Not only is he the best beatboxer out there, his bass vocal chops are as good as Tim's, and his vocal range is the widest in the whole group. If he wasn't doing Beatboxing he could easily lay down foundational bass just like Tim, and sometimes you do get to hear it. It's hard to tell it's not Tim though . . .
Tim Foust (the deep bass singer) has a video with the adorable, talented red head Austin Brown on AB's channel where they sing "My Maria". Tim actually sings the high notes for the line, "my Mariiiiaaa". He has amazing range.
@@janhankins911 I don't think Geoff has actually got as good a range. Apparently subharmonics, which Geoff does better than even Tim, are actually performed an octave higher than they sound like they are at. Not sure how it works but that's basically how it was explained in another video I watched. So yes he hits crazy lows aurally, but vocally it's not as low as Tim can go with a growl.
I think we’re gonna have to use the mayday protocol with my Maria, because if the reactors don’t know who’s who they won’t get what’s so amazing about it.
Yes, I recommend this highly. Adam Rupp (the beat boxer) actually signs here (no beat boxing in "How Great Thou Art"). It's filmed in the Austrian Alps and the scenery is just "heavenly". If I picture what heaven looks like, the scenery I see in this cover comes pretty close to it.
@@annkline6183 Chance gets to shine in other songs. The guys all vote on whose voice is best suited for not only the song, but even the individual verses within songs. Sometimes they allow one person to really shine -- like When a Man Loves a Woman -- quite often they do let everyone have a verse or two to shine in. Just depends on the song. I, too, love hearing Chance sing lead. Truthfully, I enjoy hearing ALL of them do so. Since Adam so rarely sings, it's a real treat to hear him do so (like his line in How Great Thou Art).
@@sandym6760 I'm responding to the other comment that they ALL have a solo, & they All don't. That's all I'm saying. I know how the song choices are made, thanks.
Chance (Adam Chance), dark vest, sings baritone, covers bass when Tim is on a solo and did the Jew's Harp sound. Tim Foust, obviously bass with surprises. Adam Rupp, wife beater shirt and dark suspenders, "percussion", "harmonica", "record crackle" and sometimes tenor. Austin Brown, light shirt and medium red/brown vest, tenor with a darker tone and initial lead on this song. Rob Lundquist, overalls and full beard, tenor with a brighter tone.
Well done Martin. I hope Barry reads your excellent guide to Home Free's "Man of Constant Sorrow" 101. Barry needs to learn their names and what each of them they do because they are so extremely skilled, versatile and seamless in transition they make everything sound easy, with their laid-back style.
@@sallyintucson Yeah, I think the British call it a vest. The U.S. underwear companies call it an A-Shirt, probably because it is kind of A shaped with the missing sleeves. Hollywood movies commonly presented abusive husbands as overweight and wearing a simple white tank top, so it picked up the ugly name and was sort of symbolic, like the bad cowboy in the black hat. There's a lot of terminology from the 1940's-1970s that is a bit crude. For example, look up the mnemonic for the electronics "resistor code". It has 2 versions : the rude and the rude+racist.
Oh Barry. You are a hoot and a half. This was filmed in Fairhope, Alabama, USA where my mama was born. That archway of oak trees is called Oak Alley. Some of the branches lean all the way over and are so heavy they brace on the ground. Each tree is a tiny ecosystem with it's own ferns, lychins, bugs, critters. That is a farely common thing in the USA South. Pensacola, Florida (my birth place) and Mobile, Alabama both have amazing Oak Alley's as well as most old plantation properties. These guys are just rediculously talented. Love your reactions.
Freada, Loved that! "You are a hoot and a half"!! You can say that again. This is only my 2nd time of hearing Barry, but he is great! "Get your restraining orders ready" made me LOL! I love his reactions when he likes something. The straight stare into the camera is intimate joy--we are both feeling the song! Thanks Barry. You're in Scotland, but we are kin!
Hi, Freada! Old Daphne, AL boy here (went to High School in Fairhope!) Thanks for telling us about the filming of this video... It's so nice to hear anything about my old home digs!
