My favorite moment from the behind the scenes video was Don was in the recording booth and asked Tim how they wanted him to sing the song. Tim said, "You do it how you want and we'll adjust to you."
You blokes need to start listening to Home Free with headphones! You'll be amazed by the quality of sound they'll afford! Thanks for sharing!
When Don MacLean received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last year he had Home Free perform the song there with him...first time that had ever been done.
This was all filmed during quarantine. They had Don lay down his vocal track first, then each of the guys laid their vocal tracks down from their home studios, so they never got together with each other. Very cleaver editing then brought them together digitally. Great remake of a great song.
This video was done during Quarantine so the parts weren't all filmed in the same areas. It was definitely a feat. They said the beatboxer was close to passing out on this one. You really are Home Fries now 4 vids in one day. So excited you've found them.
This was magnificent collaboration with Don McLean. Who needs instruments when you have Adam Rupp and Home Fred's harmonies?
It's been said that Don McLean (pronounced
McClain) wrote the somewhat cryptic lyrics of this song from the viewpoint of many young Americans in 1959. That year a tragic plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa claimed the lives of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper after a show they all performed earlier that evening. So, in the eyes of Don McLean and rock aficionados all over the world: This was the day that the music died.
Gives me chills ever single time I watch this amazing remake!
Love this remake of this classic song. Can't believe it came out 50 years ago. Don McLean still has a good voice for his age. And love hearing all the guys take a turn in a verse. Poor Adam had to do such a long stretch of beatboxing but he nailed it. Think the song is about 8 min. long. Don McLean just received his Hollywood Star on the Walk of Fame recently & Home Free was invited to sing a portion of this song there. What an honor for them.
Don asked them if they wanted to do this.
Ugh. Again...HEADPHONES. HEADPHONES. HEADPHONES!
LOL, You can lead a horse to water....
The amount of hours involved with being able to actually record, has to be astronomical. Let's not forget that Don McLean approached Home Free to do this. I grew up listening to this song. I was born before this song came out, won't get in to how long before, but I remember hearing it on AM radio in a car with never used seatbelts.
This freaked out radio stations. They played it (the whole thing) but it was a struggle.
This was produced during quarantine. They are not in the same state even nevermind the same room in most cases. Just Austin and Tim who are in Nashville. The editing was very creative. Another one like that is Kenny Rodgers "Know When to Hold Them. Know When to Fold Them." Nobody is in the same room for the card game.
This song is a history lesson of popular music from the 50s & 60s. Somewhere on utube there is a breakdown of the meaning. Don McLean requested Home Free's assistance for the 50th Anniversary edition. Beautiful rendition.
Adam has a georgeous tenor voice, but rarelly sings, and when, it's mostley harmonies.
I love that Adam bowed out, when the music (drums) "died" and Don bowed when the song ended. Respectfully tribute to those whom has pased.
Did you noticed, that Tim was singing tenor in this?
And pleas use headphones, you will enjoy a cappella so much more.
Home Free is known for many things, including their AMAZING videos!
This was the second time EVER that Don McLean recorded this song in the studio. Cool, huh?! This past summer Don even invited Home Free to sing it, without him, at the reveal of his star on Hollywood Walk of Fame, and it's never happened before that an artist invited achiever artist to sing their song for the reveal. It says something not only about Don, but also how much he admire and appreciate Home Free.
They've collaborated with many not names at this point, including Kenny Rogers, Charlie Daniels (no video, though), The Oak Ridge Boys, Lee Greenwood (I think Blaine will love that), and many more with more to come, I'm sure.
Thanks for the reaction! 🙏🥰 Keep them coming!
These boys have collaborated with groups like Oke ridge boys, Alabama, Texas Hill, Kenny Rodgers and Lee Greenwood plus all the groups they help to get a leg up in country music and many others they have never forgotten about the struggles they had coming up thay are true believers in paying it forward . Great reaction guys
This makes me so happy & so sad! All in one song! Love Homfree! Thanks for the great reaction!!😂😂😂
I love it when Home Free sings itself with other musicians. This is a great remake and Don still has a fantastic voice. You can easily forget that there are no instruments.
Tim is quite the story teller.he does story time with Tim in their live shows.watch me whip watch me NAE NAE .also beatboxer Adam rupps does a drum solo 🔥🍟❣️
Home Free - Fulsom Prison Blues.
