HOME FREE "Woman, Amen/Female" // Audio Engineer & Musician Reacts

[@lrfcowper]

Chance's voice has a softness and a sincerity to it that just works in certain songs. He sounds like he's actually awed by the woman he's singing about, if that makes sense, like he's letting us see this vulnerable side of himself. I often find Chance's voice is best for these vulnerable or melancholy songs. He manages to put so much emotion in it.

[@ppresley9208]

Couldn't have said it better ... love Chance's sexy voice !

[@brendasorenson6186]

HF usually picks the voice that fits the song the best. They let everyone have a chance to shine in a show or on an album. Austin said in an interview that both he and Rob were interested in singing lead for Bless The Broken Road, so they split it, and both sounded great. He also said that when they were considering Blue Ain't Your Color, they thought Austin would sing lead... until they heard Rob sing it. The guys all know each other's strengths and weaknesses, and cater to the song rather than their egos.

[@ryanellsworth7246]

That really comes out in Country Road. They took years to perfect it. Each voice elevates it to new heights. Truly a masterpiece.

[@sharonmortimer3843]

Chance has a wonderful voice for sure. They did a fantastic job with these songs. Always enjoy your reactions to this group.

[@daleb1279]

I think where you thought Rob was "layered" was actually Rob, Austin and Chance singing in a 3 part close harmony, they can sing together and almost sound like one rich layered voice when they harmonize.

[@higglety230]

yeah I was gonna say I was pretty sure I could hear Austin.

[@carolyntaylor7]

Don’t forget - Tim has no problem singing tenor. Doubt me? Check out Mayday. 😊

[@Katie-mb8zj]

To be fair, since this is a studio version, it is possible that they layered Rob for the recording, but for any live performances would have the other guys sing the tight harmonies. I do hear Austin more clearly, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t just multiple Robs and an Austin for the recording.

[@rachelhurst3224]

You can hear Chance. If you listen to Helplessly Helping, you can recognize the combination of Rob and Chance. Austin is probably in there as well.

[@mandymg98]

Yes, all 3 are singing that. When you listen to them enough, you can hear each of their individual tones and can tell who sings what without watching their mouths.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

We love Chance's voice for certain songs. That is why they switch around depending on the song.

[@pamelalee1508]

I love these guys..they're all man... The last word on Austin's rapidfire was Female..and so part of the title... Thank you for showing Chance some respect..his tone is very comforting..imo...I've heard reactors say he doesn't add anything to the mix..I disagree wholeheartedly...his lead in Brother was top notch and I've always enjoyed his contributions..all of his..😁... These men believe in Faith Family and Country...they are treasures..💚... 🌿🌿🌿

[@joycemiller3550]

I love the way they did this song. I like that you did have some nice words for Chance. I would really love for you to do I Can't Outrun You. Chance does an outstanding job. If you hear it and it doesn't change your mind then we just have to accept your opinion that he is not your cup of tea. Reactors are on here to say how they feel and if it's different from how a listener thinks or feels then it is what it is. I will continue to follow you.

[@suebee4843]

It's ok. You can like Chance and Timsie equally !! Different voices, different songs, different leads, but both are always so damn good at what they do. This was a mashup of Keith Urban's 'Female' and Dierks Bentley's 'Woman, Amen' with Austin singing the Keith Urban part at about 1.5x speed of the original.

[@Charlene-br1ek]

Wow it’s so easy to forget that they are a cappella they are just that good!

[@rllangevin3841]

A great song packed full of love for the women in their lives. Home Free never disappoints!

[@justann1358]

I don’t think it was Rob’s voice layered, but Chance and Austin singing the harmonies.

[@nancyholter5646]

There are a couple videos of them doing it live and you can see it is Chance and Austin. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean the recording was them (In the early days, if Tim was singing 'up' Chris did the bass line live, but for the recordings, it was Tim because it sounded better), but I believe it was.

[@leslieoneal4464]

Can't remember if he's done "Helplessly Hoping" but that's a perfect song to hear just how similar Rob & Chance can sound! 😳🤯

[@nancyholter5646]

@@leslieoneal4464 good point.

[@donnaflynn9615]

If you watch the video you can see Austin and Chance singing right when you mentioned about Rob’s layered voice.

