This particular video was done during Covid lock down which is why the different height measurements. These guys love to joke around with us. Excellent reaction. Thanks!
Home Free started in 2000 and was the vision of Chris Rupp, so he and Adam started the group and have been performing professionally since early 2000s. They won season 4 of The Sing Off and have only had one member change since then. Chris left in 2016 and was replaced by Adam Chance (Chance). Adam learned drumming so he could be more authentic. The a cappella world changed with the beatboxing... Voice Play is great; they're very theatrical. Pentatonix also won the season before and has a much more pop flavor. If you want to work on your bass, which you do quite well, Tim says you work on the high notes along with the low ones to improve your bass. I think he has a class out there somewhere. Love your reactions... can't go wrong with Home Free. There's a video called 9 to 5 Breakdown which is awesome...they all beatbox...not the official video, but the concert performance.
Tim doesn't go to the basement more than a lot of Bass singers...so when he goes low it's the exact right place and he always has vibrato! He's awesome as well as the other guys! I just love HF! ❤
I love this! One of my favorites. This was during Covid so they weren’t even together and yeah the heights are all messed up. Rob isn’t 6’8” but 6’4”. The others are between 6’1 1/2” to 6’3”. Yes, I thought a lot of the sounds were train related, like the train whistle, wheels, smoke puff sounds?? It’s so clever. Yeah Tim can go really low. We think Tim did the crime, Adam (beatboxer) belongs in the insane asylum and the others are accomplices. Haha. Yes, you definitely have a bass voice, so does Tim. He says to practice your higher ranges to get lower. At least that’s what I heard. He’s helped Geoff of VoicePlay and Avi Kaplan formerly of Pentatonix go lower. Good reaction Anthony!🥰
First off, I love your accent. I just found your channel, and I'm so pleased you're reacting to Home Free, they're so talented. But what I'm liking most about your channel is how clear the sound is. I can hear the beatboxing just as well as if I were wearing headphones, and that's impressive. Now I'll have to listen to some of your other reactions. Keep on rocking
This was done during quarantine and they had to put up their own backdrops in their homes and they do have a sense of humor. They all range in height from about 6'2" to 6'4" tall Austin ( High tenor) is the shortest and Rob (Beard and glasses) the tallest.
Thanks for this great reaction! Tim (the low bass) uses a technique called a vocal fry (I think) to hit his low low notes. His talent really shines in his control, accuracy and ability to sustain those notes. He has a 5+ octave range as a result of years of practice and a lot of work.
Loved the reaction and insight! Home Free-"LISTEN TO THE MUSIC" is another favorite.. if you like beatboxing.. gotta watch it to understand! FYI: Home Free has been doing this for 20yrs! You seem pretty talented yourself.. time waits for nobody.. make it HAPPEN! peace
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.
@@dagmar.6954 it just felt like I was overhearing two pros talk about work. And that was a good thing. It’s kind of what I like about Anthony’s reactions. He shares his experience and the reasons for his preferences.
Hay AR, good start to my day...The beatboxer, he looks like a crim😆This a capella is genius, the setting, the simplicity of each individual show casing their vocal ability, the song choice, I love it. Johnny Cash was one of my dads favs, but dad had an operatic-flavored voice, huh! I know, but they could sang. It's funny these guys can train you, your bass is already crazy, but I've heard snippets of other exceptional vocals there. Just being real. Anyway enjoy the journey and your day...Bless 👍☝️🖼☝️🎇🤓
Wow, this was a fabulous reaction. When I saw the length of it, I knew you had to be thoroughly impressed by our boys. Us Home Fries take great pleasure in seeing new people fall in love with @Home Free. They are truly remarkable.
If you feel like you need some voice lessons, go for it, because you have a very wonderful bass voice. Would love to hear you sing. Tim can teach you how to control those really low notes with vocal quality! Home Free is my favorite of the groups that have made a cappella so new and great over the last decade. They are all fabulous, but I find the diversity and virtuosity of this group addictive, and they are all genuine, generous, and ready for some humor. They are probably already aware of your channel, because they pay attention to their fans and followers.
Doing some layering like Peter Hollens and Jared Hayley. With the Bass and Beatboxing skills.... This would be wicked. What do you think.... Is Acapella rap a thing?
