Voice Teacher Reacts to HOME FREE - Folsom Prison Blues (Johnny Cash Cover)

[@StevesTubes]

To really hear Tim's range, listen to his solo "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay".

[@bennyboman6570]

I totaly agree with you. That song is something else! ❤

[@ChrisHaar]

Yes yes yes

[@gk5891]

Yes, you will love it. It's also far from country. It's never a good idea to try to pigeonhole these guys.

[@patrickhumphreys5851]

Yes absolutely yes yes yes

[@rucerius4968]

Agreed, Tim will totally blow you away with this one.

[@sp72929]

They did a cover of Brothers in arms - the harmonies are unbelievable - you will love it! 😁

[@tomaszbielak]

React to this, please!

[@pennygarrity386]

When Chris left he actually hand picked Chance (who was already a friend of the group) to take his place because whereas Chris was a low tenor Chance is a baritone and could do the bass whenTim sings lead much easier than he could. What is also so amazing about this song is that it was done during lock down so they were in 5 different locations in 3 different states. Loved your smile all the way through the song. I love Adam in this. He just looked the part of some locked up head case and Tim's smile when he hit that low note was just sinister. LOL

[@dagmar.6954]

The guys did a great job of this Johnny Cash cover. Made it into a jazzy blues style. And they all look like some sort of criminals especially Tim & Adam. Remember this was done during quarantine so none of them were physically together. They were very creative during that time. Love the background train noises. Adam's beatboxing is crazy good & so is Tim's low notes.

[@richardfranz3180]

Speaking of high harmonies, try their cover of "Helplessly Hoping". Another a capella group you may want to consider is Voice Play. Their most recent release is "Enemy".

[@beth5870]

Adam Chance was in Street Corner Symphony which came in second place in second season of the Sing-Off. I don’t know if you watched that season, but if you did- you have probably seen him before. He is a baritone, and he covers bass for Tim when he leads.

[@jerrybaker2857]

See Street Corner Symphony videos of Hard to Handle, Uptown Funk and Madness.

[@upsidedownpyramid7617]

He is a crazy bass just like Tim, his range is not as wide but it’s still crazy powerful

[@lindanearing4710]

If you haven't followed them for a while, you've missed a lot. Every time I think they can't create better music than their current video, they're like, "hold my beer", and they do just that. They set the bar ridiculously high and then go ahead and surpass it every time. They have put out some fabulous music just in the past couple of years. I absolutely adore these guys and can't get enough of them. Thanks for the great reaction.

[@steveeverett1736]

keep in mind both Tim and Austin have their own pages on YT, and Tim just came out with some new stuff also around 2 months ago, they came out with Unchained Love. Their cover of End of the Road is both fun and incredible and I feel most of us would recommend you work up to Mayday by reacting to some of their other stuff first

[@angelamiller6275]

AMEN! Totally agree!

[@richardbezila6495]

Tim has a one man A cappella (layered) Doo-Wop rendition of “Will You Still Love Me / Stay” that is the benchmark for his entire range!!!

[@tonyparker9571]

More Home Free !!!!! Greetings from Tasmania, Australia

[@tonyparker9571]

p.s. The joy on your face matches what I feel every time I listen to them. Like you, I stated with Home Free on Sing-Off 4. If you have been away from them for a while, the fact that they have got better and better from an already high starting point I expect should be amazing if you had not been along for the ride that has happened song by song.... I almost envy you being able to observe that jump in one hit !! I introduced Home Free to a new small group I was asked to join just this week, and once again got such a buzz watching their reactions ( trained singers all) . Keen to see more of your work ! Cheers

[@shellywagoner5259]

Listen to the music is a must listen to, and seeing them live is absolutely amazing!!! Thank you for your channel, you seem to have a beautiful soul. God Bless!

[@stephanginther9051]

Have you seen their cover of 'Mayday' by CAM yet? if not you should check that out. Tim Faust also did a solo project including an amazing version of 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay'. If you haven't seen Mayday I strongly suggest doing that one _before_ doing will you still love me. If none of that works, did you know that Don Mclean did a 50th anniversary re-release of 'American Pie?' He partnered with Home Free on it. He said that he did it with them because, "They *get* harmonies."

