Home Free | Man Of Constant Sorrow | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@anitawright7169]

Home Free in my opinion is the best acapella group around! They do not have a bad song, All the sounds you hear are coming from their mouths. There are no instruments Love your reaction!

[@menoftomorrowchannel]

@anitawright7169 Thank you, and I enjoyed their singing! Can't wait to hear more!

[@teresacartwright5406]

Caution - Home Free is highly addictive. They sing everything from goofy to gospel; however, they always will sound a little 'country' - 3 of them are from southern U.S. states (Texas, Alabama & Georgia - the other 2 are from Minnesota). The band was originally formed in 2000. Three of them are also song writers so there are lots of originals as well as covers. Their beatboxer & their harmonies are incomparable and each of them is wildly talented. Fall down the rabbit hole - it's a great trip!

[@menoftomorrowchannel]

@teresacartwright5406 Yes, I will be doing more reactions to them, and I look forward to it! Thank you!

[@geniej9093]

Thanks for the request JB. Excellent look back at the Lawrence Welk Show for the amazing harmonizing. Well done reaction MofT.

[@babyfry4775]

Love Home Free. They sing country but they sing all genres of music. All a cappella and their beatboxer is amazing. They choose the lead depending on the song. They’re known for their amazing harmonies. Such good vocalists. Try End of the Road (Boyz II Men song), Castle on the Hill, Give Me a Sign.

[@menoftomorrowchannel]

@babyfry4775 Yes, I will look into those songs! Thank you so much!

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Home Free is amazing, each guy is incredibly talented on their own, together they are like an acapella super group. I look forward to more reactions to them.

[@jeannebrown3254]

Thank you for reacting to this. I loved seeing the enjoyment on your face. Home Free does lean country, but can do any genre; R and B, Rock, Pop. They have done a couple of John Denver songs, Country Roads and Thank God I'm a Country Boy. They have done Boys II Men End of the Road, and their version of Percy Sledge's When a Man Loves a Woman is awesome. They have collaborated with Kenny Rogers, Oak Ridge Boys, Don McLean (American Pie), and have so many great originals as well! Thanks again!

[@menoftomorrowchannel]

@jeannebrown3254 Really?! Thank you so much for introducing me to them, and I will look into it!

[@leadabo]

WORKING FOR A LIVING BY HOME FREE-GREAT FUN

[@glowormrdr6183]

You're right; Austin Brown, the lead tenor on this song, grew up singing in his father's church choir in Georgia. I recommend their cover of "My Church", which is fronted by the bass, Tim Foust. The lead varies on different songs, depending on who's best for it.

[@LynnRamsay]

Great Reaction!! Welcome to Home Free rabbit hole. The group started in 2001 by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They are the only country A Capella ( all vocals no instruments)group but they can honestly sing any genre and they do They won The Sing Off season 4 2013 that's where they became very popular. Fans of Home Free are known as Home Fries and are very loyal to the guys. Adam Rupp: Beatboxer Extraordinaire -Tenor can make any sound imaginable (A whole drum kit, harmonica (his Nomonica we call it )plane flyovers, trains, castanets, bugs ,birds etc).Co founder from Mankato Minnesota.

Adam can sing but he prefers beatboxing to hear him sing listen to How Great Thou Art or kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZ6UqZuPj86GqK8 They have collaborated with many great singers and legends Don McLean:American Pie Oak Ridge Boys:Elvira Kenny Rodgers:Children Go Where I Send Thee Billy Gilman:One Voice Alabama:Christmas In Dixie Mark Wills:Don’t Laugh At Me ( important message at the end ) Brooke Eden:Delta Dawn ( newest release) Any many more.

They are just funny, down to earth, humble nice guys.They are the best A Cappella group there is Sorry for the long read

[@tracyallshouse2730]

The group actually started in 2000. 😊

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

Love your reaction to my favorite vocal band, and your shout-outs to beautiful NC! Home Free has apparently captured you now, and I hope to follow you following them through a ginormous catalog of music. Each of the members of this group is extremely talented in their own rights, but when they sing together, it's magic. Who needs instruments when you have this?

[@menoftomorrowchannel]

@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl That is for sure, and I do appreciate you watching my channel! They are great, and I look forward to exploring more of their songs!

[@vickiemoylan320]

My favorite group!!! I love them!!!

[@cjsjr249]

I used to watch the Lawrence Welk show with my great grandparents, lol. Just subbed for more Home Free! They do a great cover of a song called Moonshine, since you brought that up! ;)

[@COORS5766]

Awesome video! FINALLY someone that lets the entire video/song play out with zero interruptions, no stopping to say wow did you hear that etc etc! Awesome job "Men of Tomorrow" 2 thumbs up!

