So, if you're a fan of the LOTR and the Hobbit, and you are a Home Fry (what Home Free fans are called) then you need to take the plunge down yet another rabbit hole and listen to Peter Hollens and Tim Faust (the Home Free bass) singing Misty Mountain. It'll blow your mind.

The beatboxer is Adam Rupp he has two world records for beatboxing... But the bassist is Tim Foust had her has a 5 octive range. Him and Avi are friends and Tim is helping Avi get lower while Avi is helping him try to teach Tim how to be an overtone singer. Which means that Avi can access both of his vocal cords and sing two notes at different octaves at the same time. Seeing your reaction to this and bright a smile to my face because I remember sitting with my grandpa listening to The oak ridge boys on a record player! These guys are so talented that I can't wait to see your reaction to the rest of their catalog 💚 ya

Legends and legends in the making. This collaboration is about as perfect as it gets. Talent squared. And Adam, wow. Stellar vocal percussion/beat boxing. Adam is world class. He crushed this.

First of all, the Oak Ridge boys are legends. Second, every one of the Home Free are beat boxers, Adam Rupp, being the best in the world. Third, Adam Rupp also has a beautiful singing voice. And Fourth but not close to last, all of them have serious range.

The Oak Ridge Boys are an American institution (in country music), and I love that Home Free had a chance to sing with them. This is their most famous piece - and still universally loved!

Home Free did a Christmas special last month that was streamed online. The Oak Ridge Boys were one of their guests. They released the part with the Oak Ridge Boys as a video. They sang "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem", one of my favorite Christmas songs. You have the 5 Home Free guys, the 4 Oak Ridge Boys, plus an excellent solo artist named Jeffrey East. So you have 11 guys singing some amazing harmonies. I know it's after Christmas but it's worth a listen. Some other favorites are "Man of Constant Sorrow", "My Church", "Can't Stop the Feeling", "In the Blood", and, of course, as several others have mentioned, "The Butts Remix". Love your reactions.

Yay, I’m so happy to see you reacting to more Home Free ! You won’t regret it ~ !! Enjoy the Home Free rabbithole, my dear lad !

The older guys were the original ones who sang that song back in the 80s. They are the Oakridge Boys. So cool that Home Free joined them for their song!!

This was arranged by Geoff Castellucci, the bass singer for Voiceplay. You should check them out while you're down the a-cappella rabbit hole.

Old school meets new school together are amazing 😁

This song was a dream come true for Home Free! One of their inspirations as a band is the Oak Ridge Boys, so when they got to collaborate with them on their own classic country song, it was living a dream. I loved how they all signed Austin's shirt during the video. So cool! I've seen Home Free live, and they're absolutely incredible! When Tim hits those low growls, you literally can't even think. The whole theater thrums... your hair vibrates, your eyes go blurry as they distort from the sound, and your brain turns to goo. He's actually renowned for destroying subwoofers, though the sound system that night was up for it!

Thank you for reacting to Home Free and The Oakridge Boys singing "Elvira." Elvira has been one of The Oakridge Boys' best known songs and seeing Home Free collaborate with them was so much fun.

Just because you mentioned Gandalf... you should check out “Misty Mountain” by Peter Hollens featuring Tim Foust (the bass of Home Free) It’s from the Hobbit movie!

Actually named after a street believe it or not lol The Oak Ridge Boys is the best known version but it was written back in 1966

Love the chemistry they all have and you can tell they're having so much fun together! You should react to Adam Rupp drum solo! That's the beat boxer and it's unreal!

Oakridge Boys originally released "Elvira" in 1981. Both groups have five guys. And they each have massive bass and tennor voices.

My father is 76 years old and has been a Barber since 1964. The barber he worked along side back then was a famous gospel singer named Bob Thacker. He introduced my father to the Oak Ridge boys. Back then they were only singing gospel music.

Oak Ridge Boys has a long history to the group. Started in the 1940s as the Oak Ridge Quartet. They had a changing lineup until 1973. They also changed the name to Oak Ridge Boys in the late 60s. With the exception where one singer did a solo thing for 10 years in the 90s, it has been the same Country & Gospel quartet singers.

Home Free has now collaborated with at least FOUR Country music legends: The Oak Ridge Boys (twice) Lee Greenwood Kenny Rogers and Alabama. Not too shabby IMO!

Check out Adam’s beatboxing alone. He does a “intermission” style performance in the middle of HomeFree’s set when they perform...and it is awesome! I know there is a RU-vid video showing it!

Wasn’t that a blast?! The Oak Ridge Boys and Home Free really have a close bond since filming this video! They’re very similar, but they sound incredible together! I loved your reaction and so glad you gave some major credit to their super talented beatboxer!!

