Home Free is gaining not just popularity, but also respect because of the respect they show to those who have paved the way. They were honored to make the re-make of American Pie with Don McClean for the 50th anniversary of the song. They recorded with Kenny Rodgers shortly before he passed, and have done a couple of songs with the country music group of the century, Alabama! These boys are aa class act in every sense of the word. Love your reactions!
Jen,this was a honor for Home Free as it was something they always wanted to work with is to sing with Oak Ridge Boys. Check out "BEAUTIFUL STAR OF BETHLEHEM" With the Oaks and Jeffrey East.( the Oak Ridge Boys: are William Lee Golden (long beard baritone),Richard Sterban (bass),Joe Bonsell (tenor),Duane Allen (lead vocals).
Ah lovely!
That is a beautiful suggestion 😍😍
@@JenniferGlatzhofer : definitely react to: Coventry Carol by Penatatonix, Hunter Hayes medley and Alabama samplers medley by Home Free, Hocus Pocus ( hinting, by Voiceplay)
@@JenniferGlatzhofer And it was The Oaks who contacted HF
@@JenniferGlatzhofer in addition Richard Sterban had been performing with another Bass legend JD Sumner as Backup for ELVIS just before leaving and Joining the Oak Ridge Boys !!!
They blend so well with everyone. Home Free is just unreal
😁😁
Richard Sturbin is nearly 80 years old and his voice has changed a bit over the years, but, it is still incredible that he can pull off his full bass range.
Richard spent many years as a member of the JD Sumner's Stamps Quartet, backing Elvis Presley, before joining the Mighty Oaks. JD himself, was the most powerful low voice on the Gospel circuit and Elvis' singing idol, so it was no mean feat to be selected by Sumner.
Home Free invited the Oak Ridge Boys to be on their 2020 Christmas special which they filmed in a Covid bubble. The special was financed by the fans and Home Free surpassed their goals and were able to invite a number of guest artists along with the Oaks.
The Oak Ridge Boys have literally been singing "Elvira" longer than any member of Home Free has been alive on this Earth, and they sound GREAT every time. Fun Fact: The bass singer for the Boys, Richard Sterben, sang bass for Elvis Presley way back in the day.
Current members yes, because Tim was born in '81, but Chris Rupp would have been two at the time. Love this collaboration and how well their voices meshed.
@@andreaislandgirl720 I know the group has been around since 2000, and Tim just turned 40 a few months ago. Is Chris really that old?
@@JeffOfTheMountains Tim turned 41 this year, Adam turned 40, and Chris is 3 years older than his brother. I was surprised too, I thought he was maybe a year older.
I am stunned that so many people can sing in unison so tightly. The old boys are no joke either. Talent overload!
This is one of my favourites. I adore the friendly competition between the two high tenors and the two bases. And all the fan-boying on both sides is simply hilarious. Both groups seem to be completely enamored of each other. Like Home Free considers The Oak Ridge Boys their mentors/models, and The Oak Ridge Boys are kind of passing the baton. And the way Home Free can completely fill in for any instrumentals you might have expected is just so wonderful. There's never a feeling that something is missing.
As others have said, you have to listen to them singing Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem with the Oaks and Jeffrey East, never too soon for Christmas songs
In live shows following this video, Tim Foust joked that he usually felt very manly. But after meeting and listening to Richard Sterban, he felt like Austin must feel all the time.
Lol
I’ve seen that clip, hilarious.
😂😂
Lol =))
Do You Hear What I Hear, will always be one of my all time favs, and that was arranged by Adam Rupp himself. Breathtaking!!!
Agreed
One of my favourites is Home Free with Kenny Rogers “Children go where I send thee” and another is “American Pie’ with Don McLean.
Both are great, would love to see Jen's reaction
So glad you finally got around to this one, this collaboration is absolutely fantastic.
Another great collaboration that I think that you should check out would be Home Free - America Pie ft. Don McLean.
Thank you!
A great suggestion 👌
That's why home Free is so special. The arrangements they do themselves or accept from others are annoyed by their incredible vocals.
What a joy this was to watch. They always are, but this one especially!
"I want to sing with them...."
HOW DO WE KICKSTART IT
😁😁
Jen, as always your analysis videos ARE THE BEST. Goodness it's awesome to see your enthusiasm for acapella & especially for Home Free. So glad you appreciate their techniques & efforts. Not sure how to ask you review another Home Free down the line, but would love to hear you dive into Home Free's original DIVE BAR SAINTS. Chance leads the song and it is just pretty & fun...hopefully you'll see this...just let me know
Ah thank you 😊 I’ll see what I can do!