@@minneyruth I know that Tim Foust gave pointers to Avi Kaplan (formerly of Pentatonix). I don't know about Tim actually teaching techniques to anybody, I never heard that before. But I do know that VoicePlay's Geoff Castellucci has videos on how to sing low bass on his personal channel. :)
I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS TO HOME FREE, I'M ALWAYS CHECKING TO SEE IF YOU REACTED TO ANOTHER HOME FREE YET AND HERE YOU ARE!! CHECK OUT 'LISTEN TO THE MUSIC IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, ADAM REALLY SHINES IN THAT ONE😄
Great Reaction! The height chart was them being silly Tim ,Chance,Austin and Adam are all 6’2 Rob is 6’4, They also did another. Chance( Leo look alike ) did a cover of Hurt with The Hound & Fox and Wayfaring Stranger
I am really enjoying your reactions to Home Free. I love the videos that are out there where Tim Foust (the bass singer) actually has blown subwoofers during live performances. They are fabulous!
I'm really enjoying your reactions! I love it when you react to Home Free because you have more of an understanding of what Adam (beat boxer) does, and it's great when you stop to figure out how he did something specific.
Got it! I think he looks like Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber) too. He's trimmed the muttonchops down a bit, no not so much now. Although I'd still love to see him sport some fangs once in a while. Tim's bass is literally earth shaking. I went to Tahoe to see them last weekend. When he hit that low low bass into the mic the whole building trembles. You can feel it in your chest. And they're all sweethearts, really nice guys.
I just now noticed I made that mistake again. I didn't got to Tahoe. The show was in Stateline, NV, and it was wonderful! I got to meet Chance's wife Sami and that was the highlight of a night of a very enjoyable show. Going to see them in Omaha in December for their Home Free For the Holidays Tour. Gonna get a whole new line of merchandise. Maybe I'll be able to buy another four t-shirts from Sami.
They’ve done a great one (but, you’ll have to get it off their Facebook page)..”IT AIN’T GOIN DOWN TILL THE SUN COMES UP”…..it’s a Garth Brooks cover…..you’ll Love it ‼️👍‼️❤️
Watch ‘Between a rock and a heartache’ for more of Tim’s subwoofer mode, great singing, and a fun video. It’s almost like a sequel to’Honey I’m good’ with a twist. Watch Honey first, then Between. Brother is another fun video.
Austin's wailing cry is supposed to sound like a steam train whistle. Have you seen Ring of Fire? It features Avi Kaplan of early Pentatonix fame. He is another great bass singer you might enjoy.
On January 13th, 1968, Johnny Cash made history by recording a live album inside of California’s Folsom State Prison. The album, "At Folsom Prison" revitalized Cash’s career. But why did Cash decide to play two live shows at Folsom Prison? The song that started the prison obsession for Cash was his own “Folsom Prison Blues.” Written in 1953 while serving in Germany with the US Air Force, it was inspired by the 1951 film, 'Inside the Walls of Folsom Prison'. 2 years later, Cash recorded the song for the Sun Records label in Memphis. It became one of Cash’s signature songs, and had one of the most iconic lines in country music history; “But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.” (Cash stated in an interview that he tried to think of the craziest thing to put in the song came up with the line). 'At Folsom Prison' was released in May, 1968. The single, “Folsom Prison Blues,” hit the Billboard Hot 100 on May 25th, and the Billboard Country Charts a week later. It was re-released & an instant success peaking at #1 on the country charts, breaking into the mainstream Top 40. The album followed suit, hitting number #1 the Top Country charts & #13 on the Pop Album Charts. It was certified gold in October. 'At Folsom Prison' won 2 GRAMMY awards for Cash. His 2nd and 3rd respectively. Also won for Best Album Notes (documented by LA Times writer Robert Hilburn, and photographer Jim Marshall), along with Best Country Vocal Performance, Male for 'Folsom Prison Blues.' 