[@brendasorenson6186]

Yes, since you are familiar with HF check out MAYDAY!

[@williamroop451]

This was part of their Quarantine series - created in their own homes and brought together in production - a present to their fan base to help us through...

[@angelamiller6275]

And, they did exactly that! Kept all their Home Fries from going crazy!🤪

[@patriziosailor]

11:26 You want to hear some different Home Free... "Thinking Out Loud / Let's Get It On (Ed Sheeran and Marvin Gaye)," "End of the road (Boys to Men)," "Mayday" (Cam)...in that order. Then you will understand their range, and get what you are looking for from Austin and Rob.

[@minneyruth]

💯💯

[@bernieregnier4500]

awesome review and reaction, well you will have a lot of catching up to do as they have put out quite a few video releases with some amazing stuff, many genres, but you know that already....... have fun!! They are simply an amazing array of vocal talent individually and collectively.😍

[@tbruce8187]

If you haven't been listening to them lately you owe it to yourself to check out some more of their newer stuff. Some of their best work came out during quarantine.

[@sakadula]

You literally sparkle with sentience. Your brain is supertuned to subtleties, and your mouth is articulate--an altogether eloquent combination. You work!

[@gk5891]

Chance is a Baritone with a 4 octave range. The are all fairly tall. In the 6'1" - 6"4" range. Those numbers are a joke though. The board they gave Chance shows 5'. When Tim instructs he emphasizes that bases need to work on their upper range. He believes the added vocal flexibility helps performance everywhere.

[@jaskim5723]

Chance is really only a baritone here because of Tim.

[@DennisKovacich]

I heard Chance was on his knees for filming his closeups.

[@gk5891]

@@jaskim5723 He started as a Baritone but the choir needed a Bass at Tuscaloosa so he volunteered to sing Bass when he was at the University of Alabama.

[@jonathanwienke512]

For more of Tim's range, check out Mayday (Cam cover), Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold with Peter Hollens, then his solo project Will You Still Love me Tomorrow/ Stay. In that order, preferably.

[@cowboy1165]

Speaking of, Adam Chance, he sings a great song with a duo called the "Hound and the Fox" featuring Adam Chance. The song is called "Wayfaring Stranger."

[@jeffhensley6929]

Yes! It is a beautiful rendition!

[@Brirend]

They did two songs at the same time. "Wayfaring Stranger", was done for Adam's channel and is "featuring The Hound and The Fox" and they also did "The Sound of Silence" for The Hound and The Fox's channel "featuring Adam Chance".

[@Tribblepuppy]

Home Free has a new cover out, 'The Driver'. If you love great acapella harmonies, this song will knock your socks off. They don't do covers, they do upgrades. Happy listening! ✌️😎

[@par500dragon7]

Hi! New sub here... I'm a Home Fry from the beginning as well (since the Sing-Off), and love their music. You may remember another aca group from the Sing-Off - Voice Play. If you haven't heard their more recent stuff, treat yourself to Hoist the Colors, Warriors, Carry On Wayward Son, or the Wicked Medley. They have grown and evolved exponentially since the show!

[@davehahn23]

Would love to hear you react to Voiceplay as well as Geoff Castelucci's solo stuff.

[@DeerlyMusical2]

My favorite part of this song is the evil grin Tim gives us at the end of his second solo. Great stuff!!! My must-listen list: Brothers in Arms, End of the Road, One Man Band, Do You Hear What I Hear, Ain't Goin' Down ('Til the Sun Comes Up), Between a Rock and a Heartache, and Helplessly Hoping.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Well you know Home Free has a great sense of humor, they were messing with us on the heights, but they all are between 6 ft 1 and 6 ft 4...Chance is 6ft 3, and congrats to him as he and the pretty & lovely Miss Sami married recently. Chris left the group in May of 2016 and Chance replaced him....no animosity as Chris left to pursue a solo career.

[@jaskim5723]

And if I remember correctly, Chris helped in the search for his replacement.

[@geniej9093]

Your smiles were all I needed to hear/see.

[@mikeconway9849]

I can tell by your reactions that you are a fan. Great video!

[@jonchicoine]

One of the best smiles on the internet… just love your your reactions!

