These are the hardest working musicians in the industry. Home Free has been releasing over twenty videos a year and the Sounds of Lockdown videos were some of the most incredible and inventive ones. Their video producer and editor deserves a lot of credit.
They are good, but hardest working? There is a crazy Norwegian that release a new video EVERY Friday for the last 7 years. He does every thing himself (except if have guests) plays all the instrument, do all the singing, all the filming and editing.
@@Fetguf Yes but Home Free also performs over 150 live shows a year. Three of them also have solo channels and the other two have a weekly podcast and a gaming channel.
I just love that Adam Rupp fully embraced the "been in prison so long I done gone crazy" character. I've heard the Johnny Cash original and never thought this song could make me laugh out loud, but Adam Rupp once again turns part of a song on its head. Love, love, love your reactions and will always keep coming back for more! :)
Having one THREE REGISTER singer - Tim Foust would be more than most ever thought possible ... Home Free has two ... the other is ADAM CHANCE - here showing his chops on lead .... the boys all get their killer harmony as well as turns at the lead ..... just no one is near these boys. Home Free !!!!!!!!!!!! GBjj
These guys are so hard working !!! Releasing a new video about every 2 weeks....this was filmed during the quarantine, so they all filmed this themselves & recorded themselves, then sent the files to their producer, who then edited the video for release....that was hard to do, but they persevered anyways !!!
Amazing what these guys were able to do during lockdown. Orange jump suits and height charts and filmed in their own homes. Adam Rupp deserves so much praise for his percussion.
It should be noted that there are a lot of Home Free videos, 40-60, I guess, that were done when they could either not get together at all or with only minimal co-location (such as American Pie and God Bless the USA). When you see them in fully different screens, such as in When a Man Loves a Woman or Peter Hollens's version with HF or I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For), it should be appreciated that each performer was either working with a click track and sheet music or at best with tapes of the others, karaoke-style.
I love that it's such a train song. The background vocals all evoke that steam train rolling down the tracks and the mournful whistle. Love that the product has Adam on view for almost all those special effects. The rifle is amazing
Barry, another great reaction! Keep the Home Free coming - two new ones that are MUST WATCH are their cover of the Doobie Brothers, Listen to the Music; and also a cover of Need to Breathe's, Brother. You will be in awe on the first and in tears of laughter on the second. Adam's amazing talents, as usual, on full display with the gun being cocked/shot, the harmonica, the train and everything in between supporting the wonderful harmonies provided by the rest of HF - always amazing as well. For more harmonica (or no-monica as some Home Fries call it) you must check out their Huey Lewis cover of Working for a Living - a funny take on Anchorman; and also their Garth Brooks cover (video on FaceBook only due to copyright issues) of Ain't Going Down 'Til the Sun Comes Up. Thx!
That is brilliant, one of my favorites of their covers. One of their most recent, Doobie Brothers' Listen to the Music, is a must listen. It is a masterpiece!
The guys did a great job of this Johnny Cash cover. Made it into a jazzy blues style. And they all look like some sort of criminals especially Tim & Adam. Remember this was done during quarantine so none of them were physically together. They were very creative during that time. Love the background train noises. Adam's beatboxing is crazy good & so is Tim's low notes.
I love this video and their version of this song. I have to laugh because every time I see this video I picture them as a Bonnie & Clyde era gang. You've got Tim the evil mastermind (especially with that grin when he hits that really low note) Austin, Rob and Chance as the bad asses and Adam is the loyal protective headcase they keep from totally going over the edge. Btw I love the double reactions. I like them so much better than people who constantly pause to say something because they usually end up missing something when they paused.
Love your description of Adam! I've said many times that when they do a close facial shot of him, he looks so intense that he looks psychotic! And we're all here for that! 🤣
The great thing about Home Free is that regardless of the lockdowns from the recent unpleasantness, they were still capable of creating and releasing great videos like this one. Yes, more please.
Yaaas, another Home Free reaction! This is a great one... did you happen to notice how they messed with the height charts? Chance (the black-haired baritone) was only 5'0", LOL, and someone else was 6'8". They're all quite tall, but not THAT tall! If you want a surprise, check out their version of "Mayday." Yes, more please!
