Home Free - Ring of Fire (Sing Off Reaction)

Ask and thou shalt receive. I'm not going to spoil it before you watch, but uh... Yeah!(!!!)
Thanks to Ingrid Handel for providing the video for me to react to, much appreciation!

[@cjsjr249]

I prefer this version, too... it'd be fun if you checked out the rest of their Sing-Off performances!

[@DanFromHali]

This keeps getting likes, and that may just happen sooner than later.

[@cjsjr249]

@@DanFromHali you really won't be disappointed!!

[@HomeFree_Fan_Germany]

@@DanFromHali If you are interested - I have the whole shows in good quality which I am at the moment editiing and will then upload the videos of separated songs to YT when I'm finished. I had planned to do this for a long time but this gave me incentive to finally start with it.

[@truckerswife5060]

"Do You Hear What I Hear" is AMAZING by Home Free. At about the 4 min mark you get a good dose of Tim's range. Also "Misty Mountains" by Peter Hollens Ft. Tim Foust.

[@DanFromHali]

Misty Mountain is coming soon, but I don't think you should wait for Do You Hear What I Hear, at least not for a while.

[@GaiaOne]

Oh yes, that bass run is amazing. What was s it? Five octaves in 4 seconds or something?

[@angelamason9840]

@@GaiaOne 5 octaves in 5 seconds. Chris Rupp Official (HF founder, solo since 2016) has an awesome behind the scenes take of Do You Hear What I Hear on his channel. His awesome breakdowns of older videos are the reason I became a Home Fry a few months ago.

[@pennymaple1817]

You should listen to his version of Can't Help Falling In Love - it really showcases his range. It's audio only, but I really don't think you need visual to appreciate his voice.

[@cheridampier2524]

This season of the Sing off was in 2013. This version is my favorite of Ring of Fire by Home Free, the one with Avi is good but this shows Tim more. Jewel was impressed by Tim's 3octave range but in truth he has a 5+ range. Enjoy your way through their catalog, everyone gets their "shine " time

[@HomeFree_Fan_Germany]

Yay - it worked - thank you for this great reaction! This was end of 2013. Or rather - filmed mid of 2013 and broadcast shortly before Christmas the same year.

[@margfried8796]

thank you for suggesting this to him

[@rachelhurst3224]

Would love to hear you react to all their Sing Off performances... especially their battle with Philharmonics

[@DanFromHali]

I think that is something that is very possible. I wouldn't mind reacting to what I can from that season and HF

[@jonathanscott799]

That battle is the single most entertaining thing I have ever seen on network television.

[@nancyt2848]

I watch their sing off with the Philharmonics all the time. It was epic and so entertaining!

[@patriciawoyczik1657]

I agree with you.....this one is so much better then the original! Thanks for a great reaction!

[@allisonreader8846]

The Sing Off is when my parents and I found and discovered Home Free and fell in love with them. You learn so much about their personalities from the clips before they sing. This song was when we knew that they won the show. If they didn't, it would have been a crime. They sound even better live in person. They've come to Canada to perform. (Even Saskatchewan.) Austin legit winked at my mom and I the first time we went and saw them in Regina.

[@lindanearing4710]

There's no surprise that they won. This is totally wonderful!

[@rayniecox7683]

Tim actually has a 5 octave range.😎😎😎😎 That's my Texas boy!

[@reginaminton1135]

Glad you were able to see this. Way to go Ingrid! I have watched them do the Sing Off so many times because the guys are just so good. Watching Austin and Rob look at each other as they walk down the steps just before Tim brought down that low note is so cool. They knew what was going to bring it home. Thanks for a great reaction.

[@steviegarza1166]

Do the rest of the sing off performances it shows their goofy side very well lol

[@laptopgirl09]

When a Man Loves a Woman! One of my recent favorites from them

[@rebeccagibbs8794]

This was fun! I have always preferred this version! Can't wait to see more! You should watch all of their performances from "The Sing Off"...and that's just barely scratching the surface of their talent! 😁

[@melissareynoldsvanmaldegia5104]

Watch it again and watch Rob and Austin right before Tim hits the low note. They look at each other, smile and have a look like wait until they hear what is coming.

[@nateeller2748]

I'm glad someone else noticed that and mentioned it! I thought I was the only one that noticed!

[@teniahayzlett2709]

I totally agree! This is definitely the version to watch!

[@terrichristenson432]

Wow !! This has to be my favorite reaction from you, I agree with you completely, Tim is an awesome talent and the second Ring of Fire does not highlight him as much as it should. I am a huge Home Free and Austin fan and find myself listenening to mostly our guys.

