Home Free - When A Man Loves A Woman - Reaction - New owners of this song! Crushed it!

[@stanrock2225]

Home Free owns the cover of every song. They just never miss.

[@carolyngregory9092]

Awe you are a Home Fry like the rest of us. Welcome to the family😊

[@carolyngregory9092]

You must listen to Adam Rupp beatboxing live video. No words can describe his talent.

[@larryshair]

Thanks!!!!

[@joystevens4355]

They do own it. Please give American Pie a listen it brings back so many memories and makes me so happy. Right now I think we need some nice memories don’t you think. Just to add the home free version

[@benitapenick2084]

Perfection!!!! Austin's voice, the background vocals, Adam's beat boxing, my chill bumps have chill bumps!!!! Love it, love it, love it!!!!!

[@anitaharris9095]

I love how at just the right moment, Austin turns his head just a little and it feels like he is looking right at you

[@Blue-rl5dp]

We got extra sparkle and push on this one because his Lady Love was standing right there behind the camera man. He's pretty head-over-heels for her and it's wonderful to see such joy.

[@vickiekezele8520]

This is one of their quarantine songs. Austin did a great job. Adam is always awesome.

[@sandychisholm1297]

Cant stop the feeling oh yes it’s a treat .🤯🤯🤯❤️❤️❤️🕳🐇🕳🐇

[@kevinsnipes6511]

Incredible!! I have always loved Michael Bolton’s version for years until I heard this version of Home Free’s. You are correct sir. They now own it.

[@glennspreeman1634]

nobody can bend a note like Austin!! total perfection!!

[@ppresley9208]

I ran out of words to describe them a long time ago !!

[@teresacartwright5406]

The song's writer had a bad break-up and Percy Sledge sings "I gave you everything I had"; Austin's lady Amberly was in the studio when this was filmed, he sings "I'll give you everything I've got". If you haven't seen the "Stargazer Trilogy" (which he wrote for her) - it's simply terrific.

[@vickiestewart3078]

Home Free owns every song they sing. Please listen to May Day.

[@brendagrothier967]

I love how Home Free has no lead singer but knows exactly who should take a lead in each song. I don't listen to country music but I absolutely love Home Free. Sometimes a but of a twang might come out every once in awhile. In Brothers in Arms there was no twang at all. On the whole Home Free doesn't do covers of songs....they do enhancements.

[@Aprlmoore]

100%

[@MamaBe1963]

Absolutely

[@annehffry3284]

I agree with you, Home Free Owns this song now! Amazing version!

[@dagmar.6954]

Thank you for your reaction. Austin did a fabulous job of this classic song. Loved Percy Sledge's version, but this was taken to another level. And remember this was done during quarantine, so the guys weren't even together. The backing harmonies are great, along with Tim's bass. And Adam's vocal percussion is outstanding. This is why these guys are my favorite a cappella group.

[@robertleland4178]

Again I never get tired of your reactions, they're great. When you said that they own this song now, I agree. I stopped saying that they do covers. THEY DO IMPROVEMENTS! Again, thanks for the heart felt reactions.

[@tammydodge388]

You are correct! Just as Bobby Hatfield owns "Unchained Melody", Austin and the rest of the gentlemen of Home Free have stamped their names on this song! Love your reactions, keep up the great work.

[@wirelessmikedj7784]

Have you heard Austin song “Unchained Melody”? It’s on his channel 😎

[@200yente]

I agree. Listen to Austin's Unchained Melody. It's amazing.

[@doloresburns3301]

Loved Bobby Hatfield also... I was around when they hit the scene. However, have you seen Austin do Unchained Melody or At Last in Etta James's key? Talk about ownership!!

[@carinalindberg7377]

Nope, not anymore.. Austin owns it now.

[@robynmatheson7687]

I love your reactions to Home Free. I have to say, I never believed that I could like an a cappella group until I gave in and listened to HF “Man of Constant Sorrow”. I never thought that I could love a band without instruments. I’ve never looked back, over 3 years now. I love them because they are a vocal band…you’d swear you were hearing a record. They evoke a heart and soul response in me. I know Christmas has gone by, but there is a hidden gem by them from 2013 at the Hosanna concert doing their version of “Joy to the World “.(all is in the video title). It’s Rob at his gospel best, with a beatbox breakdown…a jazzy, R&B feel, and it’s amazing!

