Home Free - Man of Constant Sorrow I Artist Reacts I 

A Home Fry and new subscriber. Just found your channel because you reacted to Home Free. Yes, welcome to Home Free, all acapella, no instruments at all. Masters of all musical genres. Organized in a college dorm in Minnesota in 2000; they won the 4th season of the Sing Off in 2013. Two are from Minnesota, one from Georgia, one from Texas and one from Alabama (Current members, Chris left the group in 2016 and was replaced by Chance). Their covers are upgrades, their medleys are brilliant, their collaborations with the original artists are inspirational, and their original songs are masterpieces. Within this 5 man vocal band you have 5 tenors, 5 beat boxers, and 2 bass-baritones. All of them can sing lead and they choose depending on whose voice best fits the song. They can do just about anything and they continue to grow and improve, yet they remain so humble. When they have featured guest artist, they support and allow their featured artists to shine. Several of them have their own channels and do some solo work. And just for fun Rob and Austin sing Opera. What else can I say? Their catalogue of work is quite large and continues to grow. You are in for an exciting journey and the Home Fries will be there for you all the way. Loved your reaction and looking forward to many more.

Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! I'm glad you enjoyed this. You really can't help but to become a fan of these talented guys. They have so many wonderful and fun songs to choose from. Helplessly hoping, Brothers in arms, Mayday, End of the road, and many, many other great covers. Enjoy the journey! ❤❤

we definitely need more home free! another song you might know is "when a man loves a woman" and they absolutely KILL IT

If you EVER get the chance to see Home Free in concert.......DO IT!!

Wait till you watch them sing Boyz to Men End of the Road! Rob kills it!!! ❤

To hear Tim really hit some bass notes, try Ring of Fire by Home Free with Avi Kaplan and Misty Mountains by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust

Tim Foust, their bass singer, has a five octave range so he can go as high as he can low, he's a musical beast.

Try their version of O Holy Night. It's stunning. Tim, bass, arranged it as a teenager. Welcome to the Home Fry train.

They’re an incredible group. The beatboxer is the best in the business. They can all beatbox to a degree and they’re all great singers. They all take the lead depending on the song. They are country but sing all genres of music. They can make you laugh or cry. For some Christmas music try O Holy Night, Mary Did You Know, Do You Hear What I Hear. Good reaction!😍😄

You will like their versions of "Do You Hear What I Hear", "O Holy Night", and "My Church" among many, many others. Welcome to our rabbit hole !

Subbed for more Home Free. Home Fries are very loyal to the guys and to their reactors, as well! Boy have you hit the jackpot with them! Enjoy your journey.

Trust me, you will NOT regret checking out more Home Free!

Great reaction Jenna! Even though they are known as the 'country' a capella band, they actually sing any and every genre (including opera). I predict that you will become a full fledged Home Fry in a very short period of time and it is a beautiful thing to see! They just announced dates for a 2024 tour and they are amazing live. Love your channel!

That instrument was called a "No-monica" 😉

Love these guys. Best a cappella group out there. They have a very deep and varied catalog. Everything from country to rock to R&B to pop to funny stuff to sacred and even opera (from the 2 tenors). Enjoy the ride.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the world of us 'Home Fries!' Hope you will be one of us too! (Actually, I have little doubt) Without a stretch, each and every member of this group is, arguably, world class in there own right. They also demonstrate a sense of ego-less thought, which allows for each and every group member to represent songs which suit any of their particular talents best. Austin Brown, a high tenor singer song-writer, who also has his own channel which is highly suggested. He has an incredible range and has displayed it many a time.... Austin shines in his performances of 'When Man Loves Woman' and 'Bring Him Home', from the score of 'Les Miserables!' - two of only many... I believe you will not be disappointed. Rob Lundquist, is another tenor with a unique timbre, who has a very flexible voice and range. Just a hugely talented, big cuddly Teddy Bear who has a terrific Gospel, Blues ability. Tim Faust, is a true Basso Profundo who has blown out many sub-woofers and speakers, live on stage. He too, has his own channel, so be sure to check him out. Believe it, or not, Tim has demonstrated a 5+ Octave range! Adam Rupp, is very simply, a freak of nature who is a world champion Beat-Boxer. He always has a unique way of expressing himself on each and every track. It is truly amazing to discover the myriad of sounds this man can produce! Adam Chance, (called Chance, as to avoid any confusion) is the newest member of this ensemble, who replaced one of the co-founders and brother of Adam Rupp named Chris Rupp. Chance has a silky-smooth voice that defies labelling. Though Home Free is a 'Country Sounding' group, they are talented enough to be able to cover and create all and any genres. Proof of this is Austin and Rob giving a performance in the Opera Genre, (more than acceptably well) titled: Two Country Singers Try Singing Opera... Home Free have had many collaborations with the Original Artists, whom are quite amazingly honoured by keeping their hits, recognizable. I am hopeful you will enjoy their offerings, without all the comparisons that others have made. How can anyone be compared with another? Just appreciate the music which all these true artists grace us with...😃