[@beckiramsey9561]

Always beautiful, they are!!❤❤🔥 They can channel all emotions!!❤❤ Thanks for all of your HF reactions!👏👏👏

[@danivansuperstar]

Chance shines in a different way sometimes, I think. It's tough to put him up against Tim and Austin, Rupp and Rob sometimes because their unique talents are so "in your face" type thing. But when they bring Chance in, he has the most sincere voice I've ever heard. I "believe" him more. It's hard to explain, but it has something to do with his tone/tambour/timber/whatever. I'm normally a Tim girl, but when they put Chance in there at the right place/right time type thing, he sends the message home and it's everything. Thanks for reacting to this one, Jeremy!

[@ferreone]

I agree - I couldn't imagine anyone else singing the first verse in "Brother"...his delivery, especially in the spirit of the video, was so pitch perfect in setting the mood.

[@susanhorn4325]

Well said! Another song where I think Chance really shines is his verse in The Driver. The words just suit his voice and style.

[@danivansuperstar]

@@susanhorn4325 yes, totally agree! And “Moonshine.” He kills his verses in both songs. They always bring him in at just the right time. They know exactly what kind of secret weapon they have in Chance.

[@roniboyd613]

Thank you Wolfie!! I agree with you, there was a softness to Chance's voice that suited this song. That's what I love about Home Free-they choose the voice to suit the song. Great reaction as always❤

[@nancyholter5646]

They are vocal acrobats. At times it is hard to tell one voice from the other and other times there is absolutely no doubt who is who. They can add the country or remove it. Just amazing abilities. I hate to admit it, but until I was watching the live performances, I did not notice that Adam was singing during Chance's solo after Austin's recitation.

[@jasonsomething6003]

The thing about Home Free that kills me the most is how or whom may be the lead! If all the members can share the lead the better! Simply put Adam Rupp is simply next level making the foundation with the beats, but the other members.. whom decides the lead!? Home Free-"LISTEN TO THE MUSIC" is a must! Home Free-"COUNTRY ROADS TAKE ME HOME".. John Denver cover. peace

[@judydavis7993]

Considering how many words Austin had to get out for his short section. I was kinda surprised they had him do this part seeing that he has been known to forget lyrics sometimes. 😂 But they all sounded wonderful. Love the catchy beat that moves it along. Glad you liked it. Thanks 😊❤

[@nancyholter5646]

Especially since they did it live - but i think it was the challenge of it that let him remember the words.

[@susanhorn4325]

I was going to see them in concert not too long after this came out and I practiced Austin’s part over and over so I could sing along…it took a while. It’s not as easy as it seems and if you make a mistake really screws it up! 😅

[@judydavis7993]

@@susanhorn4325 🤣🤣🤣😍

[@lindanearing4710]

Versatility is the name of the game with Home Free. Their unique and different colors and flavors to each of their voices and talents makes every performance unexpected and nuanced. I think that's why we Fries never get bored of what they bring to the table. Thanks for a wonderful reaction. I love that you "get them."

[@Tessie46255]

Oh I just love Chance’s voice. It’s so raspy and I can always pick his voice out. Love it. Thanks for reacting.

[@JoanN63]

I love this mash-up so much that you don't even realize it's a mash-up. With each member singing the perfect part and Adam's magnificent beatboxing. And what they sing I also think they are so real to their wives. I had a partner who often said that he was happy that he had me, that he was nothing without me, etc. Unfortunately, that was also a reason for him to be jealous and really claimed me. And while I did everything for him and he went the right way, later on he chose the wrong way again. He passed away four and a half years ago. And because we had not arranged anything on paper, I lost everything we had built and earned together. Respect and appreciate the love you have🫶 By the way, I totally agree with you about Chance. What many also forget is that Chance takes over on bass when Tim takes the lead. But then again, the more you hear Chance's voice, the more you appreciate it. I know you never thought he was bad, but just needed to hear the right song.😊

[@vickiadkins9844]

This is a good one!!

[@reginaminton1135]

Chance is a great singer and can get pretty low in the bass section. What I feel is so great about all of the guys, is that they are all amazing and champion each other. So much fun getting to see them in concert. Thanks for a great reaction.

