It is really interesting to listen to someone who knows the vocabulary of vocal music describing what they are hearing. You are very effective at describing, and putting names to the vocal techniques, and that adds to the enjoyment of watching the performance.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Thank you Scott!

[@freeaccess12345]

If this is your first time listening to Home Free, you should also check out "Ring of Fire" and "Mayday". The more you watch Home Free the more you will see the incredible range each singer has. It's a pleasant surprise each time. :)

[@RAW2881]

Dontbwatch Mayday before you get to know everyones voice

[@rcinsley]

"Mayday" is one of their very best, but you can't get maximum enjoyment unless/until you know their voices. Save it for later. Fortunately, there are PLENTY more excellent performances. "Ring of Fire" is my all-time favorite. As a bass-lover, you will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this performance because it features TWO of the best basses in the business - Tim Foust and Avi Kaplan. With 2 great basses, they can have a solid bass solo AND keep the bass line going at the same time!

[@tommyward7471]

I would listen to Tim a little more before listening to Mayday!!! Tim will blow your mind!!!

[@georgemegaw2925]

@@tommyward7471 The video where Tim actually blew a speaker is amusing too. Live show, sorry I don’t remember which or the KZbin label. He wasn’t singing very loud - just VERY low. For a Bass lover- there’s several contest videos with three OUTSTANDING a cappella basses ... i think Tim has a E0 ...maybe a growl...but in tune and sustained.

[@orchetect7415]

I love that you’re the first reviewer to point out Tim’s octave leaps (out of dozens of reactors who have covered this video)

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Oh really! They were SO good! I feel like there's so much more to talk about. But it's hard to get everything with acapella groups because so much is happening!

Definitely listen to them take on R&B with their cover of "End of the Road" by Boyz II Men. It'll blow your mind.

[@danielosheigh4793]

@@jessicasopranonotes I second this suggestion miss. Their homage to End of the Road is cest magnifique ! The "Overtone" singer you were mentioning is Adam Chance. He does bass duty when Tim Foust (Baso Profundo) is singing. If you want a whole song of Adam Chance, try Some Girls do. As many have mentioned Ring of Fire is a must and I think Hillbilly Bone is also a truly fun show off piece.

[@k1hasard]

The Jew's Harp at the beginning and end as well as the harmonica without a harmonica as you put it are stand alone amazing. I also like bass singers and Tim really gets down there immediately following his solo which is really nice. The beat boxer draws me in a lot during this song, so it is difficult for me to put a finger on my favorite part. I think you might enjoy Peter Hollins singing "Misty Mountains" featuring Tim Foust from this video. It is a layered a cappella piece that I find wonderful in arrangement and performance. Tim's final note in that song can rattle building foundations LOL. Even if you don't do a video of that song, please just check it out for your own enjoyment, it's really good, interesting, complex and all the things music should be.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

I will! Thank you 😊

[@tedharvick9010]

@@jessicasopranonotes, per Peter Hollens comment on another reaction channel, "120 tracks on that song". Your ears will become addicted to the ear candy those two can generate. Bridge Over Trouble Waters by the 2 of them is another one. They just blend so well together.

[@kylefrandsen2665]

I notice a lot of people completely miss the drop after the solo because they're still getting over how low the solo is and Tim blends so well in the harmony.

[@CGholl]

JAW harp.

[@k1hasard]

There are many names for it.

[@matthewkendall5235]

I love the bit straight after Tim sings his quite deep solo then the view flips onto the rest of the band - and they sing and Tim sings the line again with them - but this time another whole octave lower - like OMG that is one deep voice. And the mouth organ - like how is that possible - these guys are all awesome!

[@sc0repio662]

Agree with commenter Jon, Home Free is very addictive. They've got great covers of Ring Of Fire, Mayday, Some Girls Do, Honey, I'm Good, I got friends in low places, Moonshine & soooo many others Of course there's also ones like Crazy Life (LEGO Video) that's visually fun and the collabs they've done with Kenny Rogers, The Oak Ridge Boys & Peter Hollens

[@StevenW3644]

Such a great reaction and I’m like you .. blown away that people can sound and blend beat box. Great job lady.

