If you want to hear them sing old school gospel, they have an incredible rendition of “How Great Thou Art” - their voices are angelic and the video (shot in Europe) is incredible!!
@@marlenekloth4734 Excellent performance. I just compared the studio version and they are very similar, but the live 'Hosanna' performance is noteworthy for showing they can do this stuff live and is very approachable.
You seriously need to check out BROTHERS IN ARMS by Home Free. True honor to those who served and laid their lives down. You really need to play this one!!!!!
Home Free's rendition of "How Great Thou Art" is stunning. Phenomenal harmonies amid a spectacular setting. Everyone with a soul will feel the spirit, religious or not. Also, with the Christmas season check out some of their Christmas music. Highly recommend "O Holy Night" and "Do You Hear What I Hear". New sub here.
And.. that's why we wanted you to hear this one. LoL. Great reaction! Gospel? I think " How Great Thou Art " is one of the most beautiful songs they've ever preformed. Their cover of " My Church " ( brings back memories of my grandma singing old time Gospels) is on my main Playlist. and I'm not really religious, but I can appreciate fantastic musical talent.
Oh yeah... all those listed songs (Children Go Where I Send Thee and How Great Thou Art, especially!) plus the Christmas carol: Do You Hear What I Hear is an absolute must. Nothing else like it. Arranged by the beatboxer Adam Rupp. Then, O Holy Night and Angels We Have Heard On High. Both heavenly 5-part harmony. Enjoying your HF reactions!
These guys do an amazing job of this song! They can do any genre including R&B. Rob's voice has so much feeling & soul in it. Austin adding his higher tones, Chance is holding down the bass in the back, Tim adding some deeper bass notes & Adam with his fabulous vocal percussion. These guys are my favorite a cappella group out there. Shawn Stockman from Boyz II Men was one of the judges on the "Sing Off" that Home Free won & he was a big fan of these guys from the start. I'm sure he loved their version of this song.
Gospel Rob, when he gets in the zone, ear-gasms. If you want to hear some gospel, check out Children, Go Where I Send Thee with Kenny Rogers. It's like going to church!
How about How Great Thou Art or Amazing Grace. They did a video of How Great Thou Art in the Swiss Alps on their world tour which was abruptly ended due to covid.
I love Boyz II Men and have played End of the Road so many times. I never thought I'd ever like a cover of this song. But Home Free did it, while maintaining the respect for the original. How wonderfully sung by all! But for me it is mainly Rob who nailed it. What a great voice with so much soul in it. He touches me deep inside. Of course it is the combination of the other leads, fantastic harmony, bone-feeling bassline and the inhuman vocal percussion that makes it complete. The best A-Cappella group for me!!
How Great Thou Art, and Amazing Grace featuring Peter Hollens, both fantastic. The group is very versitile. They will interchange parts on any given song. They are the best of the best.
Tim Foust=bass Rob Lunquist=tenor Adam Chance=baritone Austin Brown=high tenor Adam Rupp=beatboxer (he can make any sound!) Great reaction 🎉 I love Home Free😊
My favorite reduction of How Great Thou Art. My oldest living sister(mid 80's), who spends at least 3 days in church, praised them for how they did that song.
Ooh! You want gospel??? Yes! Home Free featuring Kenny Rogers, Children go where I send Thee. And Home Free with Peter Hollens Amazing Grace. And Home Free How Great Thou Art, and there's more, but I'd start with those.
This is one of my favorite songs but one of my favorite Boyz II Men songs. Home free, even if they don't tweak it up, takes a song and makes it their own but you still love and appreciate the original. I'm so glad they covered this song and I'd love to know what Sean Stockman thought of this, he was one of Home Free's biggest fans when they were on the Sing Off. "How Great Thou Art" is out of this world!!! They filmed it a while ago when they were in Austria and between the song itself, their amazing voices - and Adam (the beatboxer) has a start in it and you get to hear the purity of his voice - and the absolute beauty of God's handiwork in those Austrian mountains make it one you shouldn't miss. They also do "Do You Hear What I Hear" which Adam arranged.
