Expressing my admiration of Home Free and their fans, the Home Fries, in my words. I do not personally know any members of Home Free Vocal Band, nor am I affiliated with Home Free in any way. I am a huge fan and my write ups here are my opinion and nothing more.
Hey y’all, I’m back! Home Free has gone and done it again. I
had to take time out of my busy schedule and watch a new video, over and over,
so I could blog about how much I love it! Darn the luck! Think a Little Less,
what a song. This song just does something to you when you hear it. And, of
course, Home Free puts their unique spin on it, then adds their boyish charm to
the video and BAM, another video to make the fans go…Oh My!
The song, alone, makes women swoon and guys want to hold
their ladies a little closer. Home Free’s video makes me feel like I just went
on the dream date of a lifetime! So much fun, all of them. Dinner was romantic
and yummy (pretty flowers but Rob is better); the movie and popcorn were just
right (and a hidden Reese’s, yum), the carriage ride was a fairy tale come true
(the blanket was a nice touch), the underwater sea life tunnel was incredible (Austin
in the bubble, too cute, and turtle!) and the drinks and conversation or song were the
perfect ending (the head nod at the end by Chance, sigh). I hope we get a second
date! Oh wait, well I still had an amazing time! Their smiles can make your
heart flutter.
Chance sang this song with sheer smooth splendor. He is
provocative, suave and inviting. Can I just say, with more simplicity, wow. My
fave five guys of Home Free did a fantastic job with their dates and with this
song. These guys have harmony in their blood, talent from their souls and an
aura of pure adorable with some to spare. I don’t know how they continue to
make videos that the fans crave and pick songs that they give their style and
make better. Their one of kind sound gives music so much depth and emotion. I
know I’m not alone when I say that Home Fries sit at the edge of the seat when
they see a Patreon email or post from Home Free with a new video. Some of us
even pull over on the side of the road to watch it, because we can’t wait until
we get where we’re going first. Great job on the song gentlemen and super cute video!
So, quick funny story, my anniversary it coming up soon and I
think I need to play this video repeatedly, in my husband's presence, to send a message.
Otherwise we’ll spend the evening watching the NFL draft, which is not a date I
saw in this video. #poorlychosenweddingdate #hubbydidmentiongoingdancing
#twosteppineven #thinkalittleless
I’m getting a little antsy about when I will get to see Home Free
in concert again, but I’m certain it will happen, this year! #subliminalsuggestionComeBackToTexas
#NOWplease But, in the meantime, I’m going to watch this video, again!
It’s time, once again to dive into, yet another, Home Free
video sensation with over a million views since March 31st. But first,
I think we can all agree that Blue Ain’t Your Color by Keith Urban is a very
seductive song and Keith is a wonderful fit for this beauty. Now enter Home
Free and their unique style and music of unmatched depth. They take this sultry
song and turn up the heat!
Rob’s sweet voice has wow'd us with songs like Honey I’m
Good, Colder Weather and 9 to 5. However, this song takes the number one spot on
the “holy smoke that boy can sing” list for Rob! His suave, silky tones gave me heart shivers. I love it! IMHO, he also ties Adam for
the best dance moves. Rob was killing it in this baby. He had me at “I can see
you over there…”
After melting with Rob’s charming start to this song, then comes
Chance and it starts all over again. His smooth, alluring voice and engaging
almost sad delivery was simply irresistible (was he singing to me?). I found
myself starting the song over after Chance’s solo, just to hear Rob and Chance
get things started again and again. This performance by Chance definitely hits
you in the heart strings.
Of course, what sets Home Free apart from other performers
is the all-encompassing musical talent they bring. From the sweet harmony of
Austin, Rob and Chance, to the low hums and thumps of Tim to the always
unbeatable percussion of Adam, whether it’s foot stomping or simple yet
significant. This song has every last bit of this unrivaled Home Free awesome
(as I call it). Not to mention those adorable dance moves that they guys had to
learn. They’ve come a long way since the Sing Off. Their hard work paid off
though, they looked quite fetching, especially with those splashes of blue!
Videos such as this, is what keeps the Home Fries, their
fans, coming back for more. More harmony, more bass, more vocal percussion,
more sultry voices and more of the fun, talent and delight that Home Free produces. Seeing
them live is the ultimate adventure, though. I missed them in Texas this
Spring, but I’m very hopeful they come back in the fall. You can see their tour
dates on http://homefreemusic.com/.
If, for some reason, you haven’t seen Home Free’s video of
Keith Urban’s Blue Ain’t Your Color, stop what you’re doing and watch it
NOW!

