"Oh Brother, Where Art THou" is an adaption of the Odyssey. It's a fun time.

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

This is an old song, originating in the Appalachian Mts. and written down over a hundred years ago. It's been recorded by many artists over the decades, among them Bob Dylan in the 60s (one of my folk heroes). It was made popular again in the Clooney movie, and surfaced again by Home Free. I love the radiant smiles that "harmonica" brought to your face, Ash -- keep smiling, and keep following HF!

[@dagmar.6954]

This is one of the most popular Home Free songs. It was the first song I ever heard from Home Free & I was instantly hooked. It really showcases the talent of these 5 men (their tight harmonies, Tim Foust's bass & Adam Rupp's incredible beatboxing). They are my favorite a cappella group. This song is very old (about 100 yrs.) & is done in the bluegrass country style. It was used in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney.

[@brettmanus7904]

If you want to have your mind blown with the no-monica, watch them doing Ain't Going Down Til The Sun Comes Up.

[@pauldonohew3084]

Or Working for a Living

[@dotwyness4110]

You'll have to learn their names, first singer is Austin Brown, second is Rob Lundquist, bass is Tim Foust, Beatboxer is Adam Rupp and Baritone/bass is Adam Chance, goes as Chance, he was doing the jaw harp sound ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@qatar824]

Best way to learn their names is to watch "Workin' For A Livin'". Actually introduces them all by name.

[@chrisperosa]

Their fans are known as Home Fries.

[@lynnramsay8821]

Adam ( beatboxer) that harmonica sound he does we call it his Nomonica The jaw harp was done by Chance (Baritone / Bass ) First singer is Austin (High Tenor ) The guy with beard and glasses is Rob ( Tenor ) Deep Bass singer is Tim he has a 5 + octave range

[@timworks991]

Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. I know you have already watched a couple of their videos now, but they have so many and cover so many different genres of music that you have barely stuck your nose into this deep, deep hole. All the "Home Fries" will come along with you to enjoy the ride.

[@user-kq5ke5yb6k]

Their "Butts Medley/Remix!"

[@lazyblazer]

4:24 That's actually all him. No instrument needed! Amazing

[@wonder5487]

I would suggest your next Home Free reaction is their version of Mayday. Together with this one, it shows their range and they're my two favorite too!

[@larryc3860]

I love the late, great Dr. Ralph Stanley ( R.I.P. ) and his Clinch Mountain Boys.....but this may be just as exciting as the original.......and ALL the female reactors SWOON at Tim's Basso Profundo vocals !

[@adreannwingren6603]

I’m a 36 y/o F in the US, and I had to pause at Ash talking about the Studio Ghibli movies to say I adore them too!! I get it girl! Studio Ghibli is my Disney lol. I especially love everything by Hayao Miyazaki! Ok back to the video, cause I also love this song, especially by Home Free ❤

[@ericsteffen5619]

When they hamonize after Tim Foust (the bass machine) does his part, he actually goes lower than the lowest key on the piano. What's really amazing is he can go much higher too. Incredible range. Loved the reaction!

[@Ameslan1]

If home free comes to the UK, you should go! They sound fantastic LIVE just like they do in recorded videos! I love Home Free!

[@rllangevin3841]

Great reaction Dave & Ash! Please indulge in more #HomeFree there’s so much to explore from silly to serious, country to do-wop, and everything in between. Some favourites for consideration: Stand By Me Dreamer LIVE at the Ryman feat. Texas Hill - Tim does a fun intro of everyone mid-song, plus it’s an original and a collaboration! One Voice feat. Billy Gilman - watch to the end for an important note Don’t Laugh at Me feat. Mark Wills (and his daughter joins in at the end) - watch to the end for an important message Take Me Home Country Roads Castle on the Hill One Man Band I Can’t Outrun You Brother - you may need to watch twice during your reaction, once for the hilarity and a second time for the lyrics/musicality; and Might As Well Be Me - another hilarious original where you will need to pause to read their “bios” and written answers to really enjoy their wacky humour!

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

O Brother where art thou is a retelling of Homer's Odyssey

[@karenfryberger4260]

Yes, I was looking for this comment. It puts the entire movie in context. There are articles online about the many similarities / references to Homer's Odyssey in O Brother Where Art Thou. OB Dave and Ash might want to read up just a little before - or after - watching the movie. Man, I love that movie so much...

[@gmunden1]

The film "Oh , Brother Where Art Thou," is based on Homer's book "The Odyssey. " The film is set in the Depression Era South.

[@larrywright3132]

The movie has a great soundtrack of old gospel, bluegrass, and country music.

