Original video: • Home Free - Ring of Fi...
Home Free doesn't do "covers", Home Free does "UPGRADES"! Love these guys!
And yet you failed to recognize the full depth of Tim’s loooowww note in so much that Avi gave him his due……only 5 octaves of it!….. love our Home Free💕
Yes Avi taking off his beanie and putting on the cowboy hat is him conceding the win to Tim.
I'm consistently mind blown at the fact Tim has a vocal range that spans 5, that's right, FIVE octaves.. 😱🤯
Hi coach Phil! Home Free added that reggae touch to the song, making it their own. They sang it in the Sing Off competition, and it definitely solidified their position there (they won the season!). This song got me hooked on HF! 💖🎆😍
Home Free doesn't just do country, they have a wide variety of genres, and love to have fun with their music, check Country Fried Pop Medley, All About That Bass, the Butts Remix, I Swear (just s few). They also hit on meaningful topics, where One Voice, Everybody Walkin' This Land, Traveling Soldier are just examples. They really are fantastic!! 🎶🔥💖
Names: Adam Rupp (beatboxer) - Tim Foust (bass) - Adam Chance (baritone/bass - goes by Chance) - Rob Lundquist (tenor) - Austin Brown (high tenor). Chance replaced Chris Rupp a few years ago. Tim and Austin also wrote or co-wrote several amazing songs, and lately Chance started showing his own too.
Great reaction, please, keep them coming!
Hey Alex :) Ahh! I picked one of Alex's favourites! That's awesome :) It sounds like all of the different genres they do (while still staying true to their sound) is a large part of why we like them so much. Hope you're keeping well, Alex! Have a fun day :)
Adam it’s criminally overlooked. He helps carry this song
Home Free is at the very top of the tier of a cappella groups.
Love ya that you love this so.... so fun that they made it sound Island sound.
Much love dear!! great reaction!!
You're the 1st one to point out Avi taking his hat off to Tim's low note. Brilliant point!!!
By continually interrupting the song you miss things. One of the things you missed was exactly how long Tim held that last note. Oh, I'm not sure Avi was taking his hat off to Tim, it looked more like he was changing to a cowboy hat to show conversion to country.
Yes Adam Rupp.
Yes! The Home Fry learner plates will be off soon...I can feel it!🤣 Thanks, Darlene :)

Hey Jeanette :) I'd heard that they'd originally performed it in the Sing Off. Thanks letting us know which series (although I suspect I'm the only one in the comments section who still needs to be told! 🤣). Have a fun day :)
And the one they did on the show is a half-tone lower than this one, although Tim doesn’t hold that last note as long.
You should watch the Home Free sing off version. I remember watching it at age 13. That was the first time my jaw dropped watching a TV singing performance, because I was stunned and having so much fun listening to Adam Rupp’s phenomenal percussion! 🤯😁🙌. His awesome skill is what caused me to become a Home Fry recently.
Hey Angela :) Wow! That's amazing! You're right - Adam is just fantastic. He's such an important part of the group :)
Thank you for your reaction to "Ring of Fire" ... I have 2 Home Free recommendations for you , the first is "My Church" and the second is the cover of "Hopelessly Hoping" both are excellent ...
I love your enthusiasm in reviewing this view. Your reaction is totally real and I appreciate that. I found these guys about 6 months ago and not a day goes by that I don't watch at least (definitely more)b of their videos. You were right, Adam is the beat boxer's name.
Avi Kaplan is a solo singer-songwriter now. Reactors, vocal coaches etc in the U.K. compare him to Rag N Bone Man or Hozier. Most of what he sings are his own original compositions (15 released and 7 additional performed but not released yet) but he is covered alot by bass singers in particular. "The Summit" and "Aberdeen" along with "Change On the Rise" are the most popular for that.
The only 3 songs he has formally covered in his solo work are "House of the Rising Son", "Hey Ya!" and "Lean On Me".
If you want the whole American a cappella community one of your next should be Peter Hollens. He and Avi did a cover of "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair" that is gorgeous. Additional bands would be Street Corner Symphony and The Collective which are very interconnected as well. Homefree's baritone Adam Chance used to sing with Streetcorner and Kaleb Thomas Jones of the Collective is now in Avi Kaplan's band. Both Streetcorner Symphony and the Collective came together to backup Avi when he first started singing again in 2019 and Daniel Ellsworth of Streetcorner Symphony has a co-writing credit on 2 of Avi's songs, "I'll Get By" and "Sweet Adeline pt 2". All of those singers plus Avi and Austin and Tim Foust of Homefree live in Nashville, Tennessee now. Everyone I mentioned including Peter Hollens was also on the television competition show The Sing-Off for acappella over the 2nd, 3rd and 4th seasons. A very tight community.
