FIRST TIME HEARING Home Free- Man of Constant Sorrow REACTION

[@lreece60]

Home Free is just AWESOME!!! A capella is brought to a whole new level!! Loved your reaction!!

[@bethcoussou]

Welcome to Home Free fandom!! They are absolutely amazing!! The lead tenor with the straw hat is Austin Brown (high tenor). Rob Lundquist (full beard guy with glasses) is 2nd tenor. Adam Rupp, is the beatboxer (and sound effects guy) is remaining co-founder of the group. Tim Foust is the bass, and Adam “Chance” (goes by “Chance” so there’re no confusion with Adam Rupp) is the guy in the back and at the end doing the jaw harp sound. He is a bass/baritone. I saw how surprised you were and how much you liked them and appreciate their talent and you noticed how cohesive they are as a group! If you want to react to more, you’ll probably see a jump in your subs since the “Home Fries” (fan base nickname) will find you and jump on board here. Check out “End of the Road” cover, and maybe an original song of theirs called “Dive Bar Saints”.

[@drieuxkoeppel8152]

The beatboxer for HOME FREE is Adam Rupp. He’s a two-time WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP winner for beatboxing!

[@gracechapman3412]

Never heard this song untl I started watching The Voice. A 15 yr. old kid named. Sawyer Fredricks sang it for his audition. As soon as I heard him, I said he's gonna win this show and he did. He also plays the guitar. Please Please Please listen to his version. He went back too the farm and still lives the simple life. He writes his own music. Made an album. So talented. Look him up.

[@MrsNash100]

"... these guys took all the bass ..." Jay, I don't know HOW you could be more adorable!

[@wendyreveyoso3731]

The tone in all of their voices is simply amazing 😉

[@redmaynard]

Know the song, Home Free is new to me too. Mind. Blown. Fabulous!!!!

[@sharontaylor1493]

The first singer is Austin Brown with the voice of an angel. Second fella with beard and glasses is Rob Lundquist....he also has a beautiful voice. The very last guy you see is Adam Chance...aka Chance . The bass singer is Tim Foust and he can go to the basement and beyond....just fooling around in this song. Lastly is Adam Rupp..known as the Freak of nature. He's a beat boxer, drum kit, and dj. All together you get five guys who enjoy what they do and are like brothers to each other. They can sing anything from pop, R&B, gospel, to country. They love to have fun and a lot of their videos show that, but when the song calls for a serious theme they do that too. They've done videos with a lot of country groups....including Kenny Rogers and Alabama. You'll love them if you give them a chance. They have a huge following. Great reaction and Thanks. Gonna subscribe...so will be checking back in.

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

There are NO instruments except their voices! Truly GREAT!! BTW, welcome to the rabbit hole. You will have to listen to ALL their stuff now. And it's ALL this good!

[@dianeritthaler7792]

They are AMAZING. Both guys in the back were making the sounds. Adam Rupp is an AMAZING BEATBOXER And Homefree can sing❤

[@jerrikeefer8219]

Glad you finally found Home Free!

[@kdmathesen]

Thank you , thank you, thank you for reacting to this song- I’ve watched this video so many times that I finally had to stop, and you gave me a good excuse to watch one more time! More Home Free and Pentatonix, please!

[@hildareynolds231]

Tim Foust, the bass singer, has a 5 octave range and can go way lower!!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

way way lower

[@emilyflotilla931]

He's amazing!

[@rowenanunn590]

So much lower 😁

[@Rippypoo]

Wow. I’ll have to look him up. The tenor range and all the voices upward from there always get all the attention and accolades. And I have been impressed from time to time, too. But I love singers that can hit all the notes in the basement. And there is just nothing sexier than a good looking man with a clear, full, double-bass voice.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

@@Rippypoo Tim is incredible...there are fan videos on youtube from concerts where he's blown out speakers...search bar just type in Tim Foust vocal range

[@phyllisb4634]

It's a good sign when you don't want it to end. Home Free is phenomenal, very talented and versatile. I hope you will listen to a few of their songs before you do Mayday so you will enjoy the impact.

[@dougdixon2577]

I agree listen to a few more before doing Mayday. It will floor you.

[@DarlaVaughan]

It is basso profundo, that deep bass, the opposite of falsetto. He has a wonderful tone. They're all so talented.

[@RadCenter]

"These guys took all the bass!" LOL

[@ronyoung654]

Love these guys so much! Probably have heard this song a thousand times. Both from the movie and from Home Free. Truly amazing talent. Love your reaction Jay! All of their songs are great.

[@deborahdennehy9937]

Just SPECTACTULAR!! No, there is no music, really incredible!!

