Hello you awesome people! Go check out my patreon for exclusive content and early access to all my videos! --> www.patreon.com/reckyj

My favorite part of the record of this song.: They had Don come in first to record. Don asked Tim how they wanted him to sing the song. Tim's answer was, "You sing it how you want and we'll adapt to you."

There is no competition between PTX and Home Free. They are both masters at their craft. Avi Kaplin from Pentatonix sang with Home Free in Ring of Fire. You can easily appreciate both groups without comparing them. Their harmonies are impeccable and they work to support each other's voices. Home Free lends more to country and PTX more to pop, but they both are not afraid to venture into other genres. Sit back and enjoy the ride. As Alice sais, "One can never have enough rabbit holes to travel down".

You can not compare acapella groups. I love Home Free. They are a "country" base acapella group but they do all generations of music. I'm a country gal so I love this group. 😀. I do watch PTX too but prefer Home Free. That's me though. Hope you do more of home free please thanks.

50 years later and Don McLean still sounds amazing! This is one of the greatest songs of all time, and was VERY MUCH a part of my childhood. Don & Home Free really touched on some magic (as well as some feels) with this video! Home Free won The Sing Off the season after Pentatonix. PTX was somewhat involved in coaching them during the show, and former PTX bass singer Avi became VERY good friends with Home Free bass singer Tim Foust in the process. Avi has collaborated with Home Free on one song (Ring of Fire) and has also made cameo appearances in several of their videos. There's no real competition between the groups or their fans. Most Pentaholics are Home Fries as well (and vice versa). For a while, Home Free was considered a "country" version of PTX, but in reality, both groups record all genres of music.

This song was written by Don, released 50 years ago about events in music and the US going back 62 years ago. Many of us are PentaFries. It is all a capella. Don had the first lead, Chance (baritone) had the second lead, Austin (higher tenor) had the third, Rob (lower tenor) had the fourth, Tim (bass, very) had the fifth - he's the 'more southern' sounding guy, and yes he really was singing that high, and Don wrapped it up with that great slow finish. Adam just about killed himself doing so much 70's rock percussion. Great reaction. I liked the look on your face when you realized you had hit the jackpot. Yep, mostly southern and midwest-ish. Try Man Of Constant Sorrow for some pre- bluegrass. Ring Of Fire for some country-ish. Moonshine for some southern flavor. How Great Thou Art for gospel. Do You Hear What I Hear for Christmas. Country Roads for country pop. They even did a Sea Shanty medley. Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer is well, just silly. After you get familiar with them, then try Mayday. Whoops, forgot God Bless The USA and Castle On The Hill.

I am a fan of Pentatonix, Home Free, and Voiceplay. They are all amazing in their own ways. Great reaction.

Another great cover by Home Free, is their version of the O' Jays, Love Train. It is awesome. Great reaction.

There is no battle... PTX, Home Free and Voice Play all A Capella ... all great ; all different. Love them all

So happy you enjoyed Home Free with Don McLean. Home Free is as they say country based acapella group. It is amazing all that they sing. The first HF to sing was Adam Chance(Chance ) is from Alabama, the second HF is Austin Brown is from Georgia, Tim Foust is from Texas and is the one you commented about the southern voice. (just can't take the Texas out of a Texan.) all three of them are for sure southern, Rob Lundquist (the Beard) is from Minnesota same as Adam Rupp the beatboxer. In some of the songs you will see Chris Rupp (wears a cowboy hat or sometimes a cap) he is a baritone who was co founder of Home Free with his brother Adam Rupp. He left to go out on his own. Great group of guys here. Yes all of the acapella groups get along well. Thanks for a great reaction. edit: sorry I had incorrect information about Chris being instrumental getting Chance to join the group. I did delete that part, but wanted to put it out here for those who have already seen it. Thank you JadeSkye.

Home Free used to be under contract with Sony Music but not anymore so all their newer videos are not subject to copyright issues. To confirm just look at the expanded info below the video window. This video is not subject to copyright.

