Bass Singer REACTION & ANALYSIS - Home Free | The Gambler

[@PeterBarber]

Recorded this one back at the end of November, but Christmas videos took priority for a while 🎅I absolutely love Home Free's cover of this song, and I hope you all enjoy my analysis! Much love ❤

[@leephillips5904]

!a!

[@jillchamberlain6478]

I apologize if you have already done this, I admit I don’t have your reactions memorized…. But if you haven’t listened to “Children, Go Where I Send Thee”. It is a collaboration between Home Free and Kenny Rogers, and it is beautiful!

[@PeterBarber]

IMPORTANT NOTE: Apparently screen-recordings are taken in mono (as opposed to stereo), so you can't really hear what I'm talking about when referring to sounds happening in the left and right ears -- go check the original and you'll be able to tell!

[@dawnhutchins11]

I had to do just that. I was like, what’s he talking about? Trying to trip us up, lol?!😂 It’s clear in their original. Props to their sound engineer. 🎶👏

[@patriciawoyczik1657]

Great reaction....this is a quarantine video...and all 5 guys recorded themselves from their home with the help of their wife or girlfriend! Their producer did an awesome job combining them together!

[@billienance1673]

I love your voice even when you are speaking. Love to here you sing.

[@freadadillon4071]

You are obviously a well educated and well trained young man. You have the ability do an analysis that is both informed and enlightening. And you do it so most anyone can understand. You have such a great ear for detail. I always hear many new things when you react to a performance, because I miss so much on my own. Thank you for all the time you take with each song. Now, I have a suggestion for you that I tossed out to Tim. Both of you could make a killing by taping readings of Grimm's Fairytales --- you know, the really scary originals, as well as urban legends. I would love to play something like that for my great grandsons and scare the pants of them. I'm not what you would call a typical Grammy. I would be honored to help you it what small way I can. In my opinion, what is sorely lacking in today's educational system is music and art that can be incorporated into and coordinated with teaching plans.

[@hellefur6631]

I'm 100% confident, that Kenny would have been proud off this. If you want to react to another off their quarentine videos, then try "Flowers on the wall".

[@christinadowdican3268]

Their video "quarantine" then Flowers on the wall were the first two in the quarantine videos that they did. They were pretty good at putting out new content all during the quarantine era. Great reaction🙂❤️

[@christinadowdican3268]

@Fred Jensen hello Fred

[@annawildey7412]

Hi Peter. I love your respectful and humble analysis with knowledge and humor. You are one of the best at giving reactions. Thank you. Anna

[@LadyLissa82]

I just love your reactions so much! Not being trained, all I know is that it sounds beautiful. It boggles my mind how you can isolate all the different strands and pull them out for us to look at. It makes me appreciate it not just for its beauty but for its composition. So, so impressive.

[@mikegray-ehnert3238]

The first concert I went to was Kenny Roger's and the First Edition back in 1967! "I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in." Was their big hit.

[@geniemiller9800]

This guy knows his music. I was impressed.

[@tassilo5949]

Thanks for another great reaction! A wonderful arrangement of Home Free. Chance's solo at the beginning is so good. And then Tim, he has amazing vocal control, fantastic. Rob's solo is as great as ever. The guys are so good. I'm still not a country fan, but Home Free is fire 🔥

[@maryhemmer7943]

Haven't looked at all the other comments so don't know if anyone pointed out this was all done in their individual homes (not all sitting around one table). Another great example of their video creativity and great job done by Darren Rust in compiling.

[@caitlynjacques82]

As a fellow accapella singer it's always so much fun to hear another singers take on a piece. I enjoy all of your content but especially when you find something about the song you're listening to that you really like. Your love and enthusiasm for music truly shines through then.

[@lindawarden-burglund9603]

Another great reaction video, Peter! I liked when Kenny did this song, and this cover is a perfect tribute to him. Home Free is the best vocal band out there IMO. I can't wait for your next Home Free reaction!