Hey Gail :) Thanks so much for the history. Yeah, I knew that they'd come out of The Sing-Off. Peter talks about how it got him 0 popularity when he was trying to be a full-time singer, so it's interesting that performances from the show are such a hit with Home Free audiences. Have a fun day :)
@@CoverCoach Peter was in the season before and with a group. I never saw Peter Hollens performance or for that matter any of the Sing-Off when it was on TV. Not my thing. All of it was captured by "Mrduckbear11" and came in handy as a research source while in quarantine and looking for something to do. It was quite fascinating. Ben Bram being involved was a definite advantage to Pentatonix on the show and Avi had his own admirers throughout the California acappella community in particular bass singers always being in short supply.
I always Enjoy your informative review/comments😉🤙🏼
A must for your review:
Peter Hollens feat Avi Avi AweSome AhhVee “Black is the Color of my True’s Love’s Hair”
✌🏻💝🖖🏼
Watching the smile come over your face when you first hear Austin sing was so awesome! I'll be looking for more HF reactions!
Hey Jennifer :) Just watched it back. Totally subconscious! :) Austin's voice is so special. Next time I do a Home Free reaction, I'll spend some time talking about it because he is awesome! Have a fun day :)
@@CoverCoach please react to When a Man Loves a Woman, Austin’s lead is amazing! Adam kills it with his percussion and the harmonies are perfect.
This was about the time when Avi was going solo. That beanie fit in with the Pentatonix vibe, but he was headed toward a more folk music sound, so this marked a transition for him. He's been good friends with Tim and the two have learned from each other. It's heartwarming to see how, when you hear of musicians acting like spoiled divas, to see a group of musicians who don't seem to have that kind of hangup get together as friends and put out great music.
no, this came out in 2014, he left ptx in 2017
You really need to do Geoff Castellucci singing Tennessee Ernie Ford's "sixteen tons".
Love,love Home Free!!❤
The judge on the “Sing- Off said “Did I just hear a cappella country reggae?” So yes, Adam Rupp did something very different. But that is the usual for him. Also, Tim, Avi & Geoff (VoicePlay) are friends and help each other out. React to Home Free “Champagne Tastes on a Beer Budget” that Tim wrote. HINT: Watch out for Avi - you saw his hat change in this video. Thanks for your reaction
Hey Tracy :) Haha! That's amazing! Yeah, somebody has mentioned that song already - sounds awesome! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@CoverCoach Little tidbit...They recorded the video the day after this...so Avi just happened to be around.
@@wirelessmikedj7784 Ah! That's so cool!
If you're going to react to Avi's solo work you will thank yourself a lot to hear him do his original "Change On The Rise" and "It Knows Me".
And the official audio of "Chains" for his lows.
Otherside is a gorgeous listen as well
Hey Blue :) Thanks for the suggestions! I heard Change on the Rise when it first appeared a few years back. But I haven't seen It Knows Me, so that could be REALLY cool! Have a fun day :)
You should check out Avi's solo song Change is on the Rise if you enjoy his stuff
If you like this, just wait til you check out my favorite Home Free cover, Folsom Prison Blues! 🔥 Their original songs Land of the Free and Dive Bar Saints are 2 of my favorites in my music library! As much as I enjoy Home Free covers, their originals are the ones that I listen to the most. Thank you for reaction coach.
You should check out The Teskey Brothers - "Rain" and also their song "Hold Me"
Avi stated Tim helped him go low like does. Tim also helped Geoff of VoicePlay.
Hey Dana :) The way I understand it, Tim must be slightly older than our other two big basses. It's nice to think that he comes across some of these techniques first and then passes them onto his friends. Geoff has said he found subharmonic singing specifically from a random RUclips video.
@@CoverCoach I think it was Scott of PTX who stated that Tim was teaching Avi to go even lower using growl technique in an interview. I don't know for Geoff, but he is a master of Subharmonics, and Tim is a master of Growls. I like Avi's chest voice though.
Tim did not help geoff with anything..and Geoff is the oldest of them.
I would love to see all the bases Avi from PTX, Geoff from Voiceplay and Tim from Home free record a song together it would be epic.