[@ruthcurfman7532]

That is a great arrangement! It took me a couple of times listening to it to really appreciate it because it was so different, but, wow!

[@JaimeDornanLady]

I know, right?! I’ve still been listening to their version of “Go Tell It On The Mountain” with Texas Hill! It’s just so much fun! Honestly, I can’t wait to get to a these guys live in person again. They’re just simply the best out there, & like Tim says, their concerts are like a party!!! Phenomenally talented guys. #HomeFryForLife ❤

[@bessiesobjack8647]

Love this song, this was my first song I heard from Home Free in January 2021. I was hooked ever since. I love PTX too, but HF is my #1. Austin was made for this song.Austin has is own channel and on it he has some classics like Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton, Unchained Melody, Put Your Head on My Shoulder and more. He did many of these during the pandemic. Austin and Tim have a great time together, they did a cover of My Maria which was made famous by Brooks and Dunn a country duet. In this song you can hear Tim’s upper register. You might really enjoy that one also. I love listening to your reactions, keep it up. Thank you. 🎼🎶🦋🎵

[@larryshair]

Thanks Bessie!!!

[@judydavis7993]

This really made a fan girl out me and I hadn't felt that way since the Beatles. But Austin can flirt with the camera like no one else. In fact he could give lessons. Tim said it would be interesting to see how many babies would be born after this was released. Don't know how that turned out .🤣 Glad you liked it so did a million women like me.🥰🥰🥰

[@billkacvinsky988]

Austin flirt with the camera...it's been reported that they had his girlfriend sit in front of him for this session.

[@roberthudson1959]

@@billkacvinsky988 Confirmed, not reported, and I am glad she was there.

[@wirelessmikedj7784]

Check out "I Swear" - totally cheeky 90's feel down to the video quality.

[@angelamiller6275]

Amen! Myself included!❤️

[@marshaoflaherty8421]

Austin has been flirting with the camera from the start of Home Free and probably long before. Go back to their early stuff.. he's flirting. He was originally called the "Home Free heartthrob"... for good reason... sigh sigh! (I have a serious crush on each of them. Amazing young men!)

[@usmadgirl3074]

I love how you've learned to respect & love these guys & their incredible talent! Watching your excitement every time you watch their videos, makes me excited all over again like when I first heard each song you react to for the first time! You make me smile!!!😊

[@ginnyedmister3717]

Who wouldn’t love this?! Thanks for your reactions to Home Free!

[@dimijohnson670]

Absolutely LOVE this rendition! Percy Sledge would definitely be proud. I like Bolton’s version but in my opinion Home Free takes the crown. 😊

[@ruthcurfman7532]

I had tickets to hear Michael Bolton before it was cancelled for the lockdown, and I'm not sorry because I am stuck on Austin's.

[@angelamiller6275]

Amen!

[@_MusicJunkie_]

Yes Adam’s percussion is ridiculous. I’ve seen them live twice and his “drum solo” is always what I look forward to the most. Just listening to it you wouldn’t know that it was a voice doing all that. He does DJ sounds sometimes too. Amazing! Love your reactions! Just pure joy on your face the whole time, just like me when I listen to these guys. Hope you get to see them live sometime

[@larryshair]

Thanks so much!

[@kristindunstan172]

As some have said in previous comments, Home Free doesn't just do covers, they do upgrades. Having Home Free cover one of your songs should be both an honor and a little scary.

[@disney4real]

Thank you for another great reaction! I discovered Home Free from a trending video of Austin singing ‘Unchained Melody’ . It blew me away, it would be great if you reacted to that. They quickly became my favorite band. The talent of all five of them amazes me every time I listen! 🤗❤️

[@justlinsu]

I agree the drum intro...He's a freak...lol always amazing. Austin's girlfriend was in the studio with him and he sang it to her..lol wow...This was when they were in the Covid crisis...they did a lot of videos via streaming...and won so many more heart and fans....they are brilliant. Larry I love how you go through and give all members of the group a mention and acknowledge their contributions.....Great Reaction

[@mellodolly]

Thank you Larry for your "shout out" and also for your Home Free reactions.!! Well, actually, all of your reactions!!! And, yes, I can also hear the 'country' in Austin"s voice.!! I absolutely love his flirtatious moves. Will be stopping by from time to time to offer more video reaction requests.!! Thanks again.....and so glad you enjoyed this.!! Stay safe and stay strong.!!