'At Folsom Prison' has been acknowledged by Rolling Stone, Blender, Time, and Country Music Television as one of the greatest albums of all time. After achieving triple platinum status from the RIAA in 2003, the Library of Congress chose it for addition to the National Recording Registry. It would seem to all who heard it, that Johnny Cash’s decision to record live at Folsom Prison had paid off. Regarding Home Free's video: This was either the first collaboration or one of the first done remotely due to Covid as they live in different states (Tim & Austin Nashville; Adam Rupp & Robb Lunquist Minnesota; Adam Chance Los Angeles). They did their own individual video/doing the lighting/makeup/lip syncing & sent them in to get masterfully done to become the joint video. Notice if hadn't: - Height Chart The height charts, are all over the place & changing throughout. (Are any of them really 4'6" or 6'8"?) -Appearances Rob & Austin seemed to be in for a 'misdemeanor' crime as they're dancing & seem relaxed Tim & Chance seem to be doing serious time? Seem more serious less movement Rupp seems crazy - Jumpsuits Some loose, others tight (Adam's looks like it's a onesie for a baby) - Tim AND Chance BOTH sound a lot like Johnny Cash in this video - Tim Makeup & (he stopped dying his hair) gave a drastic look to give ghoulish hollowed evil look Additionally, think one of first videos & started keeping hair natural ---Low Note wicked Tim hits the last low note, he has a devilish grin while doing it - Rupp (beat boxer) He was acting like a crazy man throughout (walking all over the cell while everyone else is staying in place) *Percussion IT'S NOT STANDARD PERCUSSION THROUGHOUT! YOU'LL HEAR IT if go back & listen - There's a sound of Adam prepping a shotgun! (Will see him cocking it if looked at it, not realizing he's making the legit noise) - He's NOT doing high hat rims, it's the actual sounds of a train riding on railroad tracks plus periodically the clinking noise going over the metal connectors listen to this, then replay the song you'll hear it!: ruclips.net/video/aeuLArBAiFI/видео.html -WHY trains? They're purposely using the sounds as Johnny Cash was known for 'prison/railroad songs' Railroad songs? Cash stated when growing up heard the trains in the distance daydreamed ability to go wherever to follow dreams. Same reasoning those in prison could hear the train & think could take them away. Hence railroad songs.
-Arrangement Only Tim & Chance are sounding country doing the melody. The rest are doing more of a jazz style arrangement. The tenor duo is the one putting a modern response twist as well as using jazz chords.
LOL, everyone mentions that heights. They are between 6'1 (and a bit) and 6'4. The shortest being Austin (redheaded high tenor) and tallest being Rob (Tenor/The Beard). You nailed the lyrics for God`s Gonna Cut You Down. Great reaction! You bring a whole new perspective and it's awesome.
The last segment with Tim Foust, he hits an E1 there. He can do just about anything. I think that you would like some of his solo stuff, were he goes High, too. Just my suggestion. Great Post.
You have a great quality/tambour/timbre to your voice. I'd like to hear you sing any Johnny Cash song. It would suit your range. Love your reactions, by the way. I'm always looking to see if there are any more Home Free songs that you've reacted to. Keep them coming and thank you! Edited to add: They are all about the same height, 6' or over. They were just trying to be funny/ironic, I think.
Another great Home Free reaction! You are discovering by now that Home Free never disappoints! The rabbit hole is deep and diverse, please keep going! Some suggestions: One Man Band One Voice feat. Billy Gilman The Gambler Givin' Up, Givin' Up on You feat. Texas Hill (original) Road Sweet Road (original) Delta Dawn feat. Brooke Eden
I love Home Free and your reaction was fantastic. They are impressive. But just so that you know...the clickety-clack that a train makes is when the wheels hit the spaces between the rails when they are laid end to end. They can't be connected literally...so yeah, clickety-clack, clickety-clack. Time to go for a train ride!!! lol
I live in a small Railroad town. Many generations of males in my family worked the railroad until they finally shut down to only a few employees a few yrs ago. It was great income for the small community. Anthony if you like look up the story about an elephant called Mary. Its the history of the town i grew up and live in.
They are all around 6' 3" - 6' 5" in height. The heights in the backgrounds were just for a good laugh. They had fun taking this song and making it their own. I loved it form Johny Cash. i think I love it even more from them. This song is FIRE!!! I would have to agree Chance would fit in as a third brother easily to wolverine.
I am so glad you like Home Free as much as I do! I really like Johnny Cash too, especially The Man in Black. Loved watching this with you! Geoff Castellucci does have low bass tutorials on his RUclips channel.
Have you ever heard Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue"? It's one of his few funny songs. Folsom Prison Blues is another in the 'quarantine' series. You have a really good voice - you should be singing yourself! Thanks for playing this one & your comments. Have you seen HFs version of "When a Man Loves a Woman" or the duet with Austin & Rob singing "Nessun Dorma"?