PTX are classical and pop. They won The Sing Off show in 2011. Home Free are country and trad, they won the next Sing Off. High tenor Austin Brown is from Georgia, Adam Chance, baritone is from Alabama. Tom Foust, deep bass is Texan. Rob Lundqvist, tenor, and Adam Rupp, the vocal percussionist are from Minneappolis.

Home Free is the real deal. Home Free won the NBC show the Sing Off in 2013 the year after Pentatonix won. They’re friends. Avi Kaplan has collaborated with Home Free on Ring of Fire. Don McLean heard of Home Free and wanted to do this remake with them. He sounded great for 75! I love the boxes - reminded me of shadow boxes you keep your memories in. Such a clever video. Yes, Adam Rupp, the beatboxer did a tremendous job. Some say he almost passed out doing this for so long. Haha. Home Free is a country “a cappella” band but they do so much more than country. They sing all genres and sing them well. Try Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art, Country Roads, End of the Road to hear great harmonies. Don’t compare HF and PTX. They’re both good and both different. You won’t be disappointed by either group. Good reaction!

Oh, and one thing I love about Home Free is how much they respect their idols, and are open about it. They collaborate with so many people, and appear to have a great with them as well, watch them with Alabama, Peter Hollens, Oak Ridge Boys, Kenny Rogers, Lee Greenwood, and here Don McLean... Ah, and Avi from PTX! I read they want to do Dolly Parton and Travis Tritt as well.

I love all 3 of the major aca groups (Home Free, PTX, and VoicePlay), and others, as well. Many fans feel the same. They are all incredibly talented, and each group has it's own unique style. Nothings says you can't enjoy them all!

There are 5 in the group. Rob Lundquist and Austin Brown are tenors, Adam Rupp is the beatboxer/percussionist, Adam Chance, baritone, Tim Faust is the bass. This group is more of a country group but they sing other genres.

First soloist is Adam Chance (called Chance because there was already an Adam when he joined). Who is from Alabama. Second is Austin Brown from Georgia. Third is Rob Lundquist from Minnesota. Fourth is Tim Foust, an amazing bass, from Texas. Finally is the beatboxer Adam Rupp, one the remaining original member, also from Minnesota.

there are 5 in homefree, adam the beatboxer, chance the 1st one to sing, austin 2nd to sing, rob the 3rd to sing, and tim the bass last one to sing

Home Free is comprised of: Adam Rupp (beat boxer), Adam Chance (baritone, bass); Tim Foust (bass), Rob Lundquist (lead tenor with black beard) and Austin Brown (high tenor). They don't use instruments, it is acapella. They have also collaborated with Kenny Rogers, Alabama, The Oak Ridge Boys and Peter Hollens among others.

It would be like a parent choosing a favorite child. I am both a Pentaholic and a Home Fry... I also love VoicePlay and Voctave.

On Feb. 3, 1959, rock stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. Richardson were killed in a plane crash along with 21-year-old pilot Roger Peterson. This incident became known as “The Day The Music Died,” after Don McLean coined it in his 1971 song, “American Pie.” We had to there concert - the one they were flying to. It was so traumatic the music organizers quickly arranged a new concert with other big star groups. But it wasn’t until 1992 - when I took my sister to Buddy(musical in London) that she was able to say she had closer. Me - I was left deathly afraid of flying.

As far as a connection to Pentatonix-They both won The Sing-Off. PTX won first and Home Free won the next year. I wish they would bring that show back.

I love them all ( PTX , H F , Voice Play , Voctave , ACAPOP kids ) . they all have different styles and are all so talented and seem such nice and humble people , probably one of the reasons they are loved so much 😊 !!

These guys are incredible! Just subbed hoping for more! Their names in order of appearance: Adam Chance (goes by Chance- baritone), Austin (tenor), Rob (tenor), Tim (bass), Adam Rupp (beatboxer). Their cover of End of the Road is a good one to check out next... or Man of Constant Sorrow. 😀

Austin(high tenor) is from Georgia, Rob (tenor) is from Minnesota, Chance (baratone) is from Mississippi, Tim (bass) is from Texas and Adam (beatboxer) is from Minnesota. So 3 from the south and 2 from the north. They all sound great together.