As an American who lives in a southern state I can't help but know a certain amount of country music. The Oak Ridge Boys and Statler Brothers were the original country music groups who for me were an introduction to the genre. For Home Free to be allowed to sing with these titans of country music is a great honor. Check out their song with Kenny Rogers. Not sure of the title, but excellent.

Man of constant sorrow! Home Free is amazing, and I love how goofy they are together :) Also, Mayday!! They have some parts switching...Tim (the bass) woke up one day and said: I think I'll sing tenor today

Saw the Oak Ridge Boys at an outdoor concert in Texas a couple of years ago and they sang in 100 degree weather for two plus hours. They are amazing

You are so sweet! Never apologize for lack of knowledge, especially when you want to spread your wings and soak up all you can... And you know this had to be a treat for Home Free! The song was made a major hit when The Oak Ridge Boys sang it... That's one of their signature songs... I bet they were giddy!

The one with the long beard is the baritone for The Oak Ridge Boys, William Lee Golden. He is 82 years old. Joe Bonsall (73) is their tenor. Their lead vocalist is Duane Allen (78) Richard Sterban (78) serves as the bass for the Oaks.

The Oak Ridge Boys are country music icons and they all just sound amazing together! They actually introduce Adam (beatboxer) in live shows as The Freak of Nature lol

This song was originally done by the older gentleman also known as the Oakridge Boys. It was very popular when it was first released.

Adam actually put this arrangement together as well. Very talented young man.

The Oakridge Boys (the older guys) are great country/bluegrass/Gospel music and Elvira is possibly their most famous song - from 1981.

Home Free are hilarious in a lot of videos (try the butts medley, champagne taste, or All about the bass). Even their concerts are hilarious. Elvira was a hit song by the OakRidge Boys from like 40 years ago. Tim (bass) has said he was so star struck to sing with them that he was flustered. ETA: if you think Adam is crazy beatboxing so far.... your head will explode in Man of Constant Sorrows. Dude is a didgeridoo or mouth harp or something crazy. (I’ve been corrected that Adam Chance did the didgeridoo type sound. Not to be confused with Adam Rupp who is the beat boxer).

Elvira is a classic country song by the Oak Ridge Boys and so good to see Home Free pay the respects by having them sing their song with them!...also Adam is an amazing beat boxer you should check out "drum Solo" he really shows off his talents live in concert

Elvira ( a woman's name) was a big hit in 1979 for the Oak Ridge Boys and Home free wanted to do a collab with the old time stars and here they are

Elvira is originally sang by the Oak Ridge Boys...who are guesting in this vid. I love how Richard Stuban (ORB's bass) is like watch this young man...and Tim Foust (HF's bass) is like, "Oh yeah...watch this...gold my beef."

Yeah, another Home Free video! Awesome choice. This song was a hit with the Oakridge Boys when I was in high school, yep that long ago! You can see the mutual admiration between the "veterans" and the "newbies". Adam (the beat boxer) is amazing. His "drum solo" videos are so awesome! He gets better and better as he develops his craft over the years.

Home Free, there's just no limits to their abilities, any song you try will be a win.

The Oak Ridge Boys are in their 70’s and they still got it!!

Yes sir, the Oak Ridge Boys are Country/Gospel legends they started(not these gentlemen of course) as a church singing Gospel Quartet but became country then country pop starts in the 1980's with this, their biggest hit. I believe they are all in their mid to late 60's and can still sing !! React next to a nichill ORIGINAL song by Home Free, *Dive Bar Saints* I think you'll enjoy the chill time but its a very catch tune too.

My Home Free favorites right now are "Man of Constant Sorrow" and "Folsum Prison Blues"

When I went to one of their concerts, they did this song and made it a lot of fun for the audience.

You should listen to Home Free - Man of Constant Sorrow soon! You should see what the beatboxer does with his mouth.

The Oakridge Boys are a legend in country music. Listen to some of their stuff and broaden you horizons.

please wait to do Mayday until you know each of them by name. It is a wonderful and surprising song but better if you know everyone first.

The Oak Ridge boys did it first, a big hit. That they joined Home Free with this is amazing. If you want to hear the master beat box go nuts, check out. Man of constant sorrow

LOVE your reaction. Your degree of appreciation is pretty standard for Home Free. Most people are blown away by them. I don't know how the beatboxer does what he does. Apparently he doesn't need to breath.