Happy Holidays fry friends and welcome guests! Wishing y’all
the best in the New Year! Well, once again the guys of Home Free have been busy
and now I’m behind. That’s OK, it’s not like y’all need me to tell you how
enjoyable Home Free videos are, but it sure is fun! I’m taking a different
approach to today’s review of Grandma got run over by a Reindeer, I hope you like
it!
The opening scene of this fine and goofy little Christmas
ditty was all I needed to see to know this one was going to bring tears of
laughter. Those of us that saw their A Country Christmas show knew those bright
and cheery clothes could only mean tons of fun, but now what I wasn’t expecting
was the #cutestcuddliestteddybeardressedasthemostadorableelfever! When Rob
walks away, defeated at the start, my heart just melted. But I wasn’t down for
long. The #UglyChristmassweatersuits that Austin and Tim are wearing are #theyugliestsuits
I’ve ever seen. However, #TimandAustinwearthemwell. The Adams as #saidReindeer
and #bearbutt are priceless. There are so many #kneeslappers in this little
gem, I’m not sure how many to mention. #blanksongbooks, #thefaces, #Timbeingsneaky,

I hope that wasn’t too hard to read, but I just felt this
silly work of art needed a special description that #onlyHomeFreedeserves. My
blog is short today (and those of you that have met me, insert short joke here)
but only because I have some baking, cooking and wrapping to do before Santa
comes tonight. I did want to give y’all a #ridiculousvideoreview for a
#ridiculousvideo this Christmas Eve. No matter what holiday you are celebrating
#HomeFreeandHomeFriescanmakeitbetter. #Watchoutforthemaninthesleighwhoplayswithelves
before you #staggeroutthedoorintothesnow! Spread a little cheer this holiday
season and get ready for 2017. I can’t wait to see what Home Free has in store
for us!
Just in case any of the guys stop by to see my daftness,
Merry Christmas to you and yours Adam R., Rob, Tim, Austin and Adam C.
Howdy Home Fries and guests! Today’s blog is a little
different, as I will be talking about a couple of exceptional collaborations
with great friends of Home Free, Peter Hollens and the one and only, Chris
Rupp. Two incredibly talented men on their own, then you add our fave five guys
of Home Free and you get nothing less than soul riveting music that will send
chills right down to your cowboy boots!
Home Free’s video of How Great Thou Art recently went viral
and this gospel trend sounds remarkable with these perfectly harmonious men.
Their new collaborations with old friends is no exception and building on that
viral uplifting climb they are soaring on.
What Child Is This, is one of the more divine Christmas carols.
Chris Rupp and Home Free take this song to a heavenly level. It was so good to
see Chris together with Home Free, it just felt right. They made a simple video
with a striking background in the caves. The shadows are superb! But the
vocals, oh my, the vocals. The men of Home Free, past and present, never
disappoint and this song and arrangement is an absolute example of their jaw
dropping, spine chilling vocal gifts. Chris makes your heart flutter and brings
you full into the song. The harmony sounds like it just happens with little to
no work, yet its complex and performed without flaw. Austin fills my ears with
pure delight when he chimes in with unequaled expressive energy. We all love
Tim’s ground shaking bold bass, but his voice in this song is almost beyond my
words. To be able to sing low and high, sweet and profound, spiritually and amazingly
low here, takes my breath away. These six men bring indescribable depth and passion
to this song. Thank you, Chris Rupp for sharing this with Home Free! The Home
Fries miss you, but we are very proud of what you’ve accomplished on your own
and with 7th Ave. All the best to you and congratulations on this
brilliant video.
Amazing Grace is a song that pulls at your heart strings, it’s
powerful and gripping. But grab hold of your boot straps, because this version
of the song will take you to a peaceful place that you’ll never want to leave.
Peter Hollens is always a treat to hear and has many videos of his own as well
as one with Home Free. When Peter picks a song this emotional and adds five more
men that possess more talent than a human should be allowed, you get a hymn
that can fill your very being with goodwill and tranquility. It was done so beautifully.
Each man added his own unique essence to the song. The video itself gives just enough
ambiance to enhance this virtuous song. I enjoy Peter’s work and it’s great to
see him work with Home Free again. This
is an impeccable arrangement of Amazing Grace and should do that viral thing in
no time. Gorgeous, gentlemen, simply gorgeous.
It was great seeing some fresh new
collaborations and I couldn’t have asked for better companions for Home Free than Chris Rupp
and Peter Hollens. These two songs are not available on a Home Free CD, right
now. However, you can get them on Chris Rupp's A Little Bit of Christmas CD and Peter Hollens' A Hollens Family Christmas CD’s
that have recently been released. And don't forget that Home Free has recorded their Full of Cheer Christmas CD as Full of (even more) Cheer with their new baritone/bass, Adam Chance. It's worth a listen to and features How Great They Art and a new studio recording of Colder Weather. Below are links to all their websites, where their Christmas and other CD's can be purchased.
