the song isn't actually about gambling, it's a metaphor for life!
They released this as a Tribute to Kenny after he passed. They did a collab with Kenny Rodgers in "Children Go Where I sent Thee", which is also amazing and a true high energy bopper of a song, although for Christmas, it is just that good.
You wrote what I was going to write 😉
I would love to see your reaction to their collab. It's like church, in the best way.
When I saw that one I sent it to everyone I could think of. Amazing!
Absolutely awesome, good advice
Wait what? I need to find that collab now.
You'd love an old country group called the Oak Ridge Boys. They harmonize like this, and their bass singer gets LOOOWWWWW. They have a song called Elvira from the early 80's and recently, Home Free and the Oak Ridge Boys recorded it together?
❤️❤️
100% support this suggestion! Loved the Oak Ridge Boys.
Better yet, listen to the collaboration between HF and The Oak Ridge Boys doing Elvira. It's like the old men passing on advice to the young guys. They look like they had SO MUCH fun doing. You get to hear both basses. You'll love it.
and they didn't use autotune to make great harmonies back then.
Oh, Lord no! Not Elvira... The Achey Breaky Heart of the 80s...
Try the Statler Brothers. HUGE on the 70s.
If you like the beatboxing (Adam Rupp), listen to their Doobie Brothers cover of "Listen to the Music".
Adam is making the sound of cards shuffling. Love it.
Tribute to Kenny for sure when your realize it took Home Frees' two stellar bass singers and all the rest of the guys voices (layered) to begin to replicate Kenny's version. Taking nothing away from Home Free here. I'm a bona fide Home Fry, just giving big props to the marvelous Kenny Rogers. RIP good sir.
My name is Mark...that is my wife in the picture...she is a fantastic pianist from Argentina, and I help her with her videos. Anyway, I was brought up going to a Catholic school and from an early age sang in the choir for maybe 5 years. We had boys and girls, and most pieces were 6- or 8-part harmonies along with a massive Pipe organ. Needless to say, harmonies became a thing for me for all my life! In late 2016 I saw Pentatonix in San Jose Ca. and have been a huge fan, but you introduced me to Homefree and I feel like a big thank you is appropriate here.
They collaborated with Kenny the song is called " Children go where I send thee " Kenny reached out to them! 🥰 if you check out that video make sure you listen to the end of the video
If you haven't yet reacted to Home Free's cover to Boys ll Men End of the road, it's Amazing. Also their covers to The O'Jay's Love train and The Doobie Brothers Listen to the music 🎶
HF always puts their style on everything they cover and make it their own
AN ABSOLUTE MUST HEAR is Home free's cover of "Seven Bridges Road"... If you loved this video, that one will give you total body shivers!
The Eagles, Home free... God's gift to Music!
For Fun, They also teamed up with the Oak Ridge Boys to perform "Elvira". The Beatbox Guy worked overtime in it!
Oh, that's an amazing Eagles song! I need to go listen to the Home Free version now.
Ya gotta listen to them sing unchained melody and when a man loves a woman
Ok... How about Home Free's cover of *How Great Thou Art* next? Please.
Britt knows harmonies from heaven when she hears it because she's an angel 😇
They performed with Kenny Rogers as I see was commented on previously, but the respect shown to him by Home Free and the appreciation Kenny had for them was heart warming. I think Kenny would have been proud of this cover in his honor. I absolutely love Home Free. They are becoming legendary in their own right. Their talent and skills are insane. Adam Rupp the beat boxer is Home Frees' secret weapon. I love your reactions and have become a fan of yours. It's so nice to watch someone who truly enjoys what they are doing. Thanks. Great reaction.
They have several songs with stunning harmonies. My Fav at the moment is I Can't Outrun You. The dark harmonies just take over your senses.
Britt, they are fire! wow. End of the road will blow you away as will When a man loves a woman.
I have never heard of these guys but I’m impressed!
Try Helplessly Hoping…How Great Thou Art… so many!