You'll love it.
Yes, Adam, the beatboxer, can also sing in the tenor range and often adds a fifth harmony when needed
Not too long after doing this song with Home Free Don got his star put on the Hollywood Walk of Fame & he had Home Free there with him. Love that.
Don sounded great for 75! Home Free sounded great. Loved the video. Loved the boxes. They reminded me of shadow boxes you keep your memories in. Don was recently given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and he invited Home Free to come to the ceremony and sing the song. Pretty cool. Good reaction boys. I would recommend headphones if you can.
They also did Elvira with the Oak Ridge Boys.......
They did this for the 50th anavisary of the song. Love these guys. All the songs listed will be wonderful, there just aren't any bad ones. For a really fun one try " Butts Remix" melody. Enjoy
This was the 50th Anniversary of this song......
They did this for the 50th anniversary of the song, Don McLean's idea as he wanted to do something special for the 50th anniversary of the song and chose Home Free "Because they know Harmony!"
The beatboxer is Adam Rupp, he and his brother Chris started the group in high school. Check out Adam's beatbox solo, amazing!!
*HEADPHONES OR YOU MISS SO SO SO MUCH*
Please check out “When a Man Loves a Woman” by Home Free! It’s fantastic! High tenor, Austin Brown takes the lead and he is superb!
Yep the Beat Boxer whose name is Adam Rupp sings occassionaly and is pretty good too.
Don Mclean asked them to release a new version for the 50th anniversary of the song....
And when you realize they have performed with Kenny Rogers, Alabama, Oakridge Boys usually at the others request and not them asking. Oh let’s not forget Lee Greenwood
If you like hearing original artists who have collaborated with Home Free, you might like HF's version of "God Bless the USA" with composer/original singing artist Lee Greenwood & Home Free in collaboration with The United States Air Force Band, and Singing Sergeants. HF with the Oakridge Boys' "Elvira" and Kenny Rodgers (shortly before his death) "Children Go Where I Send Thee". They went all Fan boys when they worked with these country super stars. BTW Tim Foust has a 5 octave range and Chance the baritone has a 4 octave range. Check out their cover of "Mayday" to get an idea of what these particular abilities can mean to the group's flexibility. Love your reaction so far.
great reaction guys. another song you should check out by Homefree is God Bless the USA featuring Lee Greenwood and the Unites States Air Force band. Lee Greenwood original did the song back in the 1980s..
I think the age in Don McLean's voice only adds to the poignancy of the song. I remember when it first came out (yeah - I'm that old) a local radio stn. - on request- would send the meaning of each of the lyrics. This song is so deep that it's little wonder Mr. McLean is a legend. Love your reactions and commentaries!
P.S. - One of the things I love about Adam Rupp (beatboxer) is that he never adds unnecessary things - his 'drumming' is so precise and just perfect for each song. There are live videos of him doing a beatboxing performance during Home Free shows.
This is such an awesome song! Love your reaction!!! Please … you must listen to Home Free with head set or ear buds on. You are missing so much!!!!
You really need to see them collaborate with The oak ridge boys of Elvira!
You guys are so fun, I am so glad you found HF, and all of us Home Fries found you! Thank you! 👍🤗
Great as always try MY CHURCH and HILBILY BONE have fun
They did a collaboration with KENNY ROGERS...Children Go Where I Send Thee.
Forgot to mention that they have also done collaborations with Alabama, Kenny Rogers, and the Oak Ridge Boys. For an original song, check out Dreamer which shows them onstage at the Grand Ole Opry. And for more beatboxing...Adam Rupp has several vidéos on UA-cam that were recorded at live concerts where he does drumming and/or beatboxing solos.
Great Channel guys. I'm down the wormhole of your Home Free reactions. Really entertaining seeing you guys hear their stuff for the first time.
I'm a new subscriber love you guys! I've been at home fry for many a year actually seen them live in concert I got to see Adam Rupp's drum solo
HEADPHONES HEADPHONES 😂🕳🐇
Great reaction, thank you!! I seldom hear reactors comment on how seamlessly Tim and Chance (Adam Chance, the first soloist in this video) trade off the bass. While Tim sings his solo parts Chance is carrying the bass. They fascinate me, they do it so smoothly. I'm looking forward to more! Thanks again!
