one bad one there so talented and that cover was beautiful! ✌❣️

Get here asap. Please let me know when you and hubby are coming towards Missouri
Beautiful song 😊 loved the reaction as always 😊👍🏼
Great reaction Gitana . You are the only reactor that I listen to for music other than that of The Barefoot Princess ! I always enjoy watching you .
Every time I hear them sing this song I tear up and become sad. My dad is from West Virginia and every other year I would go there for a month and visit my relatives.

If you come over this way you are welcome to visit here in WV. Will be happy to give you a place to hangout during your stay.
I live in the blue ridge mountains. You are gonna love the south if you visit..
I actually live in West Virginia. I love it!!!! You will too!!!!!
You will always be our Lil' Country Girl.. Love y'all much

I feel like when I see you react to something new by Home Free I am seeing it for the first time again!❤️
Home Free does it again! Love your reaction!
The Southwest is good in winter. I live in Arizona. 🌵
Can't wait for you to come through Tennessee. ;)
I hope you get a great experience once you are here. America can be phenomenal and totally messed up too. See everything you can when you are here.
I love watching your reactions. Home Free has a new video out called Between a Rock and a Hard Place.
There's another world class acapella group called Voice Play that you should check out.

Gitana, This is Brian from Texas. I don't think that you fully understand how much we truly love you. You make my heart smile everyday.
You just made me smile from ear to ear . Thank you so much! I love you too 💗
@@GitanaAdelle LOL, I am a HUGE fan. I watch every video that you upload.
Donovan better be taking care of business. LOL, Just Sayin'
BTW, I love Donavan too. I love when you guys do reactions together. I hope that you are both having a wonderful day. Like I said, I am a huge fan. I wish nothing but the best for you both.
I'm not a big fan of covers, however Home Free doing covers is irresistible. I'm a rock fan who loves everything Home Free does.
Love this I’m live in wva
If you come to W VA let me know can show you some wild country🤗
Great seeing you and your spacey happy self. A compliment, really! HF's version of this country classic is like a warm cuddly blanket on a snowy night. Hard to beat. However, you are ready for a fun song, you gotta gotta gotta react to their new release, "Ain't going down until the sun comes up!" It is Garth Brooks cover.
Great reaction. Come to the south and see us. You will be very welcome ❤️
I remember a few years ago a lady from the U.K. came over and spent a week or two riding around America in a semi truck ( you guys call them Lori I think but ours are much different) with a couple from near where I live in Iowa. ( from what I remember from the article I read) she was amazed by the vast amount of unused land we have. If you're coming to the south, ya gotta try some catfish and real " sweet tea" ( not iced tea with sugar but actual sweet tea)
When you coming over? This Home Fry lives in North Georgia. We have an empty RV Pavilion just waiting for guests. I’ll give you the North Georgia tour!
Love John Denver but ... Home Free stuns on this one !
John Denver would be proud of their version
Love your reactions. How are you'll doing
i see these guys any time they're within 300 miles of me. LOVE THEM!! if yo're going to be in the u.s. south you are welcome to stop by. i have a 300 acre farm with springs, creeks and "swimmin holes" in the Ozarks of northern Arkansas. we love bbqing and fish fry's with friends