Barry you're gonna love these guys...they can be serious, and also goofy too. They have covers & originals. Enjoy your ride down the Rabbit Hole of Home Free it'll be fun !! Look next to react to their cover of "End of the road" by Boyz2Men....they go from bluesy country in this one to sultry R&B singers with a slight country twist in End of the road
definitely the next should be End of the Road, where we can focus on Tim more and if he hasn't heard it, Barry should try their cover of Folsom Prison Blues. I'm new to his channel but has he heard of Voiceplay yet (jus tone more rabbithole to explore)
I agree! Home Free, PTX, and Voice Play are all exceedingly talented, each in their own way. And I love how there's never any sniping between the groups. They realize there's room for all of them especially since they all have totally different sounds.
I agree. Each of the 5 a capella artists I love (Ptx, HF, VP, Voctave, and Peter Hollens) are all so different but each is so wonderful. I'm always so surprised how few people have heard Voctave and Peter Hollens. If you like Ptx, HF, and VP, you should try Voctave and Peter Hollens. My absolute favorite of all time is Voctave's "Disney Princess Medley". It's just wonderful--both musically and it really demonstrates how far women have come (waiting for the knight in shining armor to ride up and carry them off to a castle to women going out and fighting battles). As for Peter Hollens I recommend his collaboration with Tim Foust called "Misty Mountains" (from the movie "The Hobbit") and his collaboration with the entirety of Home Free on "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".
@@janhankins911 I know both groups. I like Peter Hollens. "Black is the Color" and "Misty Mountains" are my fav. I can't tell why, but Voctave doesn't get me.
@@janhankins911 I really enjoyed "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". Absolutely amazing song created during Covid isolation. Just imagine the work involved after the singing is all sent in.
Yaaay! The Barry Bus is traveling down a very deep and diverse rabbit hole! PLEASE don't do MAYDAY until you get a good feel for the members and their parts in the group. I promise it'll be worth the wait. Done too early it isn't appreciated nearly as much. To give you a range of their sound I'd recommend Helplessly Hoping and How Great Thou Art for phenomenal 5 part harmonies. The Butt's Medley and Country Fried Pop for humor. End of the Road and Blue Ain't Your Color give you some great sounds and show their versatility. And fair warning, Home Fries are as loyal as Pentaholics. You'll find that there are many crossover fans and the Home Fries will be here in droves when they see you're reacting to Home Free. And I'm sure they'll love you and your reaction style! Thank you for getting into Home Free! ❤
I started listening to RU-vid because of Pentatonix. But after a suggestion of try listening to Home Free another acapella group. Well after my first Home Free I was hooked and now.....they are my go to acapella grouo. Not that Pentatonix are bad its just.....well the richness of these five guys harmonises sooth my soul.
Well, if you get attached to performers...Home Free is the best to attach to! Lol. They interact A LOT with their fans. And they constantly change up who is the lead for a song so you never know what to expect. And why not since they all have amazing voices!!! Have fun with the rabbit hole! It easily can become an obsession!
Technically they originated 115 miles (185 kilometers) from me, so I’m claiming them as my own! Plus, I’ve seen them 3 times in concert and can’t wait to add more!!!
Tim Foust...bassy boy...will blow yer socks offf..........trust me he can go lower.......Mayday shows his phenomenal range...How Great thou art, Sea Shanty, Elivira, Misty Mountains...I can go on and on! I know you are just getting started with HomeFree....Voiceplay is great too!!!!
This group is not from Alabama, but the video was filmed in my beloved state, "way down South" as we say here. Alabama on it's southern tip is the gulf of Mexico and miles of beaches. Travel more north and you have vast fields of land with crops of cotton and much more growing. When you get to my area, the land is becoming quite hilly with lots of forests, rivers, creeks, and streams. A bit north and north east and you will find mountainous with boulders, and apple orchards. Alabama is just below Tennessee where Avi lives. By the time you get to his area, the forests are dense, deep and the mountains are much higher. Avi lives deep in the forests in a quiet place, far from people. Hope to hear much more of Home Free from you! Always love your work.
In complete contrast to this, you should react to Home Free doing Bring Him Home from Les Miserables. It's the same lead singer, Austin, and he will blow you away. Thank you for this and I will subscribe for more Home Free reviews. Cheers!