If you want to hear some more of Tim s deep, deep rumbling voice, you must listen to him and Peter Hollins do " Misty Mountain" and pay close attention to the very last note of the song and watch your screen and what Tim does to it. ALSO check out some of Pentatonix music. They are AWESOME too. Another a cappella group that completely changed the genre and the music world. Check out " Daft Punk" "Carol of the Bells" " Imagine" and anything else you can get to because you will NOT be disappointed with ANYTHING from Pentatonix or Home Free.
Tim Foust (HF) and Geoff Castellucci (VP) are both incredible basses. Both are naturally gifted with the physical attributes that lead to bass notes (something about the thickness and length of the vocal cords), but both have also worked hard to enhance and develop their range, both high and low. Geoff has a couple of videos on RUclips about how to sing low notes.
You noticed that the rhythm replicates the sound of a train rolling down the tracks....the high sung pitches could be a "Train Whistle".... I do consider Adam more of a vocal percussionist because of his amazing replication of drumming what an actual drummer would do. He can, of course, do beatboxing style effects.
As I understand it, Adam took drum lessons to help him better understand how a drummer would compose his parts. He studied trumpet in college, so he has an actual music degree.
🔥🔥 .. thank you Jamie Mitchel ... .. fire fire fire .. I was hoping you would get to this one Anthony . These guys in a class of their own. Sooooo good .. so so so so good ! 🔥🔥
And Austin is that high lonesome whistle of the train. 😊And you should definitely SING! What a great bass you have!!!!!!❤Tim has vids I believe where he does a little bass coaching. 😊
Your reactions are awesome. It’s quite obvious to me that you simply just LOVE music all together, it doesn’t matter to you what the type/style, whatever. You just love music. So cool bro.
LOL. They didn't all pay attention to where the height was in comparison to the markings on the "sheet" or whatever they were using. I've seen them live. They're all over 6 feet tall but probably not more than 6'5"ish? Great bass from you as well, btw. A great extended low low bass note from Tim occurs as the final note in their cover of "Ring of Fire" with Avi Kaplan. Their first experience with 2 basses, which makes for an easier bass sub when Tim takes lead which, as you know, he does quite often. I like to think it influenced them a little when they were replacing their baritone into choosing a former bass in Adam Chance.
If you want low bass singing lessons, Geoff Castelluci has a couple of videos on his channel where he talks about how he trained his voice to go lower. Good luck with it!
they are all about 6'2". one of them once announced his height, and when you watch them on stage, you can see that they line up pretty well. it's actually very effective as a device for wowing the audience. when they all step forward, there's no one shorter or taller to ruin the effect. thanks for the great reaction.
The next step in your Home Free journey should be to listen to one of their amazing collaborations. I suggest your listen to American Pie. Don McLean the author specifically choose Home Free to record the 50th anniversary version of his famous 70's classic. It will bring a mile wide smile to your face. The vocal arrangements are mind blowing. At the other end of the spectrum One Voice with Billy Gilman is one of the most emotional and saddest songs I have ever heard.
You absolutely have to listen to there sing off version vs newer version they did of Johny Cash's Ring of fire. Epic. Tims low base did what some called a soic sub-woofer black out. In the newer version with guest singer Avi Kaplin (former Pentatonix) Avi tips his hat to Tims low notes. G1 is a bottom note for sure. Blow your sound system stuff.
Tim: killed a man in Reno
Chance: mafia hit man
Austin: fleecing little old ladies
Rob: was framed
Adam: waiting to be transferred to the psych ward!
😅
😂😅
Lol!
Adam looks like he’s banging on rubber walls
This made me literally laugh out loud! 🤣
This particular video was done during Covid lock down which is why the different height measurements. These guys love to joke around with us. Excellent reaction. Thanks!
need to listen to aint goin down till the sun comes up
Home Free started in 2000 and was the vision of Chris Rupp, so he and Adam started the group and have been performing professionally since early 2000s. They won season 4 of The Sing Off and have only had one member change since then. Chris left in 2016 and was replaced by Adam Chance (Chance). Adam learned drumming so he could be more authentic.

All the guys similar in height. Between 6ft 2 in and 6ft 4in. The big guy with beard the tallest. His name is Rob.
When they perform this live in concert, they mash it up with Man Of Constant Sorrow. It is the coolest thing ever!
Tim doesn't go to the basement more than a lot of Bass singers...so when he goes low it's the exact right place and he always has vibrato! He's awesome as well as the other guys! I just love HF! ❤
You catch things other reactors don't or at least, if they do, they don't talk about. Respect.
