Go Tell It On The Mountain -- Home Free & Texas Hill -- Cheyenne, WY -- 307 Reacts -- Episode 279

[@madamred2061]

Craig Wayne Boyd won season 7 of The Voice, Casey James (on guitar) took 3rd place on season 9 of American Idol and Adam Wakefield (piano) came in 2nd of season 10 of The Voice. Amazing trio. Together with Home Free it sounds like a gospel choir in a honky-tonk and I ain't mad at it. #HOGFry

[@staceysmith8173]

Snap you guys are killing it with the Home Free songs. Love it!!!

[@momD612]

Yessss!!!!! They done got the bug! True Home Fries 🍟

[@kellywilliams364]

Tim went to one of their concerts and then after talking to the band asked Texas Hill to join them. I have played piano for over 40 years. I am jealous of Adam's skills with the piano. I have loved Casey since he was on American Idol.

[@tammymoseley1348]

They did this together at The Ryman on Tuesday night too. Sold out auditorium plus the live stream. Absolutely amazing show.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

was beyong amazing, and very blessed to have that live stream to a shut-in like myself. It was amazing

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Guys this song started off as an African-American slave song. and had made it to sourthern evangilical churches by the early 1900's. I grew up as a Southern Baptist and sang this song ever Christmas time several times....and especially Christmas Eve candlelight Service

[@yvonnemcmahan9037]

I never knew where it originated. I just know I have been singing it for over 50 yrs in all kinds of churches

[@miamidolphinsfan]

@@yvonnemcmahan9037 yep its a universally sung song even in Roman Catholic churches these days

[@yvonnemcmahan9037]

I also grew up Southern Baptist. We always sang this song at Christmas.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

@@yvonnemcmahan9037 yep good old days when their were a lot of Southern Baptist Churches in Miami...I think there was at one time over 30 SBC churches...now just a handful. A lot of the Churches like my parents one they went to later in life, was Universityy Baptist - they are now called Christ's Journey Church and withdrew from the SBC because they became too political and ccontrolled by right-wing whackos. I noticed a while back that the SBC only has 13 million members...when I was a kid is was at 15 million, and that was in the 1960's

This was recorded in Wyoming when Texas Hill opened for Home Free. The first soloist was a winner of The Voice the guitarist was on American Idol and the piano player was on The Voice. I cant remember their names but other Home Fries will fill you guys in

The guitarist is Casey. He came in 3rd on American Idol. The pianist is Adam. He came in. 2nd on The Voice.

I saw them do this song live in Knoxville, TN and it was awesome! Texas Hill opened and joined Home Free mid-show to do this and another song. The whole show was stupendously wonderful!!!!!

[@bethcoussou]

Texas Hill performed two songs at Home Free’s Ryman show Tuesday! They did use the keyboard there. They streamed the show for those who couldn’t attend but wanted to watch! It was amazing! This cover is really cool! I love how they performed it! Home Free released “Mary Did You Know” and an original today “Christmas Ain’t For the Lonely”. Also, Tim released his first solo, “Come Go With Me”, off his first album since joining Home Free titled “Pieces of Me” (volume 1: Doo Wop). It’s all Tim’s vocals and it’s really good!

[@mettesrensen6116]

Hi guys i´ve just re-watched your Brothers in Arms reaction after you had a drink with Adam and he said he learned to sing using an app IN MY OPPINION HE ALWAYS COULD SING REMEMBER --HOW GREAT YOU ARE FROM 2017

[@jesj27]

Let's Gooooooo!!! #HOGFry

[@jillchamberlain6478]

Don’t discount Adam Chance with the bass. Chance is working with Adam Rupp on the rhythm section, including bass, when Tim does lead vocals. So,s omeprazole of the background Bass was probably Chance.

[@wilshade]

Last year, Home Free did a 2nd collab with the Oak Ridge Boys and Jeffery East (who was opening shows for them before the current health issue hit. "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" was recorded live. Jeffery pretty much performed the role of the pitchpipe to set everybody up perfectly and it was shear vocal power from there.

[@amandaschlatweiler3481]

I can't wait until they react to that one. Austin goes full gospel.

[@tracyz9155]

Love the honkytonk piano and the guitar. The leads and harmonies were spot on. Love the beat, too. Thanks for your reaction

[@janethoffman4197]

Great collaboration with Texas Hill! Thanks for all the Home Free, keep it up!

[@timothybuell3314]

When you are discussing the Bass end, I fell in love with Home Free when they first came off of the Sing-off, but I think they got much more consistent on the bottom end when they brought in Adam Chance, who was the Bass for Street Corner Symphony. His range is nearly as low as Tim's and he fills in the bass when Tim is soloing, but where it really makes a difference is when they are both singing harmony, and the richness of Chance's voice reinforces Tim's low end. It makes it really full and round.

[@hamblinta]

Each time I watch this gets better than before! Such a good rendition and HF/Texas Hill blend so well together.

[@terrispurling4036]

Good evening #307Reacts gentlemen. I've been a sub for a minute or 156,960 thereabouts and I'm liking what I'm seeing and hearing y'all, great job - that includes you as well Ronnie albeit I haven't seen or heard you as of yet. Give it several more tens of thousands of minutes and mayhap it will happen. #HomeFree never disappoints and are my favorite Acapella fellas. For me they are so much more than non instrumental vocalists which individually they shine and collectively . . . pffft - further comments not required. They bring so many emotions to every performance that I cry, I laugh, goosebumps are present and often I get a look on my face that I feel looks quite a lot like those that sometimes appear upon your faces and I love their antics. Great reaction!

[@reginaminton1135]

Home Free and Texas Hill are great together. I have watched a few of Texas Hill songs and they are good. I think they are worth checking out. Thanks for another great reaction. Enjoy all the extra info y'all put out.

I saw Home Free in Knoxville, TN, on12/2 & Texas Hill opened for them. They're really good. They came back out later & performed this with Home Free. It was great!

[@milomurphy9178]

Their livestream at the Ryman was great last night.

[@wendischambach6181]

So this is the third recording I've heard of this song from Home Free. The first cut was the roughest, the next was just them with the new members (I think minus Chance?), but this was graaavvvy! Loved it. If you like collabs with a little instrumentation, last year's cover of "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" with the Oak Ridge Boys and Jeff Easton was wonderful.

Saw Home Free Dec 1 in Evansville, IN. It was the first show of their Warmer Winter tour. Texas Hill was the opener and came back on to do a couple numbers with HF, including this song. Concert was amazing, even though Tim called us the guinea pigs.

[@carinalindberg7377]

I love the bounciness in this one, especially when watching Austin bouncing along with it. Texas Hill does have this video up on their channel as well and I'm sure they would appreciate a view, like and a sub. I love their sound. Yes, please, I'd love for you to react to their stuff. They also seem to get along super well with HF and they recorded a video for Dreamer, a Home Free original, together the other day, I think. They've done both this and Dreamer together on stage. Thanks for the reaction, boys! Keep them coming! 😁🥰🙏

[@belinda9696]

The show I went to in Knoxville a week and a half ago Texas Hill had a keyboard and 2 guitars. Then they came down into the first row with the audience and watched some of the Home Free show. I thought a couple of them, if not all of them were on the voice and Blake Shelton possibly put them together.

[@tygerbrite]

Two things: More of their country gospel vibe in their performance with Kenny Rogers of "Children, Go Where I Send Thee" and with the Oak Ridge Boys of "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem." Both are Christmas songs, if you want to use their work at that time. Both are exquisite, classic HF.
