Funny Original song “Champagne Tastes on a Beer Budget” or cover “All About that Bass”. Or more serious original “Dive Bar Saints” or cover “Blue Ain’t Your Color”. Wonderful collaboration with the Oak Ridge Boys in their famous song “Elvira”, too. Take your pick

All of those are on my list except a couple which I fully plan on doing on my own in the near future. Elvira I feel is going to be topping the list soon.

The rooster is in many of their early videos. It's on the bar in "All About That Bass".

Before I discovered Home Free, I loved all of this music with the instruments. Now, when I hear one on the car radio, they just don't do it for me because I miss the 'vocal' instrumentals of Adam and the other vocal combinations with him. Crazy good!! The chicken was a Chris thing, it went with him. We always had fun trying to figure out where that thing would be hiding in a video!! Thanks for the reactions! You are an official Home Fry, welcome to the rabbit hole! How Great Thou Art is absolutely beautiful.

That happens a lot, I find. Some songs when done just right, a cappella, can sound more complex, and impressive than the originals that you know. And nothing wrong that. Gotta give credit when it is due.

I think I've seen some people requesting "Mayday". Since you're new to the Home Free rabbit hole (and in case you haven't reacted to it already), I'd recommend you to wait and listen to more of their other songs first, so that you can fully appreciate what they did there. Oh and btw, "Quarantine" is very fun to watch and listen to!

Other fun videos: *Hillbilly Bone *Good Ol' Boy Good Time *Summer In The Country *Meet In The Middle *9 to 5 (both the original video and a live recording, please (they give a little bonus there)) *California Country

9 to 5 I promise is coming very soon. It should have been done by now, but my recording schedule got a little mixed up. The others will be added to my little (Its big) spreadsheet. And yeah, that sounds like a plan to do both original and live.

A few more good time songs are Hillbilly Bone, All About That Bass, and an original called Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget! It's no joke, Home Free has a song for pretty much any mood or genre. They may be called the only country all vocal band, but they're so much more. They are silly, serious, funky, socially aware, and above all, humble and helpful. Your reactions are fantastic, keep it up! ❤

Home Free is the dynamic quintet that can sing 🎶 all genre of music. They are the best. Their secret weapon Adam Rupp does not shy away from any musical instrument. Though famous for the harmonica. Home Free fans are never tired of watching 👀 there videos. Austin has quite a bit of solos on his KZread channel and Tim has an album titled The Best I Can Do. The kept us the fans entertained all through the quarantine.

So the chicken has a vital part in most videos from All About That Bass until shortly before Chris left. He bought it as a prop for All About That Bass and decided to hide it in future videos. The Home Fries would spend hours re-watching the videos over and over again to find in. It's in almost all of the videos during that era, but not all. In some videos it's easy to find it, in others it's more difficult. It was a fun game that had the Fries interact with each other while getting the video views up, and it has a big post in the early friendships formed within the community. In this video they did it as a joke. 😁 Thanks for another great reaction!

So, while Chris was with the group, they had a chicken or rooster in their videos as an Easter egg. The ending was the "hidden" chicken/rooster in this song . As for the duo of Adam and Tim, I think you are 110% correct. Adam is amazing solo and Tim is otherworldly alone but together they become heavenly. What I love about Home Free is that the effect would not be as strong without the whole package. I like each of them solo but find them together hitting another level. I've heard other beatboxers that might have more sounds (only the best out there) then Adam, but the way he sits within the song and plays for the group makes him special. While Adam has an amazing solo you can find on YT, there might be other beatboxers I'd be more inclined to pay for a solo performance from but I do not believe any of them would slip into Adams role for Home Free and I would prefer to pay for any group with Adam as the vocal percussion over any of those other beatboxers. I think they all have solo songs out there (not sure about Adam, but know Chris left to do solo work, Tim has solo work, Chance has solo work, and Austin has solo work... now that I think about it, I haven't seen any Rob solo work... not to say he doesn't have it as I'm relatively new to HF). For me it's the chemistry and blending that make them so special.

Yes, you definitely do want to do "Do You Hear What I Hear" once Christmastime rolls around. Adam Rupp arranged it and it is incredible. When he first brought it to them, they all thought it was too complex to actually do, then decided to record it, but thought it was too difficult to attempt live in concert. They now do it in concerts. When you do react to it, be sure to read his introduction to it in the video description. He had specific reasons for the musical choices he made in the arrangement -- a message he wanted to convey. Every time I listen to it, I find something new and my respect for him just increases. I guess he's done a number of arrangements, but most of them have just been too hard for them to pull off. The only other one I know he did that they recorded was "Honey I'm Good". I can't remember if you've watched that one, but I love the Groundhogs Day feel to it.

It would be very fitting, even though I should have suggested it sooner since you’ve already recorded your videos for the weekend. It’s a sweet video and if you do react to it even late, stay tuned at the end when the guys show up in the video, too. They also show their love for their moms, too. I loved your reaction.

Do yourself a favor and get yourself a timer or a clock and stop hitting the pause button every 10 seconds, especially if you are going to stop a song and make a bland statement like "This is a good mashup". Take at least 30 seconds between pauses, unless you have something important to say about the song or artist. Imagine that your viewer is like you and is seeing the video for the first time. Constant pausing breaks up the continuity of the song or video and makes it less pleasing for the viewer.

Hey Jesse, I don't think I'm going to take your advice on that. There are plenty of reactors that do this, and I don't understand why you would want all reactors to do the same thing. I'm not hitting the pause button out of some sense of needing to stop the video every so often. I'm pressing the pause button to give my reaction, because, uh I'm reacting to it. I'm sorry that I'm not saying the same things as everybody else, but I'm giving my genuine thoughts of what I think of the song. Much like you want me to imagine something from my viewers perspective (which is wrong, and I'll tell you why), imagine recording this from a reactors perspective. Sometimes you can't just hold on to your thoughts until the end. As for why your wrong. No, I will not imagine my viewer is watching the video for the first time, because that's stupid. Nobody is going to watch a reaction video before they watch the original. You've already watched it. You know what's there. You know what's coming. If you want to watch somebody on cam, just chill and nod their head while watching the video... don't look for an actual reaction video. I have something to say, I'm going to say it... simple as that. If you don't like it do yourself a favor, and just go elsewhere instead of telling someone how they are supposed to react.