[@joechandler8398]

Adam Chance singing Wayfaring Stranger is amazing too.

[@williamtetrault1300]

Totally apropos of nothing, but you have a joyfully beautiful smile, ma’am! It changes the analysis from “just another …” to “Wow!, I’m enjoying listening to her comments”. Thank you!

[@vikkicooke4073]

Tim does an outstanding job in mayday. Listen to that next 😊

[@fpresley]

Adam Chance was the bass for Street Corner Symphony the year before Home Free won season 4. Street Corner Symphony was runner up to Pentatonix that year. Home Free asked him to join their group in around 2014/2015 when Chris Rupp left the group.

[@franciscojavierp.7162]

A very great decision to hear 2 songs. Thank you for your joy and expertise

[@jasonsomething6003]

you gotta do more Home Free reactions! loved it

[@matthewgoodA1206]

I liked what you said about keeping vibrato out of vocal harmonies. Have only recently tried my hand at harmonizing, I realized I was using straight tone without thinking about it. Then I reflected that heavy vibrato would sort of hold voices back from the most cohesive blend.

[@Pattio47]

Tim’s voice is like melted chocolate 😍

[@hammertime615]

The height charts are just Home Free goofing around..also this was done as part of their quarantine series...amazing editing

[@glennelfmann3143]

If I am not mistaken, Adam Chance sang bass in the group he was in before Home Free

[@samzilla1281]

Yep. Street Corner Symphony.

[@bookwormben]

Came in 2nd to Committed on the Sing Off

[@invinciblefeelings1439]

Loved the reaction, thank you for this reaction...

[@randyhawley7202]

Love this reaction ! Chance is a baritone with a good bass range - and I think that gives them a lot of freedom, considering Tim's excellent higher ranges. Nothing against Chris Rupp, but Chance works really well with 'the boys'. Hope to see you do more Home Free ! I suggest as MUST see Home Free: 'When a Man Loves A Woman', 'Brothers in Arms', 'End of the Road', 'In The Blood' and (save this for later) 'Mayday'.

[@annebiebrich9155]

React to homefree's cover of "Mayday" by Cam! It will shock you and blow you away ! Lots of "eargasmic" surprised

[@annepinkerton6280]

You definitely need to see their cover of Mayday!!!!

[@user-rn1hn3fg5y]

Welcome back, Miss Bethany. Glad you're here with us.

[@sknaysmith]

I love your smile and enthusiasm. 😁 just wait until you get more Home Free songs!

[@eileenegger1466]

Home Free throws in a few inside jokes;the height chart is one. This is one they did during quarantine and put together after the fact because they were each in their own homes. When a Man Loves a Woman was also filmed apart and it’s genius how they put it together. Austin shines in it. Adam Chance is a brilliant addition to the group. He goes by Chance since there are two Adams.

[@LunaKat9]

Great reaction, thank you! I absolutely agree with your observation about vibrato and how it is often overused by other groups. As far as the older Home Free with Chris, they were great for sure, but the new lineup with Chance brought a breath of fresh air to their repertoire which is quite more diverse these days and it encompasses so much more than just country. Moreover, Chance brings a new balance to the group with his ability to sing bass, not just baritone, and allows Tim to use his higher range more often. I hope you explore their albums "Timeless, Dive Bar Saints, and Songs of lockdown"... you will discover new facets to the Home Free you probably remember.

[@randallshuck2976]

Several of their songs you might not have heard because they feature Adam Chance are "In the Blood", "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Helplessly Hoping", "American Pie", "Still haven't found what I'm looking for" and "When a man loves a woman". Just for Tims range check out his layered cover of "Will you still love me tomorrow/stay".

[@wendischambach6181]

Love that you were a fan before they made it big! There's a few of us out here. 😉 It's tough in a popular group to have a member change. Pentatonix did it successfully and, as you pointed out, so did Home Free. But HF did something different than PTX: they looked at where they were and where they were going or wanted to go. So when Chris Rupp, the baritone, left Home Free wisely looked for a singer that could sing baritone but could also cover bass when Tim sings lead. Chance was the bass in his former group and he covers the low end extremely well. I miss Chris, but HF did what a great group must do: "how do we get better in this change?" IMO, changes are tough but if you must make them, do it well and Home Free nailed it! Suggestions: "My Church" and (since you already know the group and their usual ranges) "Mayday"

[@mellowmarsha6166]

If you haven't been following them, you have missed so much!!! Keep checking out their stuff and you might be pleasantly surprised by some of their songs.