While this is the "Sing-Off" lineup, the addition of Kaplan provides a preview to HF's current sound. The baritone in this video, Chris Rupp, left the group in 2016. Adam Chance, his replacement, is a bass-baritone whose range is roughly from F1 to F5. That means he covers the bass when Foust sings lead.
They all did so good with harmonies and Adam Rupp’s beatboxing! Great reaction! I love Home Free😊
You should check out Avi's "Change on the Rise"
You've barely scratched the surface of Home Free's music. 3 of them are song writers so there are lots of originals as well as covers. Tim Foust (bass) has a 5+ octave range. The beatboxer (Adam Rupp) is incomparable (and also has an impressive vocal range). They're all vocal chameleons and sing everything from goofy to gospel and have collaborated with such legends as Kenny Rogers, the Oak Ridge Boys, Alabama, Charlie Daniels, Don McLean & Lee Greenwood.
Adam has a drum solo 🔥🔥🔥
Avi is so deep with his voice
Check out Avi singing "Black is the Colour of My True Loves Hair".
Actually Avi was replacing his beanie with a cowboy hat, almost like he was saying..... look what I just did.....a country song.❤
❤❤
Best video ever
By the way June Carter-Cash, Johnny's wife was the co-writer of this song (she was a member of the legendary Carter family - one of Country Music's "royal" families. She wrote it about falling for Johnny while still married to someone else !!
What an absolute shocker! But I'm glad she did! 🤣
Wow, these guys are just brilliant, I'm always smiling when I listen to them :D And you benefit from this ;) Great reaction! I love your excitement
Hey Ria :) You're so right. They just make you smile! Thanks for being awesome and have a fun day :)
I don't know if anyone in the 100+ comments mentioned this, but at the end, Avi wasn't taking off his hat in deference to Tim. It was a joke move that he took off his iconic (at the time) knit beanie and replaced it with a cowboy hat. And now that I'm commenting a year after you posted this reaction, I can recommend that you check out Avi's newest album, an 11-song, all-original album that was released May 20 this year, a day before his US tour started. All 11 songs are great, but 2 good starters are "I'm Only Getting Started" and "When I'm a Fool" (that one for the bass). But a bigger suggestion would be that you watch and maybe react to the solo version of a duet he co-wrote and performed with Grammy-winning Joy Williams - "All is Well" done in a church in Utrecht, Netherlands a few months ago while on his European tour. The natural resonance of his voice is enhanced by the acoustics of the building. A stunning piece. ruclips.net/video/sNjbAAjF4Tg/видео.html
Loved your reaction! These guys are great and Avi is one classy dude. ❤
Hey Phil to really start to grasp how good Home Free are and to test their professional status, please react to their cover of Helplessly Hoping. I think you'll really be impressed....they are so much more than the "country bumpkins" most people just relegate them before even seeing what they are capable. These are college trained professionals
Hey Kevin :) That sounds like a great idea! As for the "country bumpkins"...you know, I think pretty much everyone who knows the guys well enough even just to know the name 'Home Free' has more respect for them. Have you heard people talk unkindly about them?
@@CoverCoach several reactors I've seen diss them their 1st time before listening to them ever...recently there was this one lady who dissed them so badly that we Home Fries are collectively boycotting her channel now.
@@CoverCoach Phil, PLEASE promise to react to one of their very serious pieces, I would love it to be Helplessly Hoping but How Great Thou Art or Auld Lang Syne are great too...5 part harmony & no beatboxing in any one of them.
Oh no! That must have been really rubbish to have your guys insulted. I'm sorry that's happened mate! Kevin, just for you buddy, I PROMISE! 😊😊
@@CoverCoach awesome and thank you Phil, trust me your ears will love you for it !!!
Great reaction! Love Homefree! They are brillant!!! Harmonies unmatched! Hope you do react to more Homefree! You should react to their cover of John Mayer's " In the Blood". Thank you for your reaction!
Hey Carla :) Your suggestion sounds awesome! Thank you :)
Good reaction to a classic Johnny Cash song. You might like their cover of Johnny’s Folsom Prison Blues. Also try Helplessly Hoping by them…it’s so beautiful!
Hey Baby Fry (awesome name!) :) I've been asked to do Prison Blues a few times, so that could be a really great one. Thanks! :)
If you want to react to Avi he has alot of solo stuff now! But one song I always find beautiful is Standing By (PTX, of solo version) and Otherside from Avi kaplan himself. For the rest Home Free has a lot of amazing stuff. They rock with "down by the honkeytonk"!