Thanks for the request, Jamie. 👏
I love this! One of my favorites. This was during Covid so they weren’t even together and yeah the heights are all messed up. Rob isn’t 6’8” but 6’4”. The others are between 6’1 1/2” to 6’3”. Yes, I thought a lot of the sounds were train related, like the train whistle, wheels, smoke puff sounds?? It’s so clever. Yeah Tim can go really low.

To add to the previous commenters... SO FUN in concert. The on-stage banter is almost as fun as the singing!
The Height charts are an example of Home Free's goofing on us lol
They are touring in Europe in September, seeing them live is an amazing experience. I think you would appreciate the experience.
Yes! I am so excited about that, I am goung to see them I Stockholm! 😀💃
In this video, Adam reminds me of the late actor Burt Lancaster
Austin’s high wailing in this I believe is the sound of the train whistle moaning in the distance......
This was done during quarantine and they had to put up their own backdrops in their homes and they do have a sense of humor. They all range in height from about 6'2" to 6'4" tall Austin ( High tenor) is the shortest and Rob (Beard and glasses) the tallest.
Thanks for this great reaction! Tim (the low bass) uses a technique called a vocal fry (I think) to hit his low low notes. His talent really shines in his control, accuracy and ability to sustain those notes. He has a 5+ octave range as a result of years of practice and a lot of work.

Home Free-"LISTEN TO THE MUSIC" is another favorite.. if you like beatboxing.. gotta watch it to understand!
FYI: Home Free has been doing this for 20yrs! You seem pretty talented yourself.. time waits for nobody.. make it HAPPEN!
peace
🤣 I'm running it back because I can! Love your reactions to Home Free!!! ❤
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.

Wish Johnny could have heard this one.
The talent that is HF is incredible. Tim, Austin, Chance, Rob and award winning beatboxer, Adam!!

Regarding Home Free's video:
This was either the first collaboration or one of the first done remotely due to Covid as they live in different states (Tim & Austin Nashville; Adam Rupp & Robb Lunquist Minnesota; Adam Chance Los Angeles). They did their own individual video/doing the lighting/makeup/lip syncing & sent them in to get masterfully done to become the joint video.
Notice if hadn't:
- Height Chart
The height charts, are all over the place & changing throughout.
(Are any of them really 4'6" or 6'8"?)
-Appearances
Rob & Austin seemed to be in for a 'misdemeanor' crime as they're dancing & seem relaxed
Tim & Chance seem to be doing serious time? Seem more serious less movement
Rupp seems crazy
- Jumpsuits
Some loose, others tight
(Adam's looks like it's a onesie for a baby)
- Tim AND Chance
BOTH sound a lot like Johnny Cash in this video
- Tim
Makeup & (he stopped dying his hair) gave a drastic look to give ghoulish hollowed evil look
Additionally, think one of first videos & started keeping hair natural
---Low Note wicked
Tim hits the last low note, he has a devilish grin while doing it
- Rupp (beat boxer)
He was acting like a crazy man throughout (walking all over the cell while everyone else is staying in place)
*Percussion
IT'S NOT STANDARD PERCUSSION THROUGHOUT!
YOU'LL HEAR IT if go back & listen
- There's a sound of Adam prepping a shotgun! (Will see him cocking it if looked at it, not realizing he's making the legit noise)
- He's NOT doing high hat rims, it's the actual sounds of a train riding on railroad tracks plus periodically the clinking noise going over the metal connectors listen to this, then replay the song you'll hear it!:

They're purposely using the sounds as Johnny Cash was known for 'prison/railroad songs'
Railroad songs?
Cash stated when growing up heard the trains in the distance daydreamed ability to go wherever to follow dreams. Same reasoning those in prison could hear the train & think could take them away. Hence railroad songs.
-Arrangement
Only Tim & Chance are sounding country doing the melody.
The rest are doing more of a jazz style arrangement. The tenor duo is the one putting a modern response twist as well as using jazz chords.
Have you checked out Home Free "Ring of fire" (another Johnny Cash song) featuring Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix?
LOL, everyone mentions that heights. They are between 6'1 (and a bit) and 6'4. The shortest being Austin (redheaded high tenor) and tallest being Rob (Tenor/The Beard). You nailed the lyrics for God`s Gonna Cut You Down. Great reaction! You bring a whole new perspective and it's awesome.
The last segment with Tim Foust, he hits an E1 there. He can do just about anything. I think that you would like some of his solo stuff, were he goes High, too. Just my suggestion. Great Post.
