Dont worry about it many reactors mix up Tim , Geoff and Avi but we know you love them all and in fact Geoff helped HF with this arrangement they are great friends
It's actually funny because Geoff did the arrangement for this (look in the credits or watch the outro). My mom is a country music fan so I grew up with her playing the Oakridge Boys in the car. This song was my introduction to bass singers who make you ask "how?!?!".
@@marshayoung9387 The "older twin" you are talking about is Richard Sterban and he sang along with JD Sumner and the Stamps Quartet as backup for Elvis. Richard has a book out called From Elvis to Elvira. All the Oaks are friends of our family. Richard has some interesting stories to tell while he was on the road with Elvis.
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
There is a behind the scenes video on VoicePlay's channel of VP and Home Free on tour together. Home Free have remained friends with VoicePlay. Geoff did the arrangement for this video and many don't realize that Layne and the Rupp brothers did the arrangement for the Butt Remix. Also Tim, Rob and Chris Rupp have all guested in VoicePlay videos.
This really gives me the sense of "Oak Ridge Boys Past" meeting "Home Free fellas future". The ORB's 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❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
They also worked with The Oak Rodge Boys and Jeffrey East in a Christmas special. They sang O, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem. They also collaborated with Kenny Rogers in 2016 on Children, Go Where I Send Thee - it’s fabulous!
The last two concerts I have attended were the Oak Ridge Boys in Toledo and Home Free in Dubuque, IA. Both were phenomenal. The Oaks are what Home Free wants to be.
I got to see the Oak Ridge boys in concert in the early 1980’s. Check out the Oak Ridge Boys singing Seven Nations Army. It is awesome. Wonderful reaction young lady!
Awesome reaction. This is one of the first covers by Home Free that I saw when it was first released and it hooked me. I always loved the Oaks original of it but hearing them do it with Home Free turned me into a Home Fry from that day on. Thanks for a great reaction. Oh and I just subscribed to your channel, now to check out some of your other reactions.
You do realize the " Oak Ridge Boys " are the original artists. The bass singer Richard Serban (79) has sung back up for Elvis Presley. It's always fun when two bass singers get together. It turns into low range competition.
actually the Oaks version is a cover. The song was written and recorded by Dallas Frazier in 1966. And released as a single off the album of the same name. A minor hit for him, but then the Oaks got ahold of it in 1981 and never looked back after that.
@@DiamondRioFan1 Thanks for the info. This version Home Free covered. I should have said the "Oak Ridge Boys " version. Theor are thousands of songs that are popular now, but had origins way back.
I think that Richard Sterban is singing well for a man who will be eighty in April. William Lee Golden, the man with the full beard is eighty-four. . I believe that they are still singing very well.
Chris Rupp said Austin had that shirt from a concert he went to as a kid and that they had their wives, girlfriends and crew join in on the big Elvira's to add more volume!
I just learned I could sing this week. I can match the same tone of EVERY singer in man of sorrow except Tim’s deepest note. Just tried this song and mail Tim’s solo in the beginning and his deep parts in this song except the deepest note. It’s been so fun singing this week I am about to lose my voice, LOOK OUT TIM! As my voice is going it’s getting deeper I’m going to hit that note! I’m so excited I just got tickets to see them this April in Florida!
i was a college choir bass when this came out....ALL basses wore this out and destroyed the cheap speakers in their clapped out cars .......homefree did paired with the Air force band and Lee Greenwood (he's got to be 75) and sang God Bless the USA ....KILLER
Although Geoff was not singing here (I know you mixed Tim and him up lol), he was involved by doing the arrangement for this! If you liked this you should react to HF + Oak Ridge Boys' "Star Of Bethlehem" sometime!
If you haven't heard/seen it, Home Free also collaborated with Don McLean to do American Pie for its 50 year anniversary. It's awesome and I highly suggest that you do a reaction to it.
Home Free and the Oaks are close. They all did a Christmas song too live with Jeffrey East…Star of Bethlehem. It’s good too. Yeah Tim and Richard Sterban (bass) can really go low.
The level of excitement among the HomeFree guys is understandable when you consider they grew up listening to the Oak Ridge Boys on the radio. The hero worship in Austin's eyes says it all.
OMG OMG OMG 4:10 you make a comment "imagine them all in a bar and they just break out singing" -- lets take that one step further -- imagine this combined group (or just home free, or pentatonix, or [GASP][ both ?!) doing a flash mob somewhere. Oh the insanity, and awsomeness.
If you have not seen it try Two COUNTRY Singers try singing OPERA - "Nessun Dorma" - Austin Brown and @TheRobLundquist. It's on Austin Brown's channel.
Well -- Yeah! We might forgive ya, not sure -- Tim is Tim, Timothy, & Timmy ........... OK .. and well, ya honestly can't (or shouldn't) leave Geoff out of this really --- believe this was his arrangement!!!! Be Safe
My mom was a huge fan of the Oak Ridge Boys and she would have loved this but she is no longer with us but side note we were stationed at F.E.Warreen AFB in Cheyenne Wyoming and once a year they had rodeo days where all the stars would stay at the hotel my mom managed so Her panty dropping crush was Conway Twitty and ahe made me go with her cause he was laying out by the pool and my mom said Mr. Twiggy I dont mean to bother you but could I get a autograph and he said in his panty dropping voice no problem darling and I witnessed my mom turn into a teenager right before my eyes it was awesome and the next night my dad was a fan of George Jones my dad used me cause we were so close to the stage he invited my dad and me out to dinner which I think was code for lets get drunk cause while I was enjoying the hell out of my Filet Mignon they were getting more and more drunk and funny and when we got home my mom wasnt even mad cause ahe got her Conway fix but my mom played her Oak ridge Boys albulm andany others and when my kids and I went up to visit when they were younger they put System of the Down CD in and the look on her face was priceless so I put it on B.Y.O.B. cause I thought the calming part would be more soothing and nope SBE wasnt having it but I dig your channel and you rock😍🤙
OK you ask for it. Home Free WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN, AND HOW GREAT THOU ART. next you should react to voice Play and Geoff Castoluchi in OOGIE BOOGIE MAN.
Home free are amazing they are my favorite accapella group their harmonies are out of this world... Have you ever done a reaction to Adam's drum solo If you haven't can you react to this one Here's the video ruclips.net/video/mEH51laIfPs/видео.html
I accidentally called Tim Geoff haha my bad! I had just reacted to a Geoff Castellucci so my brain switched them! Love Tim! ❤
Dont worry about it many reactors mix up Tim , Geoff and Avi but we know you love them all and in fact Geoff helped HF with this arrangement they are great friends
That's what you get, for waisting your time with those other Acapella groups. Home Free is the best 😌
You should check out Voiceplay’s live version of “Elvira” ruclips.net/video/sYlzZUwpd-0/видео.html

