Hey Home Fries - if you liked Home FrYday today, wait until Tuesday, July 4th!! In honor of Independence Day, I'm hosting Home FREEDOM day and will release FIVE Home Free reactions starting at 8am EDT. Hope you enjoy!! Peace, y'all!! ✌

[@terimingle8957]

I’ll be watching!! Thank you! ❤

[@Laura_Martin42]

Can't wait!

[@susansundaram6737]

What a great idea. Thanks so much. 🧨

[@minneyruth]

😲🤘🤠🤘

[@rfitzsimons55]

Chance did the mouth harp in Man of Constant Sorrow. 🙂👍🏼

[@rickconder8270]

That was Chance on the mimic guitar licks. All of these guys are capable of instrument vocalization.

[@shellymaxham8009]

Yes, Skull and Bones! It's awesome 😊

[@richb313]

The Doobie Brothers had some massive hits in the 70's and were vey difficult to cover these guys highlighted the Doobie Brothers yet made this song their own.

[@hollyj5683]

Aww the look on your face when you realized that you knew this! 🤪🤪🤪. The was a classic Doobie song!

[@leslieoneal4464]

Adam was the one doing the high slides. Not sure who was doing the guitar sounds in this one, but usually whenever you hear guitar, it's Chance (sometimes Austin, but since he was singing lead here, it probably was Chance). 👍😉 You still have a LOT of material to get through! Haha They do mimic other instruments occasionally...guitar plucking (usually Chance), bass (usually Tim), slide guitar, steel guitar, horns even! The harmonica, of course (both Adam & Austin)...and Chance's jaw harp (in "Man of Constant Sorrow"). Both Chance & Adam are great at throat singing/overtones! Wait 'til you hear the beginning of their newest song, "Skull and Bones"!! OMG!! Chance starts singing bass lead, with Tim singing an octave lower (!!), and Adam singing overtones!! 😳🤯❤🔥 It doesn't even sound possible! I suggest you do a 2-fer with the full length "lyrics video" (put out by Ubisoft, I'm assuming) with only the videogame scenes & lyrics playing on screen...AND also throw in the MUCH shorter LIVE version HF performed at Summer Game Fest 2023! You can watch them on stage and get more of an idea who's doing what. 👍 Chance leads & plays guitar. Austin plays mandolin for the first part. All drums are Adam (and he kills it!), and he also does the chanting "Skull and Bones"! The lyric video was edited and the awesome tenor vocals by Rob & Austin were wayyy muted for some reason. 😕 You can really hear them soar in the live version!! ❤ The guys have said there's an official video coming later in the year where we'll get to see our favorite pirates again!! Yeaaa 🏴‍☠️ This was such a cool thing for our guys!! Apparently Ubisoft heard the "Sea Shanty Medley" they put out during lockdown & contacted them to write & perform a new shanty for the new game that's slated for beta testing in August. The game has been in production for quite awhile now & HF has had to sit on this little secret for about a year!! Lol Bet they're glad the cat's out of the bag finally! 😂🔥 Please do it SOON!!! 🎶❤👀🤯

[@brendagrothier967]

This proves Home Free is much more than a country vocal band....which I never did anyway. Tim can sound like a bass guitar

[@pennygarrity386]

I KNEW you would love this one!!!! It's amazing that the Doobie Brothers used 2 drum sets, guitars, keyboards and other instruments to create this icon song and 50 yrs later HF took it to the next level using only Adam and their own vocal talents. I love all the new sounds Adam added especially that eerily beautiful high note at the beginning and during the breakdown. Is it any wonder Tim says Adam is the magic of HF

[@mimigina7439]

Chance did the juice harp on ‘constant sorrow’, not Adam. Love your reactions and love Home Free. Waiting for more!

[@babyfry4775]

I think Adam was doing the majority of the sounds but Tim and Austin can do guitar sounds too. This is so much fun. Adam was crazy good. Loved Tim’s low notes! Have a good 4th Jeremy!😍🤩

[@JoanN63]

This is simply excellent again!! I have been a fan of the Doobie Brothers for a long time. This song is just timeless. It still swings. Really something for Home Free. So great sung, so great harmonies, bone-feeling bass, but for me it's Adam who makes it truly phenomenal. He nailed it!! The vocal percussion/vocal sounds is just inhumane. So unbelievably good. For me the very best beatboxer/vocal percussionist/mouth artist there is. And I haven't even mentioned his appearance yet. 😊😉 He's so handsome. I do like that he has his hair a bit longer again and then with that bandana on. Love it, love Home Free💖

[@anitawright7169]

They killed this. The Doobie Brothers would be so very proud! Absolutely loved your reaction!

