Home Free - How Great Thou Art REACTION & BREAKDOWN by Modern Life for the 70's Mind

[@tboltaq2]

Whoever arranges their music IS a genius!!! Their blending is just perfect.

[@rebeccamccann8710]

Tim’s voice on the opening verse is so gentle. You can almost feel the restrained power behind the reverence in the lyrics.

[@georgefisher1995]

The amazing thing about Home Free is that there is NO competition to be in the spotlight. They work to bring to bring enjoyment to the song as a whole, consequently, no matter how old or well-worn the song, it always sounds fresh and new. I think as you listen to them, you will hear words and meanings in a song that you never really heard before.

[@loucatozzi7656]

This video was filmed in Austria. OMG, I feel so old watching you holding up an LP and having to explain what it is and how it works.

[@glennspreeman1634]

the bridge was their arrangement and now you know Adam is a tenor. great voice too!

[@allanhamm5825]

These men are the best in the business, and I agree that Tim Foust has such a resonant bass that his voice changes the overall sound. Thanks for the opportunity to spend time with you. Your insight is so welcome. I really enjoyed the show (March12,2022.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Would love to see them at some point.

[@EyeofStormTarot]

I've been a fan of Home Free since 2014 and I have been to many concerts. These guys are like brothers and in all these years, only the baritone (co-founder with his brother Adam, the beatboxer) left the group who then brought in Adam Chance (called Chance). Their concerts are an experience, The humor, music and family is an unforgettable experience.

[@shilohauraable]

They are like family to each other - best of friends! 💖

[@justann1358]

There’s a live version of this from an outdoor concert that was stopped because of a thunderstorm, so everyone huddled together under canopy or something and the guys stand on a picnic table and sing this without microphones or anything… and it’s beautiful. You should definitely give that a listen. You are right about the guys being really good friends which is evident in practically all their videos, but if you really want to see it try watching some of their behind the scenes videos.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hi. That sounds like it would have been a fun thing to witness. I'll be doing another HF reaction this week. Stay tuned.

[@mellowmarsha6166]

My favorite part of this song is when beatboxer Adam sings It Is Well... Check out When A Man Loves A Woman by Home Free.

[@roybarbara4756]

Surprised at how few people mention their version of " Do you hear what I hear", one of the greatest arrangements ever. So creative and it highlights all of their voices. I discovered them about a year ago and they have become one of my favorites.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

I know next to nothing about this band, so I love recommendations. I'll add this to my list. Thanks so much.

[@lisastevens682]

"How Great Thou Art" was written by Martin Luther around the time of the "Reformation." (Mid 1500's) He also wrote "Beautiful Savior" and many other Hymns. These two are my favorites.

[@debbiehall9091]

These guys are very good friends and they always have fun making these videos. They don't have a problem being silly.

[@sandychisholm1297]

A really Great one is Brothers in arms Beautiful and Haunting

[@teresacartwright5406]

My record player plays 78s, 33s and 45s (I have have all 3 types). I love this version. Home Free (in another video - Flowers on the Wall) credits the influence of the Statler Brothers on their music. I've always loved the Statler Brothers and had the privilege of seeing one of their concerts long ago. Listen to their version of How Great Thou Art - it's just beautiful. Home Free does a gorgeous version of it and does the hymn justice.

[@lindanearing4710]

These guys are insanely talented. Adam Rupp is the beat boxer (self taught and crazy talented and skilled) and he is tenor and his range falls between Austin Brown (sky high tenor) and Rob Lundquist (the lower tenor). He seldom sings, however because he's the only one who isn't formally vocally trained. You know Tim Foust the super bass and Adam Chance is really talented baritone/bass. The more you delve into their body of work, the more you will come to respect and love them. They are friends. The best part about Home Free is there is no ego. They put the music first. The lead goes to whoever's voice will serve the song the best. And yes, they are full of fun and don't take themselves too seriously. They are just good decent guys, who appreciate and respect their fans (Home Fries) who adore them.

[@jpandmelody]

So appreciate your reaction on this song. You'll keep appreciating their work as you do more.

[@janettetippetts7942]

That bridge was from the hymn, 'It Is Well With My Soul'.