[@stevecausier4299]

The “ soggy bottom boys “ were actually Union Station, Alison Kraus’ backing band !

[@bella-xp7qd]

This is from the movie O Brother Where Art Thou starring George Clooney. The film is set in rural Mississippi in 1937, and it follows three escaped convicts searching for hidden treasure while a sheriff relentlessly pursues them. Its story is a modern satire which, while incorporating social features of the American South, is loosely based on Homer's epic Greek poem The Odyssey

[@williambill5172]

Check out the video where the beatboxer does a complete drum solo showing off all he can do! ("Homefree Drum Solo")

[@lindareynolds8430]

#HOMEFREE....so unique!

[@Chrissnox]

I think you both would enjoy home frees “it’s all about that bass” it’s hilarious

[@bjsmith6187]

For reference, O Brother Where Art Thou is a “modern” interpretation of The Odyssey by Homer, set in the Old South.

[@d2ndborn]

Yes you two really need to watch the movie

[@chrisparti]

"I don't' want to snot on camera" 😂❤😂

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Love how much yall enjoyed this, your smiles were fabulous.

[@user-kg7co9vi5r]

Ash just trust Dave on this one, Oh Brother is one of most fun movies ever.

[@patriciab8876]

Though published in 1913 by Dick Burnett, who did not compose it, this song is an old American Folk Song. It was old when published - he just put it to paper - which then enabled him to earn from its use. Prior to that it was learned "by ear" having originated in & around Kentucky, Tennessee and thereabouts.

[@raymond2896]

I love everytime the guy does the harmonica you smile. 🙏✌️

[@dalegleneagles5072]

The algorithm is doing it's thing. Sitting here in the states and this started popping up a lot recently despite being 5 years old. But hey, it's pretty great, so I'm ok with that

[@lindanearing4710]

Two years ago after my husband passed away, I clicked on this video because this song and the movie were one of my husband's favorites. I remember us watching the movie together and he just roared with laughter. When I watched Home Frees' video I cried tears of joy and sadness. The music made me so happy but I wished my husband could have been there to enjoy it, too. I fell in love with Home Free and I know my husband would have loved them too. He "guided" me to them and they have brought joy back into my life again. Adam Rupp is an insanely talented beat boxer. Absolutely love these guys. Loved your reaction.

[@timhonigs6859]

O Brother, is a modern (1920s)adaption of Homer's Odyssey.

[@babyfry4775]

Home Free is amazing. This song is really old - about 100 years old and was made popular in the movie O Brother Where Art Thou. It’s a great movie. They are the criminals and the law chases them. Yes, a “mouth harp” sound that Chance was doing (he’s back left). Tim is the bass and can sing really low and then sing up with the tenors. He has an amazing 5 octave range. Adam, the beatboxer, was doing the drums, harmonica and other sounds. All super talented. I think you noticed the rain on Rob (glasses) because of his dark clothes. It showed more. I think this was filmed in s. Alabama. Try Can’t Stop the Feeling, Cruise, Stand by Me for more great harmonies. 😍😄

[@pickin4you]

That first sound is a JEWS HARP or also called mouth harp. It is done by the last man they show on the video. Chase. So more than one can do sound effects.

[@stuckinaloop6637]

This kind of music is justification for the boston tea party. You are welcome red coats 😂

[@debbiehall9091]

This is probably their most popular song. These guys are amazing and so talented. ❤❤❤

[@Kodiak660]

The raised eyebrow was priceless!

[@kelleyowens2856]

you see your friends eyes when Sam started singing bass. lol

[@jeffsharp2981]

Can I suggest How Great Thou Art…. Feel like it has unbelievable harmonies and the scenery is unbelievable… always evokes emotions in me…every time!

[@Fez135]

The twangy sounding instrument he's recreating is meant to be, I think, a Jew's Harp. It's a really simple instrument that is basically a sprung reed connected to a small frame that you hold in your mouth. You pluck the reed with your finger and alter the note by changing the shape of your mouth and throat. The mouth acts as a resonating chamber that gives it quite a bit of volume for something so small.

[@sylvestermcclain7941]

The should rub got me. You guys are lovely

[@invinciblefeelings1439]

Loved the reaction, it’s fun to watch you guys react, HomeFree is an add on. Love Homefree 😊

[@sandralorenz1796]

The sound at the beginning is a jaw harp....made by Chance.

[@anitawright7169]

This is so very awesome. It truly shows each of the guy's abilities. There is nothing they can't do! Love your reactions!