To say Home Free is a really good a capella group is one of the understatements of the decade. Five gorgeous voices that meld better than should be legal. Enjoy the HF rabbit hole - it is deep AND wide. 180+ official videos, many collaborations with others, and hundreds of fan videos from concerts over the years. And after you get a taste of HF as a whole, you can branch out to their individual works, both solo and in collaboration with other fine singers/groups. Welcome - but if you aren't wearing era buds, you definitely should be using headphones/ear buds to truly appreciate those bass notes and the high harmony lines.

This is their most popular song. These boys are so talented and can sing any genre. 💗💗💗

Not sure if you realized that they were also beat-boxing the percussion sounds as well as creating the Jew’s harp sound effects in addition to the “harmonica”. 😎👍

Great Reaction!! Welcome to Home Free rabbit hole. The group started in 2001 by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They are the only country A Capella ( all vocals no instruments)group but they are honestly do so so much more than just country music they can sing any genre and they do They won The Sing Off season 4 2013 that's where they became very popular. Fans of Home Free are known as Home Fries and are very loyal to the guys.

They are just funny, down to earth, humble nice guys.They are the best A Cappella group there is Sorry for the long read 🍟😊

You have just been introduced to the best a cappella group out there. These guys are all so talented. They lean towards country but they can do any genre. They all can take the lead depending on whos voice is best for the song. They are known for their tight harmonies. Tim Foust is one of the best bass singers out there with a 5 octave range & their beatboxer vocal percussionist Adam Rupp can simulate any sound. This song is very old & is done in the bluegrass country style. It was used in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney.

Home Free!! The best of the very best! Tim, Austin, Chance, Rob and Adam! Subbed for more of the guys!!

You only have just begun with this group. You will become a home fry. They are the best out there. They are so versatile. It's just insane.

Now you should check out Tim Foust (the bass) collabing with Peter Hollens. They do a few together. A good start would be Misty Mountains. It's a cover from The Hobbit

Home Free will blow you away. They never miss on a song.

This is an amazing rabbit hole! Try their "End of The Road" or "When a Man Loves a Woman" and you will be on your way to becoming a Home Fry..

Just subscribed with hopes for more Home Free . They are the best! I don't even think of them as an acapella group anymore, just my favorite band now. They do a huge variety of music and each have a very impressive vocal range. Adam, the beatboxer, can't be beat. Looking forward to more Home Free reactions.

Christmas songs: O’ Holy Night, Do you hear what I Hear, Mary did you know, Children go where I send Thee(with Kenny Rogers) Grandma got run over by a rain deer. The big thing you will notice is that the have fun and love what they are doing. They cover all types of music. They keep their Videos simple and do their own arrangements. Hey are all best friends and do a lot of non music together which comes across in their music.

Glad your diving down this genre and band. Home Free is great!

"uhhhhh, I love a bass singer" Yeah, you're gonna be a Home Fry in no time. One of the best bass singers out there. Brothers In Arms has a ton of bass singing in it by the way. Also, the main bass singer, Tim Foust, also does some solo doo-wop stuff where he shows off his full range.

I love seeing first time reactions to Home Free, especially this song.

Adam Rupp is the percussionist and he's doing the majority of instrumental-sounding bits. He is superhuman in what he does and is known as the "World's Best Beat-Boxer".

Welcome down the Home Free rabbithole. You will be in for a treat. Yes, they are country-base band but they do so much more. You will se....😊 New sub here.