[@MarielleSweden]

It is Tim. On his own channel, he does some Doo-Wop music. Check out his Will you still love me tomorrow / Stay. It will blow your mind 🤯

[@ronfuqua2117]

the high ohs you hear while everybody is singing is Adam he is a mid to high tenor and can hold a high note for an extremely long time. For a beter idea of Tim's range listen to the solo of Wil You Still Love Me Tomorrow it is from his solo album and really shows off his talent

[@miamidolphinsfan]

This was filmed in the Austrian Alps, about an hour away from where the opening of the Sound of Music was filmed. They were in Austria for an acapella conference. I listen to this version every morning after I've talked to my late wife (who was taken from me in 1991). This is from an old Swedish hymn and was penned in the 1880's

[@toddhutchins2492]

Adam has an absolutely gorgeous tenor voice.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hey Todd. I'll have to pay closer attention to him, for sure.

[@toddhutchins2492]

@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind check out "How Great Thou Art." He gets to do the call part of the call/answer.

[@WoobieHugs]

From left to right, in this video - Adam Chance (he goes by Chance, so to avoid confusion with the group's beatboxer) - baritone/bass - he sings bass when Tim is singing lead... Austin Brown (strawberry blonde, long hair) - high tenor... Tim Foust (bass, but has a 5+ octave range), Rob Lundquist (beard and glasses) - lead tenor... and Adam Rupp (beatboxer, and is a tenor, when he sings as he did here, somewhere between Rob & Austin). This is my favorite Home Free song. The scenery is breathtaking (Austrian Alps), and their harmonies are otherworldly. Thank you for reacting to this! Wonderful reaction!

[@dedejordan8078]

Loved your reaction to How Great Thou Art. Loved the info about the repeaters. I actually knew what you were holding...my Dad owned a record and recording shop in the 60's when people came in to listen to the music before they bought the records. Please keep up the history lessons...they are fascinating! As for suggestions on what's next for Home Free. You can't go wrong with any of their music. It is all wonderfully amazing! They are great friends. Since you like history, Chris Rupp (one of the original founders of Home Free - Adam's (the beatboxer) brother has an ongoing video of how they got started and the different members they have had in the group. It's very interesting and fun to see how they brought it all together. Also these guys all have solo work that is on KZbin so check that out too!

[@bettyjblake]

This is my favorite rendition for "How Great Thou Art". I listen to this song daily!

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hi Betty. I loved this as well. I'll often listen to several versions because there are so many out there that are just amazing. Thanks for listening!

[@sp72929]

If you really want to hear Tim's voice two suggestions you will definitely enjoy. One - their rendition of Brothers in arms - Tim is taking the lead for most of it and you can really hear his booming rich bass and... The harmonies are absolutely stunning in that song even by Home Free standards. Second - Will you still love me tomorrow/Stay - one of Tim's solo projects - all layered voice tracks are sung by Tim alone and it shows his insane range from bass to high tenor. They sing together in this formation since 2013 (except of Chance/baritone who replaced Chris Rupp-who founded the group with his brother Adam/beat boxer when they were still students). They are friends for many years and they really love what they are doing, it is obvious from their videos, behind the scenes footages, concerts... Whatever they touch - funny or emotional, together or solo is amazingly good.

[@lschoenrank]

I don't tend to think that we hear Tim's "booming rich bass" in Brothers In Arms - as a dying soldier, he uses a rather breathy bass voice throughout, wouldn't you say? So beautiful - their ability to give us all the feels is amazing

[@annakoch9972]

Their producers name is Darren Rust. He is really talented. You can find him in some videos.

[@JimmyOlsson]

And he's an awesome singer as well! He's simply world class! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX2WYZZ-qNd0bqc

[@leftalone4264]

The Hound and the Fox provided the drone footage for this video.

[@carold.8782]

You can see him in the classic, "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer". One of my favorites! Though I enjoy all their work.

[@lschoenrank]

@@JimmyOlsson THANK YOU for this link. I had no idea! And this completely explains why Darren Rust has been such a perfect producer for Home Free. And The Blenders.... That link led to such a beautiful song with so much group history, and THAT sent me off to listen to more.