I was blessed they came to my area and got to see them live. They are even better live. It was the best Party, as they call it, not just a concert. They are all truly gifted individually but when they come together.... MAGIC ❤
Someone's probably already said this.. but to get the true versatility of the group, check out "The Butts Medley" and "Brother In Arms". Both will have you crying, but in completely different ways. Great reactions, can't wait for more 😃
They killed this. When they were on the NBC show the Sing Off (they won in 2013) Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men was a judge and he loved them. I think they did justice to the song. Tim Foust is the bass and has a 5 octave range so he can sing super low and then sing high up with the tenors. Rob (lead here) killed it. We call him “gospel Rob”. Try Children Go Where I Send Thee (with Kenny Rogers), Blue Ain’t Your Color (a little more bluesy), How Great Thou Art, Mary Did You Know. So many good songs. Lots of covers but they also write and sing their own music too. Playing with Fire is a new one that’s so good. Good reaction!😍
"How Great Thou Art", "Children, Go Where I Send Thee", and even their cover of "Take Me Home Country Roads" all have a different kind of gospel feel and/or influence. Each is ridiculously good. Loving the reactions ~ thanks. 🍟
Hi Quin Glad you are enjoying our guys! Yes, us home fries know they are special For you I would recommend their covers of Blue ain’t your color when a Man loves a woman Thinking out loud/ let’s get it on And their infamous “Butts Remix”
HOME FREE is Adam Rupp, (co-founder, a D & D Cleric from Minnesota) the incredible phenomenal Freak of Nature, a.k.a Spitter or The Machine. “Nomonica” and “lots of other instruments” Beatboxer, Tenor (Adam) Chance, (replaced Chris Rupp in 2016, A Mandalorian orig from Alabama/Florida now lives in CA) He is the delightful buttery smooth Charming Crooner, “jaw harp” and “other instruments” Baritone/Bass Austin Brown, (skinny jeans, an Elvin Lord orig from Georgia now lives in Tennessee) Sweet slender sassy Badass “Some Nomonica” and “other instruments” Musical Theatre background Those runs though! Goodness Gracious! High Tenor Rob Lundguist, (a Teddy Bear Braveheart, from Minnesota) the sweet soulful Bearded Wonder, Operatic background Whistler Extraordinaire Tenor Tim Foust, (a “two things” Black Knight, The Dude, Bass Face, The Dragons Breath orig from Texas now lives in Tennessee) the intense 5 octave playful subwoofer Breaks speakers Bass Along with Darren Rust, “magic man” producer Jimmy Bates, master of video technique, owned by Dexter Also their excellent stalwart crew Chris, Kait, Cam, Abe and Neil Chris Rupp, (hat guy, from Minnesota) Retired founding member, Adam’s brother, doing his own channel now Excellent arranger full gentle chivalrous artist Baritone/Bass
I have always love this by B2M but I have to say I love this cover more!, so good. Their talent is so above every other a cappella group out there and I truly mean no disrespect but it’s just the truth.
the bass is Tim Foust. He has been known to break speakers performing live. check out ring of fire . a johnny cash cover. you will not believe the low notes he hits.
I can never fathom that there are no instruments on this. There is a constant ringing sound throughout this that I cannot figure out how they are making. Of course that’s on most of their songs! Rob was unbelievable on this song. Every person is my favorite in this group.😂😊🎉
Try "Butt Medley", "Ring Of Fire" (ft. Avi Kaplan for lots of bass), "What We Ain't Got", "Listen To The Music" and "Elvira" (with The Oak Ridge Boys, the original singers of the song).
For Gospel definitely "How Great Thou Art" which is beautiful, and "Children Go Where I Send Thee" which features the late Kenny Rogers. Great reaction. Liked and subscribed.
If you want more of Tim’s incredible Bass, check out Misty Mountains by Peter Holden’s, featuring Tim Foust. Shot during COVID, they were in two separate locations. Peter sings all of the higher parts, then layers them in the studio (sometimes more than 100 tracks). Then Tim comes in with his phenomenal Bass. Pay close attention to the LAST note! I have NO doubt that you will LOVE it!!!
Gospel? They do one you learned a LONG time ago that will blow your mind. Filmed in the Austrian Alps and it's as beautiful as that song you know. How Great Thou Art. They also do some great Christmas songs as well!
