HOME FREE "Crazy" // Audio Engineer & Musician Reacts

[@justkaron]

Willie wrote it and Patsy immortalized it. One of the most popular songs ever. HomeFree treated it with such loving tender care.

[@kristindunstan172]

Ninja is always welcome on your HF videos. She brings something special to your reactions. 🙂

[@musikbyjh]

I think so too, thank you!! ✌🏽

[@carolburnett190]

Although this is not one of my favorites, I definitely appreciate the talent it takes to cover this song. From what I’ve read, Austin sang this in the same key as Patsy Cline. Thanks Jeremy and Jillian!

[@stanbannmusic8334]

Confirmed

[@dagmar.6954]

Such a beautiful cover of this classic song. I listened to Patsy Cline growing up. Loved her voice & the emotion she conveyed in her songs. I think Home Free nailed it & did a beautiful tribute to her. Austin sang it in the same key as Patsy. Love Adam's tasteful light percussion & brush stroke sounds.

[@kristindunstan172]

This is a great cover of Patsy Cline's song. I played this for an Uber driver once because the music on his radio suggested that he enjoyed this type of music. He told me afterwards that his mother is related to Patsy Cline. I did NOT expect to hear that. Between this one, Country Fried Pop, and End of the Road, you have a good idea of the range of genres they cover. Then there is Rob and Austin's OPERA aria. O! M! G!

[@ppresley9208]

An oldie but goody ... love it when they do these classics with their special touch !

[@patriciavernon9795]

So, with Jeremy focusing on the drums (I understood everything he said, in 1971-1973 I was the only girl snare drummer in the marching band although tympani’s were my specialty), and Ninja covering the vocals you have everything covered. But you do realize that means you need to react to all Home Free videos together so you don’t miss anything 😀. That would be pretty awesome! Thanks for another fun reaction! ❤

[@denise_landry]

I played percussion too altho there were 4 of us females. Snare was my least favorite, but tympani was SO much fun. ❤

[@itzel1735]

Patsy’s daughter recently gave the Home Free cover a shoutout. 😁

[@brendasorenson6186]

Patsy released Crazy in 1961. And, yes, Willie Nelson wrote it. Huge hit for Patsy. AND BRING JILLIAN BACK! Love the dynamics between the two of you!

[@vickiadkins9844]

I think Willie Nelson wrote this

[@joycep7879]

I may be wrong, but I think you already did If a man loves a woman. But Ninja needs to watch it.

[@teresacartwright5406]

This was written by Willie Nelson and originally recorded by the late Patsy Cline in 1961. Austin sings it in the same key as Patsy Cline (he also sings Etta Place's "At Last" in her key - it's on his channel). Of course the harmonies & beatboxing are perfect - it's Home Free, they always are.

[@beckiramsey9561]

One of my most favorites, Austin does this one beautifully, I believe in the Sam key as Patsy! Gorgeous!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Glad you did it!!❤

[@momD612]

Yessss!!! Ninja! Ninja! Ninja! ❤❤ i love when she joins the reactions! Y'all are just too adorable 😍

[@bethanneturen3270]

This is one of my favs. Austin sings in the same key of patsy Clinr

[@rickconder8270]

Jeremy I love your reactions to HOME FREE and I saw in one of your videos that you like their song mash up vids. You Need to do their BOON DOCKS/FISHIN IN THE DARK mash up video. These are 2 great songs performed by Little Big Town and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band .You will love this mash up. You only have about 200 more their songs to react to. Keep on keepin on !

[@marylee7467]

Jeremy the song you were singing was Crazy On You by Heart. Lol. And as usual Austin is singing in the same key as Patsy Cline sang. I love the vibe of this. Thanks for the reaction.

[@kevinboothe9991]

They did this in the same key that Patsy sang it in

[@rllangevin3841]

A beautifully done classic! Ninja, we love when you join Jeremy on Home Free Fridays!

[@connieharmon2408]

Beautiful ❤

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

Thanks for another trio of Home Free numbers! Fridays are more fun with you and HF, and Jillian, too. This one was crazy "Easy Listening".