I am laughing out loud at your reaction to their really versatile voices. First: Chance was the one with the "digeridoo" sound which actually is that of a mouth harp or "Jews Harp". Second: As you probably know by now, Tim Foust, the "bassie man", has a 5+octave range. If you haven't heard it yet, maybe you would like to hear Tim sing "Over The Misty Mountains Cold" with Peter Hollens. It will give you bone deep chills. As always, love you, love your thoughts. Be safe. Till next time.
A Cappella is finally getting the attention it deserves! Pretty much anyone can learn to play and instrument but voices are something different. Home Free is incredibly talented, and this song doesn't even have Austin's highest or Tim's lowest range. Pentatonix was the first well known a cappella group and VoicePlay rounds out the top three. If you want a good idea of what VoicePlay can do try Hoist the Colours. They're a lot more theatrical than Home Free but have the same depth of sound--their bass also has a 5 octave range.
Great reaction! Welcome to your Home Free journey! So much great music to choose from! These 5 guys are individually great talents. Collectively. As Home Free are phenomenal! They are classified as country artist, but do all different genres of music. They share lead singing duties on different songs. And their beat boxer/ vocal percussionist Adam Rupp is the best!!! Pick any song in their arsenal and you will not be disappointed. And us Home Fries will be here! Thank you for your reaction!
This is one of my favorite Home Free Videos! Bassie boy, aka Tim Foust, is incredible. His range is 5 octaves. Mr. Dungarees is Rob Lundquist. A wonderful clear tenor. Lead singer for this video is Austin Brown, a fantastic high tenor with a great range. Next is Adam Chance aka “Chance” to the fans. A great baritone with low range. He often sings bass with Tim. Last, but far from least, is the other Adam. Adam Rupp is often called the human drum kit. His beat-boxing is out of this world. Home Free won the American TV show “The Sing Off” which showcased acapella groups, the year after Pentatonix. You are going to love everything they do!
Barry, did you notice that Austin (the lead singer here) was doing a VERY country thing, a little half-yodel during some phrases toward the end of the song? It makes the song for many of us US southerners. :)
Awwwww a new rabbit hole!!!! Hehehe 😂 can’t wait 😜… I love their beatboxer and his harmonica ( all just his voice) Hmmmm our Barry with Austin’s hair style 😂😀😀 After this rabbit hole you should take a jump into the VoicePlay rabbit hole 😂😀😀😀 you will absolutely love them with their theatrical songs and awesome bass singer
Not enough people talk about the harmonica. Which is a crazy difficult instrument to play well as an instrument, I'm not sure how Adam does it only with his voice.
That number was in the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou? A must see movie staring George Clooney, in a role you don't typically see him perform. I'd be interested in your thoughts about the movie. Enjoy!
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole, with a catalogue of over 130 videos, covers, original songs, and live concert shows. Hope you continue reacting to them.
I am always on the look out for new Home Free reactors. Brand new subscriber here and am looking forward to join you in your Home Free journey !!!! It will be so much fun, I would like to request one of their newer videos "Bless The Broken Road". They do an Amazing complicated arrangement with superior vocal skills, it is just Great. Thanks for a fun reaction .
Home Free is the real deal. They won the NBC show the Sing Off in 2013. They are all tremendous singers. One change in the last 5 years. Chris Rupp (not in this video) was the tenor/baritone and founder with his brother Adam Rupp (beatboxer). He is in earlier videos with a cowboy hat or baseball cap. He left in 2016 to go solo. He was replaced by Adam Chance in the back row. Adam Rupp is the beatboxer. He’s amazing. Yes, he was doing the harmonica without a harmonica. Chance was doing the mouth harp sound (didgeridoo). Front row: Rob Lundquist (beard and glasses) tenor. Austin Brown (reddish hair) high tenor. Tim Foust (long dark hair) bass. Tim has a 5 octave range so he can sing super low and sing up in the tenor range…not kidding. 3 of the boys are from the south. The other two are from Minnesota. They sing country but sing all genres. They sing a lot of covers but also write and sing their own stuff. Helplessly Hoping, Yours, I Can’t Outrun You, What We Ain’t Got, to hear more great harmonies. Good reaction Barry!