Thanks for the "two-fer!" This is one of HF's quarantine videos -- recorded in their respective homes and then assembled by their sound engineer. You hit the nail on the head when you said "it's so full...you can't stop finding things to hear." That's always the case with HF (and Pentatonix and VoicePlay.) This is just your 2nd HF reaction! They have SOOOOOOO much more great music waiting for you to discover!!! Their cover of "When a Man Loves a Woman" ( ua-cam.com/video/-pygPmfGQvU/v-deo.html ) was released on Valentine's Day two years ago...maybe you can schedule it for one of your Valentine's Day 2023 reactions? Many people consider this to be the all-time best cover of this song...and even better than Percy Sledge's 1966 original.
welcome to the Home Free fan club, the home fries. The Home free hole goes deep
Do the same thing with How Great Thou Art with Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill live version as the comparison with Home Free.
Home Free is ridiculous........ AMAZING EVERY TIME they are just stupid good 🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥
You just have to hear when a man loves a woman by Home Free it's epic
Love your reaction and I subscribed. Yes, they have the best harmonies. Home Free did this as a tribute to Kenny when he passed away. They did a song with him called Children Go Where I Send Thee that’s fire too. Others I love - How Great Thou Art, Helplessly Hoping, Brothers in Arms, One Man Band, Die a Happy Man. So many! 🥰 Keep going down the rabbit hole, you won’t be disappointed.
I think the line about “every hands a winner, every hands a loser & the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep” isn’t about gambling, just a metaphor for life, the whole song is
You should check out when they joined up with Kenny Rogers for Children Go Where I Send Thee 💗
These guys are amazing & always put a smile on my face. They were very creative during quarantine. This was recorded in their separate homes & then edited together. They did a great job of this song & nice tribute to Kenny Rogers. And Adam was awesome as usual with his vocal percussion. The lyrics are talking about learning life lessons & uses gambling as a metaphor.
Such an excellent cover. And that bass voice….wowser!!!
You really should go down this rabbit hole. Home Free is complete fire! I would suggest:
Bless the Broken Road
Listen to the Music
Unchained Melody
When A Man Loves A Woman
One Man Band
Love Train
Hillbilly Bone
Mayday
Home Free never fails to amaze. And on a side note, your smile is intoxicating. 😄
Home Free favorites at the moment. The Butts Remix….How Great Thou Art…..Helplessly Hoping
This video was filmed during the Pandemic. It's Home Free's tribute to a Legend.
Britt--For more heavenly Home Free harmonies, check out: "How Great Thou Art" , "Crazy", "When a Man Loves A Woman", and "Auld Lang Syne"
Agreed! And not forgetting Helplessly Hoping!
Enjoying your reviews. Keep up t he good work.
One of their best Covers.
Hi Britt, Or should I say Hi "Home Fry?" Home Free is "THE BOMB!!!" I'm surprised you still haven't reacted to their cover of Boyz II Men's "END OF THE ROAD" it is an absolute "BANGER!!!" Please react to it, you'll be glad you did & you'll thank me later!!! Sincerely, CR SoundDoctor
So Now; you need to listen to Home Free with The Oak Ridge Boys, singing Elvira.
Home Free has a diverse collection of music. They aren't afraid to get silly from time to time. Always entertaining. You should try their song Brother.
You mam ..........seriously beautiful. no disrespect i saw the ring what a lucky lucky man
Great reaction to a great song by a great group!!!
Can you tell that Austin grew up in Georgia and travelled some with his dad, who was a southern gospel singer? Also, filmed in their homes separately during covid.
If you are impressed with the beatboxing, find a drum solo by Adam Rupp here on UA-cam and watch it (we'd love to watch it with you). He is award-winning and does a solo at their concerts. It's hard to believe it's all without props until you see him...alone...all by yourself. Jaw dropping!
They are an amazing group the way they all blend their harmonies together its out if this world. The beat boxer is phenomenal I just watched a live concert with them from you tube and the best boxer was on stage while the others were changing and he played every sound a drum made and there's no drums it was all his voice I was sitting there in awe just watching .I bet seeing them I'm concert is definitely amazing they did a great tribute to Kenny Roger's here sounds just how Kenny would sing it...
Check out the sing from them American pie they actually sing with the original singer don McClean and this guy is 76 yrs old and still sounds good especially with home free singing with along too..
Here's a solo of the beat boxer singing as if he was really playing the drums

It's so nice to have channels like yours! Such a nice relief from all the crazy anymore ‼️🤗❤ And you appreciation for A capella is lovely 😍 👌if you haven't listened to " Children go where I send thee" Kenny Rogers and Home Free, do it‼️🤗❤
don't know if you caught the message in the song - that gambler passed away on the train.....he died in his sleep.
I love Home Free so much!!!!