Dive Bar Saints is good. I slightly prefer the sequel, Catch Me If You Can. But the one should be viewed first.
This is a great collaboration between Home Free & The Oakridge Boys. "Elvira" was a huge hit for The Oakridge Boys in 1981. You can see the great respect these 2 groups have for each other. The Oakridge Boys are mentors to Home Free & it is like they are passing the baton to a younger version of themselves. They have performed together on the Grand Ole Opry. Adam Rupp's vocal percussion is the best in the business. He can simulate drums & any other sounds perfectly. Home Free is my favorite a cappella group. They are so talented yet very humble guys
I liked the way Adam finished with a tambourine smash.
Tim could have hit all the lowest bass parts he did with Richard. But out of respect he let Richard shine for 2 of them & then hit the lowest note only on the 3rd time.
You are adorable and you help us enjoy the details in songs that we wouldn't pick up on
YES!!! As so many other of Home Free's songs, this just makes me so incredibly happy, and it made all of them happy too. This was the first of many big collaborations that Home Free has done with artists that paved the way and inspired them along the way. The Oaks were the ones who introduced Home Free to the Grand Ole Opry and they adore each other. Thanks, Jen, watching you watch and break down Home Free is always a delight and joy. ❣🙏
In this, The Oak Ridge Boys were helping and mentoring Home Free. They also had greats like Kenny Rogers work with them too. And, Home Free has been paying it forward to newer groups helping to use some of their popularity to help them. For one of these, one of my favorites to listen to as been Dreamer featuring Texas Hill live at the Ryman. Texas Hill has 3 singers that have done well in the reality singing shows. Casey James was 3rd in season 9 of American Idol, Adam Wakefield was runner-up on Season 10 of The Voice, and Craig Wayne Boyd won season 7 of The Voice.
Love, love, LOVE your reaction on this one. I knew you would like it. So, so good......
I always look forward to your reactions. You were so cought up in it this time. Your excitemet when it is good makes your words come out very fast. The speed goes up! 😅😅😅
Love it! Makes me glad.
As said earlier - time for Brothers in arms. Their cover of Dire Straits song is so good.
Keep up your good work. I will be here watching you and follow you.
Haha thank you😁😁
the amount on talent in this clip is insane 2 generations getting together to have fun how can you not love it. (edit: the oak ridge boys tenor voice sounds so young tbh)
Home Free and VoicePlay have continued their friendship from their time on the SingOff. Geoff had a wonderful arrangement for Elvira and Layne had a part of the Butts Remix arrangement. Tim, Rob and Chris Rupp have all guested on VPs channel and Tim Foust has been on Layne's channel, Pattycake Productions too.
I would highly recommend American Pie, another collab with the original artist.
Yes American Pie where everyone are giving their best
And their colab with Kenny Rogers as well.
Don't forget the collaboration with Alabama
I never cared for the original American Pie but I do like the Home Free colab version.
Them all together is just the super group of super groups!!! Home Free did a Christmas special & had Jeffrey East & the Oak Ridge Boys singing "Beautiful star of Bethlehem" that is absolutely gorgeous! And they had Alabama on singing "Christmas in Dixie" that is just beautiful as well. This was very fun! 😉🥰🥰
The Oak Ridge Boys are legends in the country and gospel genres. They and the Statler Brothers were on our TV every Saturday night when I was younger.
This really gives me the sense of "Oak Ridge Boys Past" meeting "Home Free fellas future".
The ORB' bass, Richard Sterban, sang bass for Elvis Presley early in his career. Home Free definitely collaborated with true country legends on this song--and I LOVE this collaboration❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
Home Free did a breakfast show appearance, and one of the ORB - I want to say Duane, but I'm not sure, saw it, and contacted them to talk about working together, and this was the result. The groups get on so well together, and it's opened a lot of doors for HF that this well-respected group have chosen to work with them.
I just saw them live a week ago. They performed this and so many more. Second time I've watched them live. You have to go see them in person.
This was one of my favorite songs by the Oak Ridge Boys when I was a kid.....and this arrangement is even better. I love how they all get along so well and have fun. Thank you Jen for another entertaining/educational reaction.
I agree with you. I feel good during and after listening to them. Something special about them all together.
VERY happy you liked this, Jen. You got all of the Oaks' names right. The one with the grand beard is William Lee Golden. He is lead in several of the Oaks' hits including "Thank God For Kids". I sent a link to an excellent example of the Oaks in concert back in their heyday. The video and sound quality is surprisingly very good. It has two songs back-to-back and is 7 minutes long. It's a great amount of fun to watch you at your happiest fangirl moments.