[@DiamondRioFan1]

I'm guessing she loves the no-monica!!! 😂

[@ronaldgines171]

Oh Brother Where art Thou is Homer's Odyssey..... John Goodman is the One Eyed Cyclops

[@minneyruth]

#HomeFree 🤟🤠🤟

[@avtomatt554]

This song is actually rather old. The original lyrics were found in a man's notebook in Appalachian Kentucky and were a bit different from this. I grew up in neighboring West Virginia, and heard this in bluegrass form a couple times as a kid. O Brother, Where Art Thou? completely revitalized it for a young audience, which was awesome. For reference, that movie is a retelling of Homer's "Odyssey." I don't get it, Big Dan.

[@Ayselx]

The instrument in the teeth you were thinkinkg of is called a jew's harp. 'Oh brother where art thou?' Is based on The Odysee

[@karlschmitt6359]

More Home Free please, thank you!

[@mephitismephitis6825]

The "diggory-doo" sound is actually an imitation of a jaw harp, a twangy metal spring clenched between the teeth. It is a old-timey instrument used in county music. In this Home Free cover the acappella sound of the jaw harp is done by Adam Chance (back row _ left). These guys have TALENT.

[@user-vl4fx5wf1q]

I love your reactions and comments on Home Free""Man of Constant Sorrow"❤❤

[@RWHansen]

Oh Brother Where Art Thou is a modern(ish) retelling of The Odyssey. Good job calling out the mouth harp. Not many people recognize that's what they're mimicking. If you enjoyed this version of Man of Constant Sorrow, you should check out the cover by Geoff (Jeff) Castellucci. He is the bass singer in the acapella group Voiceplay (VP) who started a solo channel during Covid. Funny enough, Voiceplay and Home Free are friends and collaborated on Voiceplay's channel for the song Survivor by Destiny's Child. It is both incredible and hilarious. I highly recommend it. Where Home Free is the Country Boys of acapella, Voiceplay is the Theater Kids and is widely considered to be one of the top three acapella groups with Home Free and Pentatonix. Hope to see some of VP's stuff on your channel as well. They are my favorite with Home Free a close second.

[@danivanriper4061]

Wait -- what? You haven't heard this? This is the best.

[@oldted2]

I could tell by the look on Ash’s face during the bass solo that she was single for a brief moment.

[@Rogers_Ranger]

british dialect v american dialect is so comedic

[@kevingouldrup9265]

You're a lucky man Dave to have such a good woman!

[@lindamorrison9755]

You seemed rto have missed Chance doing the jaw harp. They say when they do it live they use a looper because it is hard to do it for such a long time.

[@joenewman6494]

Excellent reaction best a cappella band out there.❤️😎🇺🇸

[@kevinmarshall854]

Please do the😮ir Butt's Melody" and their cover of "when a man loves a woman". You will be amazed.

[@MooreCEJr]

Remember there are no instruments.... all drum beats, noises, and sounds are made by human mouth and throat... including the mouth harp at the end of the song by Adam Chance and the ba-boom underlying low bass note during the first two verses.... ba.booooooooooooooooooooooom ...bass singerTim Foust

[@joycehoover8786]

You should watch “When a Man Loves a Woman”. Austin Brown sings the song with the others as back up. They are a very good group.

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Hi guys. Good catch on the mouth harp Dave. I am leaving a link to a video from one of their live shows. the guys leave Adam (beatboxer) on stage alone and he does a drum solo and then some other sounds. In this he actually does a didgeridoo, so you can really hear the difference. It's a great watch and listen and only a small look at what he can do. Oh and the guy in the cowboy hat is the guy who started the group over 20 years ago. He is Chris Rupp (Adam's brother) and a fine singer. He decided a couple years ago to move on to new things and was replaced by Chance (Adam Chance). Only Chris and Adam Rupp were in the original group. The others have been added along the way. Hope you both enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5LRfIqCisZ3psk

[@ericbaesler7204]

I'm nominating Ash for the greatest smile on the internet.

[@Ernwaldo]

Hi, guys. Really happy you like this. The look of joy on Ash’s face is always heartwarming. Interesting that Dave likes O’ Brother Where Art Thou. Both of the versions of Man of Constant Sorrow are certainly entertaining. Would be interesting to see your reaction to an old version of the song from Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2Sliap4d7qZbtksi=yDOT7KTv5-IjVCFX Ralph Stanley was actually on the O’ Brother… soundtrack.

[@azureander5487]

there is a song they do called "go rest high on that mountain". Its by FAR their best rendition, but it will also make both of you weep like little children.

[@audreyjohnson4599]

Here in the U.S. we have an instrument called a jaws harp. That is the sound Chance was mimicing.