To hear each of them (more or less) doing a solo you could watch Austin Brown (high tenor) sing "When a Man Loves A Woman"; Rob Lundquist (lead tenor with glasses) in a Home Free/Texas Hill video of "Dreamer"; Tim Foust (bass) does an amazing version of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay" - that's guaranteed to blow your mind; Adam Chance has a video with his former partners Fox & Hound of Sounds of Silence; and Adam Rupp has a couple of beatboxing videos. I so appreciate that you play a video a second time and give us your insights!
Love this cover! Love Home Free! Love your reaction, and that you play it through twice. So funny how they played with the heights on the chart, from 5'0" - 6'4"! Please react to them singing "Brothers In Arms" and "How Great Thou Art".
I think Barry would appreciate Aint Goin' Down Til the Sun Comes Up. Barry, it's a fast-paced country rap (well, it's half-spoken, half-sung), with INSANE beatboxing/vocal effects.
@@carolyntaylor7 Chance is about 6'2". I've seen them backstage and he's only a bit shorter than Rob (who's 6'4"). The height charts were goofed up on purpose. Consider the source!
I'm definitely enjoying your reactions to Home Free... From one Irishman to another I should say Irish woman I enjoy watching your reactions ...you are definitely going to be a Home Fry these men are amazing.. I've been following them since the beginning so many songs to cover good luck can't wait to see your reaction to all of them..
All these guys have marvelous voices but I have to give a shout out to Tim Foust's bass. Just ... wow! I think the dishes rattled in my cupboards when he hit that LOOOOOOWWW note.
Adam beat boxer started the group with his brother Chris in 2000, Chris left for solo career, he is from Minnesota as well as Rob /tenor (glasses) , Austin/high tenor is from Georgia, Adam Chance/ baritone -bass (beard no glasses) is from Florida, and Tim /bass is from Texas. They have their own you tube music channels. Please listen to Tim Foust Will You Still Love Me/Stay. He will surprise you if you don't know his range. Love the fun they made of the height charts.
Did you notice the height chart behind them they’re all about 6 foot tall but at one point Chance is just over 5’ tall! All the guys are always 6 feet tall! Nice reaction! LlLove this solve all blues additions in this song mark!!
This diamond should be in your collection. I would like to share with you my discovery. The voice of amazing beauty, power and depth, crystal clear, I heard from a beautiful girl and was fascinated by her. Her story moved me even more. At the age of 3, this little girl was found at a bus stop with a broken collarbone and other psychological and physical injuries. The child ended up in an orphanage, where her future foster mother worked as a masseuse. The story itself is a ready-made plot for an Oscar-nominated film. This girl is now 19 years old. She has about 70 victories in various vocal competitions. If you understand what it is to sing with soul, then this is about her. Diana also has a huge army of fans, and reactions are gaining tens and hundreds of thousands of views. The total number of reactions on RU-vid to Diana is about 13 thousand.
Best choice from Diana's channel: Can’t Help Falling in Love 4.7 million views 149k likes - total 808 reactions to this performance by Diana. Total number of reactions to Diana, about 13 thousand reactions, all added to my playlists. One of the most famous hits of the king of rock 'n' roll in an unrivaled gorgeous, phenomenal performance by Diana Ankudinova ( 18 y.o.) Can’t Help Falling in Love (Elvis Presley / DARK VERSION cover)
I love your Home Free reactions, Barry. I would love to see you react to Home Free’s version of the old O’Jays song Love Train. It’s fun and playful with a good message. You look great, by the way. We need to see more of you. 😊
Perfect Johnny Cash Cover, so different. Never heard this until now. Don't think this is my favorite but comes close. I did not know my teddy bear Rob was 6' 8".😜 No Rules were broken in the posting of this comment.(In my defense).
Hi Pat! 👋🏻 Barry is such a stickler about those rules? 😂 I know we are meant to only talk about Barry but I break the rules so often now he pretty much ignores it? Well, he occasionally mentions it but most of the time I get away with it? 😂 T ✌🏻 ❤️
@@terrilabeth Thanks Terri, I think I will occasionally throw Mr. Barry a zinger. I really love to "Yank his chain" I will say this about him, he gives as good as he gets.