[@LibbyAnn]

Love your reaction!! They take my breath away every time I hear them. ♥️🇺🇲♥️

[@danamills6957]

My fave home free song by far

[@genebraaksma]

Great channel Larry! As for Home Free they are the best of all the accapella pardon, my spelling, groups!

[@larryshair]

Thanks so much, Gene!

[@maryluger-sartor9411]

They were super creative during quarantine. Tim wanted Austin to do this one for a while. For some fun ones try Alabama sampler, Never Gonna Give you Up, Can't Stop The Feeling, and I Swear.

[@ferrisdonoso4556]

What blows me away about Adam Rupp is not only how accurate his drum sounds are, but how creative his drum arrangements are and how he fits them perfectly to each song. His beat so often drives the song, brings just the right energy and never overwhelms. In my opinion he is a big part of that Home Free twist that makes every song unique to them. The man is a legend.

[@par500dragon7]

Adam learned how to play the drums so he could be more authentic. There's a reactor who is a professional drummer (Drumming With Jarvis), and he says that Adam is great because he doesn't do things a real drummer wouldn't do. The drum sounds he makes are totally appropriate for the placement in the song.

[@annelieshoornik]

Hi Chris, I am looking at some of the comments and expected to see you being bombarded with requests for Adam Rupp's drum solo. Please check it out. The one where he wears the red plaid shirt is epic. Your mind will be blown for sure

[@lrfcowper]

@@annelieshoornik That one is quite old. While it is mind-blowing, it doesn't really show his current level of skill. There are several posted from December 2021 that are just amazing. Like, I saw them in August 2021, and four months later Adam is even better. So I'd recommend you check out a couple -- the older one and then a newer one.

[@annelieshoornik]

@@lrfcowper HI Lynette, I did and while they are very good, I just like that one better because of the way it ends. Just a matter of taste I guess :)

[@alisonmorgan7238]

That's fantastic! I didn't know that! That's dedication

[@juliehillson4952]

One word..........Incredible! I have been listening to their songs. Hadn't heard this one yet. Thank you!

[@grievousangel7742]

Adam is never anything less than superb - he always brings just the right touch to the amazing vocals of the guys. This group is stunning and there aren't many of their songs that touch the soul. Anyone who can appreciate Rupp in the way you do is okay by me!

[@patriciawoyczik1657]

Thanks for this one! What else can be said other then pure perfection....Austin brought out every bit of soul in his body for this one!

[@violetf.2025]

Wow, am I allowed to say so much better than the original? 😍🙈. I love it and I appreciate your reaction, Chris. Your smile is contagious ❤️ Love from Germany

[@larryshair]

Thanks Violet!

[@marshac7738]

Home Free has been such a great gift to all of us--especially their extra efforts in providing us with excellent music/videos throughout quarantine and the difficult days of isolation we've all been dealing with these past couple of years. Their creativity in producing the "quarantine" videos--and their commitment to continuing to provide new entertainment throughout--has brought along many HF converts. Got to ❤️❤️❤️ Home Free!!

[@thewattone]

Your grin was constant and huge for the whole song. Good stuff right there.

[@roberthudson1959]

Adam Rupp has a degree in trumpet performance. He taught himself to beatbox.

[@marilynotte7059]

Austin gives me chills with this song! Thank you for doing this one. I think I may be one of the people who suggested it.

[@justineanglemyer3980]

Enjoyed your reaction & a chance to watch this awesome cover again! Sometimes "Enough said!" is the best thing to say! Your face said everything during the song! So much fun!

[@martinp8174]

Sounds to me like you have finally found your true home base. You have so many truly superb versions of classics to hear for the first time, I am jealous of that !!!

[@lucyFV]

If you listen to the original Percy Sledge version you will realize how they have honored his song. Austin makes me melt when he belts out this song 🎶

[@tassilo5949]

Austin did a great interpretation of this song. This is the best version I've heard so far. And you have to remember that this was done during Quarantine, so the guys weren't even together. The background music is fantastic, Tim's bass line as well as Adam's beatboxing. No matter what these guys touch, it always turns out great. In my eyes they are the kings of acapella.