[@dagmar.6954]

Another great mashup by our guys. What a heartfelt feel good song. Love the lyrics & the catchy beat. All the solos were great & Tim's bass & Adam's vocal percussion really drive this song. Another winner by them.

[@caitlinseaton7546]

Their cover of “Yours” is my personal favorite Chance lead song!

[@momD612]

A great song for mothers day is "MOM". Its the sweetest video too❤❤

[@babyfry4775]

It’s ok to prefer one over the other. It happens. I love Chance’s smooth vocals. Tim’s part was minor so that didn’t bother me….he was doing background vocals mostly. Love Adam and Austin sure did have to sing a lot of words….goodness. Like this mashup. Good reaction Jeremy!😄

[@teresacartwright5406]

This is such a great mash-up of these songs - needless to say (but I'm gonna anyway) the singing, harmonies & beatboxing are perfect. I get hypnotized watching their hands - esp. in live videos. By the way, Chance does a great lead on "Born in the U.S.A." Thanks for playing this & your comments!

[@susanhorn4325]

This might be my favorite mashup…I just love singing along to it. Thanks for the request Wolfie. And Jeremy, l really enjoyed your reaction. It doesn’t seem to get reacted too that often. As someone else said, Woman, Amen is a Dirks Bentley song. In Tim’s verse when he sings “‘cause that’s where her love gets in” I think he actually sounds quite a bit like Dirks.

[@HomeFryWolfie]

It's one of my absolute favorite songs from them ❤ Because it includes them all.

[@HomeFryWolfie]

Wrote this before i heard it all.. Thanks for the Wolf howl!! =)

These men are so good at mashups. I don't know how they do it.

Thanks Jeremy! 🖤🍟

[@itzel1735]

“Woman, Amen” is by Dierks Bentley. “Female” is a Keith Urban song.

[@judithboggs2196]

Awesome song, loved the beautiful harmonies, the snappy beatboxing and the message at the end, "female". *Poke at all those who can't define "woman".

[@jerrybaker2857]

With Father's Day coming up you need to be aware of "Daddy Do" by Chapel Hart (original). I like their way with words.

[@andreahamilton5947]

This is one of my favorites. I grew up back when Alabama was the most popular group in country music. I wish this one was on their cds.

[@brendagrothier967]

It's a good thing Tim with his bass hand and Adam are in the back or they'd knock the others over.

[@paulacrump4679]

Team Chance.......SCORE!!!!!

[@ferreone]

So happy you did this one, my favorite song of theirs. How they worked the Keith Urban section in was really well-done, because "Female" has a very different tempo. Plus the guys sound amazing, Adam's beatboxing just elevates the tone so much. Such a wonderful expression of adoration and appreciation of women and the love they have for the women in their lives. 💖

[@billsturm9225]

Home Free did a series of videos on the history of Home Free. I highly recommend you watching them, even if you dont react to them. They will help you connect more and know their story.

[@rodconner9079]

I can't disagree with ya at all. Elements of vocals is huge and with HF, you simply have a smorgasbord for the feeling and sound you're looking for (when arranging); the versatility is just unmatched. And this one being a mash-up of Dierks Bentley and Keith Urban tunes; mash-ups and medleys work so well with HF. Chance has that smokey smoothness that moves so well that is just down-right soft but with texture, warm and moving; it's delivery tbh and it is "natural" to him. Note: there is A LOT in that with Chance - the ability, sound, blends. It does take time with listening and so hard to catch, so good in fact that more often than not, it takes the visual to catch (and ya say "Really?" :). Love it! Be Safe

[@damonkoback9233]

Chance is valuable addition to Home Free. He does more than people realize. I think Tim likes to help him shine more than Tim sometimes. I will be honest Chance and Tim are my 2 favorites because of the baritone and bass they can do. Don't get me wrong they all are amazing singers even Adam Rupp.

[@carolynnaumann2306]

Love this group, great reaction !

[@charleneclaassen]

HF COUNTRY FRIED POP MEDLEY. Please. So much fun. I need to see your reaction when Rob does his thing. 🎉

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Glad you enjoyed this one! Maybe the reason for the stronger country accent is that this is a country song, no need to tone down the accent?

Don’t forget, HF has at least 4 tenors, if not 5 (I’m not sure if Chance’s 4 octaves includes tenor)