Pat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭 Beardy Boy is a nice man, that’s it! Well…. a talented, nice man! Well…. A funny, talented, nice man! But that’s as much as I can legally allow. No, no, no, Pat, Pat, Pat, bold, bold, bold. I don’t know what to do with yeh and all of the other T&C ignorors (👈 that’s a real word, don’t argue with me😉)
T and P the too biggest offenders when it comes to my Ts&Cs I’m shocked (not really) and appalled (not at all) by this whispering in the shadows. I don’t think I’ll ever get over this 🥹😭
I love that when you listen to the background vocals, you can tell they’re simulating train sounds. I grew up within a few miles of a railroad, could hear it at night especially, and this rendition really brought out that nostalgia for me. Great reaction, as always.
Hi Barry, loved your reaction and love this song. Their cover of an old Johnny Cash song was great. I think Johnny would have liked this version. I like when they add a little humor in their songs. They are so talented!🎶📀😻😍☘
We've got the guys in prison uniforms in prison, their HOME FREE fashion silly height charts and a gorgeous upgrade of a Johnny Cash song. What more could anybody want? I just love Adam's beat-boxing and silliness in this one too.
and if you pay attention to the back drops ie the height charts, pay attention, because all the guys are close to 6 ft or better, so the charts don't match to their real height
Hi Eveline 👋 THANK YOU VERY MUCH ❤️ for another lovely 🎉SuperThanks🎉 Yes their voices are incredible and their combined talents are too impressive. I’m so pleased that you got to hear it here first and that you enjoyed it so much. Thanks again Eveline ❤️
Hope you are OK Barry. You don't seem like yourself. Home Free should be cheering you up. When I am really down {my youngest son died very unexpectedly 11/11/20, 9 days after his 30th birthday, and it has been devastating), music has been my go-to for comfort. You being a Home Free reactor cheers me up immensely. You are so funny and entertaining. No wonder Kirsten and Mitch are both hot for your bod! I am sending positive vibes across the ocean to you. Home Free is #1 in easing my pain. I am hoping you will review their own song "Dreamer" for me. Cheers from Toronto, Canada.
There are no words of comfort I can say after such a devastating loss. I’m happy to hear you can find some comfort in music and I’m touched that you watch my channel and that I can help cheer up up. Lol yes, it’s no wonder they’re after my bod 🤣 I’m okay and thanks for the positive vibes. Right back at ya. I’m loving Home Free and I look forward to hearing and reacting to “Dreamer” I’ve added it to my list. The friendliest of greetings to lovely Canada from little old Ireland.
These guys are so multi-talented! They have it all and each member contributes their talent in so many ways. Tim showing off his super low bass, Rob showing off his soulful voice, Austin his beautiful high range, Chance has that rich texture in his voice and sings low (just not quite as low as Tim, but that is totally fine), and then Adam with his built-in vocal tool and drum kit. Their newest release (a cover) is called “Brother” and it is definitely worth your reaction. The video is epic and the song fits the video theme very well. The original song was written by the brothers in the Christian Contemporary group called NEEDTOBREATHE. A really great song that we should all take a listen to and try to live by. Home Free really showed up in this one! I really think you’ll enjoy it. It’s quite different than anything they’ve done son far.
Tim Foust (bass) has a five Octave range…..he is just amazing!They are all so wonderful individually but you put them together and it is just really something special!!!
I always love to watch reactions just to see what people say about the music - the problem I have most is when people talk over the song as it's playing. I'm Deaf and rely on the captioning, and the autocaptions have a hard enough time picking up lyrics - when people talk over them, NOTHING comes through. Lipreading doesn't always work. Just an FYI.
@@kck9742 Absolutely. My friends and I regularly share screenshots of really bad ones, and anytime I facilitate a workshop I make sure to point out the issues with automated captioning.