[@sharicook4747]

All Home Free songs are amazing

[@swampydouglasobannon8804]

I think home free step's it up a level or two with this song. Austin Brown can sing his heart out so talented.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Love your reaction to this one. I have listened to it an unknown number of times, it is just so amazing, add Austin's flirty eyes and the video becomes phenomenal.

[@poolhallshark]

Holy pancake! This is my new favorite Home Free performance now. And prolly the best rendition of this song I've ever heard. DAYOUM, bud :-) Thanks for another great reaction :-) I gotta jet! For bed. Nighty-night.

[@Wizzard3921]

SO glad you got to this one- Your reaction was just what I expected 👍👍👍👍 Great job Larry, I'm enjoying this adventure with you! Just a little follow-up to Tammy D's reply, I agree about Bobby Hatfield, BUT I think Austin might have put his own stamp on Unchained Melody as well??? Keep it going Lar....

[@louisetemples7011]

True that Wizard! Love Austin's version so much! I heard a reactor refuse multiple times on Unchained Melody from Austin because he said it was"overdone" by so many people, he was tired of hearing it. Finally he had so many requests he gave in and listened and... Apologized! Regretted putting it off for so long! Said it was a good lesson learned! To trust his listeners! One of the reasons I love Larry! He doesn't make us and our opinions/suggestions feel unimportant or ignorant!

[@larryshair]

Thanks Wiz!

[@larryshair]

Awww, thanks Louise!

I had to come back and watch this again 🔥🔥🔥 I absolutely love Austin's southern accent 😍

[@vickifloyd3178]

I am a new listener to this group...I have loved this song for a long time (although I'm female🥰) but this cover is so fantastic😯...and I'm learning a lot about beatboxing, or whatever they call it...WOW!!

[@babyfry4775]

This is a good one. Austin and Adam killed it didn’t they?!! This was filmed during Covid so only Austin was in the studio. I like the tvs - thought that was clever. Good reaction L. In the Blood, What We Ain’t Got to hear more great harmonies.

[@terrisalser7721]

Helplessly hoping is a great song. No beat boxing just great harmonies

[@theresaswallows4274]

Absolutely agree, it is beautiful

[@nikkibanning176]

I agree, can hear the country in this too. Austin did a remarkable job on the lead vocals!

[@beverlypearson5332]

“A poetic frame around his voice.” I love that! Another great job, Chris.

[@suehbing]

Percy Sledge would be proud! Great reaction....Sue

[@phillipjohnson437]

You need to listen to Mayday, My Church, Folsom Prison Blues and definitely How Great Thou Art. Enjoy all your Reactios of Home Free and looking forward to when you do these songs.

[@margfried8796]

I never liked country until I found Home Free during the Sing-Off. I was always a classic rock person. They have converted so many of us. Each one of them has an amazing voice and can sing lead but put them together in harmony and something magical happens. I listen to several acapella groups while all of them are good they just don't have the harmonic sound that Home Free has--at least to me. I wish I knew more about music so I could explain it better.

[@debbiecrawford7925]

I agree. They own it. Great reaction

[@johnthegreek5836]

This is the greatest rendition of this song, well done

[@jillchamberlain6478]

Adam Rupp taught himself to beatbox, with videos… Amazingly talented man!!

[@secret3957]

talking about the percussion.... Whenever our choir sings and has musical instruments to accompany us, it is hard to make it gel as the sounds need to be balanced. The fact that Adam is a beat boxer, makes that they do not have that problem. He is never too loud or over bearing. It is perfect. That is part of what I love about Home free, part of what makes them so amazing.

[@sondrakrastins9216]

I agree! They own it!

[@fionaedwards6216]

Thank You so much for your reactions, I love the fact that you really appreciate Adam Rupp ( my Beast Boxer ) not a lot reactors do. I love them all, but Adam is my favourite, and he deserves all the recognition he gets. So Thanks again. The song was fantastic, they definitely own it. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@billkacvinsky988]

Discovered Home Free Spring 2019. After exploring most of their video offerings...come to the sincere conclusion that their 'cover' are really UPGRADES!!

[@mjackson780]

Another quarantine masterpiece!!