I love Christmas music and a good spiritual song and I love the way these men have brought them back in style and with their own very special style!
Welcome my wonderful followers. I know I missed a review for
SOLD! However, I may let my 9 year old daughter write that review since she
loves that video, so stay tuned!
Every now and then you see or hear something that moves you
more than you thought it could. Well Ring of Fire by Home Free did over two
years ago, followed by I’ve Seen. Today it’s How Great Thou Art. Such a
powerful song on its own. A song that you can’t help but stop and listen to
(with your eyes closed), so you don’t miss anything. And yes, where I am
extremely partial to Home Free, when you hear them vocalize in perfect angelic
harmony this spiritual message, you will understand why these men have become
so popular.
Each man of Home Free brings his own unique and incredible
style to every song they perform, but How Great Thou Art takes this to a whole
new level. Dare I say to the heavens? Adam, our beloved vocal percussionist
sings and I think it’s fair to say, “and the crowd went wild.” So many Home
Fries have been talking about how much they love Adam’s voice. Well, he is a
Rupp, after all. Austin does what he does best, sing with passion and nothing
short of perfection. I can’t say enough about how far this young man has come
and the Home Fries adore Austin and are enchanted by his voice. Rob, well, that
“voice of angel”, elevated his fans right up to the clouds. The newest daddy of
Home Free sings with grace and love and so beautifully. Chance, with his smooth
vocals, gives the harmony a rich, uplifting sound that helps fill this song
with devoutness. Tim, then there’s Tim. From Mom to O Holy Night to Die a Happy
Man to How Great Thou Art, Tim has shown us that he has a soft, gentle side to
his big booming deep voice. And there’s nothing sweeter than a man with a
magnificent bass sound, sing so silkily and elegant. All this talent, all this
sigh-provoking beauty, harmony that sends chills down to your soul and words
that give your heart a reason to love and worship make for an immaculate video
and song.
If you haven’t seen Home Free’s video of How Great Thou Art
(do you live on the moon?), you need to watch it! My fave five deliver a
flawless performance alongside the exemplary scenery of The Alps behind them.
The scene where the six foot plus tall men of Home Free are so tiny amongst the
great mountains, says so much! I felt the true meaning of the song right there. Saying
I love this video/song just doesn’t seem to cover it. But, I’ll say it anyway,
I absolutely love How Great Thou Art, by Home Free.
FifGen you captured God’s great earth with amazing
precision. Simply gorgeous! My words are just my opinion, but the number of
views this video has and the attention is has and continues to receive, shows
that my opinion is shared by many others.
You can find this song on the Full of (Even More) Cheer, Home Free’s
re-release of their Christmas album Full of Cheer. You can pre-order your copy
at Walmart.com or at HomeFreeMusic.com. I can’t wait to see them on their A
Country Christmas tour!
Hey my wonderful Home Free blog junkies, I’ve missed blogging
more this summer! And while my life has been the proverbial roller coaster lately,
Home Free have been crazy busy professionally and personally! It’s hard to keep
up with them sometimes. I mean just this summer they’ve had videos galore, an
amazing birthday concert, engagements, babies, concerts in Europe, a TV
appearance and more videos! Damn, I’m tired just writing it out! I’m still
enjoying “Thank God I’m a Country Boy”. Just the other day, while getting ready
for school, my eight year old daughter says, “suns come up,” and we both broke
into “I got cakes on the griddle. Life ain’t nothing but a funny, funny
riddle…” There is nothing better than sharing classic music like this, with the
younger generations.
In August (my birthday month), they came out with two new
videos. One for the lovers and one for the partiers. Even though there was a
collective heart break when Tim announced his engagement to his sweet girl,
Jenika, the Home Fries wish them all the happiness in the world. And this video
of “Die A Happy Man,” is a wonderful tribute to them and their love. This song
is sexy and thought provoking (made my think of someone). Chance took it and
really gave it soul and love, I closed my eyes and just listened to his smooth
voice. Then he announced his own engagement! Yeah, love is the air for Home
Free! But back to the video for “Die a Happy Man”, it’s charming and cute to
see these two just being together and enjoying each other. And the song, well
the song just makes you want to be in young love. Great song, wonderful voices
bringing it to life by Home Free and a delightful tribute to love and Tim and
Jenika. Home Free’s pure talent is so apparent and spectacular in this song, it’s
definitely a must hear! Kudos for this little gem, it’s guaranteed to make you
smile.
