Finnish Vocal Coach Reacts: Home Free "Man of Constant Sorrow" (SUBS) // Äänikoutsi reagoi

Ms. Vaskelainen, your reaction to this song is easily in the top 3 on YT. I can say that with confidence because I have listened to hundreds of them, and I have the playlist to prove it. Because I lack originality, I will repeat what I've said elsewhere: In 50 years, this is what HomeFree will be known for. Great reaction, I'm looking forward to many more from you.

When people mention that Adam Rupp is the only one in the group without facial hair, they don't realize that he needs to manipulate his hands and mouth as he makes these sounds and a beard would interfere with that ability.

Thank you. You don't just give an analysis, but an appreciation. This music deserves such.

In my whole life I have never favored a single band or singer. But for a good year now, I can't get away from these great guys. This video is one of the first I've seen from these guys and it took me a while to be sure - there is no harmonica. Home Free - these are five exceptional top talents. Great reaction, thanks!

I add my request you react to their cover of Dire Straits “Brothers in Arms”. It is an extremely powerful performance and for added incentive they utilized (with permission) the arrangement used by the Finnish group Club for Five.

Adam was doing a harmonica, and at the very beginning and the end, Chance was doing a Jews Harp, or mouth harp sound. If you watch the end, Chance is the last one they show and you can see how mouth making that sound.

Occasionally someone or group can capture the essence of a song so perfectly that even the original artist(s) will acknowledge it. This is one of those occasions, it's their song now.

These guys have a remarkable range of genres in which they excel and still give a good country twist. To follow up this one, you may want to react to their cover of Boyz 2 Men's "End of the Road" and/or a cover of Crosby, Still, and Young's "Helplessly Hoping". At any rate, it's a very deep rabbit hole. Have fun!

This song blew me away when I first heard it & I was completely hooked. These guys are all so talented. They lean towards country but they can do any genre. They all can take the lead depending on whos voice is best for the song. They are known for their tight harmonies. Tim Foust is one of the best bass singers out there & their beatboxer vocal percussionist Adam Rupp can simulate any sound. This song is very old & is done in the bluegrass country style. It was used in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney.

Anna -- you have to stop creating such interesting and perceptive reactions. Really, it's not fair to other vocal analysts. Your reactions are just outstanding. Your excellent bilingual skills mean that I'm learning to understand Finnish.

To hear Austin's yodel check out All About That Bass. Also, you need to check out How Great Thou Art, Auld Lang Syne, Crazy and Blue Ain't Your Color. The sound at the beginning imitates a jaw harp or Jews Harp.

To hear their blend and precision check out their cover of "Helplessly Hoping". To hear them move out of country they do a cover of "American Pie" with the original singer Don McClean.

That starting sound is actually mimicking a mouth harp. Chance is the one who actually does that sound. Thank you Anna for checking out Home Free, they are a lot of fun, and spot on in their application of techniques. So says the music nube. haha. Love from Florida.

Harmony challenge is magnificent in their Helplessly Hoping version where Adam Rupp does NOT do any beatboxing. Thanks for your wonderful analysis and reaction!

More Home Free please! Also you would find Tim's solo "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay" very interesting...

Old Kentucky vibes starting with a little bit Australian Didgeridoo, great country acapella of this male group. Vocal harmonica sound suggesting playing this instrument which actually is not there. Home Free, such a brilliant acting performance with the song Man in Contant Sorrow in perfect music harmony.

Both Tim and Austin have done some exceptional singles. Austins "Bring Him Home" from Les Miserables is exceptional.

I think you've noticed more of their unique style in this video than most reactors do. The soundscape at the beginning is often missed (the record crackling, for instance, is produced by Adam Rupp, the beatboxer). Did you notice that when Tim's line was repeated, he was down an octave? Their talent is deep and wide. I hope you continue to react to this group. Home Frys, as the fans are called, are usually kind and loyal. I have subscribed and will return to hear your intelligent dissection. You are a master of your craft.

For another harmonic solo check out their song Ain't Going Down til the Sun Comes Up.

There cover of Mayday is phenomenal and will surprise you.
