I grew up listening to John Denver's songs. Hundreds of artists have covered this song. But I feel Home Free took this one to another level for me. It is one of my favorite covers of this song. I love everything about it. It is a masterpiece. Home Free is my favorite a cappella group hands down.

Home Free worked on this arrangement for almost 5 years before they recorded it. They wanted to do justice to the song and they did!! It's just a perfect blend with touches of r&b, country, and gospel. This is in my top 3 favorite Home Free covers. It's hard to pick a favorite with their songs. Thanks ladies! 🖤🍟

The ladies are on a Home Free roll. You simply can't go wrong with these guys. "Country Roads" is one of 4 state songs of West Virginia. I live in PA, and have been to WV many times. It's truly a beautiful state. Since it's Christmas, I would recommend "Mary, Did you Know?" or "O Holy Night" by the Home Free boys.

I agree with everything said here. I don't know your names yet, but the daughter said they have no country instruments and it reminded me of exactly what Jewel (country singer) said as a judge on the Sing-Off (they were on season 4 and won it of course)about Home Free, which was pretty much exactly what she was saying. They do have the country vibe and swag about them, 3 out of the 5 of them are from the deep south so maybe that's why, but I love it!

Adam Chance and Peter Hollens did a version of this song in 2021 and were nominated for best Acapella country song by Contemporary Acapella Recording Artists. They lost, however; because in the same category Tim Foust and Chris Rupp won for Long Black Train. Adam Chance replaced Chris Rupp in 2016 when Chris decided to leave the group. How great that two of the members of Home Free were nominated last year!

This version is totally something you might hear on an easy listening station. Like a slice jazz. The thing with acapella groups is they do not use instruments so they have to be tight and their sound comes to our ears so pure. With true voice only music, you hear things in harmonies that instruments drowned out. Home Free is amazing and so together that everything they do is outstanding.

Now you have to react to Geoff Castellucci's cover of this song. Geoff is the bass from the acapella group Voice Play. Voice Play is comparable to Home Free and Pentatonix, I like them even better than the other two. The main difference is in the music they choose to cover, Home Free focuses mostly on country, Pentatonix on Pop, and Voice Play does a lot of Disney, movie, and video game theme songs. Geoff has a large body of solo work, and as a basso profundo he is really remarkable.

@dagmar.6954 Жыл бұрын

Geoff is not a basso profundo but Tim & Avi are. Geoff himself has said he is a baritone who discovered subharmonics to go low. Many bass singers are not fans of that technique. Also not a fan of Geoff's version of Country Roads. He puts in unnecessary bass drops which the song does not call for.
