You should do When a Man Loves a Woman by Home Free( Ginger Man) Austin Brown takes the lead on that one and he killed it!

[@MugnifyRTS]

LOL, I gotchu :D

[@carolyngregory9092]

He sure does!

[@TheLadyDraconus]

I affectionally call it the Panty dropper 🤣

[@weslennon3425]

Tim Foust (the Bass for HF) lives not too far from me, we've been friends forever, they've taken me on tours (a lot of the time I carry some equipment for them) help by being a volunteer roadie and setup. I love Austin like a brother and he does When a Man Loves a Wonam beautifully. The origianl was by Percy Sledge was done in 1966.

[@tiffanyelliott2852]

@@TheLadyDraconus lol panty dropper is a pretty good name for it.

[@wirelessmikedj7784]

That is Austin Brown, the high tenor of the group. His soulful high tenor is amazing, his runs are rediculous, for more of him check out "When a Man loves a Woman". Rob Lundquist is the tenor (as well as Adam Rupp the vocal percissionist when not beatboxing), Tim Foust is the bass with a 5+ octave range, Adam Chance "Chance" is the bariton that covers bass when Tim has lead and also has an incredible range, and Adam Rupp is the vocal percussionist. Adam has drum solos out there he does during the live shows....there is an older one that is fantastic (red flannel) and new ones whos him even better using a looper. These guys are legit.

[@donniephillips7145]

Little info. Home Free won "The Sing Offs" and one of Boyz to Men was a judge. He gave them props.

[@arnieadam]

That ginger's name is Austin and if you think you've heard the notes he can hit, you should listen to him do Percy Sledge's "When A Man Love A Woman."

[@louisetemples7011]

Yes please! It's great! My first time seeing your channel! Glad you enjoyed Home Free! I'm going to sub because I really love these guy's! This was a great performance! Appreciate your time and attention! Thank you very much! Your subs are going to rise exponentially because of the Home Fry's ( the fans of Home Free) Take care and see y'all later!❤️🍟

[@barbaracampbell9907]

It’s Austin Brown

[@clarencegood7490]

It's not wrong.....it's adding their own flavor to a song....while still doing the song and original artist justice

[@anitasmith7764]

Wife needs to know they’re 100% acapella! The fact there’s no instruments in ANY of their songs is amazing!

[@dagmar.6954]

These guys are all so talented. They lean towards country but they can do any genre including R&B. Rob sang this with so much soul along with Austin. They all can take the lead depending on whos voice is best for the song. Tim's bass is great as usual along with Adam's awesome vocal percussion. Keep up your journey through Home Free. You will not find a bad song.

[@TheLadyDraconus]

If you want to see their fun side, please do the Butts Medley, it’s an older video with founder, Chris Rupp who is Adam Rupp (beatboxer) brother before he went solo. You will love it.

[@jillchamberlain6478]

Shawn Stockman was one of the judges on The Sing-Off the year Home Free won. Shawn was very appreciative of Austin Brown (Ginger to you) and his voice. He gave Austin all kinds of compliments during the competition.

[@janethoffman4197]

I don’t know any group but these guys that could do this song justice.

[@babyfry4775]

They’re so good. When they were on the show the Sing Off Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men was a judge and he loved them. I think they wanted to do right by him. Rob did a great job on the lead and Austin (ginger) killed it too. Blue Ain’t Your Color, Butts Medley, Helplessly Hoping to hear more great harmonies.

[@joanwharff6483]

The lead isn’t from the South…but, from Minnesota….cold country. Ginger, Austin Brown, is a Georgia country boy. He’s got one heck of a twang. He sang a lot in church choirs. Then, he went to university, & is classically trained in musical theater. He studied hard to get rid of the twang, then, Home Free wanted it back, for their country vibe.

[@ohseedee27]

Oh, I gotta subscribe. Great reaction, props to your wife, too. As some said below, you should check out When a Man Loves a Woman. I think Austin was channeling the late, great Percy Sledge in that one and Adam's percussion is off the charts, not to mention the background harmonies by Chance, Tim, Rob. For fun, you might want to see Country Fried Pop Medley or definitely the Butts Remix. Merry Christmas.

