Pastor FIRST Time REACTION to HOME FREE! Home Free - Man of Constant Sorrow

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

This is an old song, but not a spiritual, not by or about slaves. It's an Appalachian Mountain folksong composed and first recorded in 1913. It's been recorded many times over the century, most memorably by Bob Dylan in the 1960s and the Soggy Bottom Boys in the Clooney movie in the 80s. Home Free simply made it new all over again. Home Free is incredible.

[@scottclapper6823]

Yeah I spoke incorrectly. Had the wrong song on my mind when I said it. Definitely a mistake on my part.

[@baskervillebee6097]

The Soggy Bottom Boys were played by Union Station. Their lead singer, Alison Krauss, sang on Down To The River To Pray in the same movie. She has 27 Grammys.

[@leslieanderson7641]

Amazing what even a quick bit of research will do isn't it. Thank you.

[@christianlong-lo3jm]

Yep

[@christianlong-lo3jm]

It's really about living that criminal life because you're poor

[@JoyceLockman]

You have introduced many people to Home Free. And it is fun to watch new people react to them BUT it is just as fun to watch your reaction react to them

[@debbiehall9091]

This is one of their most popular songs. These guys are so much better now believe or not. CK out Cruise.❤️❤️❤️

#HOMEFREE IS THE BEST 🤟🤠🤟

I love your reactions to Home Free" Man of Constant Sorrow"❤❤

#HOMEFREE!

[@tmagante]

Home Free - My Church is my fav version of the song

[@Liz-cmc313]

This song was my first introduction to Home Free. Fell in love ❤.

[@sharonspiller7427]

Love watching people hearing Home Free for the first time. Your appreciation for their talent is evident and your delight in exposing people to it is a joy to watch.

[@legsholly]

Home Free : End of the Road.......My Church......Auld Lang Syne...... Hill Billy Bone.....When a Man Loves a Woman.....Just a sample of awesome voices, harmonizing and Beatboxing. Don't forget Tim Foust on Will You Still Love Tomorrow and Stay.

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

I would love to see you react to more Home Free! They are the best, in my opinion. They do a huge variety of music and each have a very impressive vocal range. The beatboxer is an Animal! Thanks for the Home Free reactions!

[@michellejackson6679]

Love these guys and when they do End of the Road.. incredible... I can listen to it over and over and over and I pretty much do because it's such a great song.. Boyz II Men.. the best but Home Free do it JUSTICE

[@stevebrown9955]

Dick Burnett "Man of Constant Sorrow" (also known as "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow") is a traditional American folk song first recorded by Dick Burnett, a partially blind fiddler from Kentucky. The song was originally recorded by Burnett as "Farewell Song" printed in a Richard Burnett songbook, about 1913.

[@teresacartwright5406]

The song was later covered by Bob Dylan & Joan Baez among others.

[@sandralorenz1796]

The jaw harp at the beginning is Adam Chance.

[@heartwork8318]

This song is an old Bluegrass song recorded in the 1920’s! Love these guys! Great reaction y’all! ❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

[@barbarakennedy2667]

The song was first put on paper close to early 1900s.

[@traviscrockett3640]

If you listen carefully you can hear Tim’s voice DROP another octave on group vocal right after his solo part. Insane

[@terrichristenson432]

I have seen them perform this song live in concert 3 times, it sounds just as good live. They are my favorite !!!

[@kirkmcmillan1974]

😂😂😂 You're sooo funny. I see you spying with those sideways glances watching your friends reacting in disbelief to what they're hearing. Thanks for introducing it to so many others. 😂😂😂

[@babyfry4775]

Old bluegrass song. So well done by the boys. Home Free has talent in spades. Yeah I wasn’t a country fan but I’m loving their versions of it. Try What We Ain’t Got, Die a Happy Man to hear more good country. HF really sings all genres of music. Tim, the bass, loves doo wop and put out an album of all doo wop songs (50’s & 60’s). They have lots of originals too. Good reactions and hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! 😍😃

[@debbiestumm511]

I love that your introducing HF to your firends and Man of Constant Sorrow as a first is brilliant!!!❤❤❤❤

The "harmonica" is absolutely spot-on, it's fabulous.

[@toodlescae]

"Man of Constant Sorrow" (also known as "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow") is a traditional American folk song first published by Dick Burnett, a partially blind fiddler from Kentucky. The song was originally titled "Farewell Song" in a songbook by Burnett dated to around 1913. A version recorded by Emry Arthur in 1928 gave the song its current titles.

