    Great reaction...Tim not only shakes the floor...when you see them live his bass shakes your chairs and he is known for blowing out a speaker! I saw the ORB in 2019 and they are still as great as they ever were! That shirt they all signed....Austin has it framed and hanging in his house!

    • @barefootalien
      @barefootalien 3 роки тому +2

      Right? When I saw them in Prescott also in 2019 (first show of the Dive Bar Saints tour!), Tim made my hair tickle and my chest ache with resonant vibrations... but to my surprise, more than a few times, so did Adam Rupp!
      Not to mention, during those notes, I couldn't see a thing, between my eyeballs and my glasses vibrating so hard, lol

  • @katebuzard1823

    I love how Joe Bonsall seemed so proud of Austin, especially on 🎶 we're gonna fiiiiiiind that Preacher man🎶. Joe put his hand above Austin, like he was either saying, "the winner." or like he was saying "this kid is incredible!" I've listened to this version of Elvira more times than I can count. I've also caught myself doing some of the hand motions with them. Lol
    Please react to more Home Free! I have a couple ideas if you do.

    This was the Oak Ridge Boys biggest hit from the 1980's....it was a crossover hit that gained great acclaim for the boys......and Home Free was opening act for TORB a number of years ago, so they know each other very well. Love your analysis at the end, thank you

    Intro to the Oak Ridge Boys: Joe Bonsail (mustache) is the lead, Duane Allen (blond) is the tenor, William Lee Golden (beard) is the baritone, the legendary Richard Sterban is the bass.

    • @2978Jennifer
      @2978Jennifer 2 роки тому +3

      Actually, Joe's the tenor, Duane Allen is the lead, and yes William Lee Golden (The mountain man with the bread) is the Baritone and of course Richard Sterban is who I like to call the King Bass. I loved the Oaks since 1989 and I about five when I liked their music and I loved them ever since. Home Free is now my new favorite and can't wait see where they go from here.

    • @2978Jennifer

    Awesome review! Very observant - there is a mutual admiration society comprised of the Oakridge Boys and HF and especially between Austin Brown and Joe Bonsall. HF was also highly admired by the late Country legend Kenny Rogers. See their collaboration Children Go Where I Send Thee.

    Whoa! I didn't actually notice until your second time through (and probably my 35th) that not only does Adam have a _gorgeous_ brush kit sound, at 6:01 or so he even has rim clicks snuck in there! Such an amazing beatboxer...
    Most beatboxers work their whole careers to get _one_ good snare sound. He has like, five. For like, brushed, rim click, piccolo, full snare, and techno snare. (Pff snare, tongue click, the crispest spit snare in the universe, kh snare, and pft snare, respectively, I believe)

    Joe Bonsall is the tenor for the Oaks. He's a big fan of Austin's & vice versa. If you remember from "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem", Joe was really enjoying Austin's solo. As you probably know. "Beautiful Star" was from the Chrismas show they did. There was a bit in the show where you see Tim talking to Joe & to Duane Allen (the other Oak who did a solo in this one) One of the things they talked about was how the Oaks had sort of been mentors to HF & how appreciative HF was of that. I've been a fan of the Oak Ridge Boys for years so I love it when they collaborate with HF. Enjoyed your video!

    Hope you'll react to 'can't stop the feeling' too! Or their Butts remix... it's so much fun and a great listen! Or if you want low notes maybe 'everybody walking this land' or 'flowers on the wall' (songs they made in quarentine)

    Liked the non fmality, chrmistry, and minded me of being priveledged through sitting and listening to old blues anfd country atrtist just sitting and jamming. At. A loal dive or waering hole after groups or individuals finished nights gigsOld friend used to be blues and jazz played with best but quit cuz drugs wereb killing him
    Anytime one of old grpups played locally we went.
    zUpon recogmitoon he playrf damn near any instrument from juice harp to all drums , they wpuld call him to stage introduce and metimes let him play
    But it was later after bar closed , the rpopm purple hazy, drinks flowing
    That music went crazy
    it was the music that talked and I heard riffs and licks that were nevrr put to wax as one started jam amd others floated in and out
    get same vibes freling between., IMHO was there betweem old greats wand this generations up anf coming greats
    Not a competition just music doulong the talking.

    If you want something a little different to react to... You could try reacting to one of Slim Dusty's songs...
    The only problem is when he died, he was working on his 106 album, so it's very difficult to suggest any one song...
    His 3 biggest sellers were *Pub with no beer,* *Duncan,* & *Lights on the hill* but I think the title track from his 💯 album *"Looking forward, looking back"* is one of his best.

    I liked that you got so lost in the performance, that you forgot to take notes. 😁
    Some points of interest... I believe you mentioned listening to some VoicePlay in one of your other videos. Geoff Castellucci, their bass, arranged this for Home Free.
    If you want to see some casual interaction with The Oaks and Home Free, this BTS video has a bit near the end: ua-cam.com/video/pX92vDQ6kG0/v-deo.html
    I also thought it might be interesting to mention that since The Oak Ridge Boys typically perform with a backing band, Richard Sterban (their bass), is typically singing lyrics, while Tim (since Home Free is a cappella) is serving as the bass "instrument" (when not singing leads 😁) You made a comment about them trading off/blending in "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem," but they're really not, since Richard is singing the lyrics with the rest of The Oaks and Tim is holding down the bass line throughout.