I forgot to add Sea Shanty and Meet in the Middle for some awesome video transitions. They made some awesome videos in quarantine and got us thru some lonely times.

They have several great collaborations, including Kenny Rogers with Children, Go Where I Send Thee and The Oakridge Boys with Elvira.

Everything you want to know about Americans can be found in music. I am a lifelong musician. First, I played Clarinet, then guitar, then I was a lead singer in a rock band. Those days are gone but the music follows me into old age. This is who we are recorded for the ages.

Home Free has done several collaborations, & the original singer always takes the lead.

Tim Foust is from southeast Texas; Austin Brown is from south Georgia; Adam Chance is from Alabama; both Rob Lundquist and Adam Rupp are from Minnesota. Incidentally Adam Rupp and his brother Chris were the founders of the band. When Chris Rupp left the band Adam Chance joined it. Hope that helps.

This is one of my all time favorites -I didn’t know they had a version. Loved it

i read through some of the comments cause I didn't want to repeat the same thing for the 30th time but here goes... they are an acapella group from minnesota. Adam Rupp (Beat boxer) and his brother Chris formed Home Free in 2000. Chris left the band in 2016 and in came Adam Chance (Chance) who was the first guy that sang after Don (with the backwards baseball cap). He is their baritone. The second guy that sang from Home Free was Austin. He is their high tenor and you said he sounded southern. He's from Georgia but now lives in Nashville, TN. Rob is the member with glasses and he is also a tenor. Tim is the bass and he was the last HF member to sing. Although he is bass he has a 5 octive range. Tim is from Texas so when you said he sounded more southern you were pretty much right. As for PTX vs. HF. I personally prefer Home Free over PTX (although they are amazing). Home Free, although is a country acapella band, is very diverse and touches on everything from country, to pop and r&b. They are a fun group of guys who aren't afraid to sing about things that are serious and to help make people socially aware, to hilarious songs that make them goofy but still can't put out an amazing song no matter how much they are fooling around. PTX won the 3rd season of The sing off. Home Free won the 4th season of the sing off. Chance who came in the bang in 2016, his former acapella group, street corner symphony came in second on the sing off on season 2. also- sorry for the long comment!

I saw Don McLean live in the early 1970s while at university in Orlando Florida, in a room that held less than 800 people. Fabulous concert. We all sang along with the chorus.

Recky, please react to Boyz to men cover, “End of the road” by Home free. It’s AMAZING🎶🎶💕 Your reactions are great 🦋

Great reaction to the best group of guys out there.

Great reaction!!! I know that its June, but I was sold on Home Free after hearing "Do You Hear What I Hear" where you experience all their voices. But seriously, I don't think you can go wrong with any Home Free song. Cheers!

Home Free and PTX both won The Sing Off. Check out Ring of Fire which features Avi from PTX.

You are right about Austin's (the redheaded tenor) accent. He was born and raised in Georgia, in the southeastern US. He studied music and musical theater in college. The accent comes and goes, depending on what he's singing.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the song, Don asked Home Free to record it with him. Quite an honor, eh?

Don still sounds awesome at 75!

You're old? I'm 70 and was married for a few years when this song came out. I love this version. They are definitely country, and they won the "Sing Off" acapella competition program just as Pentatonix had done.

Thank you very much for reacting to Home Free, and I'm glad you enjoyed it, it's great to see new people discovering my favourite group. As well as being a great performance, this song does give you a good opportunity to hear all of the voices of Home Free, as well as their incredible beat-boxer. (U see others have already told you who they are, so I won't repeat them.) I'm glad to hear you are planning to react to more, and I shall be looking out for them.

A small moment in this video - @14:30, Adam Rupp (bottom row, second box) sets his drumsticks down and takes a bow as the percussion section goes quiet for the rest of the song.