When I first listened to Home Free (with both this and their current mix of group members), I remember thinking randomly, "Boy, it sure would be fun to hear them sing 'Elvira'," because their bass was the best I had heard in a while. I was thrilled when they actually did it, and Tim did not disappoint! Geoff Castalucci (the bass from VoicePlay) actually arranged this and he did an excellent job of showcasing each person with some real innovation in each segment to meld the two groups into one cohesive, awesome performance. I agree that, while I love Kevin (Pentatonix) and Layne (VoicePlay), Adam Rupp's beatboxing is some of the best. He has won several competitions. If you look around on RU-vid, there is more than one video of him doing beatbox solo work. He usually does about a 5-10 minute solo during their shows. I also am astounded that a person can make all of those sounds; if I'm not watching him. My ear is not good enough to tell which is beatboxing and which would be an actual drum kit. Adam is incredible and his percussion (along with Tim and Chance's bass) can shake every seat in the venue. Actually, if you look really hard, you can probably even find a clip of show where they all took turns beatboxing. If Adam sings, I think Rob usually covers the beatboxing but they can all hold their own. Loved your reaction. Keep that Home Free coming!

You’ll find us HOME FRIES are a great bunch. We LOVE them & their music!!! You do their stuff & you’ll find a lot of support !!! “THINKING OUT LOUD”...not country, but Austin, the high tenor is the lead. In this one, & done in ONE TAKE 🙃‼️ AWESOME !!!

Many have seen this as generational passing the torch.

The Oaks became friends & mentors after ding this collaboration!! Listen to HF latest collaboration “Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem”!., This was a hit for the Oaks back in the ‘80s! It’s so much fun to see HF getting schooled by the Oaks!! Old & young generations!! Great respect between them!! Really nice reaction!!

Love Home Free! I discovered them during the pandemic and fell in love. They can sing almost anything and not just country. All talented singers. The beatboxer is amazing. Look for Adam Rupp drum solo video and you’ll see him. Try End of the Road, Helplessly Hoping, Country Roads, I Can’t Outrun You for more good harmonies. Keep reacting!

The Oak Ridge Boys are a country legend! Home Free while doing crossover genres are primarily a country A cappella group. They won the Sing Off the following year after Pentatonix. While a religious staple, their version of How Great Thou Art is both a musical and visual treat to the ears and eyes. Check out their version of Man of Constant Sorrow for some awesome beat boxing. However, when it comes to beat boxing, you seriously need to check out Adam Rupp doing his drum solo! It's incredible and amazing what he can do beat boxing. Love your reactions!

Love his facial expressions. And his reactions, I almost snorted beer out of my nose...

Home Free members also often work individually with other artists. One prime example is Austin Brown (high tenor) doing Unchained Melody with guitarist Steven Martinez. I swear Austin is channeling the late Bobby Hatfield.

Thr Oak Ridge Boys were one of my grandfather's favorites. Elvira and several other songs were played on repeat in his house. I have his Oak Eidge Boys vinyl, and now 40 years later, we are seeing them perform with Home Free. So fun! Check out Folsom Prison Blues. They covered that Johnny Cash song during quarantine. It is awesome.

I used to listen to the Oak Ridge Boys all the time as a kid with my parents (one of the few old country groups/singers I can tolerate)! This is my first time seeing this video. It's so funny! You're such a youngin, you probably wouldn't know the character known as Elvira. Don't know if that's who they're singing about, but that's what I always thought growing up.

Its a thrill to watch Home Free, I do love them. The beatboxer Adam Rupp does a session live in concert for about 15- 20 mins and there are videos on line to watch. Totally impressive. Thank you 💕 for another fun and interesting reaction.

I am such a fan of Home Free. They are all the best at what they do.

The older gentleman who is singing bass as well is Richard Sterban, and he was with Elvis for a few years and did a damn fine job too. Just a little fun fact for ya.

I'm so glad you chose one of my favorite covers!

I'm really enjoying your reactions to Home Free videos. Thank you, you have made my day.

I discovered Home Free a couple of years after you, so I'm catching up. But this was a fun reaction. I like your style and sense of humor.

New sub here! I have really enjoyed your reactions to your first two Home Free videos. Looking forward to more as you discover more about them!

This was awesome!! All the harmonies and Adams beatboxing! If you haven’t already watch Adam Rupp drum solo…it will blow your mind❤ I love Home Free😊

Home Free is so great they have a lot of awesome videos. Check out “Mayday” and How Great thou Art also.

Didn't see this in the immediate comments, so here's what I've heard. Supposedly, Elvira's the name of the hostess on one of the very very old TV shows. The songwriter, and many other guys had a huge crush on her. :)

Adam Rupp (beatboxer) is brilliant! Check out “Do you hear what I hear” by Home Free for his epic arrangement! 🔥

Great reaction - such a cool quality for a Man to admit he doesn't know everything - well done!

