Home Free- Take Me Home, Country Roads REACTION! LOVE IT

[@marymarney3843]

This song was originally released in 1971 by John Denver.

[@cmqguy]

Mary Marney yep that’s true. Then it was redone by Dolly Parton and now Home Free. Love the version though that’s for. Love their A’ Capella and harmonization.

[@lukebaer6258]

Yeah John Denver is the man. Don't like this version AT ALL 👎

[@serenitytoepper]

Yeah, that was the version I know.

[@Pilot545]

I absolutely LOVE their covers! Whoever does their arrangements is PHENOMENAL!

[@Mickey-gn4lz]

just saw them in concert and to say it was an experience is an understatement. everyone is right this is a cover but a great one! I love their original music. great writers and talent in one group.

[@rickl1401]

My man. This is a cover. This song is from 40 years ago. That said, this was straight FIRE!

[@ramonaljensen]

They made it their own, for sure!

[@tomthinyurembam8805]

@@ramonaljensen nice cover.....but credits goes to original singer

[@rondag.3761]

In the 70's my brother and I would sing this at the top of our voices changing some words to make sense for our area. We always sang it on our way home to Washington State from Montana when we'd go visit my Aunt.

[@ellenhunt8767]

These guys are one of the few groups where I actually look forward to a cover, but if it's available, you should react to the original...it was a ginormous hit for him, and one of the most iconic songs of all time.

[@phyllisb4634]

As usual, they did a fantastic job making this sound like their own. They always respect the original, which is a forever classic, but they kicked in a lot of soul and the harmonies. Adam is a master drummer/beat boxer. The home fries have requested this one for years, but it is very iconic and tough to alter without leaving John Denver fans dissatisfied. They hit it just right.

[@catiejaret908]

Thanks for reacting to them. I watched your video then another of your react videos to them which lead me to watching their channel. I can now say i am one obsessed home fry. Thank you! I love your react videos 😀

[@annemayseyfried8907]

It's beyond beautiful! These very tall, funny, all lead singers, songwriters, arrangers, multi-instrumentalists, are just beyond uber-talented a cappella masters, richest harmonies ever!! John Denver's looking down, proudly..😍😍

Also they did just announce that their album will be coming out later now in September. But in the meantime they are going to release 3 or 4 more videos and songs off the album. That will be incredible! Can't wait to hear/watch every one of them. Thanks Billy.

[@breezykey87]

I wore this album out by 1972! Lol Poems, Prayers & Promises! So, so good. John is one of my favorite singers. Home Free is my all time favorite and I will wear out Dive Bar Saints! I love that they've done 2 of John's biggest songs already and what I love about the Home Free version is, they have brought a timeless classic up to date for today's younger generation in Home Free fashion. A whole new generation is still hearing John Denver's music when they probably would've never heard it! Yes, John Denver did it best, for 1971. Home Free is paying homage to John without copying his original version and keeping his music alive! Way to go Home Free! ❤❤ Billy, you so CRAZY! 🤣🤣

[@SillyB00perYT]

love your energy man!!!

[@hilarypotter3334]

one of my favorite orginals by Home Free is Champagne Taste. it was written by Tim. Makes me laugh every time i hear it.

West Virginia really is beautiful country, and this is an awesome cover. Hadn't heard it before but they definitely modernized it and made a gorgeous song.

This is a cover song from John Denver. He was the original artist, that I know of. I was a child when this came out in, I think, the late 70's. Great song to cover and they did great covering it!! There are not many that I would listen to covering this song.

[@2HRTS1LOVE]

You should watch a vid of the home crowd at West Virginia University singing this, they do it in harmony, lol. One of the great college traditions, they definitely have a cool state song.

