Thanks for watching & sharing â€ïž
It was great!
Thanks for sharing your gift with us â€
Thanks Tim! You guys are the best!
you welcome!
Hey Tim!!
Thanks so much for watchin' y'all :-)
Thank you guys. Love you all
Thank you for covering this song!!! Beyond fabulous!
Grew up with Kenny. Only thing Moultrie had to listen to back then.... keep the songs coming... fantastic.
you welcome!
Hey Austin!!
The phrase 'too tired to sleep' makes no sense until it happens to you. Then you laugh at everyone who's still confused about it.
Miserably tired, not the least bit sleepy!
Had this issue since I was a baby. If I donât nap I am up all night!
@@terryenby2304 Still nap and am up most of the night
dealin with it right now as i'm typing this.....
Back in high school I hated coffee but sometimes drank it to get to sleep. No one understood why it worked. You can be too tired to relax, to sleep.
At this point, I firmly believe that Adam is at least half Casio synthesizer by birth.
So true!
He is brilliant.
Adam was killing the bass.
Agreeeee
@@godschozen1000 He means Rupp. The beatboxer.
Thanks so much for watching our tribute to the late, great Kenny Rogers. We hope youâre all staying healthy and safe out there.
We are waiting for the concerts to open again and life to get back to normal. Need football. Go Vikings!
This one had me in tears yall are amazing
This was AWESOME
I Knew there was a Reason Why I Couldn't Wait To See It
AWESOME video Guys
Thanks Rob, loved it. †you guys!!
Thank you so much for the tribute to Kenny Rogers saw him in person twice such an entertainer. Your rendition of the song was just perfect. You all entertain us with your music and videos I think you all are awesome. You keep safe also. â€ïž
They should sell their own HomeFree deck of playing cards. I would definitely buy a few decks! They could have each of the guys be one of the four Kings, and then one of them be the Joker. The question is, who would be the Joker?
Austin or Adam Rupp as the Joker!!!
Adam, of course. D'oh !
Tim
@@cammedved2427 Nah, Tim is my King of Hearts
whitehenker lol. Good one.
I am genuinely so happy Austin wasn't the lead here. There is no doubt that Austin is exceptionally talented, it was just really cool to hear the consistent quality every singer has in this group. Literally any of them can be the lead, and it was cool to hear all of them have a moment for that.
And each one has something different to offer!âșïž
Does the beat box guy also sing? I'm no sure I've heard him.
@@terrietravis3203 He does but itâs rare - I canât remember the song Iâm thinking ofâŠmaybe Go Rest High on that mountainâŠgoes without saying itâs one that doesnât really have percussion. đ
@@terrietravis3203 He does sing, for example in How Great Thou Art, but its really rare and mostly very brief. When he does sing, its really beautiful because he has an amazing tenor voice.
He does sing harmonies though, for example in Helplessly Hoping and Auld Lang Syne, he doesn't beatbox at all, he's just harmonizing alongside the others
TOO TRUE!!!
I have always loved Kenny Rogers and you guys did him proud. I would love to hear your version of "Coward of the County"
I second this! I'm sure he'd be smiling if he heard this!
Yessssssss bring it on
My absolute favorite Kenny Rogers song, so I have reservations on this lol... I know they can do it, but still. Kenny's voice was just so unique.
True...I love to hear it also
I was JUST ABOUT to request this. I see it has already been done. Guys, this is my A#1 FAVORITE Kenny Rogers song...would LOVE to see y'all's take on it...please note the double southern contraction...totally understand if you don't wish to touch this one.
I want to thank you guys. My husband passed away a couple weeks ago and he absolutely loved this song. Today is our 14th anniversary and it's crazy that you guys covered this today of all days. Thank you again so much. Although I'm crying, they're happy tears because I know he would have loved your cover, just like he adored your cover of elvira
My condolences, and thank you for sharing. There are dark days, but we can always try for a future.
Im so sorry to hear about your loss. Im sending you warm wishes for Peace that passes understanding. May you find comfort in the positive memories of your husband.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you guys so much for the warm wishes. It's really hard right now, especially with this stupid virus. I wasn't able to see him at all before he passed and I'm struggling to explain it to our daughter. She just turned 3 about a week after he passed. I know eventually it won't hurt as bad and I'll be able to have the good memories of the last 14 years.
SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
Guys, everyone should subscribe. No way they should still be just over 1 million.
embarrassed to realize that I hadn't clicked, really. It's done now.
Very good song thank you home free
I heard they lost some after Everybody Walkin' this Land....and its a shame those that unsubbed were the ones that video really was aimed at !!!
They really deserve so much more.
@@miamidolphinsfan That leaves REAL fans to enjoy/appreciate their incredible music!đđ
This is my daughter's lullaby, never failed to get her to stop crying. She is 15 now, so many memories of singing this to herâ€
Why Iâm picturing rain hitting a window, and distant thunder in the background while quietly singing this on a whisper, I donât know, but its a heartwarming image.
The beatboxing guy being the dealer seems absolutely perfect for reasons I cannot explain.
Amazing as always, friends!! Kenny would be very proud đ
Yes he would
YES HE WOULD. GREAT TRIBUTE.
I just watched your video with Peter Hollens ! And now I see this ! Love your singing. Blessings from California đŠ đ¶
Hey, me and two more friends want to make a cover of your cover of "We three kings". I hope it's ok
This would be an amazing song to remember Kenny Rogers.
What do you mean "would be"?
I only knew about Kenny Rogers because of this song. As do many people that I know.
@@eliashuapilla He had many other good ones too. âșïž
@@jamiecee4960 yes he does. I'm fan of his. You have my mom to thank for that. She loves country music. She's also a huge John Schneider fan. He played the original Bo Duke in "The Dukes of Hazzard " tv show, and he played Jonathan Kent in Smallville
Adam's voice fits this song perfectly
Do you mean chance that's what everyone calls him
The guy that does the beat boxing is one talented dude!!!!
Oh yes.....can't wait to react to this one..... đđđđđ
Can you also React to RĂžze "More than you know"?
Hey guys
Did you guys miss diamond dreams or did I miss your reaction
@@droid8472 we have reacted to it but we haven't put it on CZcams yet. We are way off on our recording sessions. We basically have to bulk record on the weekends
@@KingFamilyReacts no problem just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy. I mean I probably am but that's for other reasons
I grew up with my dad playing Kenny Rogers almost every day and The Gambler has always been my favorite song of his. I cried when I heard of his passing this year and it made my heart so happy today when I saw that yâall covered this song.
Thank you for using your God given talents to honor a legend.
I got brought up listening to country music is t only good thing I got from my ex stepdad
@@Wheelstar72 What a wonderful tribute to Kenny! Thanks guys!
hi from Australia Kelly, I just had to reply to your comment as it brought back memories. Not sure how old you are but I'm 44 and when I was a kid Dad had a radio in the bathroom, next my bedroom, that played country all day every day. For my 10th birthday he bought me a cassette player and 'Kenny Rogers 20 Greatest Hits'. I wore the tape out.
Hello how are you doing
Kenny is grinning in heaven listening to these wonderful men and their voices. Did Kenny proud
They definitely kept the Ace he dealt them ... Rest easy Gambler.
Kenny Rogers would have loved this.
I think CZcams needs a †button. Kenny would be flattered and pleased with this. I love it!
Lana M yes!
đŻ percent YES
Can we appreciate the editing here? Itâs awesome!
Masters of social distancing music videos.
Hello how are you doing
In "Children Go Where I Send Thee", Kenny Rogers didn't want to be referred to as a Legend because it made him sound like he was dead. Now, as for his wishes, we can refer to him as he truly is, a Legend.
If only it were that easy to DO what the gambler tells himâŠ
I think I've just fallen in love with the beatboxer. He's so effortlessly cool.
First the remember Harold Reid, now Kenny Rogers who Home Free had already done a song with. This is just wholesome.
and Charlie Daniels...they covered his DEVIL WENT DOWN IN GEORGIA too
Fran Blakely, âThe Devil Went Down TO Georgia.â Someone going down in Georgia sounds like a porno. đ
@@DennisKovacich that would down on Georgia lmao
Michelle Munn, they could go down on Georgia anywhere, or go down on anyone in Georgia. It works either way.