[@dagmar.6954]

You have just been introduced to the best a cappella group out there. These guys are all so talented. They lean towards country but they can do any genre. They all can take the lead depending on whos voice is best for the song. They are known for their tight harmonies. Tim Foust is one of the best bass singers out there & their beatboxer vocal percussionist Adam Rupp can simulate any sound. This song is very old & is done in the bluegrass country style. It was used in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney. Some of my favorites are "Take Me Home Country Roads", "In The Blood", "Ring Of Fire", "Blue Ain't Your Color", "How Great Thou Art", "Elvira", "Hillbilly Bone", "American Pie", "Brother In Arms", "One Man Band", "Listen To The Music", "Sea Shanty Medley" etc.

[@justkaron]

Great suggestions here.

[@menoftomorrowchannel]

@dagmars.6954 Ohhhh, I knew that songs sounded familiar!! I love the way they sung it better! I just looked it up! Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing more of their songs!

[@sueby1962]

New subscriber. Great reaction, too! I love it when people discover Home Free. They are a freakishly talented group of fellas! They can make you laugh sometimes, they can make you cry sometimes but they always impress. Here's a cheat sheet on the group: Adam Rupp, co-founder of HF and the awesome beatboxer. Tim Foust, bass. He has a five-octave range. Rob Lundquist (glasses and beard) Tenor Harmony. Austin Brown, Lead Tenor. Adam Chance, Baritone ( goes by Chance). Chance replaced Chris Rupp (co-founder) who left in 2016. Take Me Home Country Roads is phenomenal but you might also want to check out Dreamer, When A Man Loves A Woman, End Of The Road, One Man Band, American Pie featuring Don McLean, I Swear, Blue Ain't Your Color, Dive Bar Saints, The Driver, Crazy and Folsom Prison Blues. For some funny ones: Butts Medley, All About That Bass, Champagne Taste, Hillbilly Bone and their newest one, Ray Stevens' Mississippi Squirrel Revival. For some serious ones: How Great Thou Art, Go Rest High On That Mountain. When you are familiar with all the boys and their vocal roles, do Mayday. And last but not least, Brothers In Arms. It is haunting and beautiful. They have recently released several new songs that you will want to check out. Unchained Melody, Listen to the Music, Brother...the list goes on. To switch it up..try Two Country Singers try singing Opera. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole!

[@menoftomorrowchannel]

@sueby1962 OMG!!! Thank you for all this info! I will look into these songs! I really appreciate it and you watching!

[@kmwwrench]

Oh, my gosh - Lawrence Welk. I have to say this is the first time I've heard them compared to Lawrence Welk. From your comments, I think you would like their covers of Hillbily Bone, Ring of Fire and Moonshine. Best a capella group out there. They have a very deep and varied catalog. Real treats await you. Enjoy the ride!

[@kylesummers1565]

Best rendition (loved the original too). Peace, Love some more!!

[@debbiehall9091]

Welcome to Home Free. These guys are very addictive. This is one of their most popular videos.

North Carolina girl here, and new subscriber. It sounds like you have a place in your heart for the Old North State, and so do I. I live in the foothills and love the mountains! It is crazy that you can go from The Smokey Mountains to the beautiful beaches in about 4 hours. I enjoy you and your reactions. I grew up with the music you are getting into. In my day it was about talent and it was real talent. Music today seems so fake. It all about smoke and cameras and not about the music. So sad!

[@menoftomorrowchannel]

@carolyncostner9619 Thank you for subscribing, and yes, music is pretty superficial these days, and I want to get back to what music was. That is why I rarely react to a lot of music these day! I love when music bring back good memories, and what is to love.

[@tygerbrite]

Loved your comments. You'll definitely vibe with Home Free. In addition to the country songs others have mentioned, check out their more Motown/blues/gospel/R&B sounds: Folsom Prison Blue, When a Man Loves a Woman, End of the Road, Blue Ain't Your Color, Thinking Out Loud (Ed Sheeran/Let's Get It On (Marvin Gaye) mashup. And a must is the Butts Medley (or Mixup).

[@glennvanzandt2394]

Truck driver here, just shut down for the day and saw your channel. I laughed when you mentioned Lawrence Welk. My parents watched it and I had no choice. New subsciber and I'm really liking your channel. Much success.

[@rachelkriese8383]

Love how you didn't interrupt the song. Great video

[@menoftomorrowchannel]

@rachelkriese8383 Yeah, I had some complaints about that in the past, so I try not to. It can be hard sometimes, but I do try. Thank you!

[@GaiaOne]