[@zebulon8819]

RIP to Dr Ralph Stanley the original man of constant sorrow 🙏♥️

[@kristiejenner2642]

I've discovered so many fascinating things on KZbin during this pandemic, reactors such as yourself for example . And the music has been amazing. I discovered Pentatonix a while ago now and that discovery led me to Home Free. I haven't been listening to them for that long but they blow me away every song. I'm sure more experienced 'Home Fries' as their fans are called, though now I can probably call me one too, will fill in a lot of missing blanks for you, but a few of their songs I can't seem to get enough of, this one, Mayday, Hillbilly Bones, Ring of Fire Nd another song they are a huge part of though another accapella singer did most of the arranging for, but the cover of Still Haven't Cound What I'm Looking for by U2. This song in particular makes me all weepy in a good reason I can't really explain. I highly recommend any of these songs Home Free sing. Dive into their musical world and you will be awed, I promise.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

a 2nd for the Home Free/ Peter Hollens U2 collab, still haven't found what I'm looking for

[@alverond]

Try VoicePlay also !!!

[@bourbonn.pearls3151]

I just love seeing the awe, surprise and respect on your face anytime you watch HomeFree. Love ya my man!

[@stuckinthe80s85]

Check out their cover of Johnny Cash's song "Ring of Fire" with guest vocalist Avi Kaplan, formerly of Pentatonix. It is AMAZING!!!

[@MattPhizzle]

That will DEFINITELY take the bass out of everything!!

[@virginia7191]

This was the first video I ever saw of Home Free and I was instantly in love with them. I was like "Who are these guys and why have I never heard of them?" That was 2 years ago. I now have all their cd's and have seen them in live concert. They are amazing and just keep getting better! They have a lot of video's on KZbin. Enjoy!

[@alexjohnson2068]

Everything they sing is touched with magic! Great reaction, love watching your face. Their version of Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For featuring Peter Hollens, is utterly gorgeous, somehow a 350 strong virtual choir is included! It's a beautiful U2 song and am sure you'd love it. Stay safe and blessings 😏🎅

[@tracyleach3446]

Individually, their voices are ridiculously awesome. Collectively, next level - jeez😍🙌

[@edithcormane1410]

Fantastic everything, voices, performance, music georgeous!!!!!

[@pattytyndall1021]

LOVE, LOVE Home Free! Sooo talented! They have quite a discography of music!

[@johnchestnut5340]

"Butts Remix", "All About That Bass", "How Great Thou Art", and many more. "Ring of Fire", "Folsom County Blues"

[@terryesrom4607]

Bro surprised you took this long to find Home Free, but now that you are here welcome to the Home Fries, you are just getting started and I am excited to watch this journey, it is ALL AMAZING, spiritual, country, R&B enjoy the ride.

[@icecastles1432]

Their "Thou Art" is just beyond the blue

[@BeantownMrs]

Thanks for the reminder to rewatch "O Brother Where Art Thou?" :)

[@etc7070]

Such a great movie!

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

Do you know, I watched the movie years ago and remember loving the soundtrack, but for whatever reason, never investigated. I'm so very glad to have found them now!

[@etc7070]

@@jonnylumberjack6223 the soundtrack is wonderful! Full of old time country, folk, and blues.

[@themodsify]

Oh brother where art thou is based on Homer's "The Odyssey" c.8th century BCE. From the sirens to the cyclops.

[@Mrs.Fezziwig]

I was trying to remember the name and the version from the film is my favourite. And Siren's Song is another.

[@kenttaylor9238]

Check out their version of "How Great Though Art"

[@LeandraSilvio]

Yes! So amazing!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

I 3rd this

[@debbiecoop2108]

My favorite of theirs.

[@jocelynhaeberle1401]

These guys are new to me, too. Very impressive!🤩

[@jojones1082]

Check out their version of Folsom Prison Blues, Love Train and End of the Road...they're all awesome!

[@byzinski]

MAYDAY !

[@debbiecoop2108]

Love train was the first song I heard of theirs. So much fun to watch.

[@AlReam]

Lets not forget "Helplessly Hoping" folks. Real good harmony. You can get a good feel for how well they work together in that song.

[@monaguedon7656]

What the HELL ? Is that guy actually making those harmonica sounds without a Damn harmonica ?? Holy Canolli that man's bass voice is incredible !

[@martah1]

WOW!!!! I've never heard them before ,they are brilliant

[@vinnieblair8576]

Home Free's latest Christmas album out last week . Check out Warmest Winter, Cold Hard Cash (for Christmas) and Christmas in LA. All written by group members. From an earlier album O Holy night is really worth the listen. Here for your HF journey.

[@itmesweepy7699]

I watched a reaction to this song by a vocal coach and she said the guy who does base, his range goes BELOW the music scale.

[@dosgoat]

Everything you hear is their voices, including the jaw harp, drums and harmonica 👍🎶🎵

[@freadadillon4071]

Awwww----- bless your heart. You are no a Home Fry. These guys are amazing. Watch everything you can find. You will never be disappointed and most of their stuff is hilarious!!!

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

HOLY SHIT BATMAN!!! This is entirely new to me and I am blown away dude. Fuck. I really, REALLY don't do country music (I'm not American, it just leaves me stone cold most of the time, it's not a common genre over here, at all) but hot diggity damn, these boys are fire! A-fricking-mazing, the human voice being used in so many ways and produced to utter perfection. Thanks to the folks who recommended and thanks to you, Jay, for bringing them to my attention. Seriously, it is rare I find a new artist who truly blows me away with ability and pure musicality and this brought it home. Damn fine work. Wow!