I just subscribed to your channel and if you go down the Home Free rabbit hole you'll find that they cover all genres of music. All of the instrumentation sounds are done vocally. Adam Rupp is a world class beat boxer who provides the harmonica and drum sounds and Adam Chance is making the didgeridoo/Jews harp sound at the beginning and end of this song. If you like bass vocalist then you should check out Geoff Castellucci's cover of this song. He clones himself in order to sing 4 part harmony with himself, no kidding. It's amazing. I'm excited to see what kind of musical journey you take us on. 🙏✌️

I quite like this blend of voices. PTX and VP and HF are all very talented, and which I prefer sometimes just depends on the song or the style. To stay on the Home Free train, “Folsom Prison Blues” is the obvious next pick. It’s a similar, simple video style, and the same five guys. “Christmas in LA” is funky pop. “How Great Thou Art”is traditional choral. And “Do You Hear What I Hear” focuses on the beat boxing. Left to right Rob - Chance - Austin - Adam - Tim.

If you like the bass, check out Brothers in Arms from Home free.

Great reaction! Welcome to the Home Free Train. They have done some great Christmas songs.

you can pick any homefree song and its fire if you want a Christmas one i would suggest snow globe that's my favorite one and its not a cover its a original written by the bass Tim Foust

I LOVE LOVE their version of Folsom Prison OMG its SO very worth a reaction.

I love your reaction. Home Free is the best in everything they do.

Welcome to the rabbit hole. These guys are amazing and just as good live. Pick anything they do and it's fire 🔥

Excellent reaction first time watching you check out their covers of Ring of Fire and Folsom Prison Blues Tim turning on the bass will not disappoint later beautiful.❤️😎🇺🇸

Up next for Christmas from Home Free ........Do You Hear What I hear.

Wonderful analysis! I definitely want to see more.

Great reaction!

♥️😍🤠HF amazing. Great reaction ♥️. 🏠🍟

Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. It runs very deep. All the sounds you hear come from their mouths. They do different genres. Check out their cover of Road of The Road by BoyZ II Men. It will blow your mind! They also have originals as well. They are pure, raw talent. Do not do Mayday until you hear other songs and get used to the vocal parts. Love your reaction!

Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole enjoy the ride and us home fries will be with you

Saw you had a reaction to Home Free, and I had to subscribe! If you continue this journey, you will not be disappointed!! They cover a little bit of everything. Super group of guys! The funny and serious sides of them..will not disappoint! Enjoy!

In my opinion, Home Free is the best--period. It's easy to forget they are completely acapella and make all "instrumental" sounds themselves. In this song they are making a distinctly southern (country blues/bluegrass) presentation--it definitely fits the lyrics of the song. Chance doing the jaw harp sound really sets the stage for this song's story, which Austin's twang fits phenomenally. Tim's bass line completely grounds the harmonies and Adam's voice percussion simply cannot be beat. This performance highlights a lot of Home Free's strengths although they also handle ANY other genre just as amazingly❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ Check out some of their Christmas songs: Oh Holy Night, Do You Hear What I Hear, Mary Did You Know, Snow Globe, Cold Hard Cash, Full of Cheer, Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer, and their newest release, Christmas in L.A. #HomeFree #HomeFreeDoesChristmasBest

Thank you. # HOMEFREE. I’m subscribing now. I’m here for this group. Have a great day

Welcome to the Home Fries! This is a VERY deep rabbit hole. There's only one mistake you can make with Home Free -- listening to "Mayday" too soon. You don't get maximum enjoyment from this great performance until you know all the guys and their voices. For most reactors, that's 6 to 8 reactions to other HF performances. It's also an excellent idea to listen to female country vocalist Cam perform the original -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eRrCMEXPjWo.html When you listen to HF's all-male version, note that they perform it in the same key as Cam! As others have commented, all members of this group have amazing voices...and there's Adam Rupp--one of the best beat boxers in the world. You just had good introductions to Austin Brown (high tenor), Rob Lundquist (tenor), and Tim Foust (basso profondo.) Adam is a human drum kit. During HF's live shows, he does a "drum solo." One of those drum solos is here ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EanKWLUaDpg.html ) Finally, a CAUTION: HF's cover of the 1966 Percy Sledge soul classic "When a Man Loves a Woman" ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--pygPmfGQvU.html ) has a tendency to turn female listeners (all ages) into a speechless puddle. :-)

When a man loves a woman and end of the road are the next two you need to hear. And then the butts medley.

If you're looking for harmonies and bass you will never leave Home Free. Adam Rupp (the beatboxer is the best there is. He even has his own beatbox videos.) and Tim Foust (the bass, has a 5 octave voice range.) There are reactors that play them weekly. If you stick with the boys regularly you will be flooded with new subscribers. (New subscriber for more More Home Free.)

This song was also my first experience of Home Free’s singular a capella work. And just like everyone, I was very struck by it, and a lot of its greatly unique aspects, and it was clear these guys really know their stuff.

