Rob, Chance, Tim and Austin are all incredibly talented singers but it's Adam Rupp that really puts Home Free over the top. I don't know of anyone who does quite what he does with the beatbox drums, harmonica and other crazy vocal effects. He's the "secret sauce" that makes Home Free the best acapella group out there IMO.

Those high notes are Adam Rupp. Listen to one of his new live solos. He uses a looper to harmonize with himself. Adam said his voice fits between Austin and Rob but I think since he has been practicing his vocals his range is as high as Austin's and as low as Chance.

The music industry, for its own convenience, likes artists/bands to fit into a category. Once you're in that category, you're never getting out. And within each category, purists trash anyone who doesn't fit their strict ideas. So for better or worse, HF are a country band and will never be considered anything else, no matter what they sing. And within country music, the fact that they sometimes do some non-country is enough to have them called "bro-country" or worse.

I grew up on classic rock & am a big fan of the Doobie Brothers & had their albums. "Listen To The Music" was a big hit for them back in 1972. Love that Home Free is keeping this great music alive & introducing it to the younger generation. The guys did a really nice job of this song. Austin was great for the lead & loved the background harmonies of Rob, Chance & Tim's bass. Adam killed it on the vocal percussion again. He always comes up with some new & interesting sounds. Adam is doing the high notes as you can see in the slowed down section.

Best that I ever heard by Home Free, all their songs are medicine for us.

Adam keeps the flow of sound going when the vocals make a change. Which is frequently. Never an empty space with Adam, not even for a split second. Thank you.

It’s so fun to watch musicians, like Jen, get into home Free. They first are wowed by Austin and Rob, then they get grabbed by Tim’s voice. Chance gets the nod depending on the songs. But Adam is usually last to be recognized. I think it’s because he sounds so much like percussion instruments it takes a while to sink in how incredible he is. This usually takes a few songs to complete the cycle. After Adam is fan girled over, reactors always tune in for what special thing is Adam going to do in this song! It’s a pattern and ?I love it when people can’t choose their favorite performer in Home Free. They are just that good!!

Did you watch Tim's Bash? More music coming from Tim, Austin, Chris and Jeffrey

I believe it’s Adam who’s doing the higher tenor slide. The guy is extremely talented!!

You can see Rupp doing the high E-F slides in the back during the bridge when the drums drop out, so I think it’s him doing them the whole song, just layered in with his percussion tracks.

This is PURE happiness! This band consistently delivers happiness!

Let the music play! Home Free is just the best❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️

Adam is a freak of nature in this one lol....he's so spot on with everything....his fills are so realistic. I heard another reactor say something I really never thought about....Adam doesn't take his percussions out of the realms of reality. he doesn't do things that can't be done on drums.....now that being said all the extras he does here have got to be from outer space haha!!! Some of his effects are nuts!! Great stuff....this is a really fun jam. If your head isn't bobbing while listening to this you may need to check your pulse!! ;)

Home Free kicked ass again!!! The Doobie Brothers had guitars, drums, keyboards and other instruments to make this iconic song. HF only had Adam and their own vocal talents to make it a classic once again 50 years later. Our boys NEVER disappoint! Love all the new sounds Adam added and so glad the bandanas are back.

Hey there, Jen!! This song... Just the song itself just channels so much positive energy. And how Home Free handles all the (seemingly) hundreds of high F#-E slides (I think Adam Rupp actually does most of these in this song) - just intense pleasure and dance provoking singing. Tim's masterful base lines (always), and the crazy good mid-range harmonies by Chance and Rob. And then there's Adam Rupp's endless vocal drum kit... If you were to have only ever seen this one song from Home Free, you could absolutely never believe he was doing ALL the rhythm and high slides himself. Yes, Austin has the "lead", but really it's Adam that leads this song with his insane vocal rhythm (just as you've said, Jen). This has such an intensely good vibe - It has become one of my favorites from Home Free quickly! Thank you so much, Jen, for your super positive energy - I loved watching you react to this!

Jen, your reaction is every bit as enjoyable as this terrific cover rendition of a Doobie Bros. Classic. HomeFree has a chart-buster here.

I believe that Adam Rupp was doing the high notes. Look at him when it goes to the five of them together. It looks like he's doing it. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this song and your analysis.

There's a video taken by an audience member "Home Free Kearny" that might interest you. A concert was cancelled because of a thunderstorm, rather than completely disappoint those who'd come, the members of Home Free went through the rain to a sheltered area where a lot of the audience where and sang "How Great Thou Art". Without mics, amps, speaker system of any kind, while standing on a picnic table with thunder in the background and wind blowing. It's remarkable not only for their singing under those conditions but for the thoughtfulness and kindness of doing so.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. OMGosh what can you say. I love how you break down all these sounds. It’s fabulously done. I love your reaction. You make it fun to watch. Thank goodness you can do that. Thank You 🎼🔥🎶🔥🎵❤️

It's so far in the background, you hardly hear it. I'm pretty sure that's Austin because he does that sound all the time, but it could be Chance as he does it as well, but just a tad different. I used to be able to pick out who was doing which sounds with ease, but they've grown in complexity so much, I can't do that anymore. Plus, they've managed to all come together in matching tone now, that it makes it even harder. Not to mention the filters and layering they're using every now and then on these studio versions. I've always loved this Doobie song and the guys really did it justice! - One of these days I'm convinced you're going to hit those bass notes and you'll hear me scream with joy clear across the pond from Florida!! 😄😉 Loved this analysis, Jen, as always!

He manages not to look it, but Adam is working his arse off here. One of the things forgotten these days about the Doobies is that they used TWO drummers in performance, each with his own full kit, so Adam's got the job of sounding like two people playing at once. Also ... that's him doing those stratospheric "oo-oo"s up on F-sharp 5. Ain't Austin at all. And just because he can, he pitches in some DJ turntable scratching because why not.

This is a fantastic cover of a Doobie Brothers hit. Many people forget one of the signatures of the Boobie Brothers was their dual drum kits and Adam Rupp covers extremely well the two drum kits. From viewing several live recordings, I am convinced that the only multi-tracking that Home Free does is in the drum track, which is played-back live. By the way, I believe that the opening high note is Adam Rupp.

I heard something in the background under the nice break down area @2:43. A nice counterpoint to everything going on upfront. Also, in watching through the song, it seems to be Adam that is doing the very high notes just before the break down area. If you watch him on the right of the screen you can see him doing it a couple of times.

Only HF could replicate this song with so much joy. I’m here for you and your reactions, you have great insights