[@danamills3981]

You have got to do when a man loves a woman. The notes Austin hits in it will leave you speechless

[@sandyleewhite]

It was so pleasurable to watch you come in as a skeptic, & see Home Free win you over!!! Thank you, I really enjoyed your reaction !!!

[@MugnifyRTS]

Thank you for the comment, I really mean no harm

[@sandyleewhite]

@@MugnifyRTS ❤❤❤

[@momD612]

ahhhhhh.....i believe youd love their versions of "undivided" & "everybody walking this land". and listen to the messages after the videos. these guys are incredible, and take a HARD stance on their patriotism & beliefs in equality. Love your reaction!! New SUB!! :) Also "thinking out loud/let's get it on Mashup". make sure SWEETIE sees that one. ;)

[@AnnaMarie66]

What a fun reaction!😂💞Your wife is adorable lol Home Free has NO bad songs!

[@MugnifyRTS]

Thank you

[@DyvmSlorm]

Rob there is from Minnesota hehe luckily you didn't let her listen until Tim sang the bass part. PS yes Austin was a fan of Boys 2 men. Sean was one of the judges when Home Free was on the sing off. I believe this song was kind of a tribute to B2M but was a few years after their time on the Sing Off.

[@Natasha-ty7oo]

This was a great reaction! Thanks for it again. Hope your kitty is doing well! Did sweetie ever listen to the whole song? Lol

[@MugnifyRTS]

Yeah she did after the stream she was impressed

[@kimberlyfairbanks8330]

You need to do a "Sweetie Check" with their cover of "When a Man Loves a Woman". Watch out now! Lol

[@MugnifyRTS]

We may react live to that song lol

[@johntucker4296]

Wait until Valentines Day to do a reaction together, please.

[@Melanie-AlwaysJustMe]

Love Homefree! They are so freaking great. Enjoyed this reaction Mugs! Hey Sweetie!! Glad you watched with Mugs ❤ #MugsMafia #Homefree

[@jonathanreid6196]

“You got black friends” lmao he definitely brought some soul at least

[@TheDivayenta]

They’re doing it their way yet with great respect for BTM!

[@randipearson4930]

Sweetie knows what’s up !! Y’all are so cute 🥰

[@kellywilliams364]

Austin "ginger" started in his dad's southern gospel group as a kid.

[@cozenw3236]

I think also that the induction of the bass in this song is because it’s a “Cover” and needed some variation different from the original… And because they also wanted to give Tim time for him as well.

[@cheryljohnson733]

Home Free is soo good! All of them have unique voices and are perfect.

[@u.s.veteranandpatriot7511]

That`s Austin-he`s a fan of Sean= when Sean praised Astin`s voice on Sing Off -it blew his mind

[@danieltilley4187]

I love it by boys 2 men but Home Free killed it big time. What makes it a great cover is they put their own unique style to it.

[@danieltilley4187]

Tim the bass changed it up so it would not be just like the original. I believe it was changed for copyrights issue.

[@MugnifyRTS]

I thought so!

[@gushaynes5182]

They don't copycat songs.

[@donnarutledge1086]

Shawn mentored then in the song off, and they won the sing off. They did a fabulous job on this one

[@roneasterday7761]

Love the interaction between you and your ole lady. Loved the reaction of the video also

[@Autumn8564]

Shawn is a big fan of Austin’s, from The Sing Off, where he was a judge.

[@timvanderburg6039]

While HomeFree has been around since 1998, they really didn't get traction until they committed to a C/W sound, which is unique among a capella groups. They won a nationally televised competition, "The Sing Off" in 2013, and grabbed national attention. Even though primarily a C/W group, they have proved adept in all genres, including Jazz, pop, and, as you can see, Soul.

[@G-grandma_Army]

Your wife is adorable! You should coax her go appear more often. Interesting fact: Shawn Stockman was a judge on The Sing Off which Home Free won (the year after Pentatonix won). He loved these guys! And he loved PTX, too.

[@janetmcclure8568]

These amazing men do ALL genres! Found them 4 years ago and have been hooked ever since! I am a Home Fry!