Always more Home Free reactions
You have to listen and react to Homefree
's Sea Shanty Song and the Butts Remix...great songs!!!
You gotta love Kenny Rogers and his music.
But Damn!!
Home Free took this song to another level.
You have got to love them! Love your reaction!
Hi Britt! If you like Kenny and Home Free you have to listen to this one. Kenny Rogers - Children, Go Where I Send Thee (feat. Home Free). Listen completely through the end of the recording because Kenny explains how he met Home Free. It's great!
If you'd like harmonies from heaven, react to How Great Thou Art and Go Rest High on that Mountain! Peter Hollins features Home Free on his rendition of Amazing Grace!
You need to watch their video of "American Pie". They had always thought about doing it, then Don McClean reached out to them to record with them for the 50th anniversary of the original release. It does justice to the original, lets Mr McClean shine, and showcases their harmony.
If you would like a master class in harmony, try their versions of How Great Thou Art and Helplessly Hoping. 5 perfect voices in perfect harmony. Absolutely amazing.
My favorites!
The son is a metaphor for life.
🔥🎼🔥🎼🔥 okay Confusion .. there is something you need to let wash over you .. that is almost every Country Music song from the early days , is about life. This song is not about a card game or gambling .. it is about dealing with the hard times and good times in life. Every song you react to from Kenny Rogers - Merle Haggard - George Jones - Reba MacIntyre- Hank Williams - Emmylou Harris - George Strait - Willie Nelson - Johnny Cash - Patsy Cline .. and the other legends , is about life. Just told in a story we all can share. .. but just know , I really like your reactions !! 🗝🎼🗝
Kenny and Home Free had a wonderful collaboration late in Kenny's life..."Children Go Where I Send Thee" (Kenny had only recently learned of Home Free). Also, highly recommend Home Free's rendition of "How Great Thou Art"; astounding harmonies amid a spectacular setting.
"And somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even. And in his final words I found an ace that I could keep" as he passes away always hits hard for me. I played cards for a living for about 15 years, and this song is just beautifully written in my opinion. The Home Free rendition of this song is just so good. The whole song is an anthem for gamblers but they elevated it and it wasn't until hearing their version I actually picked up on all the lyrics :P
You're crushing the content lately, love it!
We have second row center tickets for the show coming up in Charleston SC. I can't wait!!
You’re gonna die when you hear their version of “Helplessly Hoping” from Crosby Stills & Nash. ❤
Our dear Kenny Rogers is now in heavens choir. Please please please check out his song, "Goodbye".
Just perfect! This song has always felt so deep and not talking about poker but life in general.. amazing cover too, of course =)
Such a great idea to listen to the original version before the remake. So many reactors listen to these without knowing where it came from. They miss out on a lot of the creative involved. Home Free also tend to not rearrange songs from the iconic artists. In respect for the legend. They have also done a Christmas song with Kenny, himself, called Children Go Where I Send Thee.
One iconic song they did rearrange a little is Elvira. They actually recorded their version, with the legendary Oak Ridge Boys.
She did listen to Kenny’s version first. It should be in her in her video list right before this one. She listened to them in the same sitting.
Beautiful!
You should really try Adam Rupp's "Drum Solo "...
Did you know that Johnny Cash actually wrote this song but his performance never "took" but Kenny Rodgers made a hit out of it. I love how Home Free does this and any song they do. Great reaction Britt, as always.
Johnny Cash did record “The Gambler,” but it was written by Don Schlitz.
The beatboxer (Adam Rupp) has been beatboxing for 23 plus years. He has won several Big competitions. I heard somewhere that he won a few World Competitions. You should check out some of his "Drum Solos" if you do start with the one in the plaid shirt. It was one of his earlier solos. Have fun.
OH and... I almost forgot... Home Free and Kenny together covering *Children Go Where I Send Thee!*
Welcome, Home Fry. You only have about 150 more songs to go. Try Home free (featuring Don McClean, the original writer and singer) of "American Pie" ...........New subscriber. That means you have to play the song. 🤣
You got this song so right
This song is a metaphor.
I suggest you react to Home Free and Kenny's collaboration "Children, Go Where I Send Thee"
Yeah, Homefree is great! The harmonies perfect! :)
Btw, have you ever done a reaction to VoicePlay?