Love your reaction to these guys!! Please react to a lot of Home Free!! You haven’t even scratched the surface! Tim Faust, the bass, is known as a human subwoofer. In fact there is a video of him blowing out a speaker!

This was one of the Oak Ridge Boys major hits way back when

Love your humble style. You're learning as you go! lol. So many great songs ahead if you take the Home Free journey. We fans love them and are super loyal! Depends what you like, they have them all, fun, hilarious, crazy, serious, they collaborate with others like this one with the great Oakridge Boys, who can see are a lot older. Try the one they did with Kenny Rogers, the great country singer (The Gambler was one of his) and the one I Iove they do with him is Children Go Where I Send Thee. But be sure to watch Hillbilly Bone and Can't Stop the Feelin. and to see more of what beat boxer Adam Rupp does, watch a live performance of Adam Rupp Drum Solo they usually call the videos. In the live shows he does 7-9 mins in the middle just taking the audience to new levels of excitement and leaving you shaking your head what h can do! Take care.

New sub here for your HF journey. It's cold where I am in Canada so I am here for all the content you are capable of producing. have fun!!

Lol you're funnu. Love both reactions. I just subscribed.

This was one of the first collaboration videos with The Oak Ridge Boys.. (a legendary Country group.. One of their big hits was... Elvira. They are the older guys and sang with Home Free on HF's Christmas special.. song: Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem. with Jeffrey East) Rob.. the bearded one with glasses from Home Free compared his beard with the ORB bearded wonder...not Gandalf although the comparison is a great one!) Thanks! Philadelphia Pennsylvania Home Fry here...

I'm PRETTY sure Elvira was a street in Nashville. I'm guessing it provided a lot of great memories aka shows, partying at bars, etc.

There are two different videos of Adam Rupp doing a "drum solo" Both are awesome, and I forget what one has the rest of the group coming in at the end & showing that Adam taught them all to beatbox.

have to do Adam Rupp drum solo{ the beat boxer}

I love that they did this with the original band

This song sung by the Oak Ridge Boys was popular in the 70s.

There's so much home free to react to, and I haven't decided on a favorite. I like them all so much. Maybe you would like their cover of Mayday, The Butts Remix, Man of Constant Sorrow, How Great Thou Art, or End of the Road. To see Adam Beatbox like a boss try Home Free Adam Rupp Beatbox Solo!!! You will have a "mind-blown" moment with that guaranteed!!!! LOL

You would love the butts remix. Home free is a group that is awesome and they also have a great sense of humor. They have a lot of fun together. You can tell.

If you ever decide to do the Home Free Sing Off competition videos, you'll get a taste of what other professional singers thought of them. But if you do, make sure you keep the judges remarks in, they really loved these guys. ❤

You must react to Home Frees Adam Rupp’s “Drum Solo” it will blow your mind, Adam is also two time champion Beatboxer.

Adam Rupp the beatboxer has won a lot of awards for his skills!!! You should check out his drum solo

So fun to watch your reactions!

The beat is so important to Home Free's arrangements. And this arrangement is so wonderful - better than the Oak Ridge Boy's own classic version.

You need to check out chris rupp he did a behind scene video of making this even in your own time. (Chris was in home free) his brother Adam is the beatboxer.

THe song was referring to a fictional woman. It became such a hit that the joke became that Elvira had bought them all a house.

The guy with the really long beard is William Lee Golden, a name that, in my opinion, really suits him :)

I had not seen that before. I loved it.

the older men singing with Home Free is the original country artist.

Elvira is a song but Google it because there is a woman named Elvira.... and she used to be in the original video done by the Oakridge Boys back in like the 80's.....

The guy with the cowboy hat and beard is William Lee Golden

Just for your own edification, I'd really recommend you have a listen to the original by the Oak Ridge Boys. It'll give you a bit of context for this one, which is amazing! Great reaction :)

This is an original song sung by The Oak Ridge Boys.

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, a late night horror show hostess. This song is not written about her but check her out!!

There's a video shot at a Home Free lives show in which the beat boxer, Adam , does a solo drum routine. Sans drums of course. You're doing well, keep going!

A bit like the Oakridge Boys were passing the torch to the young bucks. What a thrill for Home Free. I agree, Adam Rupp is so good I forget he is not a machine.

Home Free at the Sing Off show. They got bored touring, they joined a singing contest. Can you do a reaction?

Try not to pause when the intensity is building, because it interrupts the flow into some big moments... Bayo has some innate talent for pausing it in the biggest moments! Love him though