[@Mikki44]

Chance plays a mean no guitar.

[@rachelhurst3224]

I figure it was Chance... but Austin also does a no guitar (Do You Hear What I Hear)

[@kimmillard6915]

I knew you would like it! It has a lot going on. Chance plays a great guitar. And Adam…….what can we say!?!?! He was also doing the high pitched sounds some too. Adam is a tenor when he sings and he does sing some in some of the songs. This may take a couple listens to figure out who is doing what!

[@reneroberson2784]

These boys never fail at anything.. They do every song to perfection and make it their own.. what can you say about Home Free?? They are aliens❤❤❤🏡🆓🏡🍟 they do the original singers proud I'm telling you these guys are amazing.. Adam Rupp is doing all the high-pitched notes when they stop and do the breakdown watch Adam you can see his mouth as he's hitting those high notes.. Adam is killing it in this song with the rhythm..❤❤

[@Laura_Martin42]

I'm so glad you did this one! I knew you would like it!

[@patriciavernon9795]

Happy that you got to listen to a non-country Home Free song since Country is not your favorite! Also happy that you really enjoyed it, this is a Home Fry favorite. Skull and Bones that popped up is a must listen and is definitely not Country, you will love it! Thanks for another great reaction!

[@wendythrockmorton1811]

Just love the big grin you get in amazement when the talent is overflowing from "our guys"

[@MichaelMollard]

If you have a listen to Home Free 'Can't stop the feeling', you'll hear Chance doing a similar rhythm guitar 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYvFh2uGesasi7s

[@susansundaram6737]

Loved watching your reaction to this very high energy Home Free cover. Usually, my feeling is that with a large group of performers they should have the larger part of your screen; also HF puts so much thought into details of their videos. However, I do think it is cute to watch through the setting of an old television screen. Be well.

[@rodconner9079]

Amazing the "sound" they get. Adam R is the "feature" on this one ---- shows his versatility ... Highs and Lows (slide) and the techno bass drop. Be Safe

[@teresacartwright5406]

I'm showing my age - I remember when this came out (1972). It was played constantly! I love their acapella rendition of it, the singing, harmonies and Adam just flips out on the beatboxing! Great reaction! Love from Canada and happy early Independence Day!

[@rllangevin3841]

Loved your reaction to a great cover/upgrade - they made this song new for me and it just leaves a perma-smile while listening! Home Free has so many more for you to discover, please continue down the rabbit hole. You know by now they never disappoint! I second the comments re Sea Shanty, followed by Skull & Bones (both versions together would be amazing!).

[@starcarm]

No guitar, just Adam!

[@marylee7467]

And Chance. He does great guitar sounds.

[@dagmar.6954]

I grew up on classic rock & am a big fan of the Doobie Brothers & had their albums. "Listen To The Music" was a big hit for them back in 1972. Love that Home Free is keeping this great music alive & introducing it to the younger generation. The guys did a really nice job of this song. Austin was great for the lead & loved the background harmonies of Rob, Chance & Tim's bass. Adam killed it on the vocal percussion again. He always comes up with some new & interesting sounds.

[@kmwwrench]

One of my favorites. Loved the original back in the 70s (it makes me feel really old just to say that); love this one now. Slide guitar = slide Adam. He does it again in Cover Me Up. You're right. There's so much going on here that you have to listen more than once to get it all. Love it.

[@marylee7467]

Love this song. This is originally done by the Doobie Brothers in the 70s. Man of Constant Sorrow it was actually Chance making the mouth harp sound at the start of the song. Adam did the nominica. 😁 their newest skull and Bones was written by Chance for the upcoming video game by Ubisoft. It's awesome him and Tim are working the bass. Chance is the lead singer on it.

[@rosiewoodhouse5503]

You can see Chance doing the mouth harp right at the end of Man of Constant Sorrow

[@marylee7467]

@@rosiewoodhouse5503 lot of folks miss that. I know I did first time I saw it. But they are growing in leaps & bounds and I'm so happy for them.

[@lularoetracieandkimmirose3157]

Chance also does some guitar type sound in Can't Stop the Feeling

[@christinabrown8399]

To be fair, Chance’s first name IS Adam.

[@minneyruth]

I think this is my favorite right now ❤ the sound you have going on in the background tripped me out 😅 it surrounded my head I didn't know where it was coming from..... from my phone 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤷‍♀️great reaction ❤

[@kristindunstan172]

That "slide guitar" is Adam Rupp. If you look closely at him in one of the later shots, you can see him doing that part.