"The Gambler" is a great storysong. I do it myself. ;)
It's always great to watch you, enjoying the music! :)
"Its a hard way to make and easy living." Their is a documentary called "All In". If your want to know what it was really like, have a watch. Amarillo Slim, the real deal Gambler.
Home free “How Great Thou Art”
If you like harmonies, you should give Helplessly Hoping from them
Got Here!
You need to do a reaction to Home Frees version of, Do You Hear What I Here. It's phenomenal.
Britt, great reaction. HF has done four videos that are 5 part harmonies with no beatboxing which are probably their finest A cappella performances: How Great Thou Art, Helplessly Hoping, Brothers in Arms, and Auld Lang Syne. I don't believe any group or band has ever hand better richer harmonies than HF. They are the GOAT when it comes to the richest harmonies!
Have you reacted to their Butts Medley yet?
If not, you gotta!!!!!
Yes!!!!!!
This was the first time I have ever heard "The Gambler" from Home Free.
That was indeed very good!
I would say that it was a better tribute to Kenny Rogers than their version of "Ring of Fire" was to Johnny Cash.
Great reaction!
I have purposely not listened to Home Free's cover of this song, because there are certain people that are hard to cover. Kenny Rogers is one of those. I love Home Free, but this is Kenny's song.
Good morning Miss Brett ! If you want to hear these guys harmonize some more, got two suggestions just from 2022...both covers... The Driver & also a Dolly Parton song that is just gorgeous, From here to the moon and back. Both videos are also awesome so you may want to listen to both of them after reacting just to hear the harmonies.
Home Free "when a man loves a women" you must listen to that one. Unbelievable
This song played on the radio so much that I got so tired of it. But of all the millions of times I’ve heard it, I never understood that the gambler “breaking even” was him dying in his sleep! Duh. Lol.
You need to check out their story time videos. They are funny stories onstage while on tour.
I recommend their covers of Elvira with The Oak Ridge Boys, Hillbilly Bone, Helplessly Hoping, Folsom Prison Blues, and Brother.
Adam the beatboxer does it partially done by being a two time Beat Box champion !!!
You really need to see a different side of Home Free. Check out "Everybody Walkin' This Land" very different and beautiful message at very end.
you should react to HomeFree ft Kenny Rogers "Children, Go Where I Send Thee"
For a truly uplifting spiritual moment. Home Free “How Great Thou Art” give it a listen.
Remember, this isn't about gambling or poker.. it's about life..
You have got to check out voiceplay cover of the beach Boys in my room. The harmonies are incredible
Check out Home Free's "When A Man Loves A Woman" cover. Please?
Pretty please, with sugar on top, can you do their "Butts Remix"? It's a medley of 6 or 7 country, rap, and rock songs. Simply amazing.
React to Home Free
Cover The O'Jays
LOVE TRAIN
For some great fun that you will really enjoy check out their beatboxer Adam Rupp drum solo its a live performance check out the one where he is in the red shirt definitely won't regret God bless
Adam's "red-shirt drum solo" is here: ua-cam.com/video/EanKWLUaDpg/v-deo.html 🙂
These guys just have it figured out. Take any song and it seems that they instinctively know how to restyle it with their voices. And think of the money they save - guitars, drums, keyboards and amps aren’t cheap.
For a taste of a completely different style of four part harmony, you should check out The Statler Brothers, a 60s southern gospel quartet who crossed over and became 70s & 80s country superstars. Try their songs Elizabeth, Bed of Roses or More Than A Name On A Wall, a touching tribute to our brothers who never made it home from Viet Nam. Love your reactions and that sweet grin.
AND -- there's an opportunity for another "two-fer!" Watch The Statler Brothers perform their 1965 Grammy-winning song "Flowers on the Wall" ( ua-cam.com/video/W6DmeR9a6ig/v-deo.html ) and then see how Home Free covered it (at home, during COVID quarantine) 55 years later - ua-cam.com/video/p1AA1Qswmh4/v-deo.html
@@rcinsley I’ve seen them but I’ll watch them again right now. Thanks Corker. My youngest daughter’s first concert was the Statlers and she’s now 32 and likes a broad spectrum of music but she also has quite a few Statler songs on her phone’s playlist.
Hey Brit, I have few other Kenny Rogers videos I think you'd enjoy reacting too.
1: Coward Of the County
2: Lady (Live)
Definitely Lady
if you want harmonies - listen to home free Helplessly Hoping !