[@liztolley8488]

Tim has a solo cover of Can't Help Falling in Love that shows off his range beautifully!

[@DanFromHali]

Noted! Ill have to check it out, thank you Liz :D

[@dorothygarner9375]

OK, it's a long way from Christmas, but you really need to react to "Do You Hear What I Hear". You really hear Tim's range - plus Adam's beatboxing is awesome (and Adam arranged that one). And the harmonies are awesome. Great reaction!!

[@stacyray6853]

☝🏻 yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!!

[@stanrock2225]

So cool. They are on fire!

[@jankreps5115]

You’re right, They did a great job themselves!! They won the Sing Off in 2013!! Nice reaction!!

[@Cindyannef]

I love your reactions. They won the sing-off in 2013, so yeah, Austin was a really young buck back then. Probably only 23-24 if I remember right. All of their Sing-Off video's are great, because you get to see their personalities. These guys may be the most humble group of guys, I've ever seen. They always support each others projects, but are also willing to step back in order to showcase other artists, when they do a collaboration. Notice how red faced they got when being praised, they are still like that today. Fame hasn't changed any of them. Their live shows are spectacular. They aren't just singers, they are entertainers. When you walk away at the end of their concerts, I guarantee it's be with a huge smile on you face.

[@DanFromHali]

I did notice how humble they were, even shy when listening to the praise. It was easily the best video I have watched yet... well, out of the ones that have been published already.

[@par500dragon7]

When that hand goes down and the eyebrow goes up, you know Tim's gonna lay a low one on us!

[@ronfuqua2117]

that version is so much better thank you for doing it

[@marysartor4278]

So you should find the live video of Tim blowing the speakers! Hahaha, it's a fun one

[@DanFromHali]

I might do just that!

[@marysartor4278]

It's of I'm your man, abby zee recorded it.

[@MarielleSweden]

Not yet, it's too early on your Home free journey. But you have to react to Mayday. It's amazing. But you have to wait, you understand why when you watch it. Songs to watch next Blue ain't your colour In the blood Helplessly hoping Hillbilly bone Some girls do The list is kind of all their song 😁

[@charleneclaassen]

Finally! I hate it when people recommend the Avi version first, because this is my favorite version of this song. Avi is very talented and per their usual treatment of guest performers, they let him shine. But. That only works if you have already watched this version and realize what they are doing with Avi. Of course after watching a hundred songs we now know this is how they showcase guests on their songs. Thank you for being the first reactioner to listen to the Homefries and do the sing off version anyway. I've subbed

[@PrinceJediMaster]

I agree. This is my favorite version of his song as well.

[@Natasha-ty7oo]

Other good ones to watch are: my church(my fave) try anything end of the road your man American pie fishing in the dark/boondocks Elvira Folsom prison blues and after all those mayday(don’t watch until you have watch others)

[@sag2horses]

LOVED YOUR REACTION, THANK YOU

[@babyfry4775]

Yep, so good and Live! . Tim was great. This is a good version. Good reaction

[@YolandaHoversten]

Btw, I appreciate your honest reaction to the newer version, no offense to Avi. This earlier version showcased Tim’s super low bass, for sure. Thanks again!

[@juliehafenbredl4646]

I agree. This version is better than the last. Ttyl

[@Cheryl_Haydon]

This was the first time the world heard Home Free sing Ring Of Fire, and for me this is the definitive version of the song. Thanks to the downloader for this!

[@patrickdare5356]

When Ben talks about Tim being a refrigerator, it is a reference to earlier in the shows run when the group was criticized for being stiff in their presentation.

[@DanFromHali]

Ah that's fair. That happens often! Thank you Patrick

[@sallysmith5090]

Glad you enjoyed this one.. when you get five seconds .. watch from the Sing Off the song from the movie Caddy Shack . Im Allright a singing duel between Home Free and a group called Filharmonic.. Sooo good and soo funny! The Sing Off spawned many groups.. Peter Hollens started here too.. Catch him sometime when you can.. I am recently a fan of his collab with Home Free I Still Havent Found What Im Looking For.. and of course Peter and Tims cover of Fire and Rain.. Thanks!

[@louisetemples7011]

I agree with you completely!

[@grobinson7507]

I agree I like this much version so much more!!!

[@louisetemples7011]

" Cruise "& " I want crazy " is great from the Sing Off! Thank you!

[@susilou68]

I just LOVE how Rob and Austin look at each other - they know what's coming! Fab

[@edithdavis2848]

Love this version. He was in Boys To Men.

[@cindiegrimm5983]

End Of The Road is a must watch.

