I love how the boys are being playful and challenging the home free singers. Bass duel anyone? lol

Richard Sterban is a legend. Among others he's worked with J.D. Sumner and as a backup singer for Elvis. As Tim said in their 2020 Christmas special The Oaks have really taken Home Free under their wing over the years and in a way passed the torch to the next generation of musicians and they hope to be able to do the same down the road. I got to see Home Free preform this right before Christmas and it was really fun even without the Oaks.

Richard is around 80 yo. Here. Wow.

Fun Fact: Not just did Geoff Castellucci arrange this but Voiceplay also has a version of this song. It's kinda similar to this one like it sounds a bit to the drawing board of what this turned into and they never studio recorded it so only live versions are available on youtube but it's still worth checking out!

Austin Brown has a back yard recording studio...check out Austin and Tim and friends with "My Maria" in Austins backyard...you can actually hire them to come to your backyard :) That low note was originally all the rave of the song back in the 80's, he still has it but you have to give it up to Tim with the "oh yeah, let me show you something". BTW, I believe this was arranged by Geoff Castelucci. The thing I love about covers that HF does with the original artist is the respect they pay to the original artist and adding their flair. In this case, The Oaks reached out to HF to do this collab after hearing them...also is a collab with Kenny Rodgers "Children go where I send thee". But all their collabs feature the original artists and pay much respect to them.

My wife is an Oak Ridge Boys fan from way back. Showed her this video a few weeks back. There has been a lot of country music playing in the house lately. In fact, a lot of ORB lately. I wonder why? 😉 This video is fun to watch. Enjoy everyone.

Austin got the shirt at an ORB concert when he was a kid. He framed it after this and can be seen in videos from his home. A true fan!

It's such a beautiful thing that these guys have so much respect for one another and have no ego's at all. Jeff C, Home Free and the "Oaks" were outstanding and as the video shows...they had a great time doing this. They seem to have so much fun doing what they love to do! Another song they did with the Oak's was Christmas (2020), was "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" with another nice vocalist, Jeffrey East". The harmonies were simply beautiful and it showed the bond they have for each other...Home Free is really good with collaborating with other established groups and also sharing their talents to newer groups as well. I so appreciated your reaction and would love to see more reaction to Home Free but as we all know...so much music...so little time....but I'll be patient....

Love how you completely analyze the song !! And you bring up the specialized techniques they use, as some reactors just think these guys are "country bumpkins". These guys are true professionals and are great technicians of their craft.

Love this version of Elvira. Can't wait to hear what you think of it. x

For a lifelong metalhead, I've always loved the Oak Ridge Boys! Richard Sturdivant William Lee Golden are legends!!!

Fun fact Tim warned the Oaks not to stand next to Adam because one of his nicknames is Spitter , Austin has that T-Shirt framed in his livingroom

The vibe is as awesome as it gets. The video is clearly a room that became a mutual admiration society during this song. The Oakridge Boys are vocal royalty and they are looking at the talent in the room with disbelief at the level of skill. This was a once in a lifetime event...that just happen to be set around a classic song.

As for Austin's enthusiasm, Tim told the story about when Home Free was working on a cruise ship as guest performers and Austin was part of the in-house entertainment. He was told by one of the other singers that Austin really, really wanted to meet them and that he was "excitable, sorry". Austin is still excitable, but that's part of his charm. Also, Home Free's live versions of Elvira are always amazing!

I only recently discovered your reaction site. I can't decide which I like better, how you explain the technical information in a way that non-musicians can understand or your reactions (especially when you get absolutely giddy) to the amazing parts of the performance. Definitely one of my top favorites among people doing reaction videos! Thank you so much Elizabeth!

You are my favorite reaction video person on youtube. Your energy your enthusiasm is infectious. My wife and I love to watch your videos. You should check out Home Free's "Brothers in Arms cover, and my wife brought up something too. Martina McBrides "Independence day", then check out the Crossroads she did with Pat Benetar of the same song, it was amazing. Please keep up the good work and the fun, your amazing, and I so love the way your facial expressions show your joy of music and the artists that do it".

This is probably my favorite Home Free song because I absolutely love The Oak Ridge Boys. As a huge fan of great bass singers it's great to see Richard Sterban and Tim Foust sing together and the only way it could be better would be to get those two and Harold Reid(The Statler Brothers) together.

Glad you have come back to Home Free again.

Absolutely should do "thank god im a country boy" next for home free its one of my favorites and it has yodeling!

Home Free and The Oak Ridge Boys did another video collaboration last Dec 2020. Look for HF/ORB feat Jeffrey East "Star of Bethlehem"...Joe and Duane both set forth their admiration of Austin's gospel style. Seems both groups have appeared together in other various venues.

O BEAUTIFUL STAR OF BETHLEHEM truly is wonderful ft's Jeffrey East. Austin goes back to his childhood southern gospel roots when he watched and sometimes traveled and occasionally performed with his Dad who was a member of a Southern Gospel Music Quartet.

My favorite country band of all time. Great song!