Hey :) Thank you so much for the awesome suggestions! :)
@@CoverCoach no problem!
Otherside is good, but I prefer Aberdeen, I'll Get By, Chains (Audio), The Summit (Audio) and Get Down (Audio). And his covers of Lean On Me (Audio) and House Of The Rising Sun (Live) are also superb.
Good reaction. Please more Home Free! Try Sold, My church, In the blood and all others!
We'll make you a full-fledged Home Fry yet!
Hey Vicki :) Haha! I'd love that :) I'm thinking a reaction of Mayday will be my 'initiation' video 🤣
@@CoverCoach That one really has a lot of meaning for me. Looking forward to it!
@@CoverCoach That one has a lot of meaning for me, so I am very much looking forward to your reaction.
No offense to Avi, but you really need to react to Home Free's version of this when they performed it on The Sing Off. Hear the judges' reactions.
I prefer the sing-off version
Me too
Hey Mike :) Yeah, there's a lot of love the original version on The Sing Off! Thanks for letting me know :) Have a fun day :)
That’s because Pentatonix doesn’t appreciate the bass singers.
These guys are so great.
You need to listen to Tim Foust will you love me tomorrow/Stay
When I saw him switch hats, I thought it was a little tribute to The Man in Black, Johnny Cash.
Lmao!!!! Love your chair dance. 😂😂 Home free is just awesome!!!!
Tim has worked with Avi to teach him how to sing lower. Tim is the beast!
June Carter wrote "Ring of Fire."
Someone gave that hat to Avi and he was putting it on 😊
reminds me of king of spain by moxy fruvous.
austin and his high vocals
We heard Homefree sing this live in Sydney. My daughter wanted to record it to share Tim's final low note with her friends. When she played it back, the phones microphone hadn't picked up the note. I can only assume it was too low 🤷♀️
Hey Charli :) That's crazy! How did your daughter feel? It may be because the pitch frequency of the low note was similar to the general sound frequency of the space and just got entangled within the part of the spectrum. But who knows!
Please do some of Dave Fenley stuff! Grandpa is such an amazing song and God in it is another great one! Would love to see your reaction to them!
Avi was pouring the hat ON. 😁
Love this! Great vid
Hey David :) What an awesome thing to say! Thank you :)
If you listen to Tim’s singing, you will find he has a 5+ octive range, and can sing naturally with ease in any of them.
He didn't have his hat on before that. He only had the material cap.
He did not take his hat off to Tim. He switched from a Beenie to a CVowboy Hat. Just so you know. LOL, awesome video. Side note, you cut off the last note.
Hey Donni :) Yeah, good spot mate :) Still a cool gesture. Have a fun day :)
@@CoverCoach GREAT gesture. And please, stop apologizing for pausing. This is YOUR channel. React the way You want to. If pausing is your way, than pause. You'll see the number of subscribers go down if it deserves an apology. But I think you're good. And, I always have a good day. You do the same.
That's awesome mate. You've given me some confidence there so thanks :)
THANK YOU!! I've been saying this all along. This was a gesture by Avi to show that he was more of a country/folk/Americana fan than the pop he was performing with Pentatonix. Americana and roots music is what Avi is now performing as a solo artist.
If you want some fun try Hill Billy Bone
Loved your reaction to this. You should also check out Voice Play 's Sing (tick off the skills involved by the appearances) Will be well worth your time.
Hey Andrea :) Thank you! That's really kind :) Thanks for the awesome suggestion! :)
I hate to spoil it but Johnny didn't write the song. His wife, June Carter Cash wrote it. The Beatboxer is Adam Rupp. And the newest member is Adam Chance. He replaced Adam's Brother Chris Rupp, who is wearing the cowboy hat at the start & throughout this video. 🎶👱♀️👗👠👠💓
Hey :) You're not spoiling it! :) That's awesome that it was actually June who wrote it :)
Johnnie's up in Heaven saying well done boys
just wondering if you have reacted to any of Avi's solo stuff yet?
I'm sorry, but I had to comment when I heard you mention that this was written by Johnny Cash. It was written by June Carter Cash
Do Disturbed Sound of Silence please.
Hey Jan :) It's sooo good! Have a fun day :)
Actually a bit of a switch. Avi took off his cap and put on a cowboy (country and western) hat. All in good fun!
Hey Gary :) You're right, still good fun! :)

Oogie Boogie's Song.
Also, their bass singer Geoff Castellucci has produced some great ones including
The Headless Horseman
Sixteen Tons and
Blackbird.