You have a great quality/tambour/timbre to your voice. I'd like to hear you sing any Johnny Cash song. It would suit your range. Love your reactions, by the way. I'm always looking to see if there are any more Home Free songs that you've reacted to. Keep them coming and thank you! Edited to add: They are all about the same height, 6' or over. They were just trying to be funny/ironic, I think.
This is so very awesome! These guys are the best! Love your reaction!
Another great Home Free reaction! You are discovering by now that Home Free never disappoints! The rabbit hole is deep and diverse, please keep going!
Some suggestions:
One Man Band
One Voice feat. Billy Gilman
The Gambler
Givin' Up, Givin' Up on You feat. Texas Hill (original)
Road Sweet Road (original)
Delta Dawn feat. Brooke Eden
I love when my favorite reactors discover Home Free. Thanks for the reaction.
Love This One !!
It's crazy, even using a hard vocal fry he is resonant. It's awesome!!
So enjoy watching you enjoy. Your knowledge and personal talent is impressive!
I love Home Free and your reaction was fantastic. They are impressive. But just so that you know...the clickety-clack that a train makes is when the wheels hit the spaces between the rails when they are laid end to end. They can't be connected literally...so yeah, clickety-clack, clickety-clack. Time to go for a train ride!!! lol
I live in a small Railroad town. Many generations of males in my family worked the railroad until they finally shut down to only a few employees a few yrs ago. It was great income for the small community. Anthony if you like look up the story about an elephant called Mary. Its the history of the town i grew up and live in.
They are all around 6' 3" - 6' 5" in height. The heights in the backgrounds were just for a good laugh. They had fun taking this song and making it their own. I loved it form Johny Cash. i think I love it even more from them. This song is FIRE!!! I would have to agree Chance would fit in as a third brother easily to wolverine.
Tim is the bass and his lower notes are called a Growl. He has an amazing range.
You need to have a look at Peter Barber who is a low bass singer and Geoff Castalucci of VoicePlay. They both hove videos on low singing.
Adam does some great beat boxing in their cover of "snapback". And its a great video too.
You're correct, Tim's the tallest @ 6'4" with Austin the shortest @ 6'1.5., love the creativity of these guys. Enjoy all your reactions!
I think Rob is 6’4” isn’t he? And Tim is 6’3”. I’ve always heard Rob is the tallest?
Enjoying your HF reactions!! Aren’t the guys incredible?! Love the way Tim grins when he hits and holds that LOW note! Signed, new sub
Interesting reaction. You're evolving it seems. Really enjoyed your reaction to this.
Thanks, what do you mean by "evolving"?
I'm sure you would appreciate their cover of "Listen To The Music" by the Doobie Brothers. Freaking amazing cover that they truly upgraded.
ฉันชอบเอกลักษณ์ของเพลงนี้❤
I am so glad you like Home Free as much as I do! I really like Johnny Cash too, especially The Man in Black. Loved watching this with you! Geoff Castellucci does have low bass tutorials on his RUclips channel.
You make this train ride even more fun.
Have you ever heard Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue"? It's one of his few funny songs. Folsom Prison Blues is another in the 'quarantine' series. You have a really good voice - you should be singing yourself! Thanks for playing this one & your comments. Have you seen HFs version of "When a Man Loves a Woman" or the duet with Austin & Rob singing "Nessun Dorma"?
Collectively they have a weird sense of humor - they put up the heights themselves (they range from about 6' to 6'4").
Great version of this song. These boys are so amazing.❤️
If you want to hear some more of Tim
s deep, deep rumbling voice, you must listen to him and Peter Hollins do " Misty Mountain" and pay close attention to the very last note of the song and watch your screen and what Tim does to it.
ALSO check out some of Pentatonix music. They are AWESOME too. Another a cappella group that completely changed the genre and the music world. Check out " Daft Punk" "Carol of the Bells" " Imagine" and anything else you can get to because you will NOT be disappointed with ANYTHING from Pentatonix or Home Free.
Thank you Jane!
Tim Foust (HF) and Geoff Castellucci (VP) are both incredible basses. Both are naturally gifted with the physical attributes that lead to bass notes (something about the thickness and length of the vocal cords), but both have also worked hard to enhance and develop their range, both high and low. Geoff has a couple of videos on RUclips about how to sing low notes.