Elizabeth you are the most excited of all

Please check out Dymytry feat. Victor Smolski -Somebody’s Watching me, a metal cover of the Rockwell/Michael Jackson classic

Highly recommend Home Free's version of "When a Man Loves a Woman".....Austin absolutely nails it.

I'm pretty sure the dictionary entry for "delightful" just says "Elizabeth Zharoff." Your reactions are delightful to listen to, and you yourself are so full of delight when you enjoy the songs!

Had not seen/heard this collab toll just now, but have grown up loving the Oak Ridge Boys and that first chorus gave me chills.

Joe Bonsall's voice hit me like a wave of nostalgia when I first listened to this.

These guys look like they're having the time of their lives! It's impossible to not smile and laugh during the entire song. Your excited reactions are always my favorite, Elizabeth!

The best parts of these videos for me is Liz's facial expressions, belly laughs, and chortles.

Metal head but country rooted. Grown up listening to classic country songs. Nothing like some good ol'country song.❤️

Elizabeth, if you want more of Adams beat boxing try the Adam Rupp drum solo. The one I've seen is a live performance where Tim basically introduces Adam and then they leave him alone on stage to perform. The sounds this man creates are amazing.

I think you owe it to Austin to listen to his performance of "WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN". The whole group performs but Austin is the lead. It was created during the pandemic so they shot each of the members except Austin in their homes and had Austin in studio. This is no Country song. He will suprise and more importantly impress you! I really cannot wait too long to here your excitement! Please do not make me wait for weeks or heaven forbid, months. Just say yes...

I saw the Oaks perform Elvira for the first time back in 1981 in Spokane Washington. The crowd went WILD. I don’t think anyone could do a bad cover of this song.

Metal head but country rooted. I grown up listening to classic country songs good to hear some good ol'country. ❤️

The thing I love about the Oak Ridge Boys in any collaboration is Joe's reaction to any other Tenor. He always gives them this look like How Dare You try to show me up! Lol!

I am so glad you reacted to this collaboration between Home Free & The Oakridge Boys. You can see the great respect these 2 groups have for each other. The Oakridge Boys are mentors to Home Free & it is like they are passing the baton to a newer version of themselves. They have performed together on the Grand Ole Opry. Adam Rupp's vocal percussion is the best in the business. He can simulate drums & any other sounds perfectly. Home Free is my favorite a cappella group. They are so talented yet very humble guys.

The tenor sounds like he's 20 years old. Amazing!!!!!

The Oak Ridge Boys have played the Kentucky State Fair for 46 years straight. Seeing The Oaks at the Fair is family tradition for some people. Everyone I've talked to that has worked the venue when they were there talks about how nice they are. It's been years since I've gone to see them, but if they make it 47 years in 2022, I might have to go again.

I don't know what's more fun, the song with Home Free and the Oak Ridge Boys or your reaction to it 😅🙃 The guys did a fanstastic job and Adam's beatboxing is second to none.

I dig Home Free and this song with The Oak Ridge Boys is one of my favorites of theirs. What great chemistry!!

I’ve stood next to the stage with the Oak Ridge Boys. They were performing for a corporate party and I was an employee of the company. They are amazing! They waited until last for Elvira and they about brought the house down. Tipsy Texans get rowdy. 🇨🇱

I am so spoiled watching other reactors because so few of them seem to enjoy the music as much as you do. I love it and love your energy on these!

I saw them live in the late 80's, Richard Sturban's low register vibrated the seats in the 5 seasons center of Cedar Rapids Iowa. Nothing like feeling a note all the way through your butt and spine. Also, they bring kids from the audience on stage for Angels Among Us. Its so touching.

Elizabeth; your videos are the brightest bright spot in today's world. We deal with so much negativity, so many terrible situations, and your videos are the PERFRCT thing to take my mind away from all of that. Thank you.

So glad you got to this one. Love the Oak Ridge Boys. First time I saw them I was 5 and they were playing at the Grand Ole Opry. This is a great colab.

This was the very first song I ever remember singing, back when I was probably around three years old (it was a fairly new song back then 😝 ). I had it on a 45rpm record, and I nearly wore the vinyl out playing it over and over (and I probably also nearly wore my mom's patience out, too). I had so much fun with the "words" of the baseline in the chorus. 😂 The tenor of the Oak Ridge Boys, Joe Bonsall, owns a farm close to my parents, and my dad has done some handyman work for him over the years. He's a really nice, down-to-earth guy, and he's also an author of several books, too.

Elizabeth, I so love your excitement and enthusiasm as you point each nuance to the performance. I so enjoy your reaction videos as you not only react but point out details in such an interesting and enjoyable way. Thanks so much.

Home Free has another collaboration with the Oak Ridge Boys and Jeffrey East "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem", the harmonies are amazing and Austin goes 'gospel' in it. When he was a child, he sometimes traveled and occasionally sang with his father's gospel quartet in Georgia.

I was a nerd in high school in the 80's. I was all into country and the Oak Ridge Boys were and are one of my favorites. I have seen them live at least a half dozen times. They are greatness. And I love this collaboration so much.