New sub here! I'm another Home Fry - welcome to the club!! I subbed after watching your reaction to Man of Constant Sorrow, and this is my second. I love your reactions! It's obvious how much you love good music! You want gospel? Four words - How Great Thou Art. An absolutely stunning arrangement filmed in the Austrian Alps a few years ago. Can't wait to see your reaction to it!
Wonderful reaction! Your joy is palpable! For old gospel I recommend HF with country giant, Kenny Rogers singing the classic Spiritual, “ Children Go Where I Send Thee”. It slaps big time!
Closest to real gospel might be Kenny Rogers/Home Free “Children Go Where I Send Thee” or Texas Hill/Home Free “Go Tell It On the Mountain”. Please consider the mashup of Thinking Out Loud/Let’s Get It On. 💜
Great reaction, they sing several gospel songs. How Great Thou Art, Amazing Grace, Do You Hear What I Hear, Mary, Did You Know, O Holy Night , Beautiful Star of Bethlehem and Children, Go Where I Send Thee. A couple are Christmas but all amazing.
Loved the joy that this reaction brought to you! Like most of us Home Fries, it’s hard not to grin from ear to ear! New 🇨🇦 Sub, here to ride-along on your journey down this fantastic rabbit hole. Their catalogue is deep and varied with many genres (beyond the country lane many want to box them into). Beyond their wonderful covers (we call them upgrades), they are always very generous with their collaborations making sure to have the featured (at times the original artist(s)) truly shine; not to mention their ever-increasing collection of outstanding originals!! Beyond the mostly gospel suggestions already given here are some other MUSTS to add to your list: Covers: I Can’t Outrun You and Helplessly Hoping (I believe both were arranged by Chance, as well as the video concept/direction by Chance) - both with breathtaking 5-part harmony Listen to the Music Can’t Stop the Feeling Take Me Home Country Roads Castle on the Hill Collaborations: God Bless the USA feat. Lee Greenwood and the USAF Singing Sargeants and American Pie feat. Don McLean - both done in different states during Covid! Delta Dawn feat. Brooke Eden The Horses feat. Travis Collins and Amy Sheppard (filmed in Australia this past Spring) and Dreamer LIVE at the Ryman feat. Texas Hill, where Tim does a great introduction - this is also an original Originals: Why Not Catch Me If You Can Dive Bar Saints Leave This Town Understand Road Sweet Road So Long Dixie Might As Well Be Me (please pause to read their bios and for their written answers, it adds to the hilarity and you/we will enjoy it all the more) and finally, Playing With Fire - whew, it’s hot! ❤️🔥 You will continue to discover that Home Free can sing anything and they never disappoint! You will cry tears of laughter and possibly tears of sadness on some, but you won’t stop being amazed.
They do an amazing version of Amazing Grace and How Great Thou Art, also O Holy Night. They do so many other covers, and originals just fall down that rabbit hole, and you will not be disappointed.
The oldest one of theirs I can think of is "Joy to the World" (circa 2013). They also have videos of "Amazing Grace" (with Peter Hollens), "How Great Thou Art", "O Holy Night", "Mary Did You Know", "Go Tell It on the Mountain" (with Texas Hill) and "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" (with the Oak Ridge Boys).
I thought I'd give you the guys names. Front row left to right Tim Foust bass (has a 5 octave range). Rob Lundquist lead tenor (beard and glasses). Austin Brown sky high tenor. Back row left to right Adam Rupp beatboxer and Adam Chance (Chance) baritone. This is my first reaction of yours I've done and I really enjoyed watching it.
Gospel? Check out Home Free's collaboration with Kenny Rogers on "Children Go Where I Send Thee" ; a toe tapping, hand clapping, hand raising good time.
Love your spirit and your comments -- and your beautiful voice. For HF's most traditional gospel sound: Children, Go Where I Send Thee (with Kenny Rogers!), My Church; two great tunes with Texas Hill: Giving Up on You and Go Tell It On the Mountain. Gospel + motown/blues: their covers of Folsom Prison Blues (Johnny Cash) and Blue Ain't Your Color (Keith Urban).