[@vickygregory9153]

its not country its blue grass...

[@barrywood7322]

I’m a Brit and followed them for years they don’t only do country they can sing the phone book during lockdown they released a song every couple of weeks I recommend to check them out.

[@MichaelSimmons.]

They call themselves "Country A Capella," but they are so much more than that. I know a lot of people, that say they're not big on country music, but love Home Free. Enjoy the ride.

[@150mcl150]

Where are you from?

[@Mikki44]

They have over 100 videos. Welcome to Home Free!

[@AliciaMoore-Morada]

The buzzy sound at the very beginning and in the background - the jaw harp - was made by Adam Chance (he goes by Chance to be differentiated from Adam Rupp, the beatboxer.) He was in the back left corner in the dark vest. Baritone who goes bass when Tim, the basso profoundo, sings. Tim has a 5 octave range. Austin, lead in this song, is a counter tenor, Rob with the dark hair and beard, is tenor. They won season 4 of The Sing Off. This is a rabbit hole you are going to love!

[@rllangevin3841]

Too short, indeed! So many more amazing Home Free covers and originals to do. They can all sing, including the beatboxer, but he prefers to keep the rhythm and has won multiple world beatboxing championships; they call him their Freak of Nature.

[@dajuice4200]

Wow this is great. Never thought of this song without the guitar.

[@Liz-cmc313]

Oh yeah, these guys are incredibly talented especially the Beatboxer. 🔥

[@juliestevens6931]

You will find that many of the Pentatonix fans (Pentaholics) are also Home Free fans (Home Fries). I found Home Free after I found Pentatonix and I think of Home Free as the Pentatonix of country, gospel and rock. They also write their own stuff. The bass is Tim Foust and he is a force of nature. Avi Kaplan, the bass from Pentatonix, did a collab with Home Free - they did Ring of Fire. :o) It was intriguing to listen to the differences between the two stunning basses.

[@twentypdrparrott694]

Tim Foust and Adam Chance are both basses. Tim is the deepest though He can blow speakers!

[@MegaEaglelover]

Exactly 🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🎤🎵🎥💤🎵🎥🔊🔊🔊🔊

[@dedejordan8078]

Home Free's music makes me happy! You smiled throughout this whole video. Great reaction to a great rendition of this cover! Tim (the bass) can sing high too! And he has been known to blow out a few speakers. You can catch that on one of the From the Vault videos!

[@robleffler6584]

This is all fine vocally.. Every sound.. They are amazing

[@rosemary702001]

Welcome to a home Free! They’re my current favorite group. I especially like Ring of Fire, End of the Road and Can’t Stop the Feeling. All are great. Enjoy!!

No help, it is all them. High tenor. Austin Brown Tenor Rob Lindquest beard Baritone Adam Chance Bass. Tim Foust 6 octive range has broken 2 sound systems to date Adam Rupp. Beatbox genius ,2 time world champion.

[@raymondgilbert1341]

check them out doing "Elvira" with the Oakridge Boys (the original artists).

[@dennish300]

This is awesome. Reminds me of an all girl band “Hardline Drive” that I heard eons ago with the same kind of harmonies....Sounded great too! But the base in this is incredible

[@JeffOfTheMountains]

"Fishing In The Dark/Boondocks" is an older song, but it's GOOD. *EDIT:* Patrol Gaming (another KZbinr) said the same thing. In fact, his words were: "Now the only thing I found wrong with that song... Um, it only went on for three minutes and 41 seconds. That's shite. That should go for at least ten minutes."

[@DBS6567]

all the sounds you hear, i mean everything you hear is made with the human voice, everything, they are amazing

[@stephanieosadchuk5689]

Speaking about the bass, check out their cover of “all about the bass” - it’s wonderful and hilarious! I love “Elvira” (a collaboration with the original artists, the Oak Ridge Boys), and “Can’t Stop the Feeling.”

[@TheDivayenta]

This is an Appalachian old folk song that has its roots all the way back to similar old English folk songs. And that beatboxing is all one dude!

[@MaxDeVoe]

Chance and Rob are helping with some effects in this song.

[@stinkbug4321]

Not quite. Just one person. The baseline, the jaw harp you here at the beginning and at the end is done by a separate person. You see him at the end of the video.

[@christinawoolley6206]

Thank you so much for sharing! I've never seen or heard them before and it's awesome! I love how the sound from the mountains has a spin on the blues. This song in particular. So many immigrants from the 1800s and beyond brought their instruments from Europe. They were held as extremely precious. Their history was woven into lyrics which were passed down to the next generation. Constant Sorrow has that timeless quality and hearing it sung by such talented men is such a treat! 😽💘

[@josefschiltz2192]

Love this reaction! As with others, please check out their cover of Johnny Cash's 'Ring Of Fire'. As for the bass, Tim Foust, well, put it this way . . . speakers have been known to tremble at his approach, then give up! One reactor, by the name of Katrinka, I swear that, when she first heard Tim, she started to float!

[@suzanneh.3822]

They're so genuine, and so funny! Enjoy this rabbit hole, my friend - you have struck pure gold! Definitely check out How Great Thou Art!