What I love about you guys .. everyone get to sing.. it's not just one lead singer ..and let me tell you that beat box guy.... is fire.. đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„.. keep it up guys
I love listening to your song and I feel as if I am in heaven.i also like the way you guys make beatđđđđ
I honestly believe your group's strongest quality is your respect for the great performers that came before you! That is why someone one day will be so honored to sing with you.
Ain't none guite as good as Home Free!!! And this from a 65 yr. old metal head!
Donald Monarch,Couldn't agree with you more at 64.
I couldn't agree more! I'm not a fan of country music, but I love Home Free. And I can't stop listening to them! I listen to them several times a day.
Would this be a Tribute to the Late Kenny Rogers? They had one with him and it was GREAT!!!
I AM SO READY TO SEE THIS ONE.
HF LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR...
And? What do you think of it?
Yes I'm sure it is. They did a song with him awhile back.
@@cindyb.9840 There is not one song HF sings or collabs that I don't LOVE.
HF did a collab with Kenny Rogers before he past and I think he would have LOVED their version also.
I am a Patreon of HF, I am a very serious Home Fry đđđđđ
@DeborahSacher I feel the same. About their songs and Kenny's most likely reaction to this one. Didn't know you were a patron too, just wondered what your reaction would be after seeing it
@@michellejolly3511 they did a collab - "Children Go Where I Sent Thee"
But that was like... Years ago
I love to play boardgames, Scrabble and Sadoakooo...I used to Like to PLay any kind of Poker but for Money...JUst throwing it out the window like it was nothing...I stillpay cards but not with BIg Money, JUst loose change and only with family...I used to invite all of my daughters Cousins to come over for randomgame nights. I stay in my room but I can hear the laughter from my room and it gave me a sense of peace and calm. đ„°đđ€©
Hello đ how are you đđ
My moms favorite Kenny song
Hello how are you doing
Kenny Rogersâ âThe Gamblerâ was the first vinyl album I ever owned, and I still have it. Great tribute, guys!
its a keeper
I like how the are doing songs honoring the greats of country music that have passed on recently. Kenny, Harold and I'm sure there will be more....still keeping us entertained on Home Free Fridays...
Charlie Daniels too
Adam Rupp, you have outdone yourself in this one! Excellent beatboxing and acting! Wow!đ„°â„ïž
I got a 8 year old doughter who is autistic. She loves this song so muchđ I have no idea why, but it doesn't metter. I love Home free myself. Greetings from Lithuania guys! â€ïžđ
I would love to see them do a cover of âSeminole windâ by John Anderson.
Ooh!! Perfect!! I could totally see that! â€
Redneck Girl by the Bellamy Brothers or American Made by the Oaks
Ohhhh hell yes.
About Remember When by Allen Jackson.
Yes!
Nearly 3am in Australia and Iâm in bed waiting to hear this song before I go to sleep
great lullaby đ Sleep well
Totally acceptable work excuse.
My buddy's best advice to me growing up in the mid-90's: "If you're gonna play the Gameboy, you gotta learn to play it right."
I moved to Georgia when I was 3 and grew up with a Step-father who grew up as a country farm boy of North Georgia in the 50's. My Step-father was such a big part of my life that I called him Dad. Growing up he loved this song by Kenny Rogers and he would sing it all the time. Dad passed away back in 2020. Now every time I hear this song I tear up. You guys did a great job and thank you for giving us this rendition. I just wish I could have had the chance to show my Dad this version.
Loved this song when Kenny sang it and Love it with Home Free singing it. Kenny Rogers would be honored.
Bloody teases! See them in my feed with one of my favourite songs.... click on it just to see that I have to wait nearly 2 more days...>sniff
Exactly what happened to me!!!
LOL! Me too! I was (and still am) so excited!
Came through my Google news feed.... seriously? I already subscribe for updates I don't need a link that leads to essentially nothing. Might as well have been Rick.
Join Patreon, you can see it now! :)
If you join their Patreon for as low as $1 per video you can see these at least two days in advance of the premier :) If you join at the $15+ level you will see the incredible behind the scenes(making of the video) videos that are usually hilarious to watch :)
Frankly the best cover I've ever heard of this song since the late great Kenny Rogers. I just wish he was here to hear it himself.
Honestly, i prefer so many if their covers to the original
Crystal Cummins I definitely wouldnât put any of their covers over the original but all their covers