This is an awesome collaboration of this song. Voiceplay has been performing this song in their live performances at least as far back as their Sing-Off tour, which they did with Home Free. You should absolutely check out one of their performance because it's good and they have fun with it. Granted it's not as full because they are a smaller group but they Play with it and I giggled in several places.

I just love how you are giggling like a school girl to these legends 😂

This is my 5 year old daughter's favorite road trip song! She knows every word, and she gets so into it!

Hi Elizabeth, this is my first time listening to this rendition, and I loved the performance. I remember hearing this song in the early '80s, and I love the collaboration 40 years later. Home Free and the Oak Ridge Boys were having fun, and their harmonies were incredible throughout the whole song. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙

Rob Lundquist told William Lee Golden He wanted his beard as long as William's but his wife wouldn't let him, William told Rob "son, looks like you have a decision to make" Chuckle I'm so Happy they got to do this song with the Oaks, and double happy that they felt so at ease with each other . That's the Magic, when you can't help smiling/dancing/singing along it's just pure JOY !

Nothing is better after a really hard working day then run home, put on you merch shirt, get on KZread and enlighten the day watching this channel of amazing reactions, saved the day. Thank you.

I love Home Free. Their "How Great Thou Art" version is amazing too.

That super-low D was just incredible. In my pre-transition life, I was a baritone with a wide range, and the lowest I had to sing for any anything was the G in that octave, and that really took work to reach. I'm suitably impressed.

I can tell Home Free has great admiration for the Oak Ridge Boys!

Elizabeth's reactions always make me smile. She's like a kid in a candy store and every new song is a new candy store. Her excitement is very contagious.

This is one of my favorites! SO MUCH TALENT!

This is one of my favorites. I've been an Oakridge Boys fan since I was a kid, and Ibe loved Homefree since the Sing Off. They did a fantastic collaboration of O Beautiful Star of Bethlehem for their pandemic Xmas special (2020). It truly highlights everyones gospel roots and magnificent talent. Check it out, it's worth it!

I'm thinking that 'The Oak Ridge Boys' are still singing together!!!

Geoff did a great job arranging this for them!!! Love all the geeking out!!

This might be my favorite reaction from you, Elizabeth. I would like to see/hear you react to HF's "In the Blood" and "Helplessly Hoping".

Lol. I mean this in the cutest, most affectionate way possible Elizabeth. You totally goober-ed out on this. So fun and I loved it! I remember when my daughter's were tiny little, like 2, they would always tell me (raised em by myself for several years) I was being a goober when I acted silly with them! Great react. Thank you dear!

It's fun to watch how Austin and Joe seem so much like one another as tenors, they both can belt the notes and they both have lots of energy about them. Joe still jumps up and down onstage because he has so much energy in him when he sings and Austin is the same way, He gets so excited bout everything he does and you can tell they truely love what they do.

This is great. Love when Home Free collabes with Oakridge Boys. Feel good song.

I hope you read who they acknowledge for this one! It’s someone we all know and love ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I have listened to this so many times it is ridiculous. The highs, the lows, there is not a bad thing in the whole arrangement. Tim does not even sound human when he hits those at very low notes, he is a freak of nature.

I commented on a reaction to Peter and Tim and so it goes that they're both honest singers that makes it great. And it is one of the many things that makes your reactions and breakdowns so truly amazing and truly is a blessing. Thank you truly hope you and yours are well!!

I always love your reactions and breakdowns of the music. The almost downright fan-girling was adorable and just improved my mood. Always a pleasure.

I can't be the only one hoping that Elizabeth would cosplay as Elvira for this! It's always great to have Home Free on the channel, but if you ask me, the old Boys stole the show here. Also, props for one of E's goofiest thumbnails yet! You just know the music is good when it causes an educated, experienced performer to make a face like that. 😃

One of the The Oak Ridge Boys, Joe Bonsall, left a very nice comment about the video

I really love to hear and watch this combination. It is pure fun. I have so many thoughts about that. It feels a bit like "Passing the torch" or fathers teaching their sons. It is obvious that everyone had a lot of fun and that´s what music is made for: Having fun together. Additionally I like it, that they are in a bandroom with instruments all around them and Adam Rupp is making the sounds with his mouth. One of my favorites. Thanks for sharing your reaction.

This made my morning! One of the best reviewers out here gives us a super charming breakdown of this glorious performance. Thank you for making this •‿•

At 84 there's no telling what William is drinking! lol I was fortunate enough to get to see them live several times, and every time Richard hit a low note every female in the audience was screaming.

"Whacka, whacka, whacka..." Not sure I ever heard vocal coach use that expression. Classic! (Love it)

I love how full the sound is on the choruses when they all join in.

Loved your reaction, as always! It's amazing how much more you bring to something that I enjoy already -- making it even better. I'd appreciate you fitting more Home Free in your busy schedule - they've recently released a cover of "Bless the Broken Road" that is wonderful. Thank you again.