Yes will watch! Thank you for guiding me here 😁😁
I love your reactions to Home Free!! I can see your emotions as you watch these and I feel the same way!! My day is always a little brighter with some Home Free!
Oak Ridge Boys have been performing together for years! They are amazing! 💕
Great (and fun) reaction and analysis as always. Another great collaboration in the country genre is their work with Kenny Rogers on the song, "Go Where I Send Thee." If I remember correctly, Kenny actually reached out to them. (It would be great to get your wish to sing with boys.)
I grew up with my mom playing The Oakridge Boys on 8-track (yes I'm old). They were my introduction to ground-shaking bass singers. Looking forward to seeing HF live with my kids tomorrow night :)
This is one of my Home Free all time fav for sure, their chemistry is unmatched! Love their rendition of 'Star Of Bethlehem' as well on their X-mas special from last year, you should def check it out! Oh and fun fact, don't know if you watched till the end but this was arranged by Geoff from Voiceplay! 🙌🙌
You'll have to react to Home Free and The Oak Ridge Boys collaboration on, Star of Bethlehem.
😁
Love your reaction to this one. Again....haha...I have to recommend Home Free's cover of "Brothers in Arms". It's amazing.
Home Free is ALWAYS the answer, no matter what the question is. This is such a fun video to watch. I've heard this group described as Home Free today plus Home Free in 30 years. I know they did at least one Christmas song together and have done some live sets in concert. They sound great together. And Adam is just nuts on this one.
Except if the question, for some peculiar reason, is "how can I feel less good"? :P
@@carinalindberg7377 Good one!
They do a Christmas song with the Oak Ridge Boys and Jeffrey East. Can't wait until Christmas because, of course, they have some great ones. Originals and covers.
Nice!!
I have been a big fan of the Oak Ridge Boys growing up and this song was always one of my favorites..adding Home Free to their vocals gives it a whole new life..especially with Adam's beatboxing talent! Love these guys!!
Hi Jen. I just resubscribed for your HF reactions. I really enjoyed your reaction to this collaboration between HF and The Oak Ridge Boys. Reactor I watched last week was less than thrilled by this effort. What a difference it makes when you love music, know music and can evaluate and enjoy a cover on it's own merits.So glad HF can still get you all excited like this.
I love that your eyes crossed at a few points during the song. Classic lol
I love both of these groups. I love how you can hear Joe's voice no matter who else is singing. I grew up listening to The Oak Ridge Boys and The Statler Brothers maybe that is why I am such a fan of HF. Joe, Richard, William, and Duane I hope to see those guys in Branson later this month. Maybe I can talk beard products with William. Great analysis. Who is your favorite tenor? I love these guys but I think Colm Wilkinson may be my favorite.
I'm with you. Stalers and The Oaks were what I always loved. Seen both numerous times.
@@DRHHUB They put on great shows. Alabama is another group that did great shows. I don't go to many concerts anymore. Too old and too busy. Oh and I am too poor to buy a ticket or pay attention.
Great reaction, Jen. I have never been sure how eight men plus a beatboxer can make so much sound. This and the associated BTS just express a joy, not just in singing but in singing well and singing with others. I have no idea what's going to be in the new season tour programme, but this was always a great hit with audiences and probably won't be abandoned.
Austin had the shirt with the ORB autographs framed and it hangs in his house to this day. He does look very young indeed in this one but was in fact about 28 or 29 at the time. There must be something in the water in Georgia to keep someone looking so young. We are anxiously awaiting the the release of his "Two Tenors" project with Rob. They won't even tell us what they're singing, but i'm sure you won't want to miss it!
About the Eurobash: still no dates at all but it will probably be in summer '23. Sian Pinnell, who's hosting and organising the Bash in Gloucester, has asked that you send her a Friend request on FB so she can invite you and keep you posted.
Hello! Yes, can’t wait for that project 😁 and amazing, I shall check!
You are not alone in having an acapella playlist! I have one that I listen to all the time. And it's mostly made up of Home Free, Voiceplay and Peter Hollens! 😁
The Oaks started as a gospel group. I was privileged to see (and hear, of course) them do an all-gospel New Year's Eve concert in the early 1970s.
This version of Elvira is a constant in my music listening…..If you loved this collab, also try Home Free & Kenny Rogers singing Children, Go Where I Send Thee
One of the greatest compliments a singer can get is to perform a classic song alongside the original artist! So far, HF's teamed up with The Oaks, Kenny Rogers, Alabama, and Don Mclean. There will be more. 🙂
And Lee Greenwood
@@marlenekloth4734 And Charlie Daniels Band(audio only)
Love that Home Free is doing all these collaborations with these OGs that inspired them in their infancies! Bringing back these Old Times Classic to the New Generation of Music Lovers is Beautiful!