[@nyknick821]

First time I heard this song (and what it blew up from I believe) was the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?".

[@KrombopulosMichael8834]

Every one I know has that movie in their collection

[@NoodlesskibsMS]

Love that movie. Love how it was loosely based on the odyssey

[@miamidolphinsfan]

This song was 1st written on paper in 1913 & 1st known recording was in 1928

[@patrickhumphreys5851]

Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole Paster as your buddy mentioned these guys can do anything any genre probably the most diverse group of guys in the a capella realm and the fun fact is all these groups are truly close friends and support each other's work. Great reaction guys.

[@GryLi]

This group is the best

[@johndugger1028]

I so enjoy watching you and your friends watching great music

[@caitlinseaton7546]

I love that you are sharing the amazing talent of Home Free with people! Keep up the amazing job!

[@kmwwrench]

These guys are so talented. I recommend that you watch their recent release of Stand By Me. Absolutely fabulous.

[@brendafrazier811]

Agreed! It’s amazing!

[@MonicaGoodwin-qz5gd]

🤠 HF 🔥. Great reaction.

[@danrudnick5252]

Adam is a ridiculously good beatboxer but it's worth noting that several if not all members of the group can beatbox and they pass the beat around. It's how the beat keeps going while he's doing the nomonica.

[@theresamnsota3925]

His alma mater is one of several Minnesota Lutheran colleges known for their choral music traditions.

[@patriciab8876]

Though published in 1913 by Dick Burnett (who did not compose it) this song is an old American Folk Song. It was old when published - he just put it to paper - which then enabled him to earn from its use. Prior to that it was learned "by ear" having originated in & around Kentucky, Tennessee and thereabouts.

[@Zalentsia]

Seriously, how are they making those sounds from their ... every hole in their face with hands too 😮 Unreal ❤❤❤❤ Edit: 😮 this is awesome Thank you. 🎉

[@anitawright7169]

This is so very awesome! Love Pastor's reaction. It was priceless! Should have him react to How Great Thou Art. Love seeing you introducing people to Home Free! Thank you!

[@chrismorin1318]

When Home Free was on the Sing Off, Shawn Stockton was a judge and he said that country was just a white version of R&B.

[@tommygilbreath]

And yet he became a huge fan of Home Free and even game them permission to cove End of the Road when they asked.

[@teresacartwright5406]

Caution the pastor that Home Free is highly addictive. I think he'd really appreciate their collaboration with Jeffrey East & the Oak Ridge Boys of "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" and with Kenny Rogers of "Children Go Where I Send Thee". 3 of them are song writers. The sing (and write) in almost every genre. Best wishes for a happy, healthy New Year to you and yours!

[@guyray1504]

BP glad you are sharing the music of Home Free to others. Thanks

[@jeffreyhamlin2971]

These guys are awesome. Should watch and listen to them on The Sing Off competition. They are some of the most talented Acapella groups out there.

[@Mary-xo7ue]

Heard their cover the other day of Listen to the Music by Doobie Brothers😮it was so friggin spot on and beautiful❤worth checking out😂

If you want to hear a song that will give you goosebumps, listen to Home Free’s Brothers in Arms. Every time I hear it I get goosebumps & I cry.

[@glennhansen6794]

Great reaction, you gotta have Scott back for more reactions.

[@ms.chuckfu1088]

Would like to see the two of you react to something else from Home Free. Maybe "Everybody Walkin This Land" or "One Man Band" or even "Moonshine" 😂

The Pastor would Love Home Free's version of "My Church" !!

[@amyweems5248]

There’s so much BP needs to discover. Everything in Home Free world but especially Adams drum solo. Also Carrie Underwood and Luda “champion” would be a great song to see him react to.

[@tinasturgeon4730]

Thanks ❤️ Much Love! #Hangovergang

Glad to see paster Scott back. Always enjoy that brother's insight.