[@marshac7738]

Let the music play! Home Free is just the best--and Adam Rupp's vocal percussion is beyond belief❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️

[@Tessie46255]

Home Fry here! Love your reactions to Home Free. They can do no wrong in my eyes!! ❤

[@roniboyd613]

Thank you Kim!!!! So glad you enjoyed this great cover😊

[@carolburnett190]

Adam had lots of cool stuff going on in this one! The Doobie Brothers released this in 1972 I think it’s just as awesome now as it was then. Thanks, Jeremy!

[@cowboy1165]

I believe The high cord is Adam. he has a real high pitch voice, and Chance can mimic a guitar of sorts.

[@graceparker7003]

Jeremy you keep trying to catch Home Free out using instruments....I promise you IF there are instruments in any song/video that you will actually see them. I have listened to Home Free and seen them 3 times in concert well BEFORE Adam got the looper on stage (which was just done within the last year. Chalk it up to the overlay process in the recording studio. Just enjoy!!!!

[@musikbyjh]

Oh I’m not trying to “catch” anything. I just hear certain things, but don’t SEE the mouth movements. That’s all. Doesn’t mean they don’t do it with their mouths in the studio…you just don’t see Adam making the guitar sound in the video…but you see him make all the other sounds. I’m def well aware of layering in the studio. I’m an engineer. I do it myself. ☺️ But you typically see the guys mouthing the things we hear.

[@michaelhaynes6244]

They all have a hand in the sounds. In Man of Constant Sorrow, Chance was doing the Jaw harp while Adam handled the harmonica. Such talent everywhere. Love your reactions, thank you!

[@debbiehall9091]

This is just a feel good song. These boys never cease to amaze❤️

[@LynnRamsay]

The way I look at it is Adam is “drums” Chance and Tim and Austin are guitars And Rob pro whistler All are sound effects 😂

[@Indigo_moon]

Rob can also do scratching and other DJ sounds and some beatboxing.

[@LynnRamsay]

@@Indigo_moon they all can beatbox and do sound effects they’re just so talented 😊

[@cynthiamiller483]

I cracked up when you said this was your childhood. So this makes my kids around your age! This is one of my favorites from the 80’s. The Doobie Brothers were (are? no research) a great band. Thanks for such a great reaction to a timeless song.

[@cynthiamiller483]

This song is actually from around 1972, the year I got married.

[@jasonsomething6003]

THANKS "KIM" for donation that brought about this reaction! Yeah Adam Rupp went the FU$K off on this video, he is so much under appreciated in this group as far as vocal TALENT! Of course the rest of the group held their own. What's awesome is every member gets to shine i different songs! peace

[@jankreps5115]

They did a great job on this song!! If you want more of Adam Rupp’s talents listen to sea shanty medley… Or he makes the castanet sounds! I love this band they’re always doing something new! I love their surprises! Great reaction

[@lisaseverance6785]

Yes, those high soaring, slide guitar sounds were Adam Rupp. The guitar sound is a toss up between Austin and Chance as to who was doing it. If you want "see" them do it, in their cover of "Can't Stop The Feelin", they do a breakdown where you can see what each is doing vocally.

[@denise_landry]

🖤🍟

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

Doobie Brothers were great .... this was as RADIO READY first hit .... but, still good then .... Phenomenal now !

[@vickiadkins9844]

Well, another great one!! This Home Fry loves it!! Doobie Brothers!

[@susanhorn4325]

Thanks for your reaction to this great Doobie Brothers cover. There is a lot going on here for sure!

[@beckiramsey9561]

They did such an awesome cover for this!🔥🔥 Such a great song! These guys really can do anything!❤ Glad you enjoyed it too!!👏👏👏

[@sandyleewhite]

My childhood too 😊 Times were much easier back then, wish I could go back!!! (((Great Reaction))) 😊

[@changlyn100]

Thanks Kim! I love this version of the Doobie Bro. classic.

[@pudge5614]

Hey Jeremy, I think you should do sea shanty medley and their new song skull and bones they made for the new ubisoft game on the same video

[@musikbyjh]

Coming VERY soon!!!

[@maryhemmer7943]

Thanks Kim for asking for this reaction. Looking forward to July 4th Home Freedom day.