Hi from the Yosemite area of the beautiful Golden State Of California! I’m almost 70 years old and love your site. I wish you would listen to Nat King Cole singing “ Nature Boy”. He was the first African American to have his own television show, in 1958. THAT is a big thing. I think you would love this song. It is an anti-war song written in the 40’s. Love Grandma Debbie
So glad you reacted to this one, love your reviews, there was a LOT to this one, the guys know that the Austin/Tim contrast is beautiful and they work it well. Please check out the Wayfaring Stranger cover by Chance with The Hound and Fox.
This creative and unique cover of a classic Willie Nelson (editing because mistakenly wrote Willie Nelson instead of Johnny Cash) hit is just another example of how Home Free work their magic to polish a gem into a precious jewel. Their fabulous voices created a beautiful tapestry. Adam's creative beat boxing adds the spicy surprises. You really ought to react to Adam Rupp's drum solo video from 2015 (red shirt). It will give you an idea of his raw talent and skill, although he's only gotten better since. Love the cover. Love Home Free. Thanks for your great reaction!
@@nightthornkvala94132 You are absolutely right. I don't know why my stupid brain had me typing in Willie Nelson. Brain fart! I totally know better. lol Duh, me! Thanks for catching that!
A couple more suggestions with no beatboxing just harmonies that embody these very sad break-up songs -- 'I Can't Outrun You' and 'What We Ain't Got'. Thanks for your fine reactions.
Very interesting arrangement - I love Rob's fills, and would love to hear him have a bit more to do in this one. This is irrelevant, but are three of them 6' 4" - 6' 8"? Rob Lundquist looks like he's about 6'7" or 8"; Austin appears to be about 6' 4" and Tim looks like he's about 6' 4" also.
This is one of their songs that I can hardly breathe through. SO much going on! Every time I know for sure who I admire the most, it instantly changes!! Omg, simply (or not so simply) AMAZING!!
Please review “Auld Lange Syne”, it has tight harmonies that sends a luscious tingle down the spine. Also, one of the handful of times Adam Rupp sings instead of his super-human beatboxing!
Love Home Free. While different than Johnny's version this is actually very well done. I mean would I want a plain jane version or a new spin on a classic? I liked the new take. Thanks Barry and you are right their voices are just not fair, amazing group.
Only had a sec to leave a short msg yesterday, didn't have time to watch, just listen, but I was hollering over my work, "Barry, they have names!" 🤣 Anyhow, back to watch and catch your reaction. They filmed this during "ya know", each one at their own home. None of them are 6.8 inches tall, nor 5.0 inches, they were being their nutty self. I think Adam is so good because he can mimic anything he hears. They make the best beat boxers. You are finally seeing Tim's new short haircut. I don't like it. I like the long hair. If you cut yours, I will disown you. lol Great reaction. Love Home Free, not only are they talented, but they are also comical. Which is like our Barry. More! More!
Lol Lana, you’re mistaken these guys names are Bassy Boy, Beardy Boy, Beatboxing Boy………😂 yes I know all of their names but I’m having fun only referring to them by their “official titles” I’m guilty of this on my PTX videos and my early ABBA reactions. I noticed the charts behind them but being my PC self, I bit my tongue just in case someone could take my comment the wrong way. It was a fun idea for them to do that in the video. Yes Adam is amazing but I leaked his secret in this video. I’ve seen him carrying a big bag around with him. It’s true, it’s true, it’s true….. it’s not true. Yeah he’s unbelievable. Oh no!!!! Prepare to disown me Lana, that’s all I’ll say.
@@ItsmeBarry Sigh. My shaking fingers hovered over the keyboard pondering the necessary information my mind had to process at this single moment. Barry cut-off his long locks of love. Really? As in, ‘really-really’? No this cannot be, my brain screamed in denial. All the countless daydreams of running a hand (or two) through the silky “Look at this! Look at that!” strands of hair that glistened with more luster than I ever hoped to have. That hair? Oh! Please say it is not so. But if it is, do I disown him now or later? Pfft. Impossible! As long as he isn’t bald (and if that is the case, I’ll buy him a wig) there will still be hair enough to grab ahold of in so passionate a … Well, a girl needs something to dream about. 😁😁
@@ItsmeBarry Okay, but you have to promise to remember these words of wisdom, no matter what it looks like, rock it! You rock it like there is no tomorrow! Starting to get chills of excitement. Can't wait to meet this new Barry. (If you come out as a girl, I'm kicking your Irish arsh. I'm not into girls, remember?) 🤣🤣
@@StorytimeWithLana no chance of that happening. Although I did do the KardashiMan look a couple of times 🤔 I’m 90% gorilla so even when I regularly cut chunks off my hair it grows back before I leave the room. I’m sure it will be most noticeable on my next live stream. My hair looks short in most of my videos anyway so I’m not so sure it will be that drastic of a change for the majority of my BBs, most haven’t seen my long hair. Anyway, you mentioned bassy boy’s hair so I had a duty to fill you in 😂
If you want to hear how good Tim Foust is and hear is full vocal range check out Tim Foust Will you still love me tomorrow/Stay you will be speechless.
