FLOORED! Home Free - When A Man Loves A Woman (Reaction)

[@m.harrison2151]

This was one of the many videos the guys did during lockdown! They were in their own homes recording while Austin (the lead here) was the only one in the studio. They had a magician, Jimmy Bates, who editing everything together to make this happen! Austin is a very prolific song writer besides an awesome singer. Their “Stargazer Trilogy”, where all 3 songs were his originals, in this order: Give Me a Sign, Stargazer Lilies, MR, in that order. Her wrote them for his lovely lady, Amberly, and also the very recently released song, “Playing With Fire”. Welcome to the world of Home Free! You are going to be blown away and you will love every minute of it!

[@MaddyReactions]

Oooh, I wondered if that was the case

[@crsounddoctor4937]

Hi Maddy, Percy Sledge sang the original version, Michael Bolton did a great cover of it also, and now Home Free gave it their own twist and took it to another level for us "Homefries" to enjoy!!! You're right once again, Homefries do not mind the rewind!!! Remember, we have already welcomed you into the fan club, "yes" you are a "HOMEFRY!!!" Next up, please consider reacting to their Boyz II Men cover of the song "END OF THE ROAD" you'll be glad you did too!!!

[@rcinsley]

Yes! "End of the Road" is a great choice. While HF specializes in country music, "When a Man Loves a Woman" and "End of the Road" are soul/R&B hits...demonstrating HF's versatility and incredible talent! This one showcases Austin and "End of the Road" shows what Rob can do!

[@crsounddoctor4937]

Absolute "FACTS" HF is the most versatile Vocal Band on the planet!!!@@rcinsley

[@mikemccauley3487]

it is hard to believe "End of the Road" hasn't been reacted to yet. That is usually one of the first one to have one jump into the Fries basket. lol

[@troydouglas4193]

Pentatonix might have something to say about that.@@mikemccauley3487

Home Free is the best and so are you! Nice reaction. You gave a great smile. 😊

[@joenewman6494]

Home Free hands down the best a cappella group out there excellent reaction Maddy. Later beautiful girl.❤️🤘😎

[@rcinsley]

M - Thanks for diving into this immediately! It's one of their best, and they did it while quarantined!!! Each member recorded his part in a makeshift home recording "studio", and then HF's sound engineer assembled all the parts...that's why they appeared separately on TV monitors. You're now two videos into HF's huge catalog of great a cappella performances...so you're a Home Fry!! You'll get tons of suggestions for more HF songs, but save "Mayday" until you know the guys and their voices really well. You'll understand why when you get there. 🙂 Corker X

[@MaddyReactions]

Awesome

[@momD612]

Yes yes yes!!!! No Mayday until you really know & understand the guys. It'll make perfect sense afterwards. Trust us "Seasoned Fries". 😅😂❤❤

[@ppresley9208]

Welcome to the Home Free family ... try their "Helplessly Hoping" , "Brothers In Arms" or " I Can't Outrun You" for stunning harmony . Then try " The Butts Medley " , " Hillbilly Bone " or " Can't Stop The Feeling " for their goofiness ! Oh heck , just listen to anything they do ... I promise you'll love everything ! Can't wait til you hear Home Free Christmas music !

[@tada-us1rf]

Great reaction - thanks for doing this!

[@StephenYoung-iq7qg]

Can these guys sing or what,great reaction hope you have a blessed day!👍👍🤟

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Austin sings his heart out. Could be because his lady-love was there in the studio.

[@annehffry3284]

Each member of Home Free, with the exception of Adam Rupp, their beat boxer, has songs where they are the lead singer. They are all phenomenal! Their latest music video is another Austin Brown lead, “Playing with Fire”. I hope you’ll react to it.

[@danielmclaughlin9385]

Adam - the 'human drumkit' is also amazing on this track.

[@MaddyReactions]

Agreed!!

[@anastasiabeaverhausen516]

His momma blessed the world with that boy! I’m a huge Austin Brown fan. His latest song for his wife is adorable.

[@doobiedave9686]

Their covers of Helplessly Hoping, Listen To The Music, Working For a Livin', Ring of Fire, and Folsom Prison Blues are all a must listen. 🙌✌️

@@MaddyReactions And "Mayday"

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction Maddy! If you get a chance to see them live, you won't be disappointed. IMO, you're already a Home Fry. This was made during Covid, so each of the guys recorded their piece remotely. The only one in the studio was the lead Austin. His girlfriend was with him near the camera so he was looking at her while singing. That was why he could put so much emotion into the song. Hard to remember it's all vocals!