[@xblts]

Dude.... loving your content! Besides all the technical knowledge you have of music theory and voice structure, your own voice is such beauty! Just wanting to let you know you have a fan already! Keep the good work. bud! And post more content of your own creations... love to hear you sing! Cheers!

[@robertcaston7820]

Great reaction video, Peter. I agree with the suggestion that you check out Kenny and HF's version of" Children, Go Where I Send Thee". Just fantastic!

[@emilybennett6567]

Yes, the arrangement in Children Go Where I Send Thee is glorious. Please give it a reaction. Other commenters have noted that Kenny loved it so much he would sing with their backing vocals for that song in his concerts.

[@ShyAnn291]

I’ve seen someone say that he was originally thinking of asking PTX before he found HF, all I can say is thankfully he found HF! I like PTX but I can’t imagine them sounding as great as HF does!

[@danagiffin5492]

I have always said Chance has a smooth aged whiskey voice

[@StevenEverett7]

Unlike most Home Fries I haven't listened to all of their music so every once in a while I get to hear the song for the first time with the reactor. Thanks. Fun fact: When Tim sang in high school he didn't sing bass. He was a tenor! This was stated by Tim in a interview with Elizabeth Zharoff (The Charismatic Voice).

[@canolij5323]

Omg🤯

[@marcusambrester]

That was actually a great interview!

[@StevenEverett7]

@@marcusambrester Yes, I fully agree!

[@paulmartin2348]

Everyone in this group has GREAT voices and I started out in The Sing-off being floored by Tim and been a fan ever since. That being said I very much enjoy Adam Chance's voice. It is just pleasant and warm. (they are all great, so yea)

[@tracyz9155]

I learned something about brightening the tone with less air. Thanks. I always enjoy the vocal lessons that go along with the reaction. Home Free has great harmonies.

[@lisabrown7787]

Your explanation of the drone was really interesting. Thanks.

[@vickireynolds4055]

Home Free never ceases to amaze me!! Of all the songs I've heard and the few CDs I have, I must say my favorite is when they sang the National Anthem at a baseball several years ago! They split that harmony until there was mercy begging, then just "knocked it outta the park!!" Yes, I HAD to go there! If you can find it, give it a listen! Brought tears my eyes, and my Dad's! He really liked Home Free! 😭💖💖🐕🐾🐾👵🇺🇸

[@droid8472]

You need to check out Tim's come and go with me On his channel. It's from his new solo doo wop album. I think the first quarantine song they did was titled quarantine and is a spoof on Billy Joel's honesty

[@momD612]

Exactly what I was gonna say!

[@wadebowenfan6743]

Chance’s voice is like good whiskey. That’s what always comes to mind whenever I hear his voice. 🥃🥃🥃

[@kathisea2605]

This is one of my favorite Kenny Rogers songs, and Home Free's cover is awesome, so I love this twice over. And definitely love when your accent slips out willy-nilly.You just keep that beautiful voice lubed up with whatever beverage you want (I'd be happy if you shared your hot cider recipe, btw). Thanks for this one, and your honesty. Can't wait for the next one!

[@bradyschoch7562]

Hey, Peter. Great reaction and analysis. Really like these videos as I am a music nerd myself and I like how you explain some stuff that I have never noticed before and when you give the audience a different perspective on the song/arrangement that we could never think of in a million years. I think it is really cool and I am glad you started doing these and you have a voice yourself. Love your work as a one man acapella arranger/performer and as an opera singer. You do both genres very well and that is awesome and it shows that you are a true musician and not just a singer. Also, I think the stache suits you man. I am growing mine out as well. Also, I think you should also consider covering a classic country song such as this. That would be really cool to see. Also, a few questions: 1) When are you and/or the Bass Gang gonna drop another banger? 2) What is chest fry? I heard you say it not in this video, but a few other one's and I was wondering if you can explain that or make a video explaining that or maybe a tutorial on it. Keep up the great work and looking forward to future content! 👍

[@kristindunstan172]

I think Quarantine was their first separately-filmed video. Their producer did an amazing job of putting it all together.