[@williemcd]

Cheating here....borrowed this summary from another commenter.... (I love seeing folks new to HF...and, BP, it's rather obvious you enjoy the same thing!) The group started in 2001 by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They won The Sing Off season 4 2013 that's where they became very popular. They are the only country A Capella ( all vocals no instruments)group but they are honestly do so so much more than just country music they can sing any genre and they do. There is no Lead singer in the group. They each ( except Adam )sing the song and who’s ever voice or voices sound right for the song gets the lead unless is a bass/ baritone song then that’s Tim or Chance. A lot of time they each have a part in the song. Fans of Home Free are known as Home Fries and are very loyal to the guys. Adam Rupp: Beatboxer Extraordinaire ( 41) can make any sound imaginable (A whole drum kit, harmonica (his Nomonica we call it )plane flyovers, trains, castanets, bugs ,birds etc).Co founder from Mankato Minnesota. Rob Lundquist :Lead tenor(beard and glasses) ( 40 )very soulful voice and master whistler from Minneapolis, Minnesota Tim Foust :Bass (had long dark hair now short with grey ) ( 42 ) 5+ octave range can go so low he blows speakers or sky high from Nederland, Texas Austin Brown: High Tenor ( Long wavy hair )( 37 ) voice of an angel from Tifton Georgia. Adam Chance(Aka Chance):Baritone/Bass ( 39 ) deep, rich voice(Does the juice harp sound in Man Of Constant Sorrow) has short dark hair short beard from Baldwin County, Alabama. Replaced Chris Rupp ( Adams Brother and co founder in 2016) They have collaborated with many singers and legends Don McLean:American Pie Oak Ridge Boys:Elvira Kenny Rodgers:Children Go Where I Send Thee (Please watch the end message) Billy Gilman:One Voice Alabama:Christmas In Dixie Mark Wills:Don’t Laugh At Me ( important message at the end ) Lee Greenwood & US Airforce Band:God Bless The USA Any many more. They have 3 amazing songwriters in the group Tim,Austin and Chance So they have a very large playlist of covers and original songs End of the Road (Boyz 2 Men cover ) When A Loves A Woman Helplessly Hoping (5 part harmony masterpiece ) Unchained Melody Butts Medley/ Remix Listen To The Music Can’t Outrun You Brothers In Arms Stargazer Trilogy( All Originals written by Austin) Give Me A Sign ( Chapter 1) Stargazer Lilies( Chapter 2) MR (Chapter 3) Skull And Bones ( original written by Chance for Ubisoft new video game Skull And Bones) Might As Well Be Me ( Original) Playing With Fire ( Original) Remember My Name (Original) Oh Pretty Woman Life Is A Highway Stand By Me Cruise I Want Crazy Christmas In LA ( Newest Release Mayday(DON’T WATCH TILL YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE GROUP AND THEIR RANGES ) There's not a song that you pick from their 200+ catalog that is bad I haven't found one yet. They are just funny, down to earth, humble really nice guys.They are the best A Cappella group there is IMO Sorry for the long read

[@patriciaemeigh4370]

Appreciate how you keep introducing your friends to HF. From what I have seen, their reactions are very positive. You do a good thing when you open this door to those who just don’t know this group. Keep going. Happy New Year!

The song that launched a million reaction channels. Have you reacted to Butts Remix yet? This song got REALLY big because George Clooney was shown singing it in the movie of the same name. The song was a central plot device of the movie. It's an odd and wonderful film.

[@myowndrum286]

The first time I heard this song was not in the movie Brother, Where Art Thou? It was sung by a black man sitting in a jail cell. It was an old black and white from the 1940s. I wish I could find the name of the movie. It's was at least 40 years ago I watched it late one night.

[@shirleybuffington6420]

You should check out the Adam Rupp drum solo video

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Ain't no rivalry between Home Free, VoicePlay, and Pentatonix. The groups have worked together making videos many times whether is one member of a group singing with one of the others or arranging the song for the other group. Another a cappella group that has worked with Tim Foust, HF's bass is The Bass Gang. Tim did Hooked On a Feeling with the other four basses (with a quick cameo by their manager).

[@rachelhurst3224]

Country has its roots in Africa. The Africans on the plantations introduced Spirituals and work songs. Those Spirituals led to Gospel. Work songs to the blues and folk music. I created a pretty cool venn diagram about it when I was teaching my students. In fact, the banjo was created on the plantation and based on the African instrument, the kora. All Western music (blues, country, rock, jazz, pop, r&b, rap...) is rooted in Africa. Interestingly enough, metal is most closely related to European classical music with its chord structures, scales, and embellishments.

[@jdeutsch337]

Being from a hip-hop background I know you’ve heard a lot of beatboxing, listen to Adam Rupp drum solo, I think you will be surprised.

[@darrenshoults4620]

I do hope you know that aside from Adam Rupp, the main beat boxer 3 other members can beat box as well. Including Chance standing in back with the black vest doing the juice harp sound heard heavily at the beginning and end and at a lower volume throughout the song.