[@belinda9696]

Flub!! I love it haha! I like Avi, but I do like this version, although shorter because of the allowed timing, better than the video also.

[@pennyeaton904]

Great reaction.. you need to find a live clip, with Chance doing Avi's part.. he can go LOW!

[@larrywright4539]

Another video to catch is Home Free’s cover of John Michael Montgomery’s “Sold”. Tim gets down to an A0, and you can really feel it!

[@bethcoussou]

Yes! I do agree with others and I love this version of their cover of “Ring of Fire” better, although I do like the official video. This one just makes me happier because I watched the show during its original airing. I was hooked on Home Free from their first appearance. I don’t even listen to country music on the radio, but Home Free has introduced me to so much music I never knew about in the past. They actually sang the song in a lower key than in the video with Avi. I think it’s either a half or whole key lower. I can say now that you have become a true Home Fry now! You know their names and truly appreciate their talent! I think you’re hooked! ☺️ I would like to suggest checking out Austin’s KZbin channel, and Chance’s, too. Chance only recently started recording solo work. He has 2 songs, one is a short song. Austin has many covers as well as originals! You’ll love it. If you want to see Tim doing some solo stuff, check out Marcia G on KZbin. She has paid for a bunch of videos from Tim through MyFanPark. She has graciously shared with us!

[@roguemerlin1969]

You were right, you had already done this video. I have watched too many videos, I am starting to forget which I have seen and which I haven't. Anyway, I love your reactions and love this song.

[@DanFromHali]

Aha i do the same thing. Theres songs i swore i didnt react to but apparently i did. It happens lol

[@BSGNative]

Sounds like you may be a Boyz II Men fan. If so, check out Home Free's version of "End of the Road". It's amazing!

[@tracyz9155]

Yes. I loved this version/video too. Thanks for the reaction. How about “Your Man” which also has a live version after you here the studio version. Or “Helplessly Hoping” one of my favorites.

[@DanFromHali]

You won't have to wait long for either of those! Helplessly hoping is uploaded, and scheduled to be published at 9 AM ET, Sunday morning. and Your Man (Live) is the top of my Requested list. So I will probably tackled that on Monday!

[@ronfuqua2117]

@@DanFromHali please do a fan shot video of your man instead of the live version on their site the concert version is so much better

[@fnicolosi922]

The best part is that Tim does all the arrangements for the songs!!!

[@DanFromHali]

In the Sing Off? Because I know he doesn't do all of the arrangements for all of their songs.

[@fnicolosi922]

@@DanFromHali yeah!!!

[@Jeff-oc2rc]

Wanna hear Tim with all his upper registry, give Snow Globe a listen. It was written and performed by Tim himself.

[@thetoothlesscarnivore]

J D Sumner, Elvis' bass was the deepest of his generation. I think he would have been very proud and impressed by Tim on that one.

[@edithdavis2848]

Reference to Tim dancing and moving like a board. Has a 6 octive range now he's been working on it

[@iamjosh6027]

You didn't have to call me out like that 😂😂 Can't wait for more home free reactions

[@DanFromHali]

I didn't, I just mentioned it... you just called yourself out Groot :p But this was definitely worth the low note reaction. It was all around, the better song I've heard from the whole group... well, until the last one that I did which is uploaded and scheduled for the morning :)

[@cheridampier2524]

Oh you must mean Helplessly Hoping....I love Helplessly Hoping

[@jeanetteback5607]

Listen to "I Want Crazy" by Hunter Hayes with Home Free, it's also from the Sing Off. Both Austin and Tim show what they are capable of.

[@brendagrothier967]

They don't need all the special sound affects of a studio recording.

[@DanFromHali]

CLEARLY!

[@jc1400]

if you want to see Tim's full range, Watch Mayday and be prepared to be blown away.

[@susansundaram6737]

You need to react to Snow Globe written by Tim and lead by him. Hope you enjoy it. Also, their rendition of Auld Lang Syne.

[@susanwahl6322]

Tim has a five octave range.

[@giacomofuortes2703]

Great reaction 🙃... I would love you to react to long black train make by Chris Rupp and Tim, the best version I ever eard of that song

[@susanwahl6322]

I love Misty Mountain.

[@Calisto9]

You should hear Mayday if you haven't yet.

[@kellywilliams364]

To see more of Austin's talents check out his original song California Country.

[@roguemerlin1969]

You really need to react to another of the performances from the Sing Off, Pretty Woman. It is like nothing you have hear before.

[@DanFromHali]

I have. I have reacted to almost all of them.

[@BobbyV198268]

Stand by me - Tim Foust and friends

[@papa.and.mimis.country.life.58]

Mayday will flesh out that Tim range for you! I appreciate your HF reactions.