Then we shift over to a different kind of song and video
with “Snapback”. I had never heard this song, so when we got the teaser about
the new video, I went out and gave it a listen. Fun song with a beat that’s
hard to resist. But, as has happened so many times, then Home Free got a hold
of it. Yes, I am in love with Home Free’s version of this song! They
sound full and rich. The video, well now, let’s not lie, we all enjoyed the
view of our guys! We all enjoyed the diving amusement and silliness (Adam’s
little surprise at the end, lol!). However, I think the video was truly stolen
by, yep, you guessed it, the froggy float!!! He’s so cute and so is Tim when he
jumps in with froggy. So, a little end of summer jollies from my fave five guys,
to a great song! I often play “Snapback” three or four times when it comes on
my playlist, just because it makes me happy and I can’t sit or stand still!
That was a bit of a quick rundown of these two videos,
mainly because they have another one coming out soon, so I decided to get
caught up before the next one. Which we all know will be another Home Free
amazing song and video! They just can’t do things any way but AWESOME!
Howdy faithful followers! Welcome back to the foolish prose
that runs through my mind about these endlessly talented and respectful men of
Home Free. I never did blog about Tim’s birthday bash, but it was a once in a
lifetime concert that I will take with me to my grave. I felt 25 again and I
wish the night had gone on forever. I didn’t have near enough time to talk to all
the wonderful fries I met for the first time and the music took me to my happy
place. So instead of a play by play, I will just say Thank You Tim Foust and friends for an
evening that made me feel incredibly alive and blissful. I had planned
this long, emotional and sappy blog about My Church, but my perspective got
lost in my absolute love for the song. So, I had to take a step back and
re-think the whole write up. In the meantime, my fave five released another new
video!!! So now I’m three events behind and life has been crazy, but a good
crazy! So I will try to plow through the harried thoughts in my head and share
my opinion of My Church and Thank God I’m a Country Boy. Sounds like our boys
are getting spiritual and I know the Home Fries are loving every note of it!
My Church, this song is brilliant and brings back a world of
“stuff”! All good “stuff” and I really can’t get enough of it! I have heard the
original and Maren Morris does a beautiful job. Her unique, smoky voice
gives the song an inspirational edge. Well, you know what’s coming, I’m sure.
That’s right, then Home Free got a hold the song. Honestly, I’m running out of
ways to say how deep, rich, passionate and flat out ridiculous their voices sound. Nothing, and I mean nothing, can slow these guys down. Every time
I think ‘how are they going to out do this?’, they do! Their spin on My Church
is almighty and riveting. I’ve mentioned before how each of these guys, on
their own has impressive talent, and when you put them all together, their
music is without flaw. The video was one of their simple, but moving videos
that gives you just enough to look at without taking away from their pure and
unblemished voices. I’ve always enjoyed how you get to hear all of them
highlighted in most of their songs, and My Church is one of the best. You could
feel the words of this song, from their hearts. This one was definitely on a
replay loop for several days. Oh, and damn nice car, Nate! So, standing ovation
for My Church, gentlemen! Without a doubt, top notch vocals and exceptional choice of theme for the video.
Thank God I’m a Country Boy. OK, I was my daughter’s age
when this song came out. Yes, I did like John Denver, but didn’t appreciate him
until I was a little older. When I saw the song title in the Patreon message I
said, “Oh, this is going to be fun!” Goofballs, they are such goofballs.
Loveable, adorable, gifted goofballs! Of course, the guys sounded harmoniously
perfect and gave it the unbeatable Home Free style, not to mention the spirited
yodeling! But I have to give this one to the video! No, those aren’t cakes on
the griddle and should Tim really have an axe? Did anyone else think of the
Beverly Hillbillies while watching this video? What are they raking? Never mind,
I don’t want to know. Austin’s city life was highly amusing, but the boys
without him was even funnier! Home Freemont, LOL! Beer and farm tools, SMH (could end badly). And
should Tim have lighter fluid? Maybe in the next video, Chance or Rob should
handle the dangerous items (Adam’s hands are usually busy air drumming). Love
it! The faces they make are priceless, another part of their one-off charm!
This is one of those videos you must watch over and over to focus on one guy
each time, to fully absorb their expressions. And yes, thank God they are
country boys! We wouldn’t want them any other way!
Thank God I’m a Country Boy is definitely a knee slapping,
spoon tapping, goofy video that Home Fries are going to enjoy sharing and
watching over and over again. My Church got attention from everywhere, as well
it should! Two more winning videos by Home Free!
