The guy on the lead guitar is Chris Chatham. Tim sang with him in Blue Jupiter. They are long time friends. The guy on bass guitar is Chris Marion, Tim’s brother-in-law
Chris Chatham is an incredible arranger. He not only did arrangements for Blue Jupiter and Home Free, but also for many others. What immediately comes to my mind are the arrangement of "Are you ready for a miracle" on Chris Rupp's channel and an incredible arrangement for Ali Spagnola's recent K-Pop cover of "We don't talk about Bruno".
Did not know the Marion connection - as Time is not near Austin's backyard (Texas / Georgia) ... so I assumed he would be a friend of Austin's - perhaps that of Sebastian's ! Thanks, jj
If I had voices like these gents, I wouldn’t do anything but sing all day every day. And the guitar player was excellent not just as a singer, he played extraordinarily too.
Tim's friend, Chris, is a singer, songwriter, arrager, and has produced Tim''s Do All album. He also plays all striinged instruments, including mandolin. Very talented!
Chris Chatham is one of Tim's friends for a longtime. He usually is playing guitar when Tim's sings requests for people. Sebastian plays for Austin on his page. And the other guy is Chris Marion Tim's brother-in-law. Always enjoy your reactions and the knowledge that you give us.
I really enjoy watching your reactions and learning from your analysis. This video impressed me as well because it wasn't cut in a studio, but just live in a backyard bash.
My favorite music reactions/analysis are when the host, like Jennifer Glatzhofer, becomes an enthusiastic fan. What good is it if experts don't get excited when things are done well? Well done again, Jennifer.
Hello Maria and Jennifer. I t makes me so happy every time you react to Austin or Tim or HOME FREE. It just doesn't get any better than them. Love them and thank you. Stay Safe
If you look again at the Tim "Will you Still Love Me/Stay" you will see it was Chris in the background doing the soundboard. Chris has done guitar accompaniments with Tim on a number of videos. Love the acoustic bass! Overall, this was outstanding and I also think your analysis/comments were spot on. Thanks for bringing this Jennifer... many kudos!
Thank you Jennifer for reacting to this really fun and beautiful song! Love our guy's when they collaborate with friends! You can tell they love what they do and genuinely enjoy the rewards of their friendships. Beautiful voices and beautiful hearts! Would you please react to ADAM CHANCE Feat. THE HOUND AND THE FOX newest release titled WAYFARING STRANGER? Thank you, I appreciate you breaking things down for us. Home Free is my absolute favorite group and I so love each member! Sending love from South Georgia! HEY MARIA! We love your Jennifer!♥️😃🍟
And on the subject of Tim --- if you'd like to go to the other extreme of his voice -- try "Your Man" (live version is so much fun) -- a Josh Turner cover.
Hello, Maria! Tell your daughter to react to "Helplessly Hoping" by Home Free. The cords and harmonies will blow her and you away. Great reaction Jennifer.
Glad you also enjoyed this song. Great analysis. Doesn't matter what they sing they always make me feel amazing and brighten my day. If you think that they are in sync here (breathing, vowel shapes, ending all at the same time etc) then you need to watch Helplessly Hoping. It is really short but so was the original. Chance asked them to do it, from the idea, arrangement (I think) to the video. Please do some HF songs featuring Chance. Cover me up, Yours, Some girls do, Born in the USA (with a bit of guitar...well it is The Boss & for a bit of lightheartedness try Workin' for a livin'. Thanks for sharing your reactions & all the information as well.
@Chad Fox "My Maria" is NOT NOT NOT a B&D original!! The original was taken to #9 on the US charts by co-writer B. W. (Buckwheat) Stevenson in 1973. BW is almost criminally forgotten today, as he died young in 1988 after open-heart surgery.
Your excellent and spectacular reactions and explications adds a new dimension to the music works. Concerning Home Free I want to draw your attention to the following covers: The iconic Johnny Cash “Folsom prison blues” The deep serious Dire Straits ”Brothers in arms” and ”American Pie” together with the original author and singer. I find that your own performances are super. Please carry on.
