This isn't the first time this arrangement has been done. While he's not everybody's cup of tea, Michael Bolton did this exact same arrangement in the late 90's - note for note. And it was well received back then.
@@jjeffreyolsen6058 - no dispute that it's not the same result with the instrumentation. What I wanted to point out was that it was the same arrangement - albeit voices instead of instruments. Nothing intended to be disparaging to either performance. Austin's voice is "diamonds to my ears," to quote HarriBest Reactions. And Michael Bolton will always have my heart. Just wanted props to the original arranger.
Mr. Micharl Bolton also sang it pretty good version of it. They both did. They really, really did. And WOW! They both soumded great. But in my own personal opinion young lady, since I am a 73 year old man all I ever heard was the one that I like the best by Soul Brother, Mr. Percy Sledge original version of it back in the day in 1966. Talk about it having a lot of soul and he didn't even have to be loud and fancy and all of that but girl it came strictly from the heart and soul within. Well you asked, you wanted my opinion, you got it. Have a Nlessed day. And once again, I thank you for playing He Free version of it. I really, really enjoyed it very, very much. It was good. Have a Blessed Day. Adios.
I melted too when Austin started to sing this, spilled my coffee and then I had too go back, listen to Home Free... Adam is so very fantastic... This is only complete with all of Home Free doing it together. But Austins voice is so powerful and nice the guy's let him shine here...
Austin is one of the best tenors in any genre in the world, as many singers have remarked. It's not just his extraordinary voice but its golden tone, his impeccable technique and his ability to convey emotion. He's also a sweet and humble person, which may be why he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Tim Foust (bass) had nagged Austin to do this one for several years but he kept refusing, not feeling he could do it justice. His private life was a mess from about 2017-2020 so probably he also felt he was not the person to sing about love. His voice improved a couple of years ago and when this was recorded he was at last in a happy relationship with his lovely gf, so he finally said he'd do it. What sets his version apart is not just the clever and supportive arrangement (led by a stupendous performance by Adam Rupp) but the way he conveys so much joy. So many versions of the song are so constipated and miserable that you feel sorry for any unfortunate female who has to put up with this (yes, Michael Bolton, I'm looking at you), but Austin leaves us feeling that whatever the risk of love, it's well worth it.
These guys are great as a group and each one of them is an amazing vocalist. And it isn't just Austin's voice that melts all of us women. It's the fact that he is SO good at using the camera to flirt with us. He should have a long career if he keeps that up!
So many reactions to this song say the same thing, “I don’t want it to end”. Austin just crushed it. The passion and soul along with the wonderful harmonies and arrangement…..WOW!
Have your wife/girlfriend listen to this and do something special for her immediately afterward. I guarantee you'll enjoy her response...😮 God bless you Austin
I agree, this is the best version I've ever heard. Austin is singing with so much heart and soul and he means every single word. When I listen to this I love keeping my focus on the support tight harmonies backing Austin's voice up. When I do the beats and the bass hold a solid support on the bottom and Austin's voice flies free above. Gorgeous arrangement and Magnificently delivered. Thanks for a great reaction! And for the correction. We're all learning something new at all times. 💞🥰🙏
Lol, oh hun you have barely scratched the surface of the Home Free rabbit hole. They probably have the largest video library of any group or artist I know of. There covers are all amazing but are also excellent song writer's also and their original work is amazing too. This song was one of their most recent video releases but they have been putting out content threw the hole pandemic. Hope you continue to do home free reviews .
@@jameejams2229 I think i can even better! ;) Im almost like Dimash Kudaibergen just in 1 octave range lower than him, but also i can sing even lower than him! ^^
