Anyone missing home will relate to this song.
This is also one of my favorites!
The best cover of this song I have ever heard
Ive heard people on here say home free dont do covers, they do upgrades. Its sooo true
They are just simply the best!
This is my favorite HF song. They put the melancholy and homesickness in this cover when they slowed it down. Yes, it is a masterpiece.
My favorite version ❤❤❤
If you want Home-Free cold chills, react to “How Great Thou Art” and “God Bless the USA” featuring Lee Greenwood and the Air Force Band’s Singing Sargents.
I grew up listening to John Denver's songs. Hundreds of artists have covered this song. But I feel Home Free took this one to another level for me. It is one of my favorite covers of this song. I love everything about it. It is a masterpiece. Home Free is my favorite a cappella group hands down.
I agree completely! Masterpiece!
John Denver was my favorite singer for most of my life.
They slowed it down and you're right you can feel it, The way they switched singers and their harmonies are so good together. I'm looking forward to your next Home Free reaction.
I just love this version of this song❤
SAME!
If you really want your mind blown check out Rob and Austin sing Opera "Two Country SingersTry Singing Opera " These guys can do anything!
Added to the list :)
Loving your Home Free journey, Ginger!
This is definitely a Top 5 favourite for me! Their 5 years spent perfecting their arrangement to the point where they felt John Denver would love it too was well worth it!
You are learning, Home Free never disappoints!!

What have I heard so many say? They don't do covers, they do upgrades.
I have a feeling that John Denver would have approved...
Agreed!
I date their videos as pre pandemic just looking at Tim's hair
Another great one from the guys. Such fabulous harmonies.
Love Home Free's version. I am sure John Denver would be so very proud. Love your reaction!
Thank you very much! :)
Thanks for this one.....this really shows that HF doesn't just cover the song....they upgrade and enhance it...or put their twist on it!
Delta dawn was great and worth listening to. Listen to the music, Crazy, How great thou Are, Blue ain’t your Color are just a few great ones
One of my favorites. I agree. Their harmonies are unmatched. They took years to get the arrangement just right on this iconic song. They made it like a ballad to me. Love it. Good reaction Ginger!😍
Thank you so much! :)
I've been asked many times what my favorite Home Free song is and it's really almost impossible to answer considering their vast catalogue of music. But, this would be it if I could choose only one. For me, it highlights the best of each of them in one song. It's a beautiful arrangement that the guys worked on perfecting for almost 5 years before they recorded it. There's nothing I would change about it. Great reaction Ginger - enjoying your Home Free journey. 🍟
So glad you enjoyed this so much! It's one of my favorites, too.!
It doesn't get any better than this.
Nope :)
Awwww, love your memories ❤
I luv their newst vid (written. By austin) “playing with fire”. Its sizzling hot
Thank you Ginger; this is one of my Home Free favorites! It’s like a warm fuzzy blanket. It doesn’t hurt that it’s sung by country boys, I feel it adds to the sincerity of what they’re sing. Looking forward to your next HF reaction!
A warm fuzzy blanket is a perfect description!
Home Free also has a version of Denver’s Thank God I’m a Country Boy, if you’re interested.
I am! They have always played that at Orioles games during the 7th inning stretch. I don't live there anymore but have great memories of it! Thank you!
In the 80's when my son and I were without a vehicle.. I would sing while we walked to pass the time..this was a favorite...
Bless you Ginger...
🌿🌿🌿
God bless you, Pamela :)
One of their very best arrangements imo, and oh so beautifully sung. ❤. It is like a love song to John Denver’s original. Great reaction!
Thank you, friend!
They sang this when they were recently in Oregon and encouraged a sing-along.
But the most impressive version of that was in Europe where the audience sang every word with them. I usually don't like that - but with them, it was stunning.

This song is from my teen years. We would drive down the roads windows down singing at the top of our lungs. Good Ole country girls! John Denver would be so proud. Glad you found them.
These men make my heart happy and my face smile!❤
Took Adam Rupp 5 years wirk8on the arrangement before he said it was ready!. They have done this in concert, so much fun!
Oh to see this live! WOW!
I echo the sentiment and memories of growing up listening to John, for me it was with my mom. We saw him in concert several times. The one time we were in front row, I was about 7 or 8 years old and had a shirt on that said "Thank God I'm a Country Girl", he pointed to me that he loved it. I will never forget it. He was a wonderful soul, and as an avid fan of Home Free, I think he would have loved this. I still get teary with this song occasionally.
What a beautiful memory! Thanks for sharing it :)
Ginger - loved your reaction - this rendition hit me hard in the feels as well - such a soulful, heartfelt upgrade to an already awesome classic - their version really tugged at my heart and made me feel like I heard it for the very first time. I've seen these guys in concert 4 times and they are exactly who you think they are.
I'm no spring chicken but their youthfulness (egads they are in their 40's but they're kids to me) makes me feel alive!!!
I've met them and they are just plain down home good guys who make wonderful music and they don't mind sharing the stage.
They've collaborated with many of the "BIGS" / Oak Ridge Boys, Kenny Rogers, Don McLean, just to name a few but also collab with lesser known acts because they've been in their shoes....
Keep up the great work and never apologize - you have the "Home Frie" Nation backing you up!!