[@sandyblack2687]

Kim thanks for the request!!! LOVE HF!❤

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

I'm so glad that you reacted to this song. I'm always looking for reactions and there just aren't very many and it's a shame cuz they did a wonderful job. If you want to hear the most stunning cover of a song listen to postmodern jukebox dream on featuring Morgan James. Also Pentatonix Kevin's 5th. It's the backstory and Genesis of Kevin who's the beatboxer and also plays cello and he does that at the same time it's called cello-boxing. You'll just be mesmerised by his performance

[@sandrafryer4425]

One of my top favorites from them

[@sharonmortimer3843]

They did an amazing job with this version. The high pitched part is actually Adam you can see when it pans to all of them he's making the mouth movement. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this song

[@cindywynn5161]

I am a vintage rocker. 🎉 Saw the Doobies do this in the 70's. Adam, my dear! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@nancyholter5646]

The steel guitar might not have been Adam, there are other instances of steel guitar - for example Cover me Up has steel guitar harmony along side Adam's brushes. The same with the guitar - the guys are very good at replicating various non-percussion instruments. I think Darren plays with the panning just to keep us on our toes, to keep it from being boring.

[@johntucker4296]

How did they manage to outdo an original of the caliber of this? Certainly one of my favorite covers. Masterful arrangement with ad libs that were off the charts. Another 50 year anniversary song. I was 20-something and who didn't like the Doobies. Another great reaction.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Thank you for another great reaction video, wonderful commentary.

[@andreaislandgirl720]

In a few of their songs Austin has made a guitar sound. In the video for Do You Hear What I Hear, you can see him with his hands cupped over his mouth making that sound. In their live shows, Austin would also join Adam in making the harmonica sound in Man Of Constant Sorrow.

[@cindywynn5161]

Adam has a high voice....when he isn't slaying everything else! ❤❤❤

[@lucyFV]

Memories! 🎶

[@peggygross7409]

Austin may sing lead on this but Adam steals the show. This is on my daily playlist.

[@rayniecox7683]

"Working for a Living" has a good nomonica solo by Adam. One of their funny videos. 😎😎😎😎

[@kimking6036]

Chance did the mouth harp sound in Man of constant sorrow. Adam does do a guitar sound. It's really good in Can't stop this feeling.

[@eileeng936]

Chance is excellent at guitar sounds. He shines in Man of Constant Sorrow doing jaw harp, and guitar in Can't Stop the Feeling.

[@erintroyer]

I could be wrong , but I believe it was Austin doing that background guitar.

[@sherryb6051]

Chance did the mouth harp in Man of Constant Sorrow.

[@N9TheNoob]

thanks

[@tamipatterson26]

Adam does alot of the mixing of the beat boox stuff. Hes amazing

[@LordNomad28592]

I think they didn't pan because he was front and center in the video. The times you heard panning he was not.

[@musikbyjh]

Ooohhh that’s a great observation. And it makes perfect sense!! Hell yeah.

[@solveigaarnes]

The guitar is Chance

[@vinnieblair8576]

When Home Free uses an instrument they ALWAYS feature the instrument. They are NEVER going to sneak an instrument in. Austin and Chance do guitar sounds as well as Adam Rupp. Since Austin was singing lead, it would have been Chance or Rupp doing guitar sounds, if you heard any. CHEERS!!

[@changlyn100]

I can hear the part toward the end where it sounds like a guitar. Not acoustic. I know Austin does guitar sounds but I don't know. It may have been put in during the mixing. But I heard it. Love Home Free!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Wrong Adam playing the mouth harp in Man of Constant Sorrow. That was Chance. You can see his mouth movements at the very end of the video.

[@cowboy1165]

Chance mimics string instruments. You can see him do it in the Timberlake cover that they do.

[@rajeanhaywood8162]

Luv ya just for a common denominator my youngest name is Jeremy H. lol. Love your reactions❤

Hi Jeremy! Love your reactions. I don't know if you've listened to this one yet, but the whole Home Free group is versed in beatboxing. Take a listen to this one. Home Free - 9 to 5 + Beatboxing Breakdown, October 27, 2015. I think you'll enjoy it. Have a great day!

[@toddhutchins2492]

Chance did the mouth harp in Man of Constant Sorrow, so it wouldn't be a stretch for him do duplicate a guitar for this song.

[@KeepEvery1Guessing]

If you hear a sound, and say to yourself: "Adam can't do that", you're wrong.

[@musikbyjh]

I totally believe that now!! ✌🏽

[@bryanpscolka7280]

What do you mean panned? I have no idea brother. Please let me know. Teach me.

[@jenniferparker5189]

Its often easier to experience while wearing headphones. It refers to the sound moving from one side to the other. For example, the sound would first be heard on the left side of your headphones and slowly move to the right side of your headphones.

[@brendafrazier811]

If they ever use an instrument in a video ( which is rare) you will see it.

[@lschoenrank]

The mouth harp in Man of Constant Sorrow was Adam Chance, and not Adam Rupp. Easier to call the newer Adam "Chance".

[@bryanpscolka7280]

Oh crap. I see what your saying now. Sorry.