HF has their own record label, Home Free Records, so you don't have to worry about copyright issues and pause their videos repeatedly. Just check who the producer is first and you won't have a problem. Their earlier stuff though is still copyrighted by Sony, so on those you will need to continue to pause. PTX and Home Free both appeared on a TV show called The Sing Off and PTX was the winner on Season 3 in 2012, and HF won Season 4 in 2013 and won a $100K recording contract as first prize. The Sing Off episodes are available to react too so you follow their journey on how they won. You might try their Johnny Cash cover of Ring of Fire, in which they featured PTX's former bass singer, Avi Kaplan to join them shortly after Sing Off appearance.

I don't try to compare them, I just enjoy them both & love all the great music they both make !!! Home Free does lean to country side of the genre's but the do ALL GENRE'S of music. Another great cover of theirs is "END OF THE ROAD" the Boyz2Men classic from the early 90's. Many people think Home Free's version is better...watch the big guy with beard & glasses get his soul on...it's amazing !!! But welcome to the Rabbit Hole that is the Home Free video library...it's almost 150 videos now. As for the connection to Pentatonix, there is one....The NBC network show "The Sing-Off", Pentatonix won season 3 & Home Free won season 4. Welcome to Home Free & sit back & enjoy some great music

Peter Hollens, Home Free, Voice Play, PTX etc are alums of The Sing Off seasons. All are amazing in their own ways. I've been a Home Fry since their season 4 of the Sing Off. Adam Chance was with Street Corner Symphony Season 2 before joining Home Free. Peter Hollens was also Season 2 with Oregon U's On the Rocks group. :) Austin Brown is from Georgia, Chance from Alabama, Tim from Texas, and Rob and Adam Rupp from Minnesota

My father in law was a fighter pilot in the Vietnam War. They played this song before missions.

Home Free and PTX both groups became popular after an acapella show that pitted formed groups of acapella singers against one another, it had judges also and it ran for 5 seasons and PTX won in season 3, Home Free won in season 4. They do know one another and actually, the bass Avi that was originally in PTX sang with Home Free in their video "Ring Of Fire" and also appeared in another video of theirs. They can sing about any genre of songs, you can see in their videos that they do, but they call themselves the first acapella country group. They are just something different, and anyone can enjoy listening to them. They are also known for their amazing harmonies. Some people like to compare PTX and Home Free, but many enjoy both, and Home Free themselves always say they believe in collaboration over competition.

ONLY Don McLean to this day knows what the song he wrote is truly about. Having said that this song is an American Icon ! No matter what it means, it is a classic and in my mind it will never be forgotten. So just sit back, listen and enjoy. Home Free adds another dimension to it. Perfection can never be improved, BUT it can be done differently and still enjoyed all the more.

Their beatboxer is the best. He's been the champ several years in a row.

Tim has an incredible range going all the way down to an f0 occasionally braking speakers

If this had been the original version, it would never have been out of the #1 chart position.

They do so many great songs it is hard to know where to tell you to start lol One of my favorites is a song they do called Helplessly Hoping, it is so well done and their version is just beautiful. Hope to see more Home Free reactions from you.

I believe this song was released when I was 14 years old and I am now 65. Great reaction!

Chosing which group is better is only based on the listeners tastes and perspectives. Both groups, PTX and Home Free are phenomenal artists. But this one point of my perspective, Adam Rupp, the beatboxer for Home Free is second to none. I feel your pain having to continually pause the video. Nice reaction. 👍

Tim Foust is the Bass and he has above 5 octaves and now Chance is new but also Bass and 4 Octaves

Just a note- If you follow Home Free (And I certainly encourage that) DONT do Mayday till you have done 1/2 a dozen or so of their videos. Recommend- Helplessly Hoping, Ring of Fire, Man of Constant Sorrow, Hillbilly Bone to start (really cant go wrong at all with any Home Free song)

HF can sing anything and just kill it

They released this on the 50th anniversary of the release of the original. The beatboxer also has a lovely voice

Austin, Tim & Chance are all southerners

Can't go wrong with Home Free or PTX. Just different styles.