ps - Ginger Snaps was and still is my favorite cookie as a kid and now as a grampa!!
I love Ginger Snaps also :) Thanks for your comment!
Apparently, in Australia, the song "The Horses" evokes the same feelings we have for this song. Home Free recently released a version of that song with 2 Australian singers. I had never heard it before, but it's a great song/video.
Cool, I'll have to give it a listen! Thanks :)
I was born in West Virginia and it has always been my home, until a few years ago. I live in NC now. When I hear this song I have the urge to pack and go back home to West Virginia. Someday I will The song brings back lots of memories . I have always loved John Denver’s version, now Home Free is my favorite version.
Thank you for your reaction‼️ They took awhile to do this one…it was requested & requested…but, they weren’t putting it out until they got it where they were happy with it. That’s just how they are 💗🎶🎵🎶💗
And it's perfect! :)
Hey Ginger, I really appreciate your sincere reactions. I really enjoy how Home Free always puts a smile on their listeners faces. If you're having a bad day, you should probably put some Home Free on!
Thank you! I agree. This song definitely brought about a mood change and took away some of the stress of the day with great memories. Just what I needed :)
Ginger, that was a great reaction! Love the story behind it for you! Who have you drawn to when you listen to these guys? The one you can’t wait to hear sing?!
Thank you! Friend, I believe your question broke my brain. Lol! I was going to start by saying Tim, but then I went back and listened to a few of the songs again and I truly can't decide. I just love them all for different reasons and simply can't pick. Tim was my initial reaction to your question, however. ;)
My dad used to sing this to me before we went to bed at night (he's a wonderful tenor) and then he played the whole JD album for me on 8-track when he couldn't be there to sing. Plus I graduated from WVU, and this is WVU's theme song for every football game. Let's GO!!! Mountaineers!!! Love this one for many personal reasons. Thank you so much for reacting to this one. So much going on here that is astounding. Hard to put into words.
Wow,
John Denver's version is obviously the classic. Chance's version with Peter Hollens is lovely and has a modern feel. But Home Free's version is still my family's favorite--hands down!
Besides the unbelievable harmonies, getting to hear Adam Rupp's sweet tenor actually singing is such a great treat ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
Such vocal talent this group has. They just take a cover and add their own little twists to it and most of the time make it better then the original. Home Free has a very loyal fan base for a reason vocal excellence and very grounded guys. I have a few suggestions from Home Free. "BLUE AIN'T YOUR COLOR", "MARY DID YOU KNOW", and "MY CHURCH".
peace
Hi Ginger! If you want an in depth look at these phenomenal talents jump on RUclips and pull History of Home Free. They have 7 videos that are about half hour each and it tells how they got started, all the people that were in the group and how they ended up with the guys they have now. Very interesting and funny also. If you're going to see them live you will not be disappointed. I believe they are the best group out there today. Have a great day! Loved the reaction.
Thanks! I didn't know and I will definitely watch them. I'm truly loving every minute of this group!
This is a beautiful cover, and Tim's friend Geoff Castellucci of VoicePlay also did an amazing Low bass cover of this song. Geoff and his clones have a way of making old songs new again. It would help if you had some VoicePlay/Geoff Castellucci in your life also. Will subscribe here for both of my favorite groups.
Will do! They are both on my list. Maybe this weekend :)
I heard once if your going to do a classic like this you better bring it and they sure did!!
Only nostalgia can make someone not like a cover by them better than the original .
I’m glad you liked this. Now you need to check out Geoff Castellucci’s solo (if you can call five Geoffs solo!) cover.
Hi, fairly new sub here. Im enjoying watching your reactions but wish you would turn up the volume a bit on the music please.
Thank you for the feedback. Will do!
Being born in Morgantown W Va I always liked this song. Now I enjoy it even more. By the way, anybody here know John Denver's real name?
Go Rest High on That Mountain you need it next
If you liked "Listen to the Music".....take a little time to watch their 50th anniversary collaboration with Don Maclean on "American Pie".
Although, mon ami, I did see thia before, it was pleasing to view your reaction NOW, if I may, as a subscriber, suggest investig CAKRA KHAN: Tennessee Whiskey...and his others !
Will do! Thank you for subbing to my channel!
Some years back, while on deployment by my French Directorate, to San Angelo, Tex-ass, to teach in a USAF tech. school, I discovered a hospitable roadside saloon. It's owner & only bar-keep was a woman who bore a remarkable resemblance to yourself...a doppelganger of sorts, in looks, voice and manner. TaTa !