[@bobharp3492]

More voice play would love to see you do the song my mother told me. Geoff the bass shows off a little you will love it

[@DarrellW_UK]

You really should check out VoicePlay, they’re very similar but perhaps a bit more playful! Best tracks to look at to great a feel for them are: The Dragon born comes, The Oogie Boogie man and We don’t talk about Bruno; I guarantee you will enjoy them! Great review and I think I shall have to check out more of their work 💖

[@nethanelmasters5170]

One of my favorite songs by them is End of the road by boys to men. Rob shines in it.

[@belinda9696]

Adam Chance, or "Chance" as they call him (because there are 2 Adams in the group), started singing with them in 2016 after Chris Rupp left to do his solo career. He filled the baritone spot but sings a deep bass also (not as deep as Tim though) and was the bass in the Sing-Off season 2 in the group Street Corner Symphony where they were runner up in that season.

[@glennspreeman1634]

notice how Tim is such an actor, especially when henhits that last basement note.

[@Quizzy0000]

if you wanna hear Tim Foust range i recommend this solo song he did all vocals on: Tim Foust - Will You Still Love me Tomorrow/ Stay

[@TheCgOrion]

Adam Chance has been a fantastic addition to the group, and he has some awesome lead and solo parts. In real life they are all very similar in height. I was standing a couple of feet from them, and while most of them were wearing boots, it seemed like they are all 6' - 6' 2". I'm guessing somewhere in that range.

[@annschafer9343]

Since you are familiar with Home Frees voices you need to listen to their cover of MAYDAY by CAM. There’s a surprise with Tim Foust and Adam Chance

[@Brirend]

Check out Tim's version of "Can't help falling in love" from his album before he joined Home Free.

[@hamblinta]

Chance has been with the group since 2016 when Chris Rupp decided to go solo. Chance also appeared on the Sing Off with a different group (sorry, I can’t remember the name of the group).

[@Kennthpassanisi8139]

if you watch Home Free's cover of "Brothers in Arms " you'll hear Adam Chance do a great job also, sharing lead with Tim Foust

[@e.l.mcguire7464]

If you didn’t know who Chance was, you have TONS of catching up to do! Dive down the rabbit hole and enjoy!

[@Karl-Walter]

Seems like someone missed out on Home Frees take on Camaron Ochss "Mayday" . . . (~07:30). And Tim did a solo acappella album called "Pieces Of Me" where his whole range of good five octaves is showcased. He transforms literally into a barbershop of his own.

[@stephanginther9051]

4:40 If you watch the height thing in the background, it changes several times giving them varying heights as a joke, but the Home Free members are all over 6 feet. I believe chance is the shortest but I don't care enough to look it up. (I also only know this because I saw someone else answer the same question on another reactor's channel)

[@williamcapp448]

Check out Chance's version of Wayfaring Stranger which he recorded with the Fox and the Hound.

[@sbrengard]

You have a lot to catch up on. Cant wait to see you go down this rabbit hole.

[@fredtuerck4662]

You’ve gotta listen to Tim’s solo “Will you still love me tomorrow/stay. He is unreal

[@meemermarie1977]

Tims solo song of beach boys song “in my room” you get a very good look at his range”

[@SuperStan1971]

Tim's great range as demonstrated by 'SnowGlobe, 'Mayday' and of course his Doo Wop sounds.

[@phillipjohnson437]

Check out the song Mayday and Bless the Broken Road. Very much enjoyed your reaction

[@hayley_council]

The one that said 6'4 was Austin, who is actually the shortest at 6'1 and a half (as he says) Rob is the tallest at 6'4 (also the only one that does not wear cowboy boots, so he never actually looks taller than the others) the other three, are between there. I think Adam Rupp is 6'2 with Chance and Tim at 6'3.... Chris Rupp in an interview once said that he wished that tour buses had larger births as they are all big boys and he wasn't kidding.

