"Never heard Tim sing that high before". Think it might be time for you guys to react to Home Free doing "Mayday"
@carolburnett190 Жыл бұрын
You’re definitely ready for Mayday! I didn’t see this anywhere else in the comments so forgive me if I’m repeating, Don McLean ASKED Home Free to do this in celebration of the song’s 50th anniversary. There is a documentary on the background and creation of the song on Paramount+ and Home Free has a part in that as well. Great reaction!

My understanding is that Tim had actually been in communication with Don's company for about 2 years working on this collab. You can find a BTS video about it on YT as well.

@@shercahn Yeah Tim had reached out to Don's Company a few years ago about doing it but for whatever reason it didn't happen. So when the 50th was coming up, Don essentially asked them to do it. And of all the people who have covered the song, Don invited Weird Al and Home Free to his Walk Of Fame Star dedication where Home Free got to perform part of the song. Such a cool moment!

Hi guys! Tim's range is ridiculous, take a listen to Snow Globe when you get a chance and you'll see his range there. Plus he does WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW/STAY. Since I don't have you is another one. These guys are truly amazing. Great reactions!

You guys haven't heard Tim's range yet. Listen to his solo "Will You Still Love Me / Stay" if you want to be impressed. It is still acapella, and he harmonizes with himself.

Love this remake of this classic song. Can't believe it came out 50 years ago. Don McLean still has a good voice for his age. And love hearing all the guys take a turn in a verse. Poor Adam had to do such a long stretch of beatboxing but he nailed it. Think the song is about 8 min. long. Don McLean received his Hollywood Star on the Walk of Fame recently & Home Free was invited to sing a portion of this song there. What an honor for them. "American Pie" pays tribute to the loss of 3 legends who died so young (Buddy Holly, Richie Valens & The Big Bopper). A lot of references in the song are made to many artists from the early days of music including Elvis, Janis Joplin, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Byrds & others.

The newer dude is Adam Chance, called Chance since there was already an Adam. He used to be the bass voice in another a cappella group called Street Corner Symphony. They came in 2nd place in season 2 (2010) of the Sing-Off. Chance has been good friends with Jenika Marion (now Foust) long before either meeting Tim Foust. I think she was the one who invited Chance and his group to be part of Home Free's video House Party. Chance is the one wearing the white bathrobe and having a glass of liquor always in hand. He's mostly the baritone of the group but can take the low position when Tim goes high. The both sound great either way. Also check out my favorite SCS video Madness.

It's hard to believe this song could be polished up and elevated cause it was pretty epic to begin with. Leave it to Home Free to do just that. Don still sounds great and teamed up with Home Free is just awesome. Pretty cool he wanted them to reimagine his classic song with him for the 50th anniversary. Home Free has rubbed elbows with some legendary artists. Fate has smiled on all of us for these 5 crazy talented guys coming together to create the music fit for angels. It was cool seeing how much you guys enjoyed and appreciated this. Great reaction!!

@grannymitch6707 Жыл бұрын
“The newer dude” is Adam Chance, and his baritone/bass is smokey and so smooth. As a Home Fry, I’m kinda on the fence about it being time for Mayday just yet. I recommend you hear more of Chance’s voice first. Some of my favorites are Helplessly Hoping, Winter Song, Castle on the Hill, and The Driver. I’d also recommend doing at least one video with each of them leading. I don’t think you’ve done one with Rob featured, and I’d recommend End of the Road and Bless the Broken Road.

Another classic, by Home Free with the OGs that you might like is "Elvira" with the Oak Ridge Boys.

just too much. This is the song of my generation.....I was in 6th grade at Everglades Elementary here in Miami when it was released (Oct 24th, 1971)...every kid in school knew this one by heart before the year was out. And throughout the rest of my school days if we took a field trip this was the 1st song we sang. Thanks guys, and if you want to hear more of Chance, Home Free did a cover of the Boos's big hit, Born in the USA in which Chance takes the lead.....his voice just completes Home Free !!!

Great isn't it?! (Have you also done Kenny Rogers with HF on Children Go Where I Send Thee? Incredible!!) Don did ask HF to do this with him for the 50th and asked for it to be a bit more hepped up and sped up. There is a great Behind the Scenes of him working them and arranger extraordinaire Darren Rust. Don is asking Darren to make him sound good because he said he didn't have the voice he used to. And Darren made sure it all worked out perfectly for all of them and us!!! I was there in the 60s and 70s when the Vietnam War (he references throughout in various ways) was going on, husband there for 14.5 months! But then the young vets came home to protests against the war and them and it was one huge awful mess! Then he of course references all the assassinations of Kennedys and MLK Jr. Well, anyway, loved this classic so much as it was from "my day."! Take care guys and thanks!