[@axlFoleyBeverlyHillsPo]

George Clooney- “Soggy Bottom Boys” Dapper Dan

[@according_to_Gerg]

This Home Free version kept popping up as a suggestion while I was on my kick watching reactions to Disturbed - Sound of Silence. The only reason that I eventually gave it a watch was because I love the movie and this song from the movie. I'm sooooo glad that I did! Home Free is now my favorite group of all time (and I'm in my 50's, so I've seen a few groups). I'm glad that you're enjoying them.

[@mack1305]

I love watching her grin so big when Adam Rupp comes in. 🤘

[@axlFoleyBeverlyHillsPo]

George Clooney and the Dapper-Dan hair gel

[@spurs5785]

You two should react to Adam Rupp’s drum solo. He is amazing.

[@PabloGarcia-sj5pm]

Son pocos los que se dan cuenta de que Tim Foust baja una octava completa al reincorporarse luego de su solo. Congratulations. Buen oído

[@glennspreeman1634]

Visually and audio treat, just overwhelming!

[@donnav3270]

Sobbed for more #HomeFree great reaction. ❤ them!

[@fa11en82]

Highly recommend checking out Misty Mountains by Peter Hollens with Tim Faust from Home Free

[@GreyGhost252]

Tim is a southeast Texas boy all the way! Proud of you brother!

[@Datsnice97]

where you're saying that the vocal affect sounds like a didgeridoo, I'm pretty sure i remember reading that it was actually inspired by a mouth harp. don't quote me on that though as i could be wrong.

[@keithjohnson8330]

My favorite movie of all time is Oh Brother Where Are't Thou... so this caught my attention a few years ago. It turned me instantly into a Home Fry. 😊

[@user-qp8jh9vl7v]

Just subscribed with hopes for more Home Free reactions.

[@teresacartwright5406]

The original song was published in 1913 and later covered by Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and a host of others. Most recently the song was covered in the movie " O Brother Where Art Thou". IMHO, Home Free is the best band (of any genre) out there. 3 of them are song writers so there are lots of originals. They've toured extensively (150-200 shows a year) for more than a dozen years, so there are lots of live videos as well.

[@teresacartwright5406]

BTW, I think you'd love their video "Crazy Life" (aka the Lego video).

[@davidoriggan]

I with you Dave, I've tried to get into anime many times and I just can't.

[@kattiewalker1968]

No instruments used. Adam Rupp makes the harmonica and train whistle sound with his voice. Total A Cappella group.

[@RAW2881]

Adam Rupp can do the No Monica like that live too. Seen them live 3 times sounds the same as the recording. They are pretty awesome!

[@AztecHusBone]

Nice shirt on Ash. Next time you're there/here come on over! Beer is on me!

[@donveldman8850]

❤ you guys.

[@DarthREV]

You guys should start a movie reaction channel that would be awesome

[@indowneastmaine]

You too are so oddly adorable together! 😊

[@donaldlosertrum4135]

old music of the scots irish which are the ulster scots who came to america and settled in the appalachian and southern states in the 1700s. my grandmother fathers people were yankee ulster scots who immigrated to boston . i have a request for watch mojo 20 comedians who died too soon.

[@danieljodrey]

Hey Dave and Ash, feels like its been a month or more since your last reaction to The Warning. I miss Ash's look of surprise and delight. ✌️💖🎼

[@jvnbrk]

Never under estimate us country boys lol..we know how to do all kinds of shit..even sing. Rather well to actually..love your reactions! Amazing there is no instruments in this..

[@sag2horses]

#HOMEFREE

[@stpetie7686]

This is neither here nor there, and has no bearing on the video or song whatsoever. Although that is one of my favorite songs. But I have to say that this lady's smile is special. She smiles with her whole face. From hairline to chin. Whatever she was feeling was making an appearance on her face. It made me happy to wee.

[@japcar84]

Dapper Dan pomade.

[@Nana-zi9xq]

It’s called a juice harp

[@Yooperbuzz]

Not a didgeridoo. A juice harp. Check out "Butts (Remix)".

[@sidpalmour111]

Check out Home Free Butts Remix!

[@innocentbystander1853]

This suggestion might be outside of your comfort zone (?) but Miley Cyrus does an excellent performance of Man of Constant Sorrow that I’d love to see you both react to. It’s a live performance from a tribute to George Clooney.

[@MyrtleBchsweeper]

Great ❤

[@bmo1878]

To start someone on anime find something that matches his movie preferences. There are plenty of action, drama, and romance anime to fit most people. Comedy is a little harder to do as a lot of the humor is based on references that he wouldn't likely get. From there try to go with a tried and true classic like Hunter Hunter, Cowboy Bebop, or Ruroni Kenshin to name a few.
