Home Free is an all A cappella group. Most people don’t realize the drums, harmonica, etc are done by their talented beat boxer. No instruments other than the voice. It’s quite amazing.

[@nadivkaspi6211]

Adam is beyond talented. His beat boxing is SO impressive, many of my friends thought it was just a drum kit. The things he's able to do is unbelievable. My favorite thing he does is a "cross stick" sound in "Ring of Fire (w/ Avi Kaplan).

Adam is amazing but the Jawharp was incredible in this video.

The R in "Lover" is called a *rothic* "R" and is quite specific to the southern accent - and that's probably why it is present there. (it's not lovah.. is lov'r) This is typical of Virginia Piedmont southern accent. You will not get this in Florida, but is widely present in southern Viriginia, the Carolinas, portions of Georgia, Alabama. and Kentucky.

Tim Foust, the bass from Texas, has been known to blow the sound system. They're ALL vocal, and are even better live. No overlay or dubs, live.

[@belinda9696]

The lead singer Austin Brown is from South Georgia so it's a true accent lol! I've seen them do this live on stage, there is no harmonica, I was in the second row close to stage on Adam Rupp's (beatboxer) side of the stage and got a good view of him doing that harmonica sound with his mouth. It was amazing!

[@gbwillson]

Kind funny you should mention Austin as the lead singer. Yes, he is the lead on this song, but I find it amazing that 4 of the 5 members can and do sing lead. So much talent...

[@tarjaikola]

Belinda G I’ve seen Adam Rupp do the harmonica sound too! No gimmicks, it is his mouth only doing it. And all the other sounds he can do, wow. But what I love the most is how he keeps it simple and always fitting for the song and does not overdo or enhance himself. Only in his solo he does that :D

Great review Tara. Loved the reaction. Home free stated on "the singoff" that they spend 200 days on the road touring. They seem to shrug off all the distraction and their singing is amazing.

Your critique is as amazing as the performance, so insightful. Your ears are wired for perfect pitch. Well done. Really enjoyed your video today as a fan of "country." Thank you.

[@BirdYoumans]

The art as a singer is about technique. The art as a performer is to become the song. When you have both, you move people. As for country music, once infected with it, there's no effective inoculation to cure that infection. I will leave it up to the reader to decide if that is a good or bad thing, but once you feel it, It's kinda like the blues. And once you feel the blues, then there's no going back. It is a musical form of freedom that has no equal and it is so liberating. Music for the musician as opposed to the music lover is not what we do, it's who we are. I was impressed at your analysis. You are quite perceptive and I enjoyed your commentary. You explained it quite well but most of all, you get it!

Tim starts to sing bass at 5:06 *Tara loves him* 5:33 *Proceeds to go a whole octave lower

[@arcticzzshadow8421]

Denil Joseph actually the high reverb growl at 5:33 was chance and not tim. Thats why the video focuses on chance at that part. Chance can hit almost the same low ranges as tim at a much higher reverberated sound so they tend to use his voice to accent tim’s and its prevalent here.

[@deniljoseph5534]

@@arcticzzshadow8421 Oh, well thank you kind sir for explaining that to me. Both Tim and Chance are great singers tho

[@themajor743]

@@arcticzzshadow8421 Indeed - Since Chance joined the group they've had a much smoother bass/baritone sound field as they can either do as you've just mentioned or Chance can ease into supporting the underlying base tone while Tim rises to sing in whatever register is called for (pretty much means anything when you've got a five Octave range like he does). And of course the two can trade back and forth if the piece requires it. They do it so smoothly that few people even notice it happening which is really impressive.

[@anxofernandez3344]

You hit the nail on the head when you said "country digs its heels into what it is unapologetically". I think that's what makes it so great. I love country, country rock, rockabilly, southern rock, early Rock & Roll, blues,old school R&B and soul (ike 40s to 70s). Those genres (maybe not R&B anymore) tend to be very loyal to their roots. Popular music these days seems very artificial, processed and machine made. That's why I like the older stuff.

I also prefer the live version of this song, mostly because of the dual harmonicas that Austin and Adam do!

I like live performances too, but the guys (Greenshoe)that produce HF videos do such a great job. And the biggest problem with recording a live performance is the sound. The subtleties of a Cappella demand great sound or you lose out.

You accurately captured what makes country music a distinct genre and given the a cappella nature of this performance, it's hard to hide behind a lot of instrumentation and electronic massaging. Loved your reaction to the bass! I'm a baritone who also sings bass II (in High School is was a basso profondo) and to have that rich of a tone on those low notes is all structural. You either have it or don't have it. Helps that I have a 3 octave range. I'm not a super fan of modern country music. I tend to enjoy old school country and Home Free really captured the spirit of Union Station's version that was featured in Man of Constant Sorrow, with George Clooney. The song itself is probably an old American folk song with some attribution to Dick Burnett in 1913 but Mr. Burnett thinks perhaps he learned it from someone else! Thanks for the review Tara!

Coincidentally The Sing Off introduced me to both Pentatonix and Home Free👌🏾🤩
