Adam was scratching at the end!

[@KeatingChick]

From what I understand, Adam Rupp is doing the high note at the beginning.

[@davidgoins5417]

You have a good ear, thanks for pointing out details my old ears don't pick up. An enlightening experience. Good reaction.

[@debbiecrawford7925]

Home Free is the best

[@pennygarrity386]

It's amazing the the Doobie Brothers used guitars, drums, keyboards, vocals and other instruments to create this iconic song and 50 yrs later HF made it a classic once again using just Adam and their own vocal talents. That high note in the beginning and the breakdown was Adam not Austin. I love all the new sounds Adam added and am glad the bandanas are back. Adam looked like he was really having fun in this one. They have a brand new one coming out Friday at 1 pm and you need to check out their latest called Brother.

[@lberry750]

TWO drum sets, to be precise...if only Adam was wearing the flashing red light hard hat from the Doob's music video.

[@pennygarrity386]

@@lberry750 That would have been magnificent!!!

[@wirelessmikedj7784]

Adam has been working on his vocals for the last couple years, he is actually producing those high whistle tones....Tim has said, Adam has the widest range of all of them with all his deep throat rolls and high effects....

[@babyfry4775]

Adam was crazy good in this. From his high pitched notes to his drumming, scratching (at the end) he was amazing. Loved Tim’s low notes in this too. It was so good. If you want to laugh and still hear a very good song listen to them do Brother….it’s so funny. Good reaction Danny. 😍

[@marshac7738]

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

[@kareng1894]

Thank you ^_^

[@vadonnelly]

The totally underrated bass line through this entire thing ... AMAZING

[@doloresburns3301]

They have been Home Free since 2000 and members came and went until this was the group that won the 4th season of the Sing Off in December of 2013. This is when they were encouraged to call themselves a country vocal band. Chance joined the group when Chris Rupp left in 2016. There's a video series that Chris did which chronicles the group and it's a great one to see. Don't know if you've seen it already, but End of the Road and Brothers in Arms are a couple faves which have certainly been recommended already, but for something great to see is some of the videos they did during quarantine. Moonshine and Folsom Prison are one of those and it's incredible to me and a fantastic tribute to their production crew which took videos they did individually and put them together...they released about two a month all during quarantine.and all are really really good...

[@kristindunstan172]

It's so great to see young people enjoy the talent of these guys and the various genres they cover. Those high slides are being done by Adam. Yes, the beat boxer. I think the camera angle might be to make it look like you're watching them at a concert.

[@DanielEarnest]

The high notes are Adam??? Good grief! This guy can do it all!!!

[@kristindunstan172]

@@DanielEarnest , if you watch him during the percussion break when they show the whole group, you can see him doing that part. Check out his vocal range. There are a couple of videos on KZbin. Check out the most recent one you can find for Adam Rupp vocal range.

Adam Rupp the High notes here Beautiful Voice They we’re all amazing

[@karinfichtner7479]

I so enjoyed watching Adam go to town in this one. It looked like he was having so much fun.

[@bethcoussou]

Home Free always makes any cover their own while still keeping the integrity of the original. This one definitely rocks! Adam killed the percussion! These guys never disappoint! The new video being released tomorrow is another cover, but so good! It’s going to make everyone smile and feel good!

[@hellefur7861]

I recognize Chance's guitar Sound, he Also made Them in "Can't stop that feeling".

[@jpandmelody]

Hey Daniel, nice observations on this one. Rupp was killing it on this one and having Austin lead was the right call. As usual Home Free upgrades this already amazing song. Please take time to react to Brother. Definitely worth it! Others to react to should include: Blue Ain’t Your Color, Brother in Arms, In the Blood, Travelin’ Soldier, the butts remix to name a few. It’s a great journey with Home Free.

[@gk5891]

High tones (that slide you were tallking about) are Adam Rupp. I've heard it said he now has the second widest range while singing in the group.

[@melissakay6143]

Everybody's saying Adam just went crazy 🤪 on this one -- thanks for pointing out things he was doing that I missed!

[@cvonantz]

At the end, Adam starts scratching, , like us older deejays used to do during mixing playback.

[@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. Adam is doing the high notes as you can see in the slowed down section.

[@lindanearing4710]

This is fabulous. Austin's voice rang out so beautiful and strong he could knock drones out of the sky, Rob and Chance's harmonies were as rich and tasty as a Thanksgiving dinner. Tim's gorgeous bass was inspired and Adam's beat boxing/vocal percussion was insanely good. He's always adding new and creative elements to his repertoire. Home Free took an already great song, put their special polish on it and created a precious jewel. They crushed yet another cover. I love your insightful reactions. You really know your stuff. Thanks!

[@DanielEarnest]

Thank you so much! Home Free is absolutely incredible!!

[@betsybarry2716]

Love These Guys!! I Can Definitely Hear Tim's Bass Here!! Adam Rupp is so talented, love seeing him in his bandanas!!! Well Done Home Free!!

Adam now plays quitar, there is nothing he can't do!