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

The fact is THIS ENSEMBLE IS SO FAR BEYOND ANY OTHER VOCAL GROUP EVER .... it is clearly a case of "personal Preference" or bias to say this version is not better than the original - WHICH IS GREAT - not just not on this level and broad vocal talent, range, production and experience !

[@amyzinabstracts1216]

They were on the Sing off and Shaun was one of the Judges. The "Ginger" is Austin Brown and he is from Georgia so lots of Southern roots.

[@TreyM1609]

I love how Wife came in and took it over just jamming to a great song and a great cover

[@nethanelmasters5170]

The high tenor has a you tube channel Austin Brown and he and his friends perfom song he has a black friend on piano and another on a guitar. In different songs. All of them are great. And Home Free covers a song they DON'T copy a song.

[@char2845]

Wife Approved! 😂😂😂 Nuff said!! I’m a proud Home Fry and I loved your reaction! You haven’t even scratched the surface of them yet. You will find them amazing. You ought to check out their cover of My Church! Thanks for the real reaction … loved it! 👏👏👏😁

[@michellejackson6679]

I'm a country music fan.. oe hair bands... but I grew up listening to this in the 90's... love love love.. I still can't believe that they covered this so well. amazing.

[@cherrybaldwin9615]

That's so awesome I love that group

[@MugnifyRTS]

I may go back to reacting to them soon

[@SusanneRoberts-pb7eb]

Austin really does look up to Sean ? from Boys to Men,he said as much when they won the sing off 2013 when Sean was one of the judges.He said when Sean told him he was a fan of Austin well he said that was his proudest moment right there.On the 10yr anniversary of the show they sung 'stand by me"in part together.It was fantastic .way to go homefree and great reaction as always.

[@megankelley7363]

You and your wife are adorable, and your kid walking by with the wave is extra wonderful!

[@stevewalls6918]

As a reactor you need to remember this is a cover! Their job is to make it their own!

[@MugnifyRTS]

I understand that but remember I'm. A fan of the original too

[@mgentles3]

I gotta say it. Little Ginger (Austin Brown) is from Georgia. Of course he has Black friends. One of them collaborates with him on his singles, playing either guitar or keyboard. BUT...most people now don't realize the origins of the Black accent are from the deep south. With no intention of starting controversy, it's obvious that would be the case since most of the original population or Blacks in America learned English as slaves in the South. We're losing that way of speech by both races more as time has passed. The thing is, it's the richness of the voice that makes all the difference in White soul and Black soul. I mean, physically. It's the timbre, the thick, rich honey in the black voice that white people don't and never will have. However a song comes from the soul, it will always present differently until the races fully merge. I like Austin's version of 'When a Man Loves a Woman', but it will never sound like Percy Sledge's original. I guess what I'm saying is that nobody 'learns' soul. You got it or you don't, like rhythm. It just sounds different. I really enjoyed your take on this cover. You're always real and upbeat and it's appreciated.

[@candicesmith6026]

Hands down best comment. I personally think Chris Stapleton sounds like the James Brown closer than most in his rendition of This Is A Man's World but its not exact and shouldn't be. Both soulful voices stand alone but are unmistakably their own while sharing the same honeyed grit of blues legends.

[@MugnifyRTS]

This is a better comment than I got from someone else telling me I'm "Throwing race around" I do agree so isn't "Learned" but you definitely needs the right amount of influence to emulate it. The "Black Friends" comments is because what I've learned in my life is that most musicians are inspired by each other so it's definitely clear that he/They have black Influencers of their style

[@candicesmith6026]

@@MugnifyRTS absolutely! Life imitates art and art imitates life. If your life is filled with kings and queens to show you beautiful talent you'd want to emulate that! Let's be mindful of the ones who are unfortunate to have ton deaf talentless friends to emulate

[@Alacarte0421]

Now check out When A Man Loves a Woman

[@billrice3250]

You should listen to Home Free's version of When A man Loves A Woman. The guy you said must have some black friends - Austin - takes the lead, and it is exceptional.

Definitely doing that one
