I am so glad you reacted to this collaboration between Home Free & The Oakridge Boys. "Elvira" was a huge hit for The Oakridge Boys in 1981. You can see the great respect these 2 groups have for each other. The Oakridge Boys are mentors to Home Free & it is like they are passing the baton to a younger version of themselves. They have performed together on the Grand Ole Opry. Adam Rupp's vocal percussion is the best in the business. He can simulate drums & any other sounds perfectly. Home Free is my favorite a cappella group. They are so talented yet very humble guys

Just a fun note: this arrangement came from Geoff Castellucci of Voiceplay. He passed it along to Home Free when they got the chance to collaborate with the Oaks. Very cool.

Home Free + Oak Ridge Boys ❤️🙌🙌

The Oak Ridge Boys have been around since the 70's and have always been so much fun. Then you put Home Free with them and you have a super fun time.

The Oakridge Boys are LEGENDS! ♥️

The Oak Ridge Boys are in their 70’s when this was done I think. They still got it!! 😁

Barry dear, if you like Acapella with a theater feel, please react to Voiceplay . Their bass singer arranged "Elvira" for this video.💋💋

Can't go wrong with Home Free and the Oakridge Boys.❤️

"Illegal" and "Arrest them" haha. Enjoyed your reaction!

This was a major hit in the 70s before home free was born isn’t it amazing

I love hearing the older group with the younger group. It's an amazing mix of their sounds.

🤣😂🤣 the fact that you don't know the Oak Ridge Boys!! Makes this even better!!!!

Well I'll be at work as usual but I'll definitely watch when I get home.

The collaboration between HF and The Oak Ridge Boys seems like the passing of the baton from one generation to the next younger generation. These guys sounded "fantastico" together!

😂 I can’t believe you never had the Pleasure of the Oak Ridge Boys music before. They have been Certified Country Artists for decades. Guess it’s better late than never, right 😉. For Home Free to sing with them was a huge blessing to Home Free. Good reaction to this collaboration. The song was a #1 hit for The Oak Ridge Boys in 1981. Its my favorite song of theirs. ❤️

The Oak Ridge Boys have been together since 1973...50 years! Pretty much the same lineup. The only acapella country group I can think of for most of those years. They had many hit songs, Elvira being one of them. Thanks Barry

Oh Barry! sorry! I won't be able to be with you (and with Barry's angels) tonight... it's too late for me: tomorrow I have to get up early and go to work with all my neurons well placed. But the first thing I'll do in the morning, while having my coffee, is watch the video! that's for sure! please give lots of hugs to everyone from me!

Oak Ridge released Elvira in 1966. Please listen to Unchained Melody by Home Free. Made popular in the 60s by the Richeous Brothers. From a 1953 movie called Unchained. ( source of the black and white prison theme)

Holy shit, Barry. There's some seriously talented gentlemen in that room. Nothing short of incredible, Nice reaction as always.

I always love your reactions! I grew up listening to the Oak Ridge Boys. They were the best in the business back in the day and they've passed the torch to Home Free! What a wonderful collab on a classic song! Please react to Home Free singing "How Great Thou Art" and "Brothers in Arms". Keep a tissue handy. You might cry!

The Oak Ridge Boys have been singing for over 50 years. They are a great group also.

When this song originally was released by The Oak Ridge Boys... my Mom loved the song. She used to dance in a goofy way, and sing “Mauw Mauw”. A happy memory.

Oak ridge Boys were the original group to release Elvira. They still got it after all these years. Love Home Free collaborating with anyone.

Geoff Castellucci of VoicePlay helped the guys out on this video and did the arrangement for this rendition.

The guy with the black beard also sings bass,tenor and anything in between, also whistle like you can't believe!

Austin put the shirt he was wearing into a glass frame. The Oaks all signed it. There is a video where you can see it hanging on the wall when you first enter his home.

Brilliant performance, exceptional arrangement! And I enjoyed your very enthusiastic reaction as well : ))

Home Free has worked with several seasoned professionals: "Children, Go Where I Send Thee" with Kenny Rodgers, and "American Pie" with Don McLean come to mind.