Home Free made a sea shanty medley. It is amazing, I would highly suggest listening to it for a happy, upbeat time

I just subscribed!! Welcome to HOME FREE HOME FREE is a county A Capella band that does more than just country. Tim Foust, the bass (5 octave range) , Adam Rupp, the aturebeatboxer (freak of nature), Adam Chance (Chance) is the baritone/bass, since 2016, he took over for Chris Rupp (one of the founders of the group), Rob Lundquist, tenor and Austin Browm high tenor make up the voices of angels. PLEASE listen to more.. If I know my Home Free family well (Home Fries) , they have already given you suggestions of music. LOL Thanks for the reaction

Home Free is great as you will discover on your journey listening to them. Shout out to Sweeden... visited Orrebro for a long weekend back in 1988 or 89 while stationed in Germany in US Army .... many moons ago, but thoroughly enjoyed meeting an talking with the people.

This was the 50th anniversary of the song, that Don wrote & sang. He’s 75 years old!!! .....& still has it !!! This is the original version, 8 1/2 minutes long ‼️ The guys : Austin Brown = high tenor, they call him the Wailer.( from Georgia, country boy, who is classically trained) Tim = BASS..5 octave range, = the BEAST(from TEXAS) Rob Lundquist = tenor, the BEARD Adam Rupp = Beat Boxer..the FREAK OF NATURE Chance=Baritone, nice guy

Even at Don's age he can truly belt out a song its amazing how great this song was put together ❤️

the guys you commented on being from the South are Austin Brown, from Georgia and Tim Faust from Texas....so you were spot on....great reaction

New sub for more Home Free! Others introduced you to the guys, but here is where they are from: Two from Minnesota (beat boxer Adam and lead tenor Rob), one Alabama boy that has since moved to L.A. (Chance with backward baseball cap), a Georgia boy that now lives in Nashville (high tenor Austin), and a Texan that now lives in Nashville (super bass Tim).

HOME FREE WINS, HANDS DOWN...

Home Free can't do a bad song. How can you not love these guys. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This was a fundraising project. It wasn't gonna be blocked!

So this is only my opinion. PTX is an amazing acapella group with amazing singers and otherworldly harmonies that are very adept at showcasing what acapella is capable of. Home Free is an amazing group that uses acapella to make music. It's a subtle difference but a difference none the less. What I love about HF is that they seem to have less turnover than the other groups and they really showcase their personalities through their songs, arrangements, and non song related content. They become another part of your family that you feel you could call any day of the week to help you out. I don't know another group of musicians that have managed that like Home Free. Don't get me wrong, I love listening to PTX but feel that they have found a formula and stick to it and do it very well. Home Free, to me, switches everything up more often and keeps things fun and interesting while producing some of the highest quality music you can find, acapella or not. I believe that over 75% of HF's songs, if they came on the radio, people would rock out to without ever knowing it was an acapella song.

I'm a Pentaholic AND a Home Fry. There's little comparison between other than there is 5 members each and they're acapella. Both are incredible talents. You've gone down acapella the rabbit hole. Welcome :)

Home Free went to Don and told him they were thinking of doing this and asked him if he would like to join them He said sure... How kool is that... When the record came out 50 years ago, we had to flip it over to hear the whole song.. lol Home Free took up their own record label a couple of years ago, so i don't think you'll get blocked now that they have their own..

try ring of fire johnny cash cover home free and Avi from ptx

The guys around Don are Home Free !

I'm a little late finding this reaction. I myself am totally a home fry,but I never compare because each group have their own talent. Home free is so talented and their beatboxes is the best I've heard. When you react to home free, the home fries will show up.We are dedicated and yes 3 of these guys are from the south.Great reaction.