Just saw this pop up cause Home Free was on it and I'm a Home Fry. Welcome to the HF rabbit hole. They each can lead they switch it around according to who suits best. Accent Austin spent years Getting rid of it. No instruments, each one can do a little beatboxing.
You haven’t even gotten to started! This is a very deep rabbit hole that you are entering …… 👍🏼🤣. Welcome!! They have well over 130 videos for you to react to. All sounds are made with the human voice, absolutely no instruments. Austin (the lead in this song) is from Georgia. He is a true southern boy, therefore the accent. The crackling sound at the beginning and end is to replicate the sound of an album on a record player…yep, I’m old. These guys have yet to do anything that isn’t great. Basie boy (Tim) has a five octave range and has blown sound systems, but he can also sing tenor!
Stalk away -- they have many videos and each one is a new surprise! They never get old cuz they change it up constantly. Welcome to the Home Fry club! 🤩
I had no idea you had not watched Home Free! Wow! You are about to go into the squirrels nest that is Home Free (Full of Nutz)! You are in for a treat! Oh, which one to do next!!!
Been waiting for you to get back to Home Free! Loved your review & reaction and look forward to watching your journey down their very deep rabbit hole!
Just wait for another accapala group, Voiceplay. They have their own unique style. They love to be more theatrical, but still absolutely amazing & their Bass is just on another level.
A much younger Austin (1st to sing here) was the one singing the high tenor solo in the beginning of Ring of Fire. You have the mainstream/pop with PTX now the country/Americana with Home Free. The only group left is the theater kids VoicePlay in the A Capella top 3. Voiceplay Oogie Boogie Song shows off their epic bass.
Barry, you are so much fun to watch/listen to! I nominate you and your channel as the best reaction site on the internet, (and outernet when that happens). You could make a living off of Home Free and Pentatonix. Thank you!
Dear Barry ☘️ this is your funniest reaction to date. I cannot believe the harmonica and the didgeridoo sounds are not the instruments themselves. And you so love the bassy boys 😍. Yes, some videos require double showings, and always a treat.
Hi Barry, First singer, Austin Brown, high tenor, second singer(overalls) Rob Lundquist, lead tenor, Beatboxer extraordinaire, Adam Rupp, Bassy boy, Tim Foust, basso Profundo, 5 octave range, he gets as low as A0, so this is just playing at it for him. Which leaves didgeridoo, jaws harp guy, Adam Chance, baritone with 4 octave range. Hope this helps a bit.
They are great!!!! I have already played the video 3 times (therefore, I have watched it 6 times!). I like them! Me gustan! I like the accent, I like country (it's so different from our Celtic music ...). Beautiful voices. I want more!
Loved your reaction!!! Home Free is totally different than anyone else.. They don't usually look like that, they dressed for the song... Check out When A Man Loves A Woman, Do You Hear What I Hear, In The Blood and there are so many more.
that crazy Nose whistle that sounds like a harmonica man I had to watch that video four times before I realized that man don't have no harmonica he ain't playing no instrument it's him 🤯 just wow 🤯 Sooo Amazing 🥰😍❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Go ahead and get attached, join the club, the more ya listen the more ya love, nary a stinker in their sizeable catalog. Looking forward to many more fine reactions. Nicely done lad.
It is about time that you came back to Home Free. These guys are fabulous. They are my favorite a cappella group hands down. I know you have done tons of PTX but you need to give these guys a fair shot. They lean towards country but can do any genre. Tim Foust is a natural bass who can go super low, but can also sing up into the tenor range if he wants. And Adam Rupp their vocal percussionist beatboxer extraordinaire can replicate almost any sound. He is the best out there. Enjoy the ride into Home Free's talent.
There is still one more A Capella group that you need to hear, Voiceplay. They frequently have a guest singer join the productions. May I suggest "My Mother Told Me" or perhaps "Little Mermaid Medley".
I love how your descriptions are comical and even derogatory sometimes but your obviously gob-smacked sincerity is always light-hearted and contagious.
Barry, Barry, Barry... Welcome to the fans. I love this band. All the sounds you hear are made by human voices and mouths. I highly recommend you listen their songs "When a man loves a woman", "End of the road", "Elvira", "Folsom prison blues", "Workin' for a livin' "... And of course, Voiceplay-another rabbit hole :)