[@mackennerley9980]

Gotta watch Down To The Honkytonk, the music video is all about lockdown starting. A lot of fun!

[@aaronbeaty317]

Great Reaction Video! Kenny Rogers would have been happy to see this Video! Was blessed to see Home Free Live in Concert a Second time and it was awesome!

[@emilybennett6567]

Adam definitely looks like the dude who's spent the most time playing cards. Though surely they've all played a hand or three thousand in their journeys.

[@jeffharry9675]

Tims part in Brothers In Arms and Unchained Melody. My God!

[@tonysweeney2075]

Peter,,You gotta listen to "Man of constant sorrow"..The bass man goes sub-harmonic!!!

[@annakoch9972]

I love to hear you explain and really shown me what it is I'm hearing when I listen to Home Free. That's is what reaction video is to me is. 🙂👍 And a bonus is to hear you bass voice.

[@sjenny5891]

Especially when you stop and listen for it. You can not hear it from then on. I feel like I just had a great music 101 class.

[@yviemitchell4896]

Does anyone else find themselves rocking along with Peter in the same spots, lol?

[@mads_._]

Sound placement in headphones like this makes my brain happy 😊 Left and right pan especially. Home Free really have great sound production amongst all their talent!

[@vickyburton2434]

It is always amazing to me how each of these gentlemen are so very talented and different.

[@reginaminton1135]

Thank you so much for this reaction. I do enjoy your analysis with all the songs. This song is one of Kenny Rogers songs I have always liked and the guys did it so well. These have already been suggested...Children Go Where I Send Thee...with Kenny Rogers and Home Free...right after the song Kenny has something interesting to say. It is really good...Also...Tim's songs from his new Doo Wop album...Come Go With Me...there are several Tim's singing this song...and it is fun.

[@michaellehtonen9020]

I just stumbled across you today. Home Free is one of my favorite groups and I'd love to hear you react to more of their stuff. I love hearing your take on it, it helps me to hear things I initially missed.

[@karinfichtner7479]

I have sung many years as a lyric soprano with many choirs and choral groups....even a little barbershop, so I really like your explanation and analysis of the music you react to. I learn something from you all the time. Definitely one of my favorite reactors. I'll be sticking around. Have a good 2022

[@vickyburton2434]

I love Tm and I love how you cover these songs. I can see you singing while you are holding a beer!💗💗💗

[@stanrock2225]

They just never miss

[@MuriKakari]

If I remember correctly, it was all filmed separately: Adam & Rob live in Minnesota, Chance lives in LA, Tim and Austin in Nashville, so yeah, no real chance of getting the whole band together during Quarantine

[@manavsharma869]

Yesssssss thank you for reacting to this!!!

[@jessiemyrle4907]

Great video, great analysis. What I really enjoyed was your slip from your voice that I am used to, to your “cowboy” accent. With your beer and your slang I could swear you are right here in Dallas with me!!

[@anthonytaylor8153]

Hi Peter, my name is Anthony, and I'm a huge fan of you and your channel. I know you might not read this but I promise it'll be worth it. I was watching your reaction of Merry Did You Know, and I saw you mentioned that you didn't know who wrote the song. Mark Lowry is the one who wrote this song in the late 1990's, (I believe 1996) and he is one of my favorite baritones in one of my favorite Southern Gospel groups, Gaither Vocal Band. If you really want to hear a beautiful group, listen to Gaither Vocal Band. My favorite song from them is "Sinner Saved By Grace" definitely worth a listen, and if possible, a reaction!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for those who are celebrating btw🙏🏼

[@angelserenade]

Home Free has done a little more quarantince videos before their cover for the Gambler came out. The quarantine really showed us how they could still pull of a fancy and catchy video while on lockdown. another one of my favorite "quaran-tween" video of theirs is their "Down to Honkytonk", "Everybody Walking This Land", "Diamond Dreams" I'm very new to your channel and I know you've already seen some of Home Free's most well-known works (Mayday, Do You Hear What I Hear, Helplessly Hoping, Ring of Fire, How Great Thou Art), but I would love it if you could check some of their covers that are oftenly not talked about, such as: - Man of Constant Sorrow (pit viper moment?) - My Church - Your Man - Thinking Out Loud - Can't Help Falling In Love (Tim's cover) - My Country Tis of Thee

[@babyfry4775]

Such a nice tribute to Kenny. HF is so good. Thank you for your breakdown - so well done. I thought I had already subscribed but it doesn’t show so I’m subscribing. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

[@eriklind8489]

Thankyou Peter for another wonderful reaction

[@BELLA-mf6hb]

Thank you, for doing this.