Hear those invisible drums? Adam is the best beatboxer EVER! These guys are so good!

Legends and legends in the making. The only thing better than the Oak Ridge Boys singing Elvira is the Oak Ridge Boys AND Home Free singing Elvira. So much talent in one place. Adam Rupp's beat boxing is just phenomenal, although that's not anything unusual. Home Free is famous for spreading happiness.

The Oak Ridge Boys are country legends along with The Statler Brothers who were big at the same time! I was lucky enough to see both groups (at different times) at my local state or county fair (I forget which, it was so long ago)!

Home Free is Fantastic!!❤❤❤

Awesome! We miss you, Barry when you're not around.

Back where I left off. Not giving up on you, Barry. Go...Oom pa pa, oom pa pa, oom papa mau mau...

Hi! You may like also The Statler Brothers, you have so much personality, love watching your reactions!

As I tell everyone, you can't be in a bad mood while listening to, Home Free. 👍🏽😁

The guys felt so honored to do this with the Oak Ridge Boys. And I luv the mutual admiration between them. One gentleman said " I need to meet this Elvira if shes got all this talent singing bout her!" 😂 Enjoyed this immensely

The Oak Ridge Boys began their career in the 1940's (not a typo) singing gospel music as the Oak Ridge Quartet. They later moved toward country music and somewhere along the line changed their name to The Oak Ridge Boys. I was born in 1955, so I have actually heard them all my life! I think listening to gospel quartets gave me my love for bass singers.

As always, love your reaction. The Oakridge Boys have been around forever. That they would want to collab with Home Free is a real honor. They were totally star struck. Love this version of this song.

HF does another collaboration with the Oak Ridge Boys. "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" is a holiday song but it's a great listen any time of year, same for their collaboration with Kenny Rogers & "Children, Go Where I Send Thee." On the latter, listen to the outro for how the collab came to be. One of my all-time favorites is the collab with Don McLean, "American Pie." Don asked HF to join him for a 50th anniversary re-release of the song and it was unbelievably good. Thanks for the reaction, Barry, it was great. PS - I see you reacted to the HF 9-5 video, but you really, really need to see their LIVE performance.

Home Free is amazing!! Little bit of news... Austin got his start on cruise ships as a member of the onboard cast for shows. Royal Caribbean are known for their wandering minstrels! That's apparently where Home Free found him. They we're wandering around singing. It was so my 1st introduction to Acapella.I am in awe!

The Oak Ridge Boys took this song to #1 on both the country and pop charts in 1981. Home Free did a collaboration with Kenny Rogers too, shortly before he passed away.

I love this older generation, younger generation type of thing. Like passing the torch.

My son was 3 or 4 when the Oak ridge boys dropped this record. My son will be 44 soon. He went around singing this song, loudly most of the time ♥️

This song was originally by the Oak ridge Boys when I grew up in late 70's early 80's. I love their interactions. You get the feel the Oak Ridge Boys is passing the baton so to speak to a new generation. They did a Christmas song together called "Beautiful Stsr of Bethlehem" that's amazing too.

Absolutely love your double reactions! My favorite! Thankyou!

Oh Barry...so glad you got to hear this Collab....geez...I LOVE your reactions cuz they are MINE!!!!

Since you seem to enjoy Austin Brown's amazingly high tenor voice, you should listen to Home Free's rendition of, "When A Man Loves a Woman!" Austin takes the lead in this performance, and it's outstanding!

The Oakridge Boys are country music Royalty! Loved this colab, and your reaction, as usual!

The Oak Ridge Boys still tour. They will be near enough by and we have seats for June 9. Can’t wait. Now hoping Home Free puts us in the Fall rotation again.

The Oak Ridge Boys have been around since 1945. Since they did this song the Oak Ridge Boys have become mentors to Home Free. The have done many things together since. Tim the bass of Home Free has always wanted to be able to sing like Richard Sterban the bass from the Oak Ridge Boys. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.

