One of my favorite covers by Home Free. And Austin is just gorgeous, with or without the beard* :)

Every voice is different and distinct ! A perfect blend of colors in a patchwork quilt. Thank you for pointing out the needle and thread of Adam, that stitch it all together. There is no element more, or less important. They all depend on each other.

"Gospel" Austin shows up in this one. In their live concerts he really plays up his worship-leader abilities - even without the beard. This is one of the songs that really shows up their harmonies. The first four bars are pure big-ass organ, and I love it.

Beards... when HF was on The Sing-Off, the producers wanted HF to have beards for, I'm guessing, a "country" look. (They ended up telling Austin to shave.) I think Rob had a beard already, but still grew it out. After HF'S first performance, Shawn Stockman "ordered" Rob to never shave off his beard!

Seriously???? Lol never heard of that before!

This will force you to like gospel music, if nothing else will. Austin does look young without a beard, and most of the beardless videos are the older ones. About that outdo -- the clip "I Can't Stop the Feeling" is one of the best ones demonstrating just who is doing what/which "instrument" with the great breakdown in the middle. Recommend it!

Austin's gospel-sounding ad-libs just send this song over the top....its just another amazing Home Free video

It’s a good one. Yeah Austin looks like a baby without the beard. Love Tim’s low notes and Adam was tremendous as always. Good reaction Maria.🤩

One of my favorites from Home Free ... would like them to make a complete "gospel" album sometime ! They're such good guys !

They each have beautiful voices, but it’s the blending that makes that iconic Home Free sound. Love Home Free! ❤

They are great. They remind me of the Statler Brothers. I am 78, I can not count how many times I have fallen short of grace. My Lord has always been there to pick me up.

When Austin was a kid he sometimes traveled and sang with his father's gospel quartet in Georgia - so if it feels like he's taking you to church, he comes by it honestly. To hear him go "full gospel" was their collaboration with the Oak Ridge Boys on "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem". The classic car belongs to one of their crew.

I get first dibs if he ever sells it!!

Yay! A wave of Home Free coming in! Whoosh! Love it!

One of my favorite "ear worms" 😆 Once I hear Adam's percussion on this one it replays in my head for the rest of the day ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ (And I love HF's attention to details--they consistently put forth the effort with creative touches like the old tv look/old radio sound that IMHO put their music and videos on a level above all others. 🥇)

Yes, i like Austin with facial hair 😍

Yes, girl! We all fall short! Thank God for His Grace!!! ❤

The outro was "Can't Fight the Feeling" (Justin Timberlake/Trolls cover) and it's SPECTACULAR!! Please do it soon. You'll love it!! 😘👍🤯🔥

For a good example of Austin singing gospel, try Beautiful Star of Bethlehem with Jeffrey East and The Oakridge Boys

Adam's drum set is awesome with Tim's bass support really show up great!!

I love the bass counter Tim sings.

This one is fabulous in their live show!

They have a new release today called The Horses ft Travis Collins and Amy Shepherd two Australian singers

I just put it on the list to react! 😉

These guys are so very awesome! I love them so very much. Love your reaction!

As you journey through HF, Austin changes the most, in appearance, plus he switches up his hair, etc. I'm all about a guy in long hair, if it suits him, and I feel it does on Austin. Was bummed when Tim lopped off his locks but he's let the shorter 'do soften a bit, and with the gray, it's a nice change. Adam's hair varies in length although the bandana (love!) is fairly constant. (May have mentioned, previously, that supposedly he grows it out to donate for children's wigs.) Jury is still out on Chance's recent man bun. LOL First and foremost, here for their amazing vocals, the visuals are an added bonus. 😊

L❤️VE your reactions, Maria! You are fantastic! And (obviously) so is Home Free - they are DO unique in their way of mixing serious topics with comedy!

*SO

Awesome reaction ! I have a couple requests to add to your list, Home Free-"LISTEN TO THE MUSIC" a cover from the Dobbie Brothers and Home Free-" GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUTIAN" a song about loss that can apply to anyone but in this video it's about our VETS! peace

Austin definitely has a 'baby face' without the beard. I think that is a big factor why he grew the beard to begin with.

Yes, poor Austin back then….no beard….Baby Faced 🙃🎵🎶🫶🏼‼️ He’s so darned cute ❣️🫶🏼‼️ A little info about Austin…..when he was a kid…he would travel with his Dad during the summer & class breaks….his Dad was part of a Gospel Quartet.

This was the introduction song by country star Maren Morris that HF adapted. I really like Maren's version when it came out, but these guys really upgraded it.

Since you like when they sing about being a better human being (Don’t we all !!) it’s time to check out Everybody Walking This Land, Maria. You KNOW I would NEVER steer you wrong on the HF highway.

This is one of my favorites. You should take a listen to Don't Laugh at Me if you haven't already. Spoiler: make sure you bring tissues.

All I know is if I saw all five of those 6ft tall glasses of water standing next to that car.....I'd be stopping and asking if they needed any help.

@@WhyAmIReacting 🤭😄🤭😄 I might have to help you.

One of my feel good favorites! Thank you for reacting to this one! ❤️

I believe what you say , we all fall short a lot of times , That is why I tell these Christian Zealots chill out I chose to follow Jesus but I DON'T NEED you over my shoulder telling me and everyone else what they are doing wrong. We All try our best, we are not perfect . Awesome reaction stay happy and blessed

This is from not too long after Chance joined the group.

Yeah all the older videos are the ones where Austin hasn't got a beard yet. So he just doesn't look young, he really is younger in them.

My Dear Young Woman, I know you prefer to be emailed for requests, but I really don't do that (I'm old), but I really can't wait to watch you melt into a little puddle when you Hear Austin sing "Bring Him Home" from Les Miserables. I promise you will.