[@benjaminburgess6880]

I love listening to these guys, and then I love learning why I love it from listening to you. Big ups my guy

[@dagmar.6954]

Thanks for your analysis. These guys are amazing & always put a smile on my face. They were very creative during quarantine. They did a great job of this song & nice tribute to Kenny Rogers. And Adam was awesome as usual with his vocal percussion.

[@brittag.pedersen5340]

Love Kenny Rogers and voice! My first music on tape I ever bought was Kenny Rogers "the Gambler"

[@dawnhutchins11]

Again I have to comment on your reaction which is oh so much more than a regular reaction. You break things down to levels that ordinary musicians and vocalists normally wouldn’t notice. I love love love listening to backup harmonies and did notice how they were mixed so brilliantly. But I haven’t heard the Gambler in a few years. Gotta go back and check out how they emulate those guitar runs. Also, it’s great when you don’t “dumb it down” for your channel. Keep the musical terms coming. Your explanation of how to project your operatic voice so it cuts through the orchestra, mic-less, was exceptional. You definitely have a new fan in me. I do some of the very same things you do when I analyze a new song. It’s cute and endearing. Keep reacting!!🎶☺️⭐️

[@retired3948]

You are a real man to talk about your mental health issues. I love watching you analyze songs. I think I love you. 😊🤪

[@publicclammer]

I learn so much from your videos, Peter!

[@emilyannebrown3700]

I love this song

[@bookwormben]

They really love their call and response and I’m so there for it

[@cathyharryman9018]

Home free brothers in arms Tim's deep deep

[@mellowmarsha6166]

Loved how you "took apart" the song.. It was so informative and I heard many things I hadn't heard before.. Thanks..

[@kathyweverka4335]

Home Free - my very favorite! "My Church" is the cover I listen to over & over. Would love to have you do that one.

[@sp72929]

Tim Foust released a new song from his Doo‐Wop album - Come Go With Me, literally singing all parts by himself and fully exploring his range. You will have a field day with that one! And I think many, me included, would like to hear your inside knowledge.

[@tackdaniel9978]

Thanks Peter. Great detail, easy to relate to and also apply. Learning tons from you. Cheers

[@sitarainbow8837]

Great review of a great performance. I always seem to learn something new from your reviews. Keep 'em coming, especially Dimash, Home Free, & Pentatonix, my favs. ~♥~

[@heathervona7883]

I am a huge Kenny Rogers fan....Been listening to him since I was a little kid.....I think Home Free did a marvelous job of paying homage to Kenny....Thank you for your reaction.... I wish Home Free would do more Kenny songs....Daytime Friends...She believes in Me....Lucille...Any of his songs.....

[@pippafinland]

Oh, Kenny Rogers and Lady... ❤

[@vickireynolds4055]

Heather Vona, yes since The New Christy's Minerals in the late 1960's!!

[@vickireynolds4055]

Heather Bona Minstrals!! Hate autocorrect!! 😂👵🇺🇸

[@artchic1984]

Totally love this version, they did an amazing job. Also great reaction analysis as always, was a lil surprised by ur Burt Reynolds stache, but looks very good on ya! I must say, I just love how u explain the musical terminology of what's going on during the song. That dear sir is where u stand out above the rest of the "reactors" u truly do analyse and explain a song in a way that is both interesting and fun to watch. I really enjoy these

[@АлександраБакульманова-у8п]

Happy New Year, my friend, from Belarus!