[@kaelynshea5533]

You want to hear go in his higher range...react to "Mayday". That is so amazing

[@darrylweatherly808]

Great reaction, now you need to go full circle and check out Voicplay, The Oogie Boogie Song from the Nightmare Before Christmas is my favorite. And another great Bass is Geoff Castellucci and he also does his own videos

[@shihansensei983]

Please give a listen to Austin's solo of Les Miserable's Bring Him Home. Also Home Free's collaboration with Peter Hollens doing I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.

[@samschneider938]

Check out Tim's solo recording of "Will you still love me/Stay" asap

[@samschneider938]

Like now.

[@helheimx]

I saw an interwiev with Tim, where he told that he has sung tenor in other a capella groups

[@dalepettiner5036]

This was done during the COVID lockdowns. They each recorded from their own homes and it was then put together.

[@davidkrutsinger5414]

If you like the prison settings try their version of Unchained Melody.

[@larrysherman5254]

The Height Charts behind them was their little jab at some internet sites. If you look up Adam Chance, for example, sites list his height anywhere from 5'4" all the way to 6'4".

[@rebeccagibbs8794]

LUV this reaction so much! Can I just say, although you've heard Home Free songs, on your own, I'd still like to see your...analysis? 🤔 It may not be a 1st reaction, but, I'd love it anyway! ❤️

[@heinz57channel39]

The funny part is chance was in the sing off with “street corner symphony” he was the base and a damn good one

[@richardedwards8156]

if you were a fan of the Sing-Off (as I was) you've seen Adam Chance before. He was a group called Stree Corner Symphony.

[@CaptnSacto]

Tim shows off his great falsetto in "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay".

[@karinfichtner7479]

For some good Chance stuff....catch the stuff he does with the Fox and Hound.....like Wayfaring Stranger. Such a deep bass sound.....but not unpleasantly so. I love Chance's voice.

[@lisahanneman4388]

You will be shocked by Tim's range in their cover of Mayday by Cam

[@johnbarry1712]

Just curious, have you heard their version of Mayday? Or End of the Road? Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer?

[@clstjam4321]

If you like Adam Chance's voice, you should hear " Some Girls Do". It's another fun song and one of my favorites. Also "Helplessly Hoping".

[@riverdrop777]

"I'm Yours" is my personal favorite Chance lead. "In the Blood" is great as well.

[@terjeolsen489]

You should listen to Tim,s solo album covering Bee-boop. Especially the mash up "Would you still love me tomorrow/Stay". THAT will blow you away.

[@annebiebrich9155]

I heard in an interview that Chris Rupp recommended Chance to the group before he left!

[@SuperStan1971]

Thanks for your reaction =)

[@jorge_tomas]

Waaaow your smile😍😍😍

[@RadioactiveLobster]

If you want more Chance, listen to their cover of "Cover Me Up"

[@fd009597]

chris rupp just did a KZbin series on history of HOMEFREE from the concept to present very informative and down right funny shows how funny they all are worth a watch

[@terryallen450]

Tim just released his own album if you want to see his highs go check out "will you still love me tomorrow/stay" !

[@olddog330]

Your grin was big enough to be used as projection screen. I'd describe Chance's voice as Protean, not only in terms of his considerable range but also the variety of his timbre, tone, and characterizations.

[@sylviasargent2727]

You should watch Tim do Stay/ Will You Love Me tomorrow. You get his Whole range!!!!!

[@sdmercer99]

you have the most beautiful smile

[@pfalzgraf7527]

Do you know about Tim's "pieces of me" album? He does ALL the parts on this. (I have no idea if you may have looked at this in the meantime) But YT doesn't give me a vocalyt video with Tim Foust ... so, ... have a look!

[@kennethrobinson6334]

Being a long term fan and knowing the group, if you haven't heard Mayday yet, that would be one to react to.

[@johnmeggers5059]

PLEASE take a listen to the Small Town Titans version of Folsom Prison Blues. The bass player and lead singer has an (I think) amazing voice.

[@Mnunnsr]

Helplessly Hoping is fantastic

[@samplerworker6803]

If you really want to hear Tim in his upper register you need to listen to Mayday. He will definitely surprise you in that one.

[@riverdrop777]

"Snow globe" is another good one. ☺