for your insolence you should watch bass battle..its kinda fun..lol
Tim’s “older twin”, sang bass in Elvis’ band. He’s been a hero of Tim’s for years, so he was especially excited by this colab.
Tim doesn't have an older twin. It was the older guy from the Oakridge Boys that has a twin who sang with Elvis.
@@marshayoung9387 The "older twin" you are talking about is Richard Sterban and he sang along with JD Sumner and the Stamps Quartet as backup for Elvis. Richard has a book out called From Elvis to Elvira. All the Oaks are friends of our family.

Adam Rupp’s live vocals from beatboxing to high tenor are the craziest vocals I have ever heard. His range is phenomenal! 🔥
When I first heard this I was blown away. Their voices blend so well. You can tell they all had a blast doing this song.
this is one of their OLD videos.....they always sound amazing !!! Especially their newer stuff
Such an old video that Austin wasn't shaving yet... /s
This really gives me the sense of "Oak Ridge Boys Past" meeting "Home Free fellas future".
The ORB's 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❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
That was Geoff & Voice Play & Tim that did the arrangements for this. But I love them both equally, but for two different reasons.
That's Tim Foust doing Bass, Geoff is the bass with Voiceplay 😊
It's a great collaboration isn't it 😀
Haha I totally mixed them up since I just did a Geoff reaction! My bad
Say thank you to the arrangers of this song Tim Foust, Geoff Castellucci, and VoicePlay.
Home Free sings this on most of their live shows. It's great. Great reaction.
The Oak Ridge Boy's bass sang backup for ELVIS!!
They also worked with The Oak Rodge Boys and Jeffrey East in a Christmas special. They sang O, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem. They also collaborated with Kenny Rogers in 2016 on Children, Go Where I Send Thee - it’s fabulous!
This is an awesome collaboration! They complement each other so well. Love your reaction!
Thank you so much!!
A couple more "must listen" Home Free songs are "End of the Road", "How Great Thou Art", "When a Man Loves a Woman", and "Brothers in Arms".
I like the two bass solos. The first where the older guy is showing off, then Tim's, where he shows off his stuff.
Ummm..the "older guy" is Richard Sterban who has been with the Oaks forever but before that he was with Elvis as his bass.
The last two concerts I have attended were the Oak Ridge Boys in Toledo and Home Free in Dubuque, IA. Both were phenomenal. The Oaks are what Home Free wants to be.
Love when they sing with the Oakridge Boys. It's fantastic ❤️
The Oakridge Boys are HOME FREE in 30 years lol.. Seriously, The Oaks made the song Elvira famous and took HOME FREE under their wings.
This song is so good, loved the reaction 🔥🎉
I got to see the Oak Ridge boys in concert in the early 1980’s. Check out the Oak Ridge Boys singing Seven Nations Army. It is awesome. Wonderful reaction young lady!

