HOME FREE "I Still Believe In You" // Audio Engineer & Wifey FIRST-TIME Reaction & Review

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

Bastien is a wonderful addition. He has an amazing voice.

[@peggygross7409]

IMHO, the story being told in the video is as important as the vocals. Great reaction to this Vince Gill cover.

[@lrfcowper]

Their Christmas album dropped today and they released the video for the Thanksgiving Song, which you should definitely check out during the Thanksgiving season. This was a Jimmy Bates video. He did a great job conveying so much meaning with these little glimpses.

[@chilcootchicks4968]

Yes! Try to review the Thanksgiving song. 🎶🥰

[@cindywynn5161]

Happy Home Fry day!! I absolutely love Vince Gill and have seen him in concert twice. Thrilled Home Free covered it beautifully ❤❤❤❤❤

[@dagmar.6954]

Thanks for your reaction J & J. Another beautiful song by Home Free. Nice that they featured Adam Bastien again on lead vocals for this country song. The background harmonies were great along with Adam's beatboxing. Also love the very touching video that went along with the song. Our lives are so busy these days but we need to connect with those we love in small special ways.

[@musikbyjh]

It was a beautiful song, it made us think about the important things.

[@kennethbryson7751]

This one to me was the song that showed me how well Adam B is going to blend with Home Free! His blend with the guys because he lightened up his vocals! Rob, Chance, and he will blend well together on anything that the come together on! Great video and great job as well! Low bass Kenneth.

[@justkaron]

This was a Vince Gill hit. It does sound like something HF would write. The message of the song is on point. And so topical.

[@bobemch5614]

I think this is a cover of Vince Gill. They do a great job. Love the Home Free Fridays!

[@momD612]

Yep. Vince cover. Done beautifully 😍 ❤️

[@wolfe6220]

I like Adam B's lower register 👍 How these guys aren't on the radio just boggles my mind....

[@sherriechampion7979]

I think it's because they do their own thing and won't be dictated to by mainstream radio. ❤

[@craigcornwell9576]

This is actually a cover from Vince Gill

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks, Craig!! We couldn't find anything on their video, so this is news to us. Hope you are terrific, and happy HOME FRYDAY!!

[@craigcornwell9576]

@musikbyjh you too!

[@dianeritthaler7792]

Absolutely beautiful ❤🎉😊

[@rebeccarose7405]

What a great day for the music! Home Friday with a newer song, a NEW Home Free release, and a new Dirty Loops song too!!! ❤️🎶

[@vickiadkins9844]

Happy Home friday!!!!!! Rupp was Incredible!

[@nanadeborah8717]

Bastien has an amazing voice. I saw them live and he fit in beautifully. The energy was high and we had great fun!! Thanks for your review.

[@musikbyjh]

We're so glad you had a good time at the show!

[@belinda9696]

This song is true for almost everyone. Life gets busy and even the guys themselves who are all married and a couple of them also have kids and they tour heavily so when they do get to go home for a few days they are probably so tired but have to make sure they are still there to spend time with and give love and participation to their families.

[@chilcootchicks4968]

The guys did a fantastic job with this cover. 🥰🎶. It’s already a favorite on my playlist. It’s too bad you guys weren’t able to see them live last month. I was so relieved to see the group is still great in person. Great energy and sound with all their old standbys. Wait till you get to hear their new song for Thanksgiving. It’s a Rob lead!!!

[@musikbyjh]

Ahhhhh, a ROB LEAD?!? Can’t wait!!!

[@tinah8833]

Happy Home Fryday J & J! I enjoyed your Halloween reactions yesterday very much. I'm like you in that I wasn't aware that it was a cover song until after my first listen. It sounds so perfect for Home Free to cover though. The guys sound great!

[@cindywynn5161]

Hi Tina! Hope you're doing well ❤

[@musikbyjh]

Love this song and yes it’s often how our lives go. My hubby and I had it rough too. He travelled a lot (and I mean “a lot”) and I worked and was going to graduate school at nights. We hardly saw each other. We’re still together decades later but it was rough. Love makes a way. Love Bastien’s voice. They did Hark the Herald Angels Sing (for a new album) and today they released a new Thanksgiving song. Good one guys!

[@musikbyjh]

“Love makes a way” - excellent comment! And we really enjoyed Adam Bastien’s voice here! 🥰

[@beckiramsey9561]

I think that Bastien has an awesome voice for a Vince Gill cover! This is so beautiful along with the harmonies! I am also looking forward to seeing the growth of the new Home Free going forward!❤❤

[@LynnRamsay]

I love this version of a Vince Gill 1992 classic. Home Free is releasing a new video today The Thanksgiving Song 😊

[@Teresa.S.]