Thanks
..
Hey :) I LOVE that you have this list! What a great way to keep track of songs. Will definitely be giving some of these a look. I first watched Pentatonix when they released their Evolution of Music piece. At the time, I was learning to write orchestral music, so I loved that they included classical stuff :) Have a fun day!
Pentatonix has a lot of good songs. I really like their version of Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. It turned out original.
@@soundsofnature2237 Oh yeah, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, Daft Punk, Bohemian Rhapsody and Sound of Silence are my PTX favs!
Actually Avi was putting his hat on.
Check out champagne taste on a beer budget for a sneak appearance of avi
Hey Michael :) That sounds awesome! Thanks :)
Great reaction! Check out their cover of End of the Road or Take Me Home, Country Roads... both are incredible! We'll make you a full-fledged Home Fry!
Hey Leandra :) Haha! That's amazing :) Both of those are incredible songs, but I've not heard Home Free's version of them, so that would be awesome :) Thanks for the suggestions! Have a fun day :)
Blue Ain't Your Color by Home Free
Wow! Three videos in a row and no sign of the nerd goggles! You might be cool enough now to go to a club... Keep going. I know you're planning more Pentatonix, but if you're diggin' on beatboxers extra heavy, check out Voiceplay's Moana Medley. Layne put in the work on that one! Cheers!
Hey Norman :) Haha! And I'd been calling them glasses...definitely 'music nerd goggles' from now on! But you're right mate, the goggles must make a come-back! Sounds like a great suggestion! Hope you're keeping well mate!
Tim helped Avi learn to get lower using growl and subharmonics
Hey Darlene :) I've heard that said before. What an awesome idea that the basses of the internet are coming together to make the space even more epic! Have a fun day :)
Tim also helped Geoff Castalucci. Geoff talks about it on his RUclips channel.
Tim helped Avi with the growl technique but not with the subharmonic technique. Tim and Avi don't use the subharmonic technique. I asked Avi in a livestream and he said that he is trying to learn the subharmonic technique but we never heard him doing it. Hopefully one day
Hopefully one day!
Avi doesn't use subharmonics according to him. He does growl aka use fire-breathing for a couple of his lowest notes. Neither does Tim Foust use subharmonics that's Geoff Castelluci' thing and some of the upcoming basses like Tomi.
While Avi and Tim are certainly good friends, I'm thinking the black cowboy hat was done as respect to Johnny Cash, aka the Man in Black.
Hi Phil. Good reaction to Home Free and Ari! Will you react to Citizen Queen? They're a great, all-women (even the beatboxer!) a cappella group that works with Pentatonix. Their most popular video is a cover medley, "Evolution of Girl Groups" (21M views), but their individual covers of "Señorita" and "No Tears Left to Cry" are also excellent and successful (over a million views each.) Do you also take requests for covers with music, or only a cappella? Btw, you have an interesting niche for your channel: channel growth + making great covers. 👍
PLEASE REACT TO TOMI P: HELLFIRE IT CONTAINS HIS MASSIVE SIX OCTAVE RANGE AND HE IS A BASS AS WELL
Both of them blow speakers...
Avi doesn't need to take his hat off to anyone.
He is in my opinion superior to Tim though Tim is good.
Avi has a much superior, weighty Basso sound to Tim.
His resonance is better than any one I have heard.
You really should react to some of Avi's solo work.
He produces Americana Folk, Nature Boy work.
Tim is better than Avi because he actually coached Avi how to be so good. That shows what a great guy Tim is
Fun fact, Johnny Cash didn't write this song, his wife did.
Guess you've never heard Home Free...?
It's been a year and you still don't do a reaction to Avi... So... What are you waiting?
Johnny Cash didn't write the song--June Carter did! but Johnny Cash made it unfoirgettable
Johnny Cash didn't write this song. His wife June Carter Cash wrote it when she fell in love with the then married Johnny.
And she was married as well
Hey Marissa :) Such scandal! Well, I'm glad she wrote it. What a belter! :)
@@CoverCoach As PJ reminded me, she was also married at the time & I think it was a huge scandal at the time. Now days nobody would even notice & surely wouldn't care.
Is it just me ..... or if you were to give this guy a red balloon would he look just like pennywise?
Jesus loves everyone
If you want this channel to take off you're going to have to work on your pause timing and what you think is really relevant to discuss during those pauses. If it were to stay as is it would be very frustrating for viewers and not likely promote subscribing. Just my opinion.
Too many interruptions. Didn’t sub because of this.