[@markbelcher2972]

Great reaction. Appreciate the comments and the cool history lesson on LP repeaters. Never knew such things existed. As for this song…. Home Free makes everything sound wonderful! BUT, I also believe this song is divinely blessed! I’ve never heard it sung badly, and even when my own voice is out of sorts, I can sing this song clearly and on pitch no matter what. I think God like this song! 😁🙏

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Thanks so much. Also very glad that you enjoy my extra stuff. I find it all so interesting, so I try to throw bits in my videos that might trigger memories...or even introduce people to cool old things. I'll be doing another Home Free reaction this week. I'm thinking Helplessly Hoping since so many people have requested it. Looking forward to hearing it.

[@debbiehall9091]

This is by far the best rendition of How Great Thou Art. Home Free is incredible. I love these guys they are so extremely talented.

[@glennspreeman1634]

Austria is location, Chance is doing the bass background support and at then last note when Tim and Chance blow the speakers!!!

[@gertwestblad9052]

Have you heard Angelina Jordans version of this song? Her lower register is insane..😉 And that has some images from my part of the world.. Love from Lofoten 🇧🇻

[@rebeccagibbs8794]

Home Free cover of Helplessly Hoping, is great! Home Free is fantastic, and I can not wait for you to dive in and get to know these guys! I'll be back for it! 😉

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

I love that song. It may be my next reaction of theirs.

[@LunaKat9]

I am so happy you enjoyed this song. A couple of pieces of information. The guys are very hands-on in producing their videos (Chance has produced the video itself for several songs in which he takes the lead), and they contribute to the arrangement of both their covers and their originals, but Darren Rust (arranger and producer, whom they call the 6th member of Home Free) is an absolute genius and is behind 90% of HF's work. He belongs to an a cappella male group called "The Blenders" who are renowned for their mastery in blending harmonies. It is difficult to have a favorite singer in Home Free's contemporary line-up, because each of them fills a specific niche. However, they all have remarkably wide ranges and can sing each other's part when needed. Also, they usually assign the lead (when there is one) to the person whose voice fits the song best. So every time you listen to a song, that singer becomes your favorite LOL. The group is a chameleon in interpreting different genres and putting their own spin on covers, but they are always respectful of the spirit of the original. Next song suggestions: "Unchained Melody", "Country Roads take me home", and "Crazy" for classics, "Dive Bar Saints", "I can't outrun you", and "Dreamer" for originals, and "Castle on the Hill", "Love me like that", "End of the road" and "Remember this", for more modern songs. Given your interest in cultural aspects of music, I think you might enjoy Rick Beato's channel, where he analyses classic songs from the recent past. :)

[@daleb1279]

Adam Rupp (beatboxer) took the lead on a single verse from another hymn, It Is Well With My Soul, inserted into How Great Thou Art, and it really did fit so well into this version. Hard to find someone else who has ever done this song this well.

[@GaiaOne]

These men have such a fortunate combination of voices. The tonal qualities of their voices complement each other so well. Add that to their skill set, hard work, and talent, and it's suddenly musical synergy. Nobody has that like Home Free. Your next listen should probably be End Of The Road. Rob really cut loose with that one and has never looked back.

[@tomhansen4576]

I suggest you listen to HF's cover of Vince Gill's Go Rest High On That Mountain Church Sessions. They have an official video of the song that has a storyline with actors, however, the Church Session's version is them singing live in a church and is recorded and presented by Country Rebel radio. It is magnificent. HF has a way of penetrating your soul so you really feel the emotion of the lyrics and their incredible rich harmonies.