First, I have just subscribed to your channel because I discovered you because of Home Free. I have been a fan since they won the Sing Off the season following Pentatonix (whom I also love, but am more partial to Home Free). They are the first official Country all Vocal Band. I can't speak for all groups, but many A Capella groups know each other through previous networking while finding their group. These guys are not only super talented, but they're really great guys who love good music, and like having fun (they love playing pranks on each other sometimes). They're very entertaining, funny, and down to earth. The first guy is Adam Chance (baritone, bass) and he's from southern Alabama. The second guy is Autin Brown and he is high tenor. He's from southern Georgia (you're right, he's from the south). The third guy is Rob Lundquist and he's 2nd tenor. He's from Minnesota. The fourth guy is Tim Foust, who is also from the south (southeastern Texas), and he's their main bass. The beatboxer extraordinaire is Adam Rupp who is also from Minnesota (he's the co-founder of the group. His older brother Chris is the brainchild of the group, but he left the group in May 2016 to pursue a solo career). Anyway, I hope you continue to react to these guys. I would like to suggest their cover of "Seven Bridges Road". These guys' harmonies are spectacular. The bass and percussion are also phenomenal.

You should definitely check out their performances on the Sing-Off. They are all on KZfaq. If you can find the ones with the judges' reactions, that's even better.

Every time a song plays on the radio, the artist gets paid. KZfaq is not regulated by ASCAP, who oversees the whole payment thing, so every time a song is played on here, the artists are losing money. Subscription radio takes care of the issue by charging a fee to subscribers, which is how the artists get paid. The required breaks are designed so that the music can't be recorded, depriving the artists of their fair share. A pain, I know, but it's how the business works. That being said, enjoy this new discovery! They are fantastic!

Can't go wrong with Home Free. Us acapella fans don't compare groups we just love them ALL.They each bring something different in their own super talent way.

I believe they are on their own label now, and I don't think their recent videos will be blocked for copy write. I'm not 100 percent on that, but I'm sure someone else will chime in on this.

New sub here, here to see you discover the Home Free rabbit hole!! There really is no need to compare the two groups as their styles are so very different. I love Home Free with every fiber of my being, I love their sound, their arrangements, their hearts and souls put on their sleeves, and I love the songs they do. I appreciate the talent of PTX as much as I appreciate the talent of HF, but I'm not a fan of their arrangements and while they all have incredible voices the voices of the guys in Home Free speak directly to my heart, while PTX doesn't. It's nothing against them, it's just the way it is. Home Free and PTX both won their separate seasons of the Sing Off, PTX season 3 in 2011 and HF season 4 in 2013. Loved your reaction, btw! Keep 'em coming. Where in the world are you located? I'm guessing maybe Sweden or Norway, but your English doesn't have a typical Scandi accent. :)

The beatboxer and founding member is Adam Rupp. Formed the group with his brother Chris in 2000. From Minnesota In order of solos after Don McLean: Adam Chance (just called Chance to avoid confusion). He's a baritone/bass, joined Home Free in 2016. From Alabama Austin Brown, high tenor. Joined in 2013. From Georgia. Rob Lundquist, tenor. Joined in 2008. From Minnesota. Tim Foust, bass. Insane range. Joined in 2012. From Texas. No they are not any part of PTX. But the a capella world is a tight knit one and the group members know each other and some are friends. There are many "southern" accents. Austin sounds different from Chance and he sounds different from Tim. Each can add more or less "accent" depending on the song.

HOME FREE IS A COUNTRY A'CAPELLA BAND, ADAM CHANCE, AUSTIN BROWN AND TIM FAUST ARE FROM THE SOUTH, ROB LUNDQUIST AND ADAM RUPP ARE NORTHERNERS.

should check out Adam Rupp drum solo

Recky u r so rite

They’re friends with Pentatonix. The groups respect each other. As for being old I feel the same way you do. I’m 71 and feel 24

As someone who has worked in broadcast radio for decades, American Pie means a bathroom break for all those poor DJs who are locked in an on-air studio for 5 hours at a time. 😂 But, honestly, this song is a sad one to me. The day the music died refers to a plane crash in 1959 that killed early rock and roll stars Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens, ending the era of early rock and roll; this became the popular nickname for that crash. The theme of the song goes beyond mourning McLean's childhood music heroes, reflecting the deep cultural changes and profound disillusion and loss of innocence of his generation. It came out during the Vietnam War era when many Americans were disillusioned.