[@MaddyReactions]

🍟💖

[@marktizzard47]

What a great way to start a day ❤❤❤ Thanks Maddy

[@oldschoolpop8428]

Maddy, must here their latest release, an original by Austin, the lead vocal you just heard. It is called Playing with Fire. When you listen you will understand the creativity this group possesses. Welcome to the Home Fry community!!!!

[@MaddyReactions]

Nice!

[@denise_landry]

Thanks Maddy! 😊🍟

[@donaldjones3121]

How Great Thou Art!!!! The best I have ever heard!! Go ...do....it...

[@bernieregnier4500]

The legendary status of our Home Free vocalists just keeps mounting to greater accolades that is very deserving of our attention. They are simply amazing and yet they are very humble. It is a privilege to enjoy their vocal gifts!!!! ❣

[@denisbryce8746]

Their Reditions of Folsom Prison, Brothers In Arms, American Pie (With Don McLean) & Austin & Rob's version of the Operatic Aria, Nessum Dorma are awesome. Then again anything they do is awesome as are Pentatonix & Voiceplay.

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

Maddy, you may have the impression from this and Man of Constant Sorrow that Austin is THE lead singer. He leads on many songs, but all can lead (although Adam sticks to beatboxing and harmonies) and you will find plenty of songs where one or the other leads, where they trade off the lead, or when there really is no lead. In many ways what makes Home Free so special is that all of these talented singers will take the supporting role and do it so well: it is often harder to be the harmony, it shows respect for your mate to let them shine, and the willingness to do so shows through in the personalities they reveal and make us all love them for being the kind of guys you'd love having in your neighborhood (except maybe when Tim spends a day standing in a rowboat in the backyard in a pirate costume singing sea shanties over and over).

[@carolyntaylor7]

And all the neighbors heard was the bass line!

[@ramblingbill9101]

A masterpiece performance.

[@kmwwrench]

Never cared for this song, but the boys killed it. You're right about everything being great. Amazing backing harmonies. Percussion perfection from Adam Rupp. And Austin just taking off to the heavens as an afterthought. I suggest The Driver, I Can't Outrun You, Playing With Fire, or Helplessly Hoping next, but really you can't go wrong with anything they do.

[@MaddyReactions]

Yesss

[@doobiedave9686]

I definitely second your request for Helplessly Hoping, it is a 3 minute masterpiece in how to sing harmony. ✌️

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

I also didn’t really like this song that much before, which sort of perplexed me, because I should have! I would actually AVOID listening to it, both the Percy Sledge and Michael Bolton versions, which is unlike me because I have very eclectic taste in music. The singers were good and so was the writing but I always had an uneasy feeling in my stomach when I heard them. Weird, I know. (Stand By Me is another that everyone loves but for some baffling reason I just don’t). However, this version finally made it a song I love and will listen to happily. Maybe the background harmonies and Austin’s undeniable passion?

[@kmwwrench]

@@FavoriteMovieDate I think I finally figured out why I never liked it. It's just so repetitive - the same phrase over and over and over and ..... I have the same issue with End of the Road and Delta Dawn, 2 more that HF covers amazingly well. Still don't like the songs, but the boys are perfection.

[@greggbell9837]

This is so dang good!

[@kubulajagodzinski4355]

Great song choice to react maddy

[@meemermarie1977]

Their newst song “playing with fire” is an original and its sizzling hot

[@DeansMayhem]

Thanks for a great start to my day Maddy!

[@patriciavernon9795]

Home Fry here and new subscriber for more Home Free! Great reaction, thank you!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

We warned you 😅 they are so good they are addictive. Recommendations : Playing with Fire (written by the lead singer in this one) Austin Brown, an original and their latest release, End of the Road (cover of The Boyz2Men early 90's hit, and Castle on the Hill a cover of Ed Sheeran's hit from a few years ago. 😊

[@dagmar.6954]

Austin did a fabulous job of this classic song. Loved Percy Sledge's version, but this was taken to another level. I think it is also better than Michael Bolton's version. 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. Drummers have often commented on just how realistic his sound is. This is why these guys are my favorite a cappella group.

[@retroactive1autrey668]

Keep on keeping on, young Lady. Your reaction is spot on. The boy sang.

[@MaddyReactions]

[@sheldoniusRex]

This song makes babies.

[@jayweb51]

Your reaction to this performance, reminded me of the way you were affected by the duet of John Farnham and Olivia Newton John; and I thought of another love song you might like, it's called The Reason Why by John Farnham with Richard Marx.

[@MaddyReactions]

Oooh

[@billmarshall5040]

[@claydavis3717]

They have so many great songs !! Brothers in arms, Mayday, One Man Band, Helplessly Hoping , Ring of Fire to name a few!! You will definitely love going down this Home Free Rabbit hole.