When you get headsets I recommend going back and listen to the ones you didn’t have headsets for it looked to me like you didn’t hear Tim’s phenomenal octave drop in man of constant sorrow. Wouldn’t wAnt you to miss the subwoofer
Okay, I'll adopt you -- move to Austin TX, alright? Keep up the reactions for us Home Fries 🍟
Hi from Florida. I'm new to your channel but I'm really enjoying your Home Free adventure. Thank you.
They just never miss on a song. The Beat boxer is fire.
Love you guys... I too am from the North East.. of America .. started out in New England.. now Im down in Philadelphia! New Sub here.. You will enjoy watching Adam Rupp the beatboxer sing on a few songs.. most notably Home Frees's cover of How Great Thou Art.. done in the Alps when they were there.... I would suggest Headphones or earbuds of some sort.. I have heard they really do make a difference when listening to Home Free.. Stay safe, guys. and Thanks for all you do!
Loved it thank you.
Great reaction! If you want to see a brilliant video, check out their cover of Meet in the Middle. It was filmed in quarantine but, it's a masterpiece!
They also do Lee Greenwood and them doing his song and Billy Gilman singing One Voice with them. But One Voice will make you cry.
If you haven’t learned our boy’s names yet, listen up; you already know the bassest of basses, Tim Foust, but you may not recognize him. He had his hair cut, tears, during the recent forced hiatus and let it go to natural, yea; handsome guy in leather and hat is Adam Chance, aka Chance, the newest man and the resident baritone, although he climbs into tenorville and sinks to bassdom . The two tenors are Rob Lunguist, low tenor with the magnificent beard, and Austen Brown, high tenor, and the group’s ‘heartthrob’ according to Tim. And, of course, you already know and love the heart beat of HF and ‘freak of nature’, Adam Rupp, aka Adam, one of the founding members and a beautiful baritone in his own right. I think he’s a tenor, he seldom gets a chance to sing so I could be wrong 😑
With that, I’ve subscribed and look forward to more reactions as you fall down the rabbit hole called Home Free.
Don McLean asked them to collab with him for the 50th anniversary of the songs original release.
I don't know if you know who guys are. The one that started singing is Adam Chance baritone (goes by Chance). Next Austin Brown the sky high tenor (long curly hair). Rob Lundquist lead tenor (beard and glasses). Tim Foust the super bass. And the beatboxer is Adam Rupp the only founding member of the group, around since 2000. He actually all most passed out while doing this song. Enjoyed watching your reactions to this song.
You would love their cover of Elvira with the Oak Ridge Boys.
During COVID19 Quarantine they each filmed their own part and sent it all to their producer put it together.
I call them a "Boy Band" for grown ups! 😁😁😁♥️
For consumate singing and comedy watch Workin' for a Livin'. Adam (beat boxer) absolutely smokes on a "harmonica" solo.
Great reaction! This was such a great collaboration!
Too really appreciate Tim's (or Chance's) low notes you really should listen to their music with headphones on...
Subbed btw! I'd recommend reacting to Hillbilly Bone, Folsom Prison Blues and Crazy .
Home Free had to be uber creative during the lockdown. They each had to film separately and then put them together like they're all in one stage. AmPie is one of them. See if you can figure out which ones they were as some of them were obvious and others may not be. How about our Basso Profundo Tim Foust, singing in quite a higher register. Thanks for reacting.
I’ve y’all! Keep the reactions coming!
New Subscriber! I love your Home Free reactions, I've seen them live and they are just as incredible. They have so many incredible covers and originals, but one that doesn't get enough reactions is a cover of Woman/Amen-Female (a mashup of two songs) and one of their originals, Timeless. I hope to watch you react to those two, I really enjoy your reactions.
Hello Gents from across the "pond"!!! Happy New Year!!
I've really enjoyed your reactions to my favorite group "Home Free".
I've been watching your "baptism" into this wild and wonderful thing called Home Free - Welcome to my new brother Home Fries!!
We have to be distant cousins of some sort since my family tree goes back to the UK.
Would love to visit when traveling becomes a bit less hectic. We've been opening up a little more in the States but then Omicron
(the rat bastard) paid us a visit and some states are tightening back up a bit. I live in the deep south (Georgia - Named after King George) So I guess that kinda relates us!!! LOL
I appreciate your reactions to Home Free and here's a shout to all the Home Fries to support these guys channel!!