I was a bit concerned at first about Bastien's more "poppy" sound too. But by now I should have known better - HF knows what they do. Listening to several fan videos of the last part of the tour, Bastien has many vocal "faces". I think we're gonna be alright💚

[@annehffry3284]

You two balance each other out really well, both having important but different input about what you are getting from the performance. :)

[@musikbyjh]

@annehffry3284 : Thanks for saying that, Anne!!! So SWEET!!! ❤️ Sorry for the delay. My laptop died today and we are in full blown scramble mode!

@@musikbyjh As someone who worked in IT, I believe computers have a hidden sensor that detects when we need them & decides to shut down & rest a bit. Can’t find the wiring for it, but…

[@musikbyjh]

@@carolyntaylor7yeah, these things always seem to happen at a bad time. But, we’ll survive. Down one computer…so maybe one of us will be FORCED to take a break and catch a breath. Lol

[@cynthiamiller483]

What I heard with Bastien was a cry instead of a poppy-yodel. This was all so smooth and poignant; I get the purpose of the rain. I loved that you both had something different to say about the song today. I like both perspectives! Happy Home FrYday!!! 🎶 Cyd

Thank you, Cyd. Just “keeping it real”!! Xoxo

[@waynebrower5558]

I'm sure that someone in chat has told you that Bastein is an OG former member of the group.

[@musikbyjh]

Wait….what!?! I don’t think we knew anything about that!!

[@JanelleH-k8e]

Bastien was a regular fill-in member in the early days of Home Free, before Austin joined the group.

[@steventoderick8932]

I'm new to these guys they sound so awesome question lol do they actually use their voices for the instruments if so omg incredible 😊

[@nancyholter5646]

yes, this is all vocal. Go check out their catalog of music - so many types of songs. And fantastic harmonies. Enjoy your trip down the HF rabbit hole.

[@steventoderick8932]

@nancyholter5646 thank you for the info they definitely sound awesome just can't believe that is from their voices fantastic

[@lrfcowper]

Their beatboxer, Adam Rupp, is probably the best accompaniment beatboxer in the world -- there are solo beatboxers that may be better as soloists, but for doing just the right amount and kind of vocal percussion to accompany a group, Adam is absolutely unbeatable.

[@musikbyjh]

Oh man…you’re in for a treat if you go down this rabbit hole! They DO have a few instances where there will be an instrument, but that’s mostly on their solo stuff. They do all this stuff with their mouths!! It’s mind blowing. If you check out our Vlog playlist, you’ll see the time we went and saw them in Memphis. Amazing to see this live! So much talent. And Adam Rupp….the beatboxer…blows my mind EVERY TIME when I realize those are never REAL drums!

[@steventoderick8932]

@musikbyjh thank you for the reply yup I've checked out a few and wow fantastic I'm now down the rabbit 🐇 hole lol

[@SweetCarolineCDN]

Hi my lovelies JnJ . This song and video really brings home how we take each other for granted. After losing my beautiful husband in July this message rings even louder. MAKE TIME and appreciate the wonderfulness of ‘we’. Love always, your #1Canadian fan ❤❤

Great reaction to this beautiful song and video! #HomeFree never disappoints!

[@pastelcarnations]

Not an original, it's a classic Vince Gill song, which they do beautifully. Adam Bastien has a gorgeous voice. Rupp is amazing, all around great song and video.

[@musikbyjh]

Ahhh, thank you for this!! I didn't see anything in their video description or title, which is odd for them. Appreciate the claritY!!

[@polarbear509]

First off welcome to Arizona. Tim was actually doing the talking part not Rob

[@lrfcowper]

Sounds like Rob to me.

[@nanadeborah8717]

​@@lrfcowper Definitely Rob. I love Rob's lower range. Anyone who has seen Rob and Austin sing Nessun Dorma understands Rob's range and amazing voice.

[@lrfcowper]

@@nanadeborah8717 Yes! Tim is remarkably talented (which is to say naturally gifted + works his @ss off to develop and maintain his range), but the quality and tone of Rob's voice is superlative and unmistakable.

[@nanadeborah8717]

[@disney4real]

Adam has a great voice, although I am not loving the boy band sound that seems to be happening with the first 2 singles….hopefully that will change. Thanks for another great reaction! ❤

[@musikbyjh]

Totally understand where you are coming from. We are hopeful and optimistic for more of the Home Free we know and love!!