Love this so much the guys are so humble and pay respect to there elders just love try LOVE TRAIN or HELPLESSLY HOPING enjoy

the old meets the new . .the main difference is .. back then . they didn't do the beat box thing .. good reaction Barry .. made my day ...

PURE HAPPINESS!!! 😁

And the Bass singer of the Oak Ridge Boys, is Richard Sterban, When He started out in Music He was in a group called The Jordanaires; Who ALMOST exclusively sang backup vocals for Superstar performer, Elvis Presley!!!

They obviously had SO MUCH fun! Nana Karen UK

The oak Ridge Boys released Elvira in 1981. They are Country Classic!

Home Free - Beautiful Star of Bethlehem Ft. The Oak Ridge Boys and Jeffrey East is also wonderful

I have watched this over and over. I was a huge fan of The Oak Ridge Boys, and hearing them with Home Free brings such joy. Barry, I loved watching this and so appreciate your genuine enthusiasm with every reaction video - having it be a group I am so familiar with and introducing the Oak Ridge Boys to new fans is wonderful. Thanks again.

The Oke ridge boys have been together since 1974 and this is their song but Home Free has pretty much been there little brothers and has been really good friends over the years. A great song to react to.

You have a beautiful smile-you remind me of Deacon on the show Nashville!

Of all the amazing parts of this cover, I am supremely amazed that Geoff Castelluci (the bassie boy of VoicePlay) arranged this cover and evidently helped with the video. Such lack of ego on everybody's part.

Absolutely love your Home Free reactions!

Astonishing fact? The Oak Ridge Boys are in their 70’s & 80’s.

Some of the Oak Ridge Boys are past their vocal prime. No surprise there with forty years. They are still gems as artists and human beings.

This is such a fun one, isn't it? And such a great moment for them, being huge fans of the Oakridge Boys. It's almost like a passing of the torch and always makes me smile. :)

Oakridge Boys are great too!!❤❤

They do a collaboration with Alabama, they also do another with the Oak Ridge boys. One of the Oak Ridge Boys passed away recently

Good to see you posting again Barry 🎶 💙 🎶

Wow, Tim and Adam were stand outs in this performance. Thanks Mr. Barry. 🌹

You are reviewing one of my favorite songs from Home Free. Their collaborations are some of the best.

My grandma was from North Carolina she loved the Oak Ridge Boys and this song was one of her faviortes.

Oak ridge boys are Super awesome, marvelous, and this colab, is just out of this world. The old giving way to the new. They do the same with the great Alabama group. You need to hear the Original with just the Oak ridge boys.who made it number 1. on the charts.

The Oak Ridge Boys may have lost something musically, but they make up for it with enormous experience. This lineup was together from 1974-1987, and reunited on New Year's Day of 1996. They make HF, formed in 2000 and with this lineup since 2016, look like newcomers.

Hi Barry! I am PRAYING I'll be home from the hospital by then & able to make the chat & watch Elvira with you! I know you'll enjoy it coz HF sounds great singing this song! They stuck me in the hospital on Monday bcoz my heart was not doing great. They have done every test known to man & can't find anything to explain what's going on, so I'm still here.😕 Well, even if I don't go home, I still hope I can make it tonight!! Looking forward to it! Love you Barry!! 🎶💜🎶

Hello It's Me Barry!! It's Me Wendy Hallman!!...just checking in. I love your reactions, as always. Can't go wrong with Home Free!! We all miss you over at Tea Time with Travis's livestreams. He is having a pop-up livestream this Tuesday at 6:00pm Eastern time (USA). It's going to be a Motown-themed livestream. Sure wish you could drop by...we would love to see you and enjoy a chit-chat with you. Lovely to see your beautiful Irish eyes and gorgeous smile!!

When a man loves a woman really shows Austin’s ability.

This was an amazing collaboration! I grew up with the Oakridge boys and 80s style country for a few years but loved this Did you see Austin and his " Fangirl " moment? Or Catch Rob comparing beards?