This song was originally recorded in 1928, I believe 😊

Just subscribed for Home Free. You’re in for a treat! Try their rendition of “Do you hear what I hear?”

Their version of “ Brothers in Arms “ is nothing short of a vocal masterpiece- would highly highly recommend

New sub here because of your reaction to home free. Welcome to the rabbit hole! Great reaction!

Can't wait for her to discover Pentatonix and Voiceplay.

These guys are spectacular! And very funny! They have a lot of Christmas songs as well. And they are good friends with the other awesome acapella band Voiceplay.

New subscriber. Great reaction, too! I love it when people discover Home Free. They are a freakishly talented group of fellas that excel in all music genres. They can make you laugh sometimes, they can make you cry sometimes but they always impress. Here's a cheat sheet on the group: Adam Rupp, co-founder of HF and the awesome beatboxer. Tim Foust, bass. He has a five-octave range. Rob Lundquist (glasses and beard) Tenor Harmony. Austin Brown, Lead Tenor. Adam Chance, Baritone ( goes by Chance). Chance replaced Chris Rupp (co-founder) who left in 2016. Take Me Home Country Roads is phenomenal but you might also want to check out Dreamer, When A Man Loves A Woman, End Of The Road, One Man Band, American Pie featuring Don McLean, I Swear, Blue Ain't Your Color, Dive Bar Saints, The Driver, Crazy and Folsom Prison Blues. For some funny ones: Butts Medley, All About That Bass, Champagne Taste, Hillbilly Bone and Ray Stevens' Mississippi Squirrel Revival. For some serious ones: How Great Thou Art, Go Rest High On That Mountain. When you are familiar with all the boys and their vocal roles, do Mayday. And last but not least, Brothers In Arms. It is haunting and beautiful. They have recently released several new songs that you will want to check out. Unchained Melody, Listen to the Music, Brother and Stargazer Lilies trilogy: Give Me A Sign, Stargazer Lilies and Mr. ...Their latest releases are Might As Well Be Me, Playing With Fire, Remember My Name, Oh, Pretty Woman, Cruise, Stand By Me and Life is a Highway. To switch it up..try Two Country Singers try singing Opera. Adam Chance just wrote the theme song to Ubisoft's new Pirate themed video game, Skull and Bones and Home Free performs it. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole!

Talking about the melding of voices, these guys are great, check out their version of Helplessly Hoping.

The top 3 groups on youtube are definitely Home Free, Pentatonix, and Voiceplay. Voiceplay's bass singer also does his own solo stuff that is equally phenomenal. His name is Geoff Castellucci. Im sure you'll get plenty of suggestions to react to for all of them.

Tim Foust is their bass and his bass buddy from VoicePlay Geoff Castellucci has also done a cover of this song on his channel where he does LOW bass covers. Geoff also arranged Elvira for home free to sing with the Oakridge Boys. Home Free and VoicePlay have done a fun collaboration and single members have appeared in VoicePlay videos.

Great reaction to Home Free, and welcome to the rabbit hole. After Christmas (since that's when I caught this), absolutely anything they have done is excellent. Their covers are definitely upgrades from the originals (or at least the most recent previous versions), their originals are excellent, and their collabs with other artist (Oak Ridge Boys, Lee Greenwood, Alabama, Kenny Rogers, Peter Hollens, Hound + Fox, etc.) are also excellent! The beatboxer, Adam Rupp, with his "nomonica" is absolutely out of this world! Thanks for this reaction - new home fry sub.

Found you because of Home Free. Great reaction.

I’m a new subscriber and have been listening to the Christmas music reactions, which were great! This reaction: I love how you are able to interpret the song. This is usually the first song to be listened to, and it’s always the one that grabs you and starts pulling you down the rabbit hole of Home Free. They are impressive and I hope you enjoy this journey with us!

these guys are very good I cant pick between them and pentatonix I really like acapella groups also so thanks I enjoyed completely

Another Home Fry here. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole!

Tims bass is so smooth that most people don't seem to even hear him

You definitely need to do more "Homefree" and if you love acapella then another group you must check out is "Voiceplay"!!!

Oh I do hope you do more Home Free! I love how you look at the video, the lyrics and the music.

Your eyes told a ton of stories in this song. Eyes are the soul.

They're awsome, as is your reaction to this musical gem. . . RING OF FIRE IS NEXT... ridiculously good. Mucho ❤ ✌👍🙏🖖🇩🇰🇺🇸🏴‍☠️

Sincere reaction.