[@MaddyReactions]

Oooh

[@roberthudson1959]

HF released this video, and Brown released a solo cover of "Unchained Melody" plus an original love song called "Take the Night Off" over the same Valentine's Day weekend. The mere mortals among us had to take vows of celibacy.

[@seangilbert19658]

These guys ARE very talented!!!

[@MaddyReactions]

Agreed!

[@johnwillis4706]

Great reaction Maddy. Austin Brown's fiancé was sitting in the studio with Austin, and he was singing this song to her. I think it added just that little extra soul. Percy sledge is looking down from heaven saying, "Well damn, this boy can SANG and he's doing my song justice". Oh and the sound you were wondering about was Adam Rupp the beatboxer, just one of a bunch of sounds he makes.

[@anitawright7169]

Austin killed this. The background harmonies and beat boxing is par excellence! Percy Sledge would be so very proud! Love your reaction!

[@richb313]

I agree sometimes it is too much to handle but these guys have a knack for that.

Since you enjoy how the harmonize, I suggest you listen to their cover of "Helplessly Hoping" Best harmony I have ever ever heard!

[@babyfry4775]

Home Free is so good. They’ve been releasing a lot of new videos lately that they wrote. Playing with Fire is the newest release, Skull and Bones is a new pirate song for a pirate game Chance wrote (short dark hair). There is a lyric video only and a short live one for the Ubisoft people (game maker). Tim goes insanely low in it. Btw, this song above is during Covid and that’s why they used the tvs. Clever idea. They put out a lot of content during Covid and it kept me sane. They are known for incredible harmonies. Some of the best would be Helplessly Hoping, One Man Band, I Can’t Outrun You (lots of bass), Die a Happy Man, In the Blood. Enjoy!😍

[@vickiadkins9844]

Austin killed it!!

[@berniehand5528]

End of the road, boyz to men cover, would be a great one for you. Rob sings the lead in this one.

I am sure the guys knew, that for a song this classic, they needed to perform it as best as they possibly could, and they definitely did.

WORKIN FOR A LIVIN AND LISTEN TO THE MUSIC

[@rcinsley]

"Listen to the Music" ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZCaeoyYqreajbM ) is incredibly good--especially Adam's one-man percussion section!!

[@Annaireo]

The three best a cappella groups (as far as my own taste goes) are Pentatonix, Home Free and Voiceplay. They each seem to dominate their own genres. Pentatonix does mainly pop, Home Free does country and Voiceplay does Disney songs. Sometimes they diversify but they always keep the quality. I urge you to listen to all of them! You will not be disappointed!

[@ryanellsworth7246]

The 3 best acapella groups out there are HF (country) VoicePlay (theater, Disney, video games) and Pentatonix (pop/rock). All of them are great, but HF is just a class act. Great guys who love their fans, family values, no politics. Great review! Keep smiling.

[@pamelagoodman7559]

Welcome to the rabbit hole! Lots of great suggestions; although billed as a country vocal band they sing many genres, as you can see here. Listen to enough of their songs to learn each members sound and roles they generally fill before listening to May Day. That way you can enjoy the surprise of the song. Reactors that have not waited until they knew the guys have admitted they should have waited. We Home Fries will never steer you wrong. Be advised, their performances range from the ridiculous to the sublime. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. But they are always phenomenal. I enjoyed your reaction and have subbed for more Home Free reactions

[@donnav3270]

Subscribed for Home Free. Thanks. There are so many to choose from to acquaint yourself with their range and versatility. A few medleys that showcase their personalities and playfulness, are The Butts Remix and Country Fried Pop. Then there’s the fun covers of All About the Bass, My Church & Hillbilly Bone. The serious stuff like In the Blood (a favorite of mine) End of the Road & Brothers in Arms. And of course the collaborations Elvira, American Pie & Children Go Where I Send Thee ( wonderful). After all that you can do Mayday but wait because you need to get to know them before you can really appreciate the range & versatility that Mayday demonstrates

You’re definitely ‘on the path’ (at a minimum). I agree with those who suggested not passing up an opportunity to see them live if you get the chance. My wife and I saw them in June 2022. Just amazing. Also surprisingly loud, but very clear. It seems to me that most reactors as well as most HF fans have HF’s version of “Man Of Constant Sorrow” in common as their ‘gateway drug’ that reels them in for good. EDIT-sorry, I was pretty sure that your take on Man of Constant Sorrow is what drew mw to your channel. I clicked on the video in hour HF folder and MOCS wasn’t listed there. That was my confusion posting the above.