[@sandyblack2687]

Always love your analysis!!❤️

[@thatonetallguy1233]

I know you’ve probably already got this one on the list but you should check out come go with me by Tim, it’s one of my current favorites

[@richarddavis7530]

Thanks for all your knowledge and entertaining content. Looking forward to more song reactions/analysis as well as your own music and the Bass Gang

[@TimChampion1112]

amazing speaking voice!! and I love the stah!!!!

[@elainelombardi1444]

Really enjoying your informative commentary, Peter. I'm not an opera fan but I can appreciate the intense training and how that gives you a deep perspective into these videos. Love your descriptions and your comments!

[@sandywheeler5500]

I learned a lot from this reaction! Thanks!❤️Sandy

[@carolchatham7766]

Loved this

[@d.kersten8793]

Also in this song, when Tim takes the lead, Chance is hitting quite some low notes

[@peggygilbert3968]

You make me hear a lot more!

[@liathnoy7169]

Your reactions are very interesting, Peter, very eye-and-ear opening :)

[@purpleir]

I love this song as well as what they did with it! One of my favourites! I am really glad you choose to analyze this! 🙂👍

[@nikkibanning176]

Never really liked this song much until now. Appreciate the analysis.

[@allisonhausman9508]

Have you heard of Straight No Chaser? Would love to hear your analysis of their version of Creep.

[@Angelll3016]

I would love to see you react to Trace Adkins Arlington. It is hands down one of his best songs

[@melindahancock8518]

I'm not sure you are aware. Kenny Rogers recorded an old Spiritual with Home Free called Children Go Where I Send Thee. It is a great song for you to react or just listen to.

[@bethbeaton809]

I know this seems out of place for what you normally react to...but would love for you to react to a group of Bee Gee songs. So many to choose from, but the harmonies are out of this world! I love your reactions and would love to hear some from this group.

[@marta150]

You can almost hear the overtones when you demonstrated forward singing. Nice demo.

[@jeanlynn8278]

Love Home Free. Great reaction. Can you please do a reaction to Marcelito Pomoy singing The Prayer on the Wishbus? He has a very unique and amazing voice. Also amazing is the fact that he had no vocal training. Raised himself on the street from the age of seven. Watch soon….enjoy! 👍

[@johngalt2054]

It has been said that Tim has chiaroscuro down. Makes sense since he does have that sound in most of his range.

[@gailseatonhumbert]

Complicated putting this together from quarantine.

[@bluebelt224]

You should check out their cover of American Pie with Don McLean, they do a wonderful job and Don sounds as good as ever! I think you’d really enjoy it!

[@ryanje8147]

Peter bro…..you forgot to even mention one of the best parts of this video….Adam’s awesome shirt. It is so cool.

[@trixielynn2004]

Happy New Year! I love your reactions, thanks for explaining so much to us mere mortals who can only wish to sing. So… I grew up on Kenny and NO ONE does Kenny. People, don’t kill me… but, I’ve tried and tried and can only stand 3 of HF’s songs. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3.5 now. If I’d never heard Kenny, I might put this on a playlist. So, they did an amazing job on this. Great tribute to the man.

[@cronocort2632]

When peter mentioned movember.....all i could think of is toby flenderson from "the office"

[@glendaprewitt9708]

Those Bflats were tremendous

[@sandywheeler5500]

…and analysis! ❤️

[@YeahBuddy]

What a sweet ‘stache! ¿Cosi? BTW - I finally figured out how to do subharmonics.

[@AndieO]

Like the mustache. Love the review as usual.

[@richb313]

Great reaction and break down you probably already know but Darren Rust records and sometimes arranges their songs.

[@nannerfly345]

I'd love to see you react to Gordon Lightfoots, 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald' and Alison Kraus "When You Say Nothing at All' - neither one is A Cappella but both are simply done.

[@Sonata-jl9bx]

Очень красивые мужские голоса!👍

[@UltraSaltyDomer1776]

Good take. A song I would like to hear broke down is slipknot snuff. Also NIN hurt!!!