It was actually on someone else's reaction to this song that I saw a comment pointing out that the line, "I'm bound to ride that northern railroad" was referring to the Underground Railroad, and suddenly the song took on a whole new dimension for me!

Welcome to Home Free. Sit back and enjoy one of the best times you'll ever have. Your ears are gonna love ya. Some suggestions : cover songs.. I want Crazy, Cruise, The Driver, and Talk a little less...originals, So Long Dixie, When you walk in, Lonely Girls World & Stargazer Lillies

While Home Free does cover many "country" songs, they can do all genres. I recommend their cover of "End of the Road" from Boyz II Men. Home Free also loves to make their fans laugh. Check out "Life is a Highway" and "Never Gonna Give You Up" for the comic side of Home Free. And for a total departure from country music, check out Rob and Austin (the two tenors) doing "Nessun Dorma". I think you'll be shocked at Rob's ability to sing opera.

Home Free are amazing, as Voiceplay or Pentatonix

The song was based on the 20's and 30's ,the dust bowl and the great depression. Families starving and men traveling hundreds of miles to the cities looking for work. Jumping on trains, risking beatings or being crippled to get there because they couldn't afford a train ticket.

We have something in common: This was also my introduction to this phenomenal group.

The first time I heard a version of this song was in college for a course called history of country music. This song was originally written by Dick Burnett in 1913 and was originally called "Farewell Song".

Pick your favorite genre, Home Free does it. We the fans are Home Fries 🍟 Home Free is Austin Brown tenor 1 Rob Lundquist tenor 2 Adam Chance Baritone Tim Foust Bass Adam Rupp Beatboxer

First lead singer is Austin Brown, tenor. Second lead singer is Rob Lundquist, tenor. The beatboxer is Adam Rupp, who also will sing backup at times.The bass is Tim Foust (5 octave range- bass to tenor). The fourth singer and jew harp performer is Adam Chance, known as Chance, baritone/bass (4 octave range - tenor to bass).

Welcome to the rabbit hole.

They do Ring of fire by Johnny Cash, Folsom prison blues, and Elvira with The oak ridge boys

Good reaction! And with some knowledge of the genres! (I had, at first, no idea what modern a capella was.) Subbing for more Home Free. Welcome to the deep rabbit hole called Home Free!

It is quite a wonderful version. The last time I was on your channel you were doing Marcelito Pomoy. So much musical talent to explore

I do like this version of it, I’ve heard it before! It’s difficult to choose between these, Pentatonix and VoicePlay! If push came to shove I would go for VoicePlay, and Geoff their bass singer is dope, one of their best songs is from Skyrim - The Dragon born comes! Enjoyed you reaction and breakdown.

Now you'd think people would assume, as you did, that this song existed before the movie "Oh Brother", but nope, most people think this is an interesting version of the 'the song from that movie'. I think having an appreciation of context makes Home Free even better. Even many of their vocal techniques are attributions to other things and everything has a history with them. Also, as a dude who can sing Bass I love how Tim's Bass always shakes the leaves outta the ladies. Tim is a very special bassist though. If we could all do that...

Love #HomeFree

beautiful video ❤

That lead guy really knows how to wear a hat. It's like he was born in that one.

True story: I sing in the bass section of the local choral society. Twice now, our conductor/director has moved the bass section to be closer to the sopranos for certain performances. In these instances, I had some women directly in front of me. I sang a low note, nothing remarkable because I'm really a baritone (the real basses are further back in this arrangement). The women visibly shuddered, and one of them said 'That's it, I'm coming back as a bass!' LOL!!

The bass singer's name is Tim Fouts. The guy that is making the harmonica is a world class beat boxer.

Fun fact. The base singer she likes also sings the high voice on some songs. He has a 4 octave range. If I recall correctly two of the other members also have a 4 octave range.

I think the reaction of females to a Bass is the same as a male to a Soprano. We are so impressed by something so beautiful that we cannot do.

Check out Home Free's Christmas music, since it's the right time of the year. You won't be disappointed. And concerning Adam Rupp (the beatboxer) the running joke is that other beatboxers have swallowed a percussion set,...Adam swallowed an entire soundboard.

BIG rabbit hole here. It's ALL wonderful, you really can't go wrong. Lots of genres, all of them take turns with the lead so you will learn each voice as you go. ENJOY and looking forward to the reactions.