You noticed that the rhythm replicates the sound of a train rolling down the tracks....the high sung pitches could be a "Train Whistle".... I do consider Adam more of a vocal percussionist because of his amazing replication of drumming what an actual drummer would do. He can, of course, do beatboxing style effects.
As I understand it, Adam took drum lessons to help him better understand how a drummer would compose his parts. He studied trumpet in college, so he has an actual music degree.
🔥🔥 .. thank you Jamie Mitchel ... .. fire fire fire .. I was hoping you would get to this one Anthony . These guys in a class of their own. Sooooo good .. so so so so good ! 🔥🔥
Love you and home free! God bless Texas
And Austin is that high lonesome whistle of the train. 😊And you should definitely SING! What a great bass you have!!!!!!❤Tim has vids I believe where he does a little bass coaching. 😊
Your reactions are awesome. It’s quite obvious to me that you simply just LOVE music all together, it doesn’t matter to you what the type/style, whatever. You just love music. So cool bro.
One of my favorite Home Free, though May Day is my absolute fav. You do a great reaction video. It's obvious you know music as an art
Adam Chance was featured in The Hound and The Fox cover of Hurt - worth a listen
You might want to check out the version of this song done by Geoff Castellucci, the bass singer for VoicePlay. His was filmed in an actual prison.
Watch Two of these guys solo songs, Austin Brown “Unchained Melody” and Tim Foust “Will you Still Love Me/Stay” Tim does all parts of this song .
Yes! Chance does look like those 2 actors! Lol you have a great bass voice 👍
You are absolutely right ‼️ Chance does look like the 3rd brother‼️🤣😂‼️ that's awesome ‼️
Just wait until you hear Austin doing When A Man Loves A Woman!!!!!!! BTW, Geoff Castellucci has a video on how to make your voice LOW LOW LOW!!!!!
I love bass singers especially this guy and Geoff from voice play
LOL. They didn't all pay attention to where the height was in comparison to the markings on the "sheet" or whatever they were using. I've seen them live. They're all over 6 feet tall but probably not more than 6'5"ish?
Great bass from you as well, btw. A great extended low low bass note from Tim occurs as the final note in their cover of "Ring of Fire" with Avi Kaplan. Their first experience with 2 basses, which makes for an easier bass sub when Tim takes lead which, as you know, he does quite often. I like to think it influenced them a little when they were replacing their baritone into choosing a former bass in Adam Chance.
New Big Fan too...they rock
That dark headed guy your talking about reminds me of one of the main guys in Scream 2
They were trying to make it sound like a train. You're one of the first reactors I've seen who pointed that out.
If you want low bass singing lessons, Geoff Castelluci has a couple of videos on his channel where he talks about how he trained his voice to go lower. Good luck with it!
Sadly Geoff only uses subharmonics which many bass singers are not a fan of. Sounds too much like burping low.
they are all about 6'2". one of them once announced his height, and when you watch them on stage, you can see that they line up pretty well. it's actually very effective as a device for wowing the audience. when they all step forward, there's no one shorter or taller to ruin the effect. thanks for the great reaction.
I love your reactions, they way you pick out and appreciate every layer. Is acapella hip hop a thing? If not, you could make it a thing 😆
The next step in your Home Free journey should be to listen to one of their amazing collaborations. I suggest your listen to American Pie. Don McLean the author specifically choose Home Free to record the 50th anniversary version of his famous 70's classic. It will bring a mile wide smile to your face. The vocal arrangements are mind blowing. At the other end of the spectrum One Voice with Billy Gilman is one of the most emotional and saddest songs I have ever heard.
Chance is "Saberwolve" lol, yes!!!
I love this version! Taking nothing away from Johnny but this is wow! I think the woo woo sounds like a train too😊
You do good, man!
Cash was & is an artists artist
If you look up Tim Foust... OMG.. he can do anything with his voice.. he not just a baritone... he's amazing.
it is funny you mentioned hurt Johnny cash did a great cover of the Nine Inch Nails song. ❤
I would suggest listening to Tim Faust (Home Free Bass Singer) and Peter Hollins singing Misty Mountains (acapella)
I love Chance’s eyebrows.
You absolutely have to listen to there sing off version vs newer version they did of Johny Cash's Ring of fire. Epic. Tims low base did what some called a soic sub-woofer black out. In the newer version with guest singer Avi Kaplin (former Pentatonix) Avi tips his hat to Tims low notes. G1 is a bottom note for sure. Blow your sound system stuff.