[@lipkinasl]

Home Free's cover of Ring of Fire features Tim, their bass and Avi Kaplan as guest extra bass singer. 2 basses - think you might like this!

[@TheCaveman46]

To really get a dose of Tim's range in Ring Of Fire, you need to watch the Sing Off version. Avi is great, but for me it kind of muddied the waters by having two basses. Just my opinion.

[@gailseatonhumbert9199]

Tim Foust arranged Ring of Fire for 2 basses. Inviting Avi in as a featured collaboration raised Homefree's sales on that album after they had won the Sing-Off.

[@Lumi_floof]

All of this!!!

[@antoinette2840]

Two two two basses in one

[@crhu319]

It's full of tricks but I think it just missed the emotional point of the song. Dilana Robichaux got the point of it, I like hers better than Johnny's. Voice quality isn't the point but Dilana's blues rasp suits that song the best.

Great analysis! I've watched many of these reviews of this song and this was the best. Really enjoyed it.

[@Toblies]

Love your technical reviews and your enthusiasm for the craft of singing... Also very fun watching you swoon over the bass singers... I believe the singer doing the overtone singing is Adam Chance, a Baritone, who also has a great low range and generally amazing voice. He's the one standing on the back left when they're in a group of 5.. I see you caught him at the end. Adam Rupp is their amazing beatboxer, who I think swallowed a harmonica at some point in his childhood. He's remarkable in is range and type of effects. He's well featured in Home Free's Folsom Prison Blues cover, and so is Adam Chance singing much more than overtone. They're all amazing. There's also some remarkable video of Adam Rupp doing a 'drum solo' at one of their live shows. It's mind-boggling. Keep up the great reviews. I'm mostly in for the acapella stuff, but count me as a new subscriber.

[@ralphbierbaum1966]

Just LOVE your technical analysis.

[@stephanginther9051]

The man that 'it was the whole time' is Adam Chance (yes, there are 2 Adams in the group, Adam Rupp the beatboxer and him, he goes by Chance to avoid confusion). Chance joined the group after Chris Rupp, one of the founders of the group left (amicably) to peruse a solo career. Chris Rupp actually helped pick his replacement, which is pretty cool. Chance is a baritone but can down to bass as well, something his predecessor couldn't do (Chris Rupp is a high baritone, almost a tenor). The new guy being able to sing bass freed up Tim to do some...other stuff that you'll see if you watch a song they covered called 'Mayday'.

[@elizabethhostetter1946]

i think Chance is a baritone-bass more than a baritone.

wow! I was floored by all the country/bluegrass instruments the perc-singer is incorporating. Not just the harmonica, that opening overtone sound is a Jaw Harp, then that low bass that comes in is a whiskey jar. Then when you look at it like that, the bassline sounds like a washtub bass. There's a couple other folk/country/bluegrass instruments in there, but I don't what they're called. The toungue-clucking is some sort of wood box and I think there's a vibraslap or something similar in there too. I've never heard singers do those instruments.

The first Tenor is Austin, the second was Rob, beatboxer is Adam Rupp. He does a great harmonica sound, doesn't he? I've seen it done live.

[@scotty2307]

Adam Rupp is the beatboxer. In one of his videos he talks about developing that harmonica sound. Adam Chance was doing the overtone jaw harp sound. His voice is very well showcased in their sea shanty video. I could really hear him doing Gordon Lightfoot style storytelling.

Lead is Austin Brown, high tenor. The Bearded One is Rob Lundquist, tenor. Beat boxer is Adam Rupp, he and his brother Chris (no longer with the group) founded the group. And yes, he played the harmonica without a harmonica. Last, but not least, is Adam Chance. He is covers bass lines when Tim sings.