Okay, I didn't realize this was posted recently. I'm excited since there aren't to many bigger names on RUclips doing home free anymore.
That facial expression at 15:42 when Tim dropped into the basement. 🤣🤣🤣
New subscriber here. I noticed that you have been smitten by the Home Free bug. A very good thing. Home Free has also been following you....... big shout out from Tim Foust and Rob Lundquist, so you know that you are doing great reactions.
Rob with the beard envy is one of the things I love about their videos. They like to interject some humor
So glad you finally got to this song but if you want to continue down the rabbit hole of Home Free singing with the original artist or the writer you've simply got to do American Pie with Don Mclean & also Children Go Where I Send Thee with Kenny Rogers. What better compliment could one artist give to another than to trust them with your music?
Oh Jen, what a treat to hear this great pairing ! The old kids on the block with the new kids on the block. The mutual love and respect was clearly evident. Another Home Free musical treat. This may be out of left field but I like it when you wear your glasses ! Just saying.
Jen, have you listened to " Children Go Where I Send Thee" with Kenny Roger's? This was epic!! Seen it about 1000 times, but never get tired of it!!!❤
Don't worry about it being unexpectedly emotional. It took me by surprise too. I went to school with Mr. Golden's sons (the one with the long beard). It was so cool to see them jointly perform this.
The Oak Ridge Boys are country music royalty!
Lovely Jen! This song was actually my introduction to Home Free, and seeing them perform a brand-new arrangement with the original artists was very special. Just like watching Pentatonix perform "Jolene" with Dolly Parton, this performance really helped cement the legitimacy of acapella music in the mainstream.
Definitely something special! Thank you😊
This is one of my favorites 😍 and my favorite of your reactions ❤️
😁😁
Jen, you are my favorite reactor to Home Free. With your background in musical theater and vocal training you stay down to earth and are not the least bit snobbish. Some look down on the country genre. Home Free clearly excels in other genres as well. Love your enjoyment of music.
Thank you so much!
Such a fantastic reaction! There's a lot of affection and respect between Home Free and the Oaks. And Austin has that shirt framed in his home. And yes, you should definitely check out Beautiful Star of Bethlehem. The Oaks and Jeffrey East joined Home Free as guests on their Christmas special, and on one verse Austin really lets his Gospel roots fly!
Seen this many times and just love it, as there is not only great harmony but love and respect from HF to their singing mentors.
Sorry Jen, the Oak Ridge boys did not write Elvira. It's written by man that lives in Nashville and it is named after a road road in Nashville.. Just figured you'd like to know , keep Singing.
Jen, congratulations! You are officially the "Queen of Acapella Reactions and Analysis"! I really enjoy your exuberance and emotion when bring us your best. I really encourage you to react and analyze Home Free's cover of American Pie FEATURING DON MCLEAN (the original writer and singer) that was dropped on the 50th anniversary of Don's album.
Not a bad title I must say😁 aha thank you!
@4:50 Your "Wooh!" just Made. My. Day! ❤ I adore both groups & this compilation is a Country Banger imo!
Watching Jen enjoy a song is one of the delights of my life. She lifts my mood for days afterward. Thank you, dear lady, thank you.
Addendum, one day & several watches later. I can't be sure (because of my senior citizen memory, and because I don't want to review all of Jen's reactions), but I believe that Jen enjoyed this performance as much as any that I have seen. Damn, Jen's enthusiasm is contagious. And I, for one, am humbly and deeply grateful.
My wife and i just saw Home Free in Anaheim CA. on the 13th to kick off their Road Sweet Road Tour and they did this song first. We were lucky enough to be front row center stage (about 8-10 feet from the guys) and their sound is nearly as good live as it is on a studio mix (some parts were even better than studio). Im not sure which was my favorite part of this song, either Tim dropping the bass on the "mow mow" which actually shook the floor, or Adams percussion which also shook the floor and our bodies. The entire show was incredible and they actually ran a bit over on time because it was supposed to be a 90 minute show which turned into just over 2 hours. Side note for the Adam lovers out there, he has changed up his "drum solo" to include looping, along with the other stuff in the video on YT.
This song and video gave me the impression of kids with their parents. Both supportive and competitive. 'Look what I can do!' 'Yeah but can you do this?' 'Sure, but I can do it better!' 'Well done son!'