Take home country roads by home free is a cover song organ ally performed by John Denver in the early 70's

[@calebwildes1524]

This is a John Denver song. Home free covered this because it's a good song

[@stephanietip]

Almost heaven.Originally by John Denver

[@GrandmasGoneGamingLW]

The Wikipedia has a pretty succinct and accurate presentation for this song (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_Me_Home,_Country_Roads). I know others have already mentioned that Home Free did NOT write this song, in any way, shape, or form. They do, however, make it their own by this arrangement and their own inimitable way of presenting music in general. Glad you loved it. It is, by the way, one of the ONLY two covers on the album. :-)

[@joedale2386]

John Denver wrote and performed this song back in the early 70's. His version is the original

[@jackiepierce1467]

You should review the original. Home Free did another John Denver song, Thank God I'm a Country Boy awhile back. Another great cover.

[@stanrock2225]

Check out their version of Go rest high on that Mtn

[@PoutyLoki1]

"Almost Heaven" used to be West Virginia's State Motto. What is y'alls?

[@Gizmologist1]

Actually, Home Free so far, only does covers. HOWEVER, they always give them a REAL:LY beautiful and totally unique treatment. This is a perfecxt example. Have you watched and listened to their version of "How Great Thou Art'? That will breing you to your knees.

[@porkchop6714]

The song was written in 1971 brother!

[@Cindyannef]

I think John Denver is smiling down on these guys right now. They more than did this song the justice it deserves. Thank you, Billy!

[@conniestone2806]

Just realized you aren't watching the video! Pull it up and it's even better! You can watch each singe their part that way. And maybe you are just too young Billy because this is an old, old classic by John Denver! They slowed it way down and made it their own. Harmonies to die for, of course! No one done it better! Thanks for your always great reactions.

[@mamakittyluvsjesus]

John Denver sang this song years ago love John Denvers version but this was good .

[@Sol-kj2pj]

Fabulous cover of a classic! 👍

[@Coolrockndad]

Wow what a great cover!!! John Denver would give this a thumbs up for sure!!!

[@brendaalbright2318]

A cover! Why not react to the original Take me home by John Denver; if you are reacting to the music/lyrics. If you going to do a cover song I would think to compare to another cover of the song; Who did it best?!

[@blippacg]

That’s a good idea. Compare originals to the cover.

[@orlinlang430]

It would be a hard choice .... I grew up on the Denver original.

[@conniestone2806]

@@orlinlang430 Grew up on original too, but the words never affected me the way this did when Home Free slowed it down. More emotion that way for me. Always loved John's too, of course, but I am crazy about this with the harmonies which are always my favorite part of any music. And with Austin doing his thing in the background -- oh man! Yes, I am pretty biased with Home Free. Seen them live now six times, waiting for number seven!!

Billy You So Slow has entered the chat. John Denver 48 year old song

[@dperry203]

I’m from and currently live in WV. John Denver song and the official state song. Home Free does a great job. Nature in WV is beautiful! Imo Home Free covers are often better than many originals on the first few listens. But to me, this style while sounding beautiful is to, I guess the word I’m looking for, emotional. It’s like Opera. Sound amazing but there is to much feeling and a slower pace to be something you would listen to regularly. So at first I think this sounds better than the original but the original is a song you can listen to everyday and stands the test of time and fits most moods. This version you have to be mellowed out and relaxed to appreciate it. The notes are drawn out which slows the pace of the song. So it’s not something you would typically listen to driving home. So it’s hard to compare them but Home Free is a special event type performance. When you are in the right frame of mind there is nothing more appropriate and powerful.

[@adamshrewsbury1840]

As a fellow West Virginian let me tell you. You ain't missing much it's an ok state and the people are friendly it's very much like the Andy Griffith Show.

[@Dervraka]

Trust me, you're not missing anything by not having tried moonshine. I'm from West Virginia, I've had both homemade moonshine and mass produced. Basically, it's whiskey that hasn't been aged in oak barrels. Pretty much all you can taste is the alcohol, it's really a bit bland and overpowering at the time (if that makes sense). The only reason it was ever really consumed is because it was dirt cheap and easy to produce at home by poor country folk.