There is one more by song by Home Free that you need to listen to. It's entitled "End of the Road", which was originally sung by the group Boyz to Men. Phenomenal rendition of the song. You'll absolutely love it. Rob sings the lead and does a fantastic job.
This is new and following COVID protocol... Very different vibe then Steel Panther Home Free has a bunch of very creative covid protocol videos. I'd suggest Man of Constant Sorrows to see more of Austin. You'll also get a good bit of everyone else (pay attention at the end to see what Chance was doing other then covering base at times...)
Yes, they have been social distancing but they have been very creative in making their videos. Austin's voice or Tim's (the bass) can melt you for sure. I love this group.
You want to marry Austin. You want to... well you will have already finished, listening to Tim so, you can go back to Austin There is a RUclips video of Tim blowing speakers at a concert.
@@DyvmSlorm Yes there is. I was at one of their concerts where the plaster started flaking down off of the ceiling when Tim hit a low note in Ring Of Fire. It was awesome!
Jamee my friend.... I am going to miss you so much!!! its so hard to come back and watch these, but at the same time, it brings so much joy as you always did... even when things were rough you were inspiring and had an encouraging heart... Love ya Kiddo.... you get to rest now.... we will take it from here....
This is why I watch reactions....right there...pricless...I penned a phrase long ago one day..." if you have a talent that can change a person's emotion....share it with the world" these men have that gift...amazing musicians and gentlemen....good job girl for pushing them a little higher...
To get a complete feel of how good these guy really are, check out their cover of "Ring of Fire" or "Man of Constant Sorrow". Adam Rupp (blonde hair) does the beat boxing and is one of the founding members of Home Free.
The only thing I can add to this is get to know the guys and their usual registers before doing MayDay trust me on this one. If you haven't done "How Great Thou Art" it's a must for Home Free
This was amazing. I love Austin’s cheeky grin when he looks and sings to the camera. It feels as though he is singing to me. He’s a beautiful man with a beautiful voice. I could listen to this a million times.
Love your Home Free reactions. With all do respect to Percy Sledge, this is the best version, of this song I've ever heard. Austin is awesome. A couple fun song suggestions are, Love Train, and Hillbilly Bone. Great reaction Jamee.
@@jameejams2229 Please hold off on Mayday till ya learn who's who and who does what --- PLEASE!!! You can thank me (us) later!!! Most everyone will tell ya when yer ready for Mayday! @D Carte, I know you have good intentions, but never request this to a neebie --- the whole significance will be missed ... it has already so many times!
My favorite Mayday and End Of The Road top my list. You will not regret listening to any of the covers by HF but they have originals as well. Their last album Dive Bar Saints is full of great songs. Tim and Austin wrote several recorded on it. Hope you take a listen!
You're not the only woman to swoon over Austin! All the female reviewers I've seen have, and a few of the men too! I read that the guys had to talk Austin into this song. So glad they did! He was singing to his then girlfriend (now wife) Amberly who was behind the camera. That's why those side looks were so flirty. Some of the comments folks have left on this performance are just hilarious! Check him out singing Bring Him Home (solo) from Les Misérables, and he and Rob singing Nessun Dorma! Be sure and have tissues for Bring Him Home. You will cry. It's an emotional, powerful performance!
Austin has an incredible tenor voice, that's for sure. He knows how to breathe and support the sound without straining, too. Not a capella, but you should give a listen to Post Modern Jukebox doing Dream On with Morgan James. She will blow you mind.
And his newest one is maybe even, if possible, my newest favorite of his with his high, high notes throughout, effortlessly, of course -- Let's Stay Together. Oh man! Austin is incredible and everyone needs to hear this voice! Thanks to all the reactors for getting him and Home Free out there too! They truly appreciate it as they have said! Take cre.
An older cover (I think the first that Adam Chance was in) of a John Mayer song "In the blood" is excellent. Another quarantine cover is "Folsum prison blues", and a colab. with Peter Hollens and his patrons covering "I still haven't found what I'm looking for".