Welcome new Home Fry to the very deep and wonderful rabbit hole that is Home Free! These are my boys (I am from Minnesota, where the group began, and where Chris Rupp (the human drum kit) and Rob (The Bearded Wonder) are from). Their producer, Darren Rust (member of The Blenders), also lives here and is featured in their hilarious Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer video. They are a super fun group of guys (which you will soon find out), and they absolutely love their fans and reactors! They have put out so many amazing videos in the last year and a half, even though they were all spread across the US. Some of my favorite "Quarantine edition" ones are Down at the Honkytonk, Moonshine, Sunday Best, Meet in the Middle, and of course Quarantine. Their videos are put together so well and can have a lot of little details that can be easy to miss, so be sure to keep your eyes on the screen when watching! There are so many reactors that look away during the videos or close their eyes and miss things. A couple more of my favorites: In the Blood, Catch Me if You Can, Mayday (but make sure you wait a bit and really know the group better before you do this one, it will make it so much better!), Blue Ain't Your Color, Country Fried Pop Medley, God Bless the U.S.A. (featuring Lee Greenwood and The United States Air Force Band), Dive bar Saints, and End of the Road. I could go on and on, but you will have plenty of recommendations to keep you busy for a while!

You should check out Voice Play as well...PTX, Home Free and Voice Play are the best in Acapella!! I love all 3 of them!

Home free appreciates reactors being independent. Have never seen one of their videos blocked or monetized. Check out Avi feqtured with them on their Johnny Cash cover of Ring of Fire. Also Home Free ft. Lee Greenwood and The US Air Force Band sing God Bless the USA.

Don McLean is doing an awesome job!

Tim is a Texan....Austin is rom Georgia, and Chance is from Alabama.

Don asked home free to do this with him

They did this in quarantine from each of their homes. They live in different states. I think Don requested that they do this with him.

He does have an accent. He's from the state of Georgia

I call Pentatonix a rabbit hole. I call Home Free a squirrel's nest because it is full of nuts. Adam Chance, first singer is from Alabama. Second, Austin Brown, from Georgia. The third one, Rob Lundquist, is from Minnesota as is the world champion human sound machine and vocal percussionist, Adam Rupp. Last but never least with a 5 octave range is speaker-blower Tim Foust from Texas. I am unable to choose between PTX and HF because I love music and theirs is unbeatable. You will find that there is comedy included in many HF videos and some of their outtake videos are hilarious. I have never heard a bad song from either. The members also have their own stuff same as PTX. And another artist with his own channel is Geoff Castellucci with a 6 octave range -- check out 16 Tons, Country Roads, and Blackbird. HF - Man of Constant Sorrow, End of the Road, When a Man Loves a Woman, It's In the Blood, Blue Ain't Your Color, Travelin' Soldier, Butts Remix, Honey, I'm Good, It's All About the Bass, God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood and the Air Force Band, Elvira with the Oakridge Boys, Folsom Prison, and Mayday (only after you have done many more). There are so many more but I am tired of writin' and you're tired of readin'!

And Recky, I get what you mean about watching people around you (and you, yourself) age. I am 63. You are just a young man in my eyes. Remember that age is only relative. We mark the passing of time with years, but it really, truly it is that you are only as old as you feel. In my case, my body feels like 90 (!) but inside my mind I am still 25! I love that you are young, yet have enough years behind you that you can appreciate a lot of the music of my generation, and even further behind that. That is why I love your KZfaq channel here, and many others like it. It makes me so happy that you are working to keep that music relevant to today. We had a ton of great music back in our day - like American Pie. And music of that time really did set the stage for the music of today, just as the jazz and big band music of my parent's generation influenced my generation of music. So it's all relative! Great job!

I like PTX I LOVE HOME FREE!!!!