[@ericpotter4657]

The bridge is a portion of a beautiful old hymn called IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL. If you told me ahead of time that it could be blended in to this song and sound like it alway belonged I would have said no way. Never underestimate what these guys can accomplish. They can sing many genres and make them sound great. R&b - END OF THE ROAD by Boyz-to-Men, Soul - WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN by Percy Sledge, Rock - BROTHERS-IN-ARMS by Dire Straights, Country - TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS by John Denver. Funny/comedic HILLBILLY BONE by Blake Shelton, CHAMPAIGNE TASTE ON A BEAR BUDGET by Tim Foust of Homr Free. This is just scratching the surface of their songs. Looking forward to more of your reactions especially Home Free. Have a great night

[@usmadgirl3074]

This was done in the Austrian Alps. Tim also had a fantastic solo part in "Man of Constant Sorrow" that you did. This is the most beautiful version of "How Great Thou Art" I've ever heard! The bridge is Home Free's "special sauce" & it was sung by our amazing beat boxer, Adam Rupp! That's what makes them more incredible than any other group! You have no idea what you have in store for your ears if you continue down the huge Home Free rabbit hole! 😊

[@michaelbass1023]

Rob is the lead in their rendition of Boys to Men's "End of the Road"...excellent!!

[@carolchatham7766]

These guys did this justice they are so talented likable. And there harmonies are on point

[@vickiadkins9844]

Masterpiece!

[@marciaramirez3791]

An unplanned stop in Austria and one of the most beautiful renditions of How Great thou Art I've ever heard. No matter how many times I watch this it brings me to tears. The guys of Home Free are friends and as humble and kind as they seem. If you have an extra few minutes check out their video on the making of How Great Thou Art. Thank you for all the information you share with us and enjoying our guys, Home Free. For another totally different experience from Home Free I would recommend "Brothers in Arms" a Dire Straight cover and "Helplessly Hoping" a Crosby, Stills and Nash cover. Thank you again and look forward to your next broadcast.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Their producer is Darren Rust. He's considered the 6th member of Home Free and he's also a member of another a cappella group called The Blenders. If you watch Home Free's video for Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer you'll see Darren as the first guy who opens his front door for the singers and whose home they invade. (The others are a good friend of Tim's (bass), a husband/wife a cappella duo called The Hound + The Fox who have done videos with Chance (brown jacket), and Rob's (beard & glasses) grandmother.

[@jadaskye]

I don't think I have seen The Hound + The Fox sing a cappella. Their songs I have seen have all had at least one musical instrument being played. Do you have a link or reference for an a cappella performance of their's? I would be interested to check it out. Thanks.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

@@jadaskye Maybe I was wrong. The few videos I've seen of theirs (w/Chance) weren't a cappella. Now that I think about it maybe I'm just automatically putting that label on anyone connected with Home Free, like Peter Hollens.

[@robleffler6584]

Another suggestion for pure harmony, their cover of "Helplessly Hoping".. Well being chills.. Also add someone said below, if you like Tim, check out songs from his solo album where he does doo-wop covers.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Yep, I'll be doing that one this week since I've had a LOT of requests for it. Thanks.

[@dagmar.6954]

I think this is one of the best versions of this song. Tim's bass really carries the song. I just found Home Free last year & love these 5 talented guys. And the scenery is awesome filmed in the beautiful Austrian Alps (my dad comes from that area). They inserted "It is well" into this song & Adam the beatboxer in one of the rare occasions sings that verse.

[@JoanN63]

If you want to hear Rob's voice well, listen to Go rest on that Mountain, End of the Road, Catch me if you can or Dreamer. He has a voice like velvet, so pure with so much soul I think the strength of Home Free is that they can all sing with each their specialty, they can figure out which voice goes with which song, they don't have a real lead singer, the harmony, the great arrangment, no egos, no rivalry, but above all the fun they have together have. There are "serious" videos / music, but also so hilarious

[@debbiehall9091]

This was shot in the Alps. Check out Brothers in Arms especially in light of Ukraine. Very patriotic.

[@tassilo5949]

The guys from Home Free have the best harmonies I've ever heard in a band. This song is one of my favorites. The guys from Home Free make you feel the music. This is also one of the few videos where Adam sings :-)

I have to say, I've heard this 3000 and 1 ways -- some the same and some not ever heard before (and probably never again!)! This, THIS -- is the absolute bestest ever (for me) which I can't see being topped. This, what they do with it or how they do it -- evokes such emotion, not sure how or why; gets me in the feels. Anything by Home Free I don't turn away from -- they're that good! Be Safe

[@marshac7738]