Thank you so much for doing Home Free. This Doobie cover is exceptional...but most of their work is:)

The high note is Adam’s voice

[@DanielEarnest]

That just amazes me 😱

[@denise_landry]

I LOVE their arrangements! They're always so good. Thanks Daniel. Glad to see you back to Home Free. 🖤🍟

[@marthacrowley1644]

Hi Daniel. I enjoyed your reaction to our favorite a Capella group Home Free. They are the first and only Country a Capella group in the world! I wanted to give you a headship concerning Home Free. They will be dropping a new music video right here on You Tube on Friday, (11/4) at 12 noon. Hope to see you there🙂

[@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. With the Home Free twist while still respecting the original, it's 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 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.

[@dagmar.6954]

Agree! Many other beatboxers sound like humans just imitating sounds. When you listen to Adam, you think it is an instrument & then you realize it is a human voice.

[@JoanN63]

@@dagmar.6954 There can only be one reason for this: He is inhuman!! 😅 There is no other way! 😄 Or he swallowed an entire orchestra😉😂

[@lucyFV]

Fantastic!! Adam just continued to amaze!

[@teresacartwright5406]

"Diamond Dreams", "Love Train" and a terrific collaboration with Peter Hollens on "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" all have terrific beat boxing. In their live video "9-5 beatboxing breakdown", they allll beatbox.

[@judydavis7993]

Always love your analysis of HomeFree music 🎶. Austin was so amazing in the lead of this song. Having listened to the Doobies since the 70s they really did a fantastic job in this cover. You should check out their latest "Brother". It's another HomeFree masterpiece and goofy as well. 🥰✌❤

[@tomoovehk]

yes everyone is talking about Adam but so many reactors just ignored Austin:/

Enjoyed the reaction....so far, no reactors have even mentioned Tim's DEEP slide down at the end of the "Like a Lazy Flowing River" section....he really takes the bottom out of it! I just can't get enough of this song. New one coming out Friday, 8/19- "When Will I Be Loved"-They aren't Linda Ronstadt, but it should be interesting.

[@williamspringer1172]

I heard that slide. It hits pretty hard.

[@johnniekilgore9413]

The sound in the background you said you were hearing, I also hear. It sounds like an echo. And I loved it.

[@minneyruth]

So fun 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@chrisabel1833]

The old radio effect is simply an audio filter to remove the highs and lows in the audio spectrum that AM radio couldn't transmit. It's relatively easy with a modern sound board to turn effects on, then off again for a specific singer. It adds an old feel to the music at the beginning, and give the band room to pop the song into the modern era. In a similar vein, old long distance telephone systems only transmitted from about 300 Hz to 3,000 Hz, the rest was lost.

[@marlahudgins7038]

Kudos to all the guys but WHOA Adam!!!!! Adam is blowing me away HOME FREE did a great job of modernizing this 1972 DOOBIE BROTHERS classic song.

Wow, Daniel, great reaction and analysis! This is such a great cover, and you made it so much more interesting by pointing out all the detailed things that we would all miss if it weren't for you! Super job - thank you!!!

[@roimerlopez1275]

Amazing reaction my friend Daniel!!....In 2017, the music world was shocked by the bursting onto the scene of a 22-year-old singer named Dimash Kudaibergen, who performed on the famous Chinese competition show for professional singers called “The Singer”... It was just It was necessary for this young man to make his first appearance, making a cover of one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse", to be considered from that moment on as the best singer in the entire planet....No one in the musical field had ever seen a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges above 7 octaves and several semitones, that is, all 88 keys of a digital piano, which reaches a little more than 7 octaves and as if that weren't enough, sing the more than 12 languages...Since then all kinds of experts (Vocal coach, analysts, singing teachers, youtubers, reactors, etc.) have dedicated themselves to reviewing their presentations to try to understand how someone can sing this way...The incredible thing is that that presentation in China was in 2017 and 5 years have passed since then, but what Dimash has done in these 5 years is to further improve his wide vocal range, which is currently practically above of the 8 octaves... The Covid pandemic stopped his concerts worldwide, all with tickets sold in just seconds, via the internet, but at the same time it ended up catapulting him to the top of popularity worldwide...Anyway, since I think you are one of those reactors who have not yet met this impressive singer, here is the link of that presentation in China in 2017, with the song S.O.S. and I would like you to mention my name as the person who recommended him to you...You have to be prepared because you ar going to receive an avalanche of views, comments and new subscribers....I leave you one more recent video than the others, so it does not have the same number of views as the previous ones, which have millions of views, but it is a more complete video, with an intro, subtitles in several languages and with the improved quality of audio and sound....kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHW7ZHmeot6Bl8U

Daniel Earnest -- That sound Rupster was making around 9:30 was DJscratch but he refined it to sound more like classic 60s Funk guitar. Here's an example ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2WVanSFpbGSmtU ) You have a very sensitive and attentive ear. Do you also tend to perfect pitch ?

[@DanielEarnest]

I definitely don’t have perfect pitch, but I am around music a lot! Cool, thanks!

I don’t believe so. He is mainly providing the bass line, but I know that they all can beatbox to some degree 😄