[@carolinpettit7944]

IMO, they own every song they cover. I understand that Austin was singing to his lady that was in the studio with him. Awesome reaction, as always, thank you!!

[@Cat-fi4ie]

This song was done during quarantine. That's why the monitors. Dreamer their original song was just released feat. Texas Hill. It's a must. Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art, no beat boxing all harmony. American Pie feat, Don Maclean, God Bless the U.S.A feat Lee Greenwood and the U.S.A.F. choir. Another great reaction. Anyway pick whatever song you can't go wrong

[@vickiewhite24]

I just absolutely love watching your reactions because of the joy I see on your face! You have such a love and appreciation of good music and it just pours from you when you watch these videos. But that’s what Home Free does for me as well. They really did bring me through a dark time after I lost my husband! I come from a singing family and I know good music when I hear it!

[@curlyque2717]

Keep going, Man of Constant Sorrow will peak your country ears and set them on fire.

[@leslieoneal4464]

If you haven't listened to Home Free singing "How Great Thou Art" you're going to kick yourself for overlooking it this long. Guaranteed. 👍😉

[@lowolff1]

Yes this is incredible!! On another reaction you pondered Tim’s range - please check out his rendition of ‘Will you still love me tomorrow /Stay’’ off his new solo Doo-wop album - it’s remarkable. He’s released it on KZbin !

[@melissakay6143]

Hoping you're well very soon!! Thanks for these Home Free reactions -- we all felt the same when we found them. They can cover any song no matter the genre and make it sound just perfect. Enjoy!

Cover Me Up and Finally Free are great renditions that are not often reacted to, but worth it. Thanks!

[@terrichristenson432]

Loved your reaction to their rendition of this classic. Yes, they all do a fabulous job, Adams percussion can not be beat !!! And Tims bass is always perfect as are the harmonies. But you failed to mention Austins outstanding vocal performance, I kept waiting for a comment about what an excellent job. I do love your reaction to Home Free and can tell that you are becoming a Home Fry.

[@MyLorissa]

Absolutely agree! I kept waiting for it but it never came! Very sad! That's usually the first thing you hear when someone listens for the first time to this song!

[@larryshair]

Oh, I truly loved his singing! That was a given :)

[@carolinasbeauty]

R & B and country have the same roots, Chris! We're going to convert you to HF's country style yet! Please believe me when I say that no one loves Percy Sledge more than I do, but this is incredible! The look on your face was priceless! ;) Again, Helplessly Hoping (CSN cover)??

[@hellefur6631]

Home Free is the perfect blend off vocals, harmonies, percussion and personalities. No divas, an ever changing lead vocal, that is always perfect for every song. Adam's percussion is perfect, and that bass (both Tim & Chance are oustanding on that). So far, they have never failded a song, and I think it's because of theire true democracy. There are no way you can say anything bad about them, or well you could, but don't think that the fans would let you survive a negative wiew 😉

[@sherribrock2726]

You may here the country, which really is southern sound. He is from my home state, GA. The southern accent seems to intrigue most people. BTW, I recently found your channel. I absolutely love it! 💜💜💜

Quarantine time! They did do many to keep us all from going nuts! Thank you again for your reaction !

[@joycecaldwell91]

You might want to look up the concerts these guys do. Tim Foust is the main mc for them, and he has quite a sense of humor. But the reason to see the concerts is the fact that they are only slightly country. They are really the whole package. Each member of the group is very talented. Just amazing, the lot of them.

[@sissyhughes7671]

[@sheliaspringer7389]

Yes, you are hearing Southern Country. Austin is from Georgia. Tim is from Southeast Texas and very proud of it! Chance is from Alabama and both Robb and Adam are from Minnesota. I am certain that by now, you know that Adam is a 2 time beat boxing WORLD CHAMPION! I absolutely LOVE following you as you are discovering OUR GUYS. I live for your next reaction with each new song that you hear. I say new because they are all new to you. I have been following them for over 15 years. And, I never tire of them. They just get better with each new song they sing. I would suggest that you react to "BYE, BYE AMERICAN PIE" with the remarkable Don Mclean. It is absolutely FANTASTIC! I will catch you on your next reaction!!!

[@lschoenrank]

I completely agree with you: they own this song now. It's as if this song was written for Austin and Home Free.