RichieC (Atlanta GA)
You need to check their collaboration with Oak Ridge Boys "Elvira" - So Fun
Check out their version of 9-5 live! For the funny side, All About That Bass, Butts Medley, Sea Shanty Medley, Working For A Living, Never Gonna Give You Up, I Swear. (I swear I could list more!)
Great reaction. It is a long song and they all did very well. Thank you for a great reaction.
they said they won't sing this in concert because it just about killed adam. they've also said they can never be a boy band because they can't dance, at all. it's practically a character trait
Another Quarantine video shot in their individual homes and compiled into a video. HF released a video every two weeks or so during the entire quarantine and their fans were exceedingly grateful and supportive. HF learned to be innovative and nimble during the pandemic and they all developed side projects, Thanks for the review.
This collaboration seems extra special. Iconic song, with original artist, meaningful song, so well done. I’ve listened a bunch of times. Still I got goosebumps again, listening during this reaction.
They have also recorded songs with the Oak Ridge Boys and also Kenny Rogers (A Christmas song). Their videos are simple and stunning. They also have a lot of hilarious videos. But the music videos they put out during covid (quarantined from each other) are fabulously unique. You have just scratched the surface of their talent. I'm really enjoying your Home Free adventure. Keep it going!💞
New subscriber. I recommend Folsum Prison Blues, Bless The Broken Road and of course The Butts Medley. Great reaction!
You should watch God Bless The USA with Lee Greenwood and the singing sergeants. Lee out does himself on this song that he wrote and sang in the 80's
I think you would get more out of this if used headphones
Just subbed for more Home Free. If you want to hear Adam Rupp (beatboxer) sing, react to How Great Thou Art.
You guys need some good quality headphones so you can really hear how amazing they are!
Thanks for this. It's been a year since you reacted. I'm not sure if you are still doing Home Free. If you haven't done Children Go Where I Send Thee with Home Free and Kenny Rogers, be sure you do. Cool, cool arrangement and vibe to it! American Pie Don wrote from various tragedies in his life and America's life in the late '60s/early '70s, added so many pieces that made people think and try to figure out what he meant. He wrote about the music dying, but he was also talking about the Kennedy and MLK assassinations, about the Vietnam war and all the dying during that time. Then the young soldiers would come home and they were met with protests and anger and shootings on campuses with the National Guard over the war. It was a very hard 10 years to live through. I was a freshman when JFK was killed and then my husband later was in Vietnam for 14.5 months. It was just a hard time and Don's song became something of an anthem then. The radio versions were just part of this 8 mins, more like the normal 3.5 mins or so. But this was such a special moment to have Home Free asked by Don to arrange and sing this with him. Thanks so much for your great reactions! Hope you are still doing them. Take care.
🥰🥰🔥
They are a great vocal group.. They do have a funny side to them…. Check out there “Hone Free’s, Guilty Pleasures Hilariously derailed” video…. That video they are in (Austin’s) home town……
It was such a long song, Adam Rupp dang near collapsed after beatboxing all that time.
I love the UK. My years stationed there I left having many new brothers and sisters. Happy New Year to you both. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🍻 You may like "God Bless the USA" WITH Lee Greenwood ft. Home Free and the United States Air Force Band...
If Buddy Holly was too long ago for you to have heard his music. Please listen to some of his recorded hits. You're in for a treat
New sub. I'm enjoying your journey with Home Free. I think you would enjoy their collaboration with the Oak Ridge Boys doing "Elvira"
Enjoying your videos friends..I would suggest Welcome to the Revolution by Hi Rez and Jimmy Levy or America by Tom Macdonald and The Patriot by Adam Calhoun. All 3 are amazing songs to react to. Blessings to you and yours 🇺🇲🇬🇧

..
I wish they’d do McLeans “Vincent.”
My mother owned this on vinyl. Halfway through the song there was a fade out, and you had to flip it over for the rest of the song. You guys might get a kick out of the group Voice Play, and their song Boybands in 5 Minutes. They are a fun acapella group that got their original exposure with Home Free on the same season of Sing Off. They arrange songs for each other sometimes.
Auto correct got me again.🤣
Re: green card, we would if we could
Behind the Scenes how this was produced
ua-cam.com/video/BNsBjr86eDE/v-deo.html
Adam can sing but prefers to beatbox.