The did another song together, 'Beautiful Start of Bethlehem', you might enjoy it.

@@garyblair3033 But it's not the Oakridge Boys version. It is a cover arranged by Geoff Castallucci & Voice Play & Tim.
@@marshayoung9387 it is reworked from their version (which is a cover).
I think that Richard Sterban is singing well for a man who will be eighty in April. William Lee Golden, the man with the full beard is eighty-four. . I believe that they are still singing very well.
So good. Talent level is unreal
The cool thing is that all of these classic groups approach Home Free to collaborate
Not sure if it can be a cover when the group that originated the song is singing it with Home Free!. :)
Dallas Frazier released the song as a single first (1966) then the Oaks covered it in 1981. So I guess this still qualifies as a cover. :)
Chris Rupp said Austin had that shirt from a concert he went to as a kid and that they had their wives, girlfriends and crew join in on the big Elvira's to add more volume!

Yeah...Geoff if from VoicePlay....That's Tim Foust for Home Free and Richard Sturbin for the Oaks.
Although Geoff was not singing here (I know you mixed Tim and him up lol), he was involved by doing the arrangement for this! If you liked this you should react to HF + Oak Ridge Boys' "Star Of Bethlehem" sometime!

Austin framed that t-shirt and has it on his wall.
home free Mayday is one you should check out if you havnt already.
You should hear Aint going down till the sun comes up
Geoff Castallucci & Voice Play & Tim who made this arrangement for Home Free.
Glad you liked it.
Elvis's original bass singer was j.d Sumner & he once held the guineas record for lowest/ deepest voice
The level of excitement among the HomeFree guys is understandable when you consider they grew up listening to the Oak Ridge Boys on the radio. The hero worship in Austin's eyes says it all.

I love your videos and your reactions. Very awesome job.
reaction request : my first encounter with home free, and one of my favorites -- Any way the wind blows.
Tim, Austin and others perform 'My Maria'
Loving your reactions. Christiansburg Virginia
That Andy Grammar song and video is amazing. Fun ground hog day vibe.
Well -- Yeah! We might forgive ya, not sure -- Tim is Tim, Timothy, & Timmy ........... OK .. and well, ya honestly can't (or shouldn't) leave Geoff out of this really --- believe this was his arrangement!!!! Be Safe
If you haven't already, check out their version of Johnny Cash's 'Folsom Prison Blues'.
LMAO at you calling him Geoff! Funniest thing all day!
What's even funnier is your comment Tim doesn't feel that way. He & Geoff have the utmost respect for each other !
@@marshayoung9387 I wasn't implying that Tim felt any kind of way. I just thought it was funny.
Nobody like Home Free !!
Bout time you reacted to some GOOD music!

Why are you calling Tim "Jeff"?
Not Geoff. That is Timmy!
Have you seen their version of Delta Dawn yet?

Gotcha thanks!!

Who’s Jeff?
It's Geoff ( Jeff ) from Voice Play & they did the arrangement for Home Free.
Who is Jeff?
Haha did I say Jeff? Totally meant Tim!
Geoff arranged this version
Why are your videos showing in flip/reverse view? Please fix it soon it very distracting to see it like this.
Listen to Butts remix
My volume was all the way up and I could barely hear you.
🤬 HIS NAME IS TIM. TIM FOUST!!!!!! Jeff IS NOT HOME FREE!!! 😡😡😡😡👎👎👎👎