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Yall are adorable! Thank you for this reaction, the original is one of my favorite songs and Home Free did an amazing job.

[@roniboyd613]

❤❤❤❤ I enjoy your technical reaction.

[@dianel222]

Depending on my mood, I focus on different parts of the song, although I love Tim’s bass line in this song. And I still find myself surprised after listening many, many times. 💜

[@belinda9696]

I was fascinated by the brush on the snare sound from Adam, I mean I've never heard anyone do it so accurately and there was one song on the Sing-Off show that they did with the judge Jewel and that was the first time I had heard it and I'm sure the judges were impressed by that then too.

[@vickiadkins9844]

Stunning

[@beadwright]

Patsy Cline's daughter gave her stamp of approval on the guys version of her mother's famous song. So cool.

[@richb313]

This is a cover of a song made famous by Patsy Cline.

[@brshep6098]

This will always be Patsy's song alone but our HF did a great job covering it!

[@marshac7738]

Classic! And singing it in the same key as Patsy Cline's original is fabulous❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️

[@dawnmanzetti1633]

I love this HomeFree cover 👍❤️👏

[@floprather4262]

Austin's voice is so smooth and great for this song.

[@wolfe6220]

I love the research that Adam puts into his vocal percussion. It the time period/song called for brushes, he'll know it. Either that or he was a drum kit in a previous life.

[@karinfichtner7479]

I know this sounds sacrilegious, but I was not the biggest Patsy Cline fan. (BTW, Austin sang this in Patsy's key) That being said, I have always liked this song, and this is now my favorite version of it. I love when you two are a tag team.😊

[@minneyruth]

I'm not a fan of this one BUT they sounded great ❤ and wanted to give y'all the view 🥰🥰

[@andreaislandgirl720]

If you do listen to this again, please listen to how amazing Austin is in this. As someone already said, he did it in the same key as Patsy Cline! On Austin's KZbin page, you can find him singing "At Last" by Etta James, and he also sings it in the same key. I love it when Ninja joins you, she provides a different perspective than you which is great because as you know, music hits everyone differently.

[@changlyn100]

Classic song that takes a lot of breath control to sing. Adam was great. Austin did the song justice. Great reaction! It was also great to see Ninja reacting too!

[@angwatts]

Patsy Cline :-)

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

I think Patsy would have been proud. They paid such respect to her and the song. Austin ...just, wow!

[@babyfry4775]

Love this and yes, I heard those brushes too. Adam is just amazing. Austin killed it too. I think Patsy would be proud. 😍 Good to see you and Ninja!

[@billsturm9225]

I know of of at least one drummer who asked Adam face to face if he would record a bunch of sounds for this drummer to put into his electronic kit as a sound set.

I loved watching Jillian just melting into the song and Jeremy lost in drum land. That’s the wonderful thing about music, we all find our joy with it in different ways! And I always love when the Ninja joins in the fun! ❤️🎶

[@sandralorenz1796]

Written by Willie Nelson. Recorded by Patsy Cline.

[@sadiemc_63]

you should definitely check out the version by Patsy Cline

[@angelamason9840]

Thank you both! I always listen for Adam’s beatboxing and singing. He has the largest range and is my favorite tenor in the group!

[@tinah8833]

The song you were thinking of Jeremy was " The Way We Were" by Barbra Streisand, with the line " Misty watercolored memories...

[@patriciaemeigh4370]

Enjoy the interaction between you two. Love this song. Sn oldie but goodie!!

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

Regardless of what slick studio technology may be applied THIS GUY AUSTIN BROWN is singing this in the same KEY as PATSY CLINE did back in the day. That is a hell of a voice - as well as the others who are incredible too. GBjj

[@anitawright7169]

This is so very awesome! Got to love Home Free! Thank you, Jeremy and Jillian. Love your reactions!

[@csutton161]

if you close your eyes, you can picture Patsy Cline singing. What a great job Home Free did on this song.

[@sharonmortimer3843]

They did such a beautiful version of this song. I think that Austin did an amazing job with the lead. Really enjoyed watching your reactions to this song.