And...another one falls down the rabbit hole. You are so doomed. We'll save you a chair. You're about to be buried in Home Fries. Home Free is the only country a capella group out there, but they can - and do - sing every genre. And they have no lead singer. Every one of these men can take the lead, and they pick the lead for each song by who does it the most justice. During quarantine, they kept all us Home Fries sane by dropping new videos every couple of weeks. God bless ‘em. All the men can beat box, but Adam is in a league of his own. He's a world-class vocal percussionist and there're good reasons he's called a "Freak of Nature" and “the man who swallowed a drum kit.” For more of Adam's incredible beat boxing, check out Sea Shanty medley (the man makes castanets, for Pete's sake), his no-monica solo on Working For A Living and Ain't Going Down Til The Sun Comes Up (that video is on Facebook), and his drum solos. For more of Tim's seismic basso profundo, listen to Brothers In Arms, Misty Mountains (his collaboration with Peter Hollens), Folsom Prison Blues, or Ring Of Fire (the Sing Off version). For Chance's smooth baritone, check out Down to the Honky Tonk, Brothers In Arms, I Can’t Outrun You, and Folsom Prison Blues. (Awesome.. basso profundo and a baritone/bass in the same group.) FYI, Chance is singing (throat singing) the jaw harp sounds - without the jaw harp - in Man Of Constant Sorrow. For Rob's soulful tenor, check out End of the Road, Blue Ain't Your Color, or Bless The Broken Road. (Blue-eyed soul is in good hands with The Beard.) For Austin's soaring power tenor, check out Crazy, Moonshine, When A Man Loves a Woman, or Bring Him Home. (But bolt down your chair ‘cause he'll sing you right out of it.) For their humor, check out Butts Remix, Working For A Living, Between A Rock And A Heartache, Make You Feel My Love, Brother, and Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget. For their amazing arrangement skills, check out Do You Hear What I Hear. (Adam's arrangement. Nothing else like it.) For their tight harmonies, check out Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art, Brothers In Arms, or Auld Lang Syne. For their mashups, check out Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On, Fishing in the Dark/Boondocks, Country Fried Pop, or Woman, Amen/Female. The Home Free men are masters of collaborations. They put the spotlight on their collaborator, supporting them with wonderful vocals and amazing harmonies. Check out God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood, American Pie with Don McLean, Elvira with The Oak Ridge Boys, Children Go Where I Send Thee with the late Kenny Rogers, Don’t Laugh At Me with Mark Wills, Christmas In Dixie with Alabama, Delta Dawn with Brooke Eden, or Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For with Peter Hollens. Get at least five videos under your belt and then listen to Mayday - the official video. After Mayday, you'll be ready for Tim and Austin doing My Maria or Tim's mashup of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. Then, when you come up for air, check out Rob’s and Austin’s “Two Country Singers Try Singing Opera.” You'll need smelling salts after that one. Don't miss their official videos. The Home Free men will often do a straight, gorgeous vocal performance, but they'll add elements of humor to the video that will leave you chuckling or even laughing out loud. (Folsom Prison Blues, Between A Rock And A Heartache, Make You Feel My Love, Working For A Living, Brother). And God help you when you get hit with the Home Free Curse. They’ll cover a song you absolutely cannot stand and make you like it against your will. I’ve been hit by the curse four times now, and I’m not alone. Their synergy is phenomenal. Each is an artist in his own right, but man - when they sing together, magic happens. Wicked talent polished by decades of hard work. (Unchained Melody, Castle On The Hill, Seven Bridges Road, Only In America) To paraphrase another Home Fry, “They don't just own a cover, they upgrade it.” You are doomed, Home Fry. Bring ketchup.

[@menoftomorrowchannel]

@GaiaOne OMG!!!Thank you so much for all this information! This will make it easier for me to find their songs! I am already getting the bug with these guys, and it is a breath of fresh air to hear a group like this, compared to all the crap I have been listening to over the years! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this! I really do appreciate it! Home Fries!!!

[@ferreone]

My introductory trio of songs I always suggest to folks who are interested in learning more about Home Free - Ring of Fire (ft. Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix), End of the Road (soulful harmonies), and their Butts Remix/Medley (silly fun, amazing arrangement). These 5 gentlemen are so genuine and gifted, very down-to-earth, and they don't take themselves too seriously. Enjoy the rabbit hole, should you choose to enter - it's a great time. Thanks for the reaction!

Another Home Fry here! I just subscribed. Looking forward to your Home Free reactions!!!

[@georgefisher1995]

If you listen again, perhaps you will pick-up on the line about riding “That Northern Railroad”. It’s the song of a slave bidding farewell to all he knows and loves before he runs for freedom. First recorded around 1915, it was then called “The Goodbye Song” or “The Farewell Song”. An underground network (The Northern Railroad) of people that helped smuggle slaves to freedom, put there lives at risk if caught. Execution was usually the punishment for the white people assisting the slaves, and also for the slaves that dared to run. Perhaps a different chill may crawl up your back when hearing this song, rather then Bar-B-Que’s and chillin with friends now. The song has an excitement and eager beat, yet a very somber undercurrent. Perfectly performed.

[@menoftomorrowchannel]

@georgefisher1995 Oh my goodness! I am learning so much! I really appreciate that information, and yes, now I will look at this song differently now! Background information is so important and knowing the meaning behind songs!

There are 3 A Capella groups that I say are equal and are the best out there. 1) Pentatonix, who won the third season of a singing competition called The Sing Off. 2) Home Free, who won the 4th season of The Sing Off. 3) Voice Play who most members (and they change member often) have backgrounds with Disney so they are very theatrical. [8:39 AM] All three are absolutely fantastic A Capella groups. I do not favor one of the other. I listen to them all with equal praise.