Could you give a listen to BW Stevenson...the original My Maria? Then Please Come to Boston. He has an amazing body of work considering his early death. Thx for your reactions.
So the blend of their voices was amazing, but WAIT THERE'S MORE. Austin and Tim literally did the harmony that Kicks Brooks and Ronnie Dunn do and they NAILED IT. I mean it is PERFECT.

This is great by any measure, but if you've never heard Brooks and Dunn's cover of this tune with Ronnie Dunn wailing on those high notes, you have missed a classic.
I really loved this performance by Tim & Austin & the other guys. Liked Austin singing in his lower register. I don't think I have ever heard Tim sound so clear & crisp in his upper falsetto range. Who would ever believe that he is a natural bass who can drop down into the basement depths. Wouldn't it be cool to have these guys perform for you at home.
@@JenniferGlatzhofer I know you are taking today off for the Queen 🥰🥰 I'm sure you have gotten a ton of messages but I hope you can get to the Duet that Austin Brown and Rob Lundquist dropped on Saturday. They sang Nessun Dorma. Just remember to breath a few tunes before the end and you might need some tissues
Hey Miss Jennifer, thanks for covering this collab by the guys. It's been a favorite song of mine since BW Stevenson sang it in 1973 !!! Loved it then, loved the Brooks & Dunn cover in 1995 and love this cover now....such a catchy tune and boy does Tim go off and show off !!!! Hey Maria ! Your daughter is dang awesome !!!
The same day that this was recorded, Austin also recorded "Signed Sealed Delivered" with Chris, Sebastien and Tim's wife Jenika. It's an absolute humdinger and well worth checking out. I don't suppose you'd want to react to a song without visuals, but you might be interested in Austin's version of "Empty House", a song that was sent to him and produced in the most incredible arrangement by Sebastien. It clearly shows that Austin's real talent is in soul and blues. It's a difficult song, needing great agility and feeling at the same time, but packs a tremendous punch in a powerhouse performance. Even the composer him/herself, ResurrecSis, admits to being rather shaken by what the guys achieved!
I sang this song competitively 50 yrs ago, as a freshman in HS. My HS music teacher went to HS with B.W. Stephenson, who sang this song, as well as Shambala, another song in B,W.'s catalog. I placed 3rd with two friends in acapella trio. We only practiced with piano accompaniment, would have loved to have had a guitar.
Love this one and I've got another one you should enjoy. Adam Chance just released a version of Wayfaring Stranger with his pals the Hound and Fox, it brought a tear to my eye. Hope you find time to check out another member of HF doing their 'thing'. (Edited to get their names right way round - too many English pubs called Fox & Hound lol)
I'm older enough than Tim to associate this with BW Stephenson. The excellent county duo of Brooks and Dunn covered it and now we have another amazing version. Thanks for breaking this down. For a change of pace, please check out The Longest John's version of Hard Times Come Again No More.
Wouldn't it be a blast to have a BBQ on Austin's deck, and have them just start singing. That would be pretty cool. As always Jennifer, a great reaction. Thank you. Love from Florida.
I would be blown away, not to mention thrilled out of my mind!!! I think I’ve decided if I ever get married, I want to try to get Austin & Tim to come and perform for my reception! Forget all the extra costs pple. pay for at weddings & gifts. I just want them to sing! I’d feed them, put them up, & invite them to just have fun & have a blast with everyone. Lol #HomeFryForLife 💓💓💓
Discovering people like Tim Foust is what made me work on my upper range. I've been relegated to the depths of bass since I was about 14... but through studying Tim Foust and Geoff Castellucci, I found I can sing both higher and lower than I ever thought possible; B0-C6.
Now that you've analyzed Tim and Austin's work, how about some of Chance's work. He shows a strong liking for contemporary folk in his collaborations with The Hound and the Fox(Reilly and Mckenzie Zamber) in their renditions of "Hurt", "My Mother Told Me", "Wellerman's Song" "Sound of Silence" and, especially "Wayfaring Stranger"(super good). You can also check out his original "Song for Home" and his cover of Blaze Foley's "If I could only fly"on his channel. I love all these guys whether they're singing together or solo(ish). I haven't seen you have this much fun in a reaction since "Go Tell it on the Mountain". You're smiling as much as they are....