[@nancyholter5646]

You are right, Adam's drums are 'realistic' and if you are brushing either cymbal or snare and then do a fill, you WILL be using the brushes.

[@susanhorn4325]

Austin does such a beautiful job with these classic songs and the black and white video has such a ‘60s vibe. The subdued background vocals and percussion are perfect.

[@playlester]

This song was hard to get recorded originally. After Willie Nelson wrote it he shopped it all over Nashville. Finally Patsy Cline agreed to record it. It was a huge hit.

[@martinhafner2201]

They did this in a 50's doo-wop singing group style, at least the backup vocals. Back then before heavy rock the drums were used differently and were perhaps more influenced by jazz drumming styles. At least that's how it sounds to me. Kudos to Adam Rupp for pulling off that sound so well.

[@MyLorissa]

How about talking about the featured singer, Austin, & how great he sounded, along with the other guys backing him up! He sang this in the same key as Patsy! Beautiful song & so well done!

[@danivansuperstar]

I just got a chance to listen to your reaction today. Told you, Ninja! You were already in the right key before it even started. That's what we call relative pitch. Anyway, Rupp really shines in this one for me. Who even "beatboxes" drum brushes like that? He really is a musician's musician. Thanks, Nancy, for requesting this one. I always forget about it. And the jazz chords, love it.

[@ronaldayers3447]

Willie wrote it and sold it to Patsy if I'm not mistaken for $400 . Over the years it's been recorded God only knows how many times. Million dollar song sold for a little bit of nothing

[@kathleenwilson2708]

One of my all time favorites from Patsy Cline and #HomeFree ‘s version is marvelous! 😍.

[@candleburner2006]

I'm a big Patsy Cline fan, my mom listened to her a lot so I heard it a lot growing up. I was so glad the guys didn't change it up to much but the song was perfect for them

[@richarddaugherty8583]

OMG, you must go back and listen to Patsy Cline's version. She died way too young (in a plane crash) at 30 years old. One of the most distinctive voices I've ever heard. Willie Nelson wrote this song when he was a starving artist and sold this song and another one the same week. Patsy made it an instant classic. The guys honored the original which had a beautiful spare opening and accompaniment, and Austin sang it in the same key that Patsy did... very difficult for a male voice! I loved the way they treated the song, and you're right, both versions are way too short for something so poignant and beautiful. I hadn't heard Patsy's version in decades, and came back to it on KZbin one day... it must have been my mood that day because I was instant waterworks! That's the measure of talent, when an artist can make you feel the song.

[@kimking6036]

Willie was writing songs but not really singing. He played this song for Patsy's husband. So at like 2 am they woke Patsy up to hear it. And the rest is history

[@bernieregnier4500]

The capability of excellence by each of the individuals in this group is off the charts awesome that allows them the flexibility to do so many types of vocalizations and to do it exceptionally well. I have not found a genre they are afraid to tackle whether individually or as a group they are amazing. Then top that off with their arrangements that augment the presentation to be "Home Free" owned. ❣

[@dianadickerson749]

This was sung in her key, Austin ripped this one.

[@cindywynn5161]

Love this song so. much...Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend. 🎉🎉❤❤🎉🎉

[@Blondemom2855]

Hey Kathy, here - This song was a classic back in the day. Patsy Cline was the first to really make it her own. Willie Nelson wrote and released it. I love his version. But Home Free always does an amazing job on anything they cover! Thanks for reacting to this one. I am a "Home Frie' fan. And yes, you can't miss Adams drumming in this one or anyone he does!

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks so much, Kathy. Great comment!

[@SA-hf3fu]

@@musikbyjh Fingers crossed for you! 🥰

[@changlyn100]

Patsy Cline made this song famous without any auto tune and minimal background music. A brush has a pull at the end of it to control how wide spread you want the brush. Patsy died in an airplane crash after doing a benefit for war bonds. So many musicians, Big Bopper, Stevie Ray, Buddy Holly, part of Lynyrd Skinner musicians. I know there are more I just can't think of them right now. I think I would be taking a train