Anytime! 🥰🤪
They deserve at least a Grammy nomination for this arrangement!
Do they ever!

"If you could make a baby with a voice," Austin will never be able to keep up with his child support obligations

Kid you have only scratched the surface of Home Free.
As long as we keep these old songs going for the younger generations with people who can actually sing, I am happy!
Us home frys love our home free 💖💖💖💖

Oh my gosh you have got to hear when a Man loves a woman! And by the way you are adorable. Austin is ridiculous! They all are!
Awesome reaction. Home free is Gold. Austin is the icing on the top.

Hit this one out of the park , fantastic the whole arrangement , Austin kills it wow !!!
So many reactions to this song say the same thing, “I don’t want it to end”. Austin just crushed it. The passion and soul along with the wonderful harmonies and arrangement…..WOW!
Saw Percy Sledge do ths live in the early 70's. This is the best version I have heard since then.
Percy would not be ashamed of this cover.
Have your wife/girlfriend listen to this and do something special for her immediately afterward. I guarantee you'll enjoy her response...😮 God bless you Austin
Percy Sledge would be proud of this.

Just listen to every one of their songs...then you’ll always be happy!♥️
Great reaction beautiful lady
Sigh... I agree.. completely. Thanks..
...I melted! They are freaking amazing!!!
Great reaction to a great song..... Alot of babies were conceived because of this song.....
It's just a wild guess on my part that you REALLY loved it!
Fantastic reaction! Thank you, (seriously)...and cheers from Oz.
The look on your face when he sings! Wish some Lady would have looked at me like that just once in 70 yrs
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole...there are just so many amazing songs!
This is new and following COVID protocol... Very different vibe then Steel Panther
Home Free has a bunch of very creative covid protocol videos.
I'd suggest Man of Constant Sorrows to see more of Austin. You'll also get a good bit of everyone else (pay attention at the end to see what Chance was doing other then covering base at times...)
This song is so big now by home free! I bet they get an award!
Your reaction when the lead vocal first came in was priceless!
A beautiful song they do extremely well to it and you are gorgeous
I loved your reaction. Home free amazing .
I still have this by Percy Sledge on vinyl, which I've converted to an MP3 to save the vinyl album. Bought it in the latter 1960's.
Yes, they have been social distancing but they have been very creative in making their videos. Austin's voice or Tim's (the bass) can melt you for sure. I love this group.

Don't miss their "Helplessly Hoping" for perfection across all members and even Adam Rupp sings.
Hey, I am a 70 year old that is asking, Would You Care to Dance, Beautiful Woman? Old Style. Your head on my shoulder.
Join the club. Look at his eyes. HOLY WOW, BEDROOM EYES.
😍😍😍
This 74 yr. Old woman wants more of Home Free and Austin!
This 67 year-old is right behind you!
@@jeanneduffner7798 Get in line behind a 78 year old.
You really need to check out American pie with the original artist Don McLane for the 50th anniversary of his song.
Absolutely. American Pie is one of their best covers.
What a Great reaction !!!!
The only thing I can add to this is get to know the guys and their usual registers before doing MayDay trust me on this one. If you haven't done "How Great Thou Art" it's a must for Home Free
Loved your reaction, so good .
Thanks!🥰
Loved your reaction. He melted you away.
He sure did!
Omg his voice! This is incredible! You look beautiful, girl!
He’s got a new solo....”AT LAST”..cover of an old Etta James one....he slays it 💖🙃‼️
Love your reaction, deep and honest, and a little funny (in a nice way). That guy is just amazing. What a performance.
Thank you!
I agree. Hands down the best version. I couldn’t download it fast enough. Loved your reaction. 🥰
This was amazing. I love Austin’s cheeky grin when he looks and sings to the camera. It feels as though he is singing to me. He’s a beautiful man with a beautiful voice. I could listen to this a million times.
Same!
He actually was singing to his girlfriend off camera 💜 but we can still pretend, right?!
Stunning 💞
Austin is so confident!!!! His hand motions really add to the attraction.
God you are absolutely stunning.
Thank you! 🥰
i love your reaction.
Words can't even describe the feelings when he looks at the camera............
Love Home Free! This is perfect! ❤️🔥
Love your reaction!!!

Veery powerful.......excellent Austin, thanks !
They are great
Percy Sledge is definitely smiling in heaven over this cover of his master piece.
This is a good one
You should react to their version of Folsom prison Blues
I’ve watched every reaction to this video on RUclips…love the musicgasums😂❤️
Home Free espetacular como sempre. Da-lhe gremio
YEP AUSTIN CAN MELT SOME HEARTS
I told you Jamee you would love that one. Now check out Thinking Out Loud and then Mayday!

If you want to melt- Austin Brown also covered Etta James “At Last” in the same key she sang in.
Great song and reactions!
I agree with you . Isabel
You have the face of an angel.
Thank you! 😇
The band asked Austin's ol'lady to come in and that's who he was singing to
So cute!!!
come on people more subs for this lovely lady.. she found love

You should listen to them doing a collaboration with Don Mclean doing a 50th anniversary of "American Pie"
Time to take a cold shower LOL, now you need to do Austin's STAND BY ME and At Last
😂😂😂
At Last is beyond belief! It made me a puddle of goo on the floor.
Austin Brown’s cover of “At Last” turned me into a puddle of jello. ❤️ Another video I love is Peter Hollins “Part of Your World” ❤️

You should hear Austin (on his channel) singing the classic Etta James song, "At Last," in the same key Etta sang it in!
IMO - anything and everything they do is awesome!
Home Free is the best at anything they do.
The rightous brothers sang unchained melody!
Home Free - Man of constant sorrow
Also check out their version of I swear by all 4 one
An older cover (I think the first that Adam Chance was in) of a John Mayer song "In the blood" is excellent. Another quarantine cover is "Folsum prison blues", and a colab. with Peter Hollens and his patrons covering "I still haven't found what I'm looking for".
Awesome
No you are Emily burger!
I love your face expression
Super song
Austin is🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! Please keep reacting to Home Free!!
I feel you his voice is like satin sheets you just wanna slide inside and cuddle up
Yesssss!