[@joanwharff6483]

I honestly like this one BETTER 🙃💖‼️ Oh, are you becoming a Home Fry ...yet !!! OK, here’s a Tim song (he’s got lead)...”IN THE BLOOD” 🙃💖‼️

[@brendagrothier967]

To hear Tim's range listen to What is The World Coming To from Dive Bar Saints.

[@srae1971]

I very much prefer this version myself. Nothing against Avi, but this just feels so much better somehow!

[@DanFromHali]

No absolutely, I think some took my critique as a slight against Avi. I just knew that hey could do better without him. He's an amazing bass, and an all around gem of a musician. This is just better. that is all.

[@susanwahl6322]

You should hear I’m a Survivor, Zombies vs Hillbillies.

[@amandadunning8701]

Ooooo, I hadn't seen their Sing Off performances, (I'm a baby Home Fry, just started listening to them about a month ago) but this was amazing and so much better than the version with Avi. Next for Home Free you should check out Thank God I'm a Country Boy and The Gambler, then once you've done those I think you might be ready for Mayday...It's a trip! I hope you're feeling better and don't get sick! Peace, love and light to all, keep safe, stay strong and we'll all get through this together. :D

[@GaiaOne]

Welcome to the rabbit hole, Amanda. You are so fucking doomed. Hold on while we pull up a comfy chair for you.

[@amandadunning8701]

@@GaiaOne Why thank you for the comfy chair! I really appreciate it, between Voiceplay and Home Free I'm set for A Capella music for a long time. I now have an A Capella playlist on Spotify, plus I'm slowly going through all of their music! There is so much!!!!! :D

[@sharonmortimer3843]

Please watch the entire season of The Sing Off 2013. Thank you for your great reaction.

[@DanFromHali]

That is something I totally plan on doing. I just have to figure out when I can do it.

[@floprather4262]

There are several video displaying Tim's vocal range (pick any one & react). React to Misty Mountain Peter Hollens feat. Tim Foust and you will be amazed at his bass at the end of the song.

[@DanFromHali]

Already have you covered, Flo! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mILSi4yXbax4qdk

[@bethanneturen3270]

This is a much better version

[@shercahn]

The butt comment was because in the previous song (maybe the first song) when the guys finished, Ben said he could feel a bit of bass in his butt. If you go to their concert, you'll end up vibrating most of the time between Tim, Adam, and Chance and those low tones.

[@DanFromHali]

Baha thats awesome!

[@marlahudgins7038]

and next we have Judge Take Two lol

[@DanFromHali]

Hey, I've actually judged a local singing competition before. So it wouldn't be the first time.

Do mayday. Oooh Tim💗💗💗💗

[@Jeff-oc2rc]

[@isaiahbangura4421]

Tim and Rob are the pranksters of the group. The beat Adam is doing is a carribean beat. If you want to hear some of Tim's range react to this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqTVeKRmpL1ljqs

[@edithdavis2848]

I subscribed

[@russirish89]

enjoy the video, but could you make the inset screen bigger please?

[@jonathanscott799]

This is the better version. Avi’s smooth tones didn’t match the style of the song. That said, Avi’s presence in the other video brought a Ton of fans over from PTX who may otherwise never checked out Home Free

[@vinnieblair8576]

You are not the first reactor to push back at the Mike McQueary comment, so I thought that was interesting. Shawn Stockton obviously had rose-coloured glasses.

[@drob841]

Was gonna say he looks kinda like Dana Carvey, i can kinda see the reverse flash though

[@lacynorvell4590]

Do mayday that is tims range

[@YolandaHoversten]

Austin still looks like a boy, so he’s wearing a beard. A lot of people pay for cosmetic surgery to look younger. Austin doesn’t realize how gorgeous he is without the beard. 😍

[@shifrabaila4074]

Actually, Tim can sing in 5 octaves.

[@johndeeregreen4592]

Mike McCary is more of a low baritone, who can push to C2, but doesn't quite have the power of a full bass. Tim Foust has him beat by a full octave with his lowest notes. Mike has a great voice, but a great bass? Not even close to Tim Foust's level.

[@DanFromHali]

Thats exactly what I thought too. I didn't know his exact range, but I know McCary has never sung that low in his career. Don't want to say that about a member of such a legendary group on video though. Avi was one thing, but BIIM is a whole different story.

[@tjterpsma]

You pause WAY too much my friend... Reactions need to pause at times, but not near as much as you do.

[@DanFromHali]

I appreciate the feedback, and acknowledge your preference. But if you would like yo watch just the video and somebody watching it on camera, there are others that do that.