Terrific reaction and analysis. Another great one is Home Free's cover of "May Day". AMAZING- lots to unpack, and some excellent surprises as well.
Thank you for a great reaction. What I love about this song is that I saw an old interview over 10 years ago where Tim Foust said this was his dream to collaborate with the ORB. So to watch his face during this knowing his dream came true... AWESOME! I will finally get to see them live in Dec. I hope you get to see them in Europe soon.
Oh that’s lovely!!
Did you notice the autographs on Austin's t-shirt & Rob's beard competition(2:25)? The playfulness is definitely a star in this video.
This may be, no I think this is, your greatest reaction. Hey, we love them all . That’s why we support you on Patreon. But this one was special and I’ll be adding it to my RUclips playlist consisting of your greatest hits that I watch over and over.
Aw thank you!!
OMG, your reaction (as always) was absolutely entertaining. You get so excited and start hitting the piano and stuttering and singing, it fabulous. And you facial reactions and big beautiful eyes just make me enjoy watching. But most of all, the knowledge you give explaining what they're doing and how they do their magik, gives me the ability to truly understand what I'm hearing, and and takes the enjoyment to a higher level. 💕 from a non musically educated FAN!
Thank you so much 😁
Loved this one, Jen.
I've been waiting (im)patiently for you to react to this. 😁
Terrific review as you took us through all the great vocals and surprises! Thankn you for sharing your expertise!
Thank you 😁
How fun! I had ORB cassettes as a teen and loved this song.
Now that you've heard HF perform Geoff's arrangement, you need to hear Geoff perform it. VoicePlay only did it live (there is rumored to be a Patreon-only studio version) but there are several versions on YT. I think it was their finale song. The interplay between Geoff and Earl is funny and the ending is jaw-dropping awesome.
this was great. in my opion the best group& the best reaction lady. i always look forward to your reactions. your love & pasion for music always comes out. thank you!!!!!
Ah thank you!
As always loved the reaction thank you 🤗
Sorry I did not react to your reaction yesterday, arthritis raised its ugly head, and the meds would have made my words crazy. As always you did great and I loved your exuberant reaction. FUN FACT: Richard Sterban , was one of the backup singers for ELVIS. I still sing along on this song in the car.
Just liked and subbed you are entertaining and packed full of insight I have learned all about my favorite singers through you thanks a bunch
Oh... Jen's head is gonna explode when she starts looking for Oak Ridge Boy songs..js.. O Gs!😎
The Oak Ridge Boys was the most popular version of this song, but it was originally written and performed by Dallas Frazier in 1966.
Great fun! Great reaction, Jen!
Loved this review. You are so cute! Especially when you are excited about the music and vocals and Home Free is definitely exciting! Really enjoyed this. 🙂
Growing up the Oak Ridge Boys were just freaking amazing to me. Now I get the Accapella greatness of Home Free and the Oak Ridge Boys. Chef's Kiss!!!
I love watching you react to Home Free!! You crack me up and make me notice things i naturally take for granted from these guys. Thank you so much for continuing the Home Free reactions.
I love your reactions to the extreme quality that is Home Free. Love it! You are definitely a Home Fry!
Ahah yay! Thank you 😊
Love your reactions Jen!
I love your reactions!
Jen, love Home Free and Oak Ridge Boys together..So nice to see them enjoy each other and their talents..One of my favorites!! Thanks
This song was huge back in 81. I remember it well back in the day. I think it's great that HF honored them with making sure they got the lead parts and hung back a bit to highlight their song.
Thanks for all of my favorite Home Free..God Bless..Love Chris
Jenn! I love your explanations 1 you make my day
Two of their covers that I feels are criminally underrated are there covers of 'Think A Little Less' and 'Die A Happy Man.' Both feature Chance pretty heavily which you haven't seem a ton of.
I love this one but Beautiful Star of Bethlehem brings me to tears. You’ll want to add that one to your playlist too!
Jen, Tim said that he wanted to be Richard Stuban, and then to get to sing was amazing. The Oak Ridge Boy's really became their mentors after this. They have done quite a lot with them since. They actually did the Christmas Special with them. The tenor of the Oak Ridge Boy's Joe Bonzel give Austin a lot of grief for how high he sings. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.
Oakridge Boys have a special place in my heart. They dedicated their time to Michigan Special Olympics 1 year. Very special to me. The bass line literally vibrated the metal bleachers!! So amazing! And, my buddy Austin (he doesn't know he's my buddy...lol) started his career on cruise ships, where Home Free found him...thankfully! That's where I saw him & knew he would be somebody!