You should react to Rob Lundquist and Austin Brown of Home Free singing Nessun Dorma! It will knock your socks off!

Barry, the oak Ridge Boys “Elvira” spent 16 weeks on Billboard’s top 100 chart for Adult Contemporary as a crossover. It topped out at #8.

Love Home Free! This one is such a treat! If you're a fan of the bass, Tim Foust, may I suggest his solo acapella song, Come go with me/Stay. He shows that five octave range in it and it's crazy good

There's a video of another collaboration with Home Free, The Oak Ridge Boys and Jeffrey East on "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" - the harmony is just as amazing as the song.

Loved the reaction to "Elvira" with Home Free and the iconic Oakridge Boys! Noticed you had reacted to "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers, enjoyed that tremendously. May I suggest "Unchained Melody" cover by Home Free, it's amazing. They stayed true to the original but, as always with Home Free, made it their own at the same time. Looking forward to seeing your reaction on this. Thank you for always bringing a smile to our faces and putting a song in our hearts.

I Loved the watching it twice!!!! Thank You!!!💖💖💖💖

My dad (a UMC minister) would wander through the house singing this in his bass range. I always think of him when I hear this. BTW his name was Barry too. 😊

Oak Ridge boys have been around for at least 50 years singing

Oh! What a treat! I grew up listening to the Oak Ridge Boys and remember. this song very well. VERY well, indeed. It played over and over and over....and OVER....on every country radio station every day. I'm 69 years old now and I can still sing every word. lol....Such fun to hear them with Home Free. I hope you will review their song "In The Blood". I am curious what you will think about it.

Love this collaboration with our favorite acapella fellas ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️

19.- I will never be able to forget the entrance of the two of them into the house, through the door that led to the large kitchen, and my grandmother's terror mixed with several dozen hysterical screams. What a funny situation! The badger did not understand anything, he looked skeptically at that human who did not stop shouting, with a certain grace at me (who was sitting on the ground laughing non-stop), and raised his head looking at my grandfather with a curious expression that said : “Okay, I came with you to greet your family… and now what do you want to do with these people? Are they all crazy? Shall we bite them? Can you give me something to eat and take me home?" He took it with him, of course (poor animal: surely he already had a low opinion of humans, but he must have returned home convinced that it is better to keep them at a great distance!). And I, in an oversight of my grandmother, can say that I have had the great honor of petting a badger. Then they went along the edge of the road to the mountain path, my grandfather with his long, leisurely stride, and the badger behind him, trotting, tail wagging to the beat.

Maybe you can do one of the Oakridge Boys other hits on the channel.

The Oak Ridge Boys are all in their 70s. They were HUGE in the 1970s and 1980s.

Love the double reactions, Barry. I remember listening to "Elvira” by The Oak Ridge Boys all the time in the 80’s on the radio. Home Free’s collaboration with them was so special to hear after all these years.

Too much talent ,hmmm well at least more than enough !!!!!

Elvira came out in the 80's my mom loved that song when it came out

Love your review and expressions...classic...umpapa umpapa umpapa mow mow...loved your confused expression on THAT one! You're a real cutie 💓

Home Free and The Oak Ridge Boys collaborated on Beautiful Star of Bethlehem (Jeremy East is also on it) and it is gorgeous, I hope you will check it out too.

American Pie with Don McLean if you're going for the Home Free collaborations. It really showcases Don and each one of the Home Free group. It is a cover that really does justice to a song that has become an American anthem for thousands of people for over 50 years.

Oh Barry! I was smiling along with you man! Your reaction pretty mine mirrored mine....I'm in shock (and a little awe)...I never expected this track to be that good! You said about the layers.....and well....there's so much going on....I now need to go to the original video to watch and listen to this again....to catch everything.....and I'll probably have to watch it multiple times! Awesome!

Barry, The Oak Ridge Boys recorded “Elvira” in the 1980s. This is the Oak Ridge Boys’ signature song. Home Free did record a cover of this song without the Oak Ridge Boys.