Hi Jan 👋 THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️ for yet another lovely 🎉SuperThanks🎉 it’s always a pleasure to see you pop up on my videos and I really appreciate your wonderful support. Thanks again Jan ❤️
When I have $ I like to share. On my grandkids it’s always for robucks. lol I love Johnny Cash. Having been brought up on country music I love it. Johnny was just different and stood out from others. I love Ring of Fire but Folsom was memorable because it started rumors of how Johnny was imprisoned there. He wasn’t but he did a concert there which I thought was so good of him! I read in the comment you posted after your last review that you might do a full song sing along one day. Q: How exciting is that idea? A: Very exciting! How would you choose which song or group? Do you have a favorite song you would love to sing? Some songs just need singing along! So what are you waiting for? Get to work singing! 😂😂 You could record it and play it like when doing a review and be live! We would love that💕 You could post an announcement first so we could be prepared to show up in droves! Loved the review on this song. The guys are amazing and whoever puts the songs together is really talented. It sounded like maybe Chris Rupp did that at one time but I’m not sure. Whoever does it is amazing, especially because the guys were separated by the lockdown. The show must go on! 🥴 You have a glorious day/evening/night and also weekend coming up. I know I don’t speak only for myself saying you brighten our day when you do a review! You just keep showing up with your sparkling & shining Irish eyes. Keep ‘em comin’! God bless you Barry! 🥰
@Jan Skaggs lucky grandkids, in more ways than one. They have my Jan for a grandma. Yes I plan on doing some sing along videos. I’ve harmonised a few times in my videos (I think the most I sang along was on this reaction ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XkzZjVYRtI8.html) I could do my own version of a song like on my ABBA cover ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RSBIakgWWWU.html I would love to do more ABBA harmony videos seeing I’m such a fan. I’d also like to jump in and sing with my a Capella acts, it’s fun to try find your spot in between so many voices, or do sing along livestreams. Who knows, we’ll see, but it will be fun for sure. I didn’t realise this was recorded during lock down they did a great job. (I had to edit this my auto correct keeps changing your name to Jen, I’m sorry about that) Thanks so much Jan. God bless you too.
@@ItsmeBarry I get so mad at auto correct but I certainly understand when things get spelled wrong. Barry! I’ve heard you sing bits and pieces of songs with the groups. However, I’ve only just heard you sing the full ABBA song. (I left a comment) You have a beautiful and clear voice! With the Internet today, you can get out there and follow a dream! I would also love to hear you add the harmony of your voice with others. I love harmony! This needs to be repeated. Your voice is beautiful and it’s also full of love for the music. Keep at it! Go for the gold! The world needs meaningful music. You know how music changes things! There is fear in our world right now but music can bring people out if the fear and give hope, help them feel love and experience joy in life! We learn more through music than any other way! I know you feel that because I see and hear it in your reactions! You have a spot between voices but also a spot for your voice alone. Don’t compare your voice to others. Use the gift God gave you - just you! Wow! I’m blown away! Keep at it! Keep sharing. We always need new voices singing! God bless you!
@@JanSkaggs I type too fast and never look it over before pressing send. More times than not my comments are gibberish until I go back and correct it 🙄 Thank you for watching my ABBA song video and leaving your comment. I agree with your view on the power of music. It’s brought us all together and I’m very grateful for that. I appreciate your words of encouragement, thank you Jan.