This one definitely makes me emotional--and HF does that SO well. Besides the unbelievable harmonies--and gorgeous backdrop of the Austrian Alps--getting to hear Adam Rupp's sweet tenor actually singing is a real treat ❤️🎼🥰🎶❤️

Beat box guy is Adam Rupp. The 1st guy in line is Adam Chance since. Rupp and his brother Chris Rupp started the group. So if you see a guy that always has a hat 🎩 on its probably Chris. He is singing solo now but I saw him and Tim do a duet yesterday.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

I struggle to keep all these name straight in all these new bands that I've been listening to. Some day I'll figure it all out. LOL

[@chrisbateman5358]

You mentioned that it seemed that everyone was in their comfort range... everything they do you will see that they are "always" in their comfort zone. The arrange their song to feature their abilities. Adam Rupp, the beat boxer, is a natural tenor with a great voice. Please check out their cover of the CS&N song "Helplessly Hoping" (really features Adam Chance). If you want to see Rob shine - Boyz to Men cover "End of the Road"... for Austin Brown - "When a Man Loves a Woman".... for more of all - "Folsom Prison Blues", and "Mayday". OBTW, the bridge was from the chorus of an old gospel song, "It Is Well With My Soul"

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

OK, that explains why it sounded different in this song. It sounded familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Thanks for explaining that. I'll be reacting to Helplessly Hoping this week since so many people have been requesting it. Thanks.

They even sometimes post independent videos with just a couple of the guys in someone's backyard, or den.

This is the best version of this song that I’ve heard. It’s so beautiful. It was filmed in the Austrian Alps when they were touring there. You were right Tim is the bass. Rob wears the glasses and is the tenor. Austin (redhead) is the high tenor. Chance (short dark beard) is the baritone/bass. Adam (beatboxer) had the ponytail and sang it is well. He doesn’t often sing but has a nice tenor voice. One change in the band, in earlier videos Chris is the baritone but left the band to go solo. He usually wears a cowboy hat or ball cap. He’s the brother of the beatboxer. Chance joined in 2016. That’s the only change except Tim cut his hair during Covid and let his gray show. Helplessly Hoping, Brothers in Arms, In the Blood, One Man Band to hear more incredible harmonies. I subscribed. Good reaction!

[@dotwyness4110]

You beat me to it April, Tim has some wonderful solo videos that you will probably be in for a surprise. Beatboxer is Adam Rupp, tenor I think. I'm going to suggest Brothers In Arms as your next one

[@johntucker4296]

'Dreamer' is a very bluesy original song. I suggest not watching the video until listening first. It was a kind of tribute song, but not to who you'd think. I think Adam Rupp (the beat-boxer) has a slightly greater vocal range than Tim. Adam usually harmonizes in a tenor voice.

Well that was fun! I haven’t seen a repeater since I was a kid. As great of an idea as they were, that scratch sound you mentioned is why I rarely used it. Admittedly we mostly played 33 1/3 records (and 8-tracks) on our stereo we did have a collection of 78s as well. We also had a collection of Edison records and an old victrola to play them on. Thanks for the memories! The guys in Home Free are all good friends. And they love having fun. If you have the time I suggest watching (on your own, no need to make a reaction video) two behind-the-scenes videos on their channel. “European Adventures” & “European Escape”. Both were filmed during their Europe tour of 2020 which ended very quickly due to Covid. The first video shows them starting the tour, exploring the places they were in, playing jokes on each other and members of their support crew, and dealing with situations on the road including a tornado that went through the Nashville area while they were out of the country. The second is them dealing with situations like a change in bus drivers, concerts cancelled, lockdowns and travel bans, and ultimately returning home due to the pandemic. It’s a very good look at life on the road, showing both highs and lows.

Hope you enjoy your photography excursion to the scene to grab a few shots. I think you will find this locations just inside the Austrian side of the Swiss Alps. Enjoy :)

I’m 78, todays music isn’t the same as it was when we were young. I’m enjoying you and the way you are reviewing pre computer things. I went to school with Johnny Winter, his younger brother Edgar and jammed with them and Janis Joplin. There is one today I really like, born in 2004 and one of her early ones was when she was 11 years old. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKm5ZZt4mNx8fLc Her name is Courtney Hadwin from North East England.