I love this song! And I thoroughly enjoy your reactions! Thanks for the content! Keep up the great work! (the exclamation points were accurate, if questionably abundant)
Hi, Mama Maria! Jennifer, there are plenty of YT reactors we can watch just for the entertainment value, similar to sharing a look of amazement with a random person sitting next to us in a theater. But the reason I keep coming back to your channel is for the analysis -- articulating *how* the performers are doing the amazing stuff they're doing, explaining why each part contributes to the whole to make it an awesome experience for us mere mortals. And yeah, the fangirl moments, too. :-) I expect you to pause the video so you can teach us. If people don't like the pauses, they can click on the link to go watch the original video. Every time VoicePlay, Home Free, or any of their members have a new release, I look for your reaction. Tim and Austin have so much fun together. Have you seen the intros at a concert, where Austin describes Tim as "one of the best basses ... in Home Free." Adam Chance, HF's baritone/bass, just released two songs he did in collaboration with The Hound & The Fox -- Wayfaring Stranger and Sound of Silence. They're both lovely, and we get to hear Chance play guitar as well as sing lead.
Austin, Tim and Chris Chatham sang this sing so well. Sébastien and Tim's brother in law were great with their music. Chris has been a great friend singer and song writer with Tim for a very long time. Thanki you for a great reaction. Tell your mom (Maria) that she is a lucky lady to hear these gentlemen sing her a sweet song.
It's just fantastic to see how Tim can switch his vocal range from bass to tenor. A year ago I couldn't have imagined Tim singing higher in a song than Austin - LOL :-) Austin sings great as always, but Chris has a wonderful voice too. The video is amazing. I like your detailed reaction, thanks!
I knew you would enjoy this one! I watch this video every so often as it’s just enjoyable all the way around. Tight harmonies, the accompanists are incredible, Tim can do anything with his voice and it’s cool to hear Austin’s lower range as well. The original version is from my youth and lastly, the setting, insect sounds included, feels like home to me. Hi Maria! As a mom of three adult children myself, I know you must be proud of Jennifer. It has to be fun for you to watch her enjoyment of and interest in music and the voice bring joy and interest to others as well. (Just between you and me, she also does quite a good job of teaching. 🤫) This was fun to watch, Jennifer. 😉 Great job. ❤️
Back in the 1990s I was in a 4man acapella group. When we were learning new songs as the lead I would sing the song and then the other members would also sing with me on my notes focusing on matching my vowel placement until were were in perfect unison. Then when we sang in four part harmony our vowels placement matched and our chords were tight and produced much better sound.
You have already met Chris Chatham. He was in the previous video running the boards in the recording studio with Tim in the previous video you reacted to. Ms. Maria, we Home Fries love and enjoy Jennifer covering and reacting to different videos. You have a special young lady there.
Check out neon moon by Austin brown. I think it's better than the original, and love to sing along with him. I'm way to deep and have no training so I can't hit what he does consistently but it's a lot of fun.
Thank you Jennifer! Always love hearing your reactions, especially Home Free..you make listening to any music even more enjoyable! Hope you have an AMAZING day!
Want some early (pre-home free?) Tim? Edge of Glory on Tim's channel. Sung with 3 friends of his - one being Chris Chatham (on electric mandolin), who is the lead guitar/third singer on this track.
And you just highlighted the difference between a Georgia country twang and a Texas one. For that matter the Georgia twang is similar to Alabama and Mississippi twang.
I just LOVE when Tim and Austin sing and play so much together, at their homes, so casual, with their friends. They do that a lot. Wouldn't it be nice to have them come and sing Happy Birthday for you, and a few other songs too, in your backyard?! We've seen Sebastian in a ton of Austin's videos, and Chris Chatham is with them quite a bit too, he's awesome too, btw. I'm sorry to say that I don't really recognize the guy playing the bass. Oh, and Hi Maria, Jennifer's mom - I hope you are SO proud of her! :)
Maria is a great name to sing to and fall in love. I should know, that is my wife's name lol. :) Great woman. So many great Maria's out there. Mary is great too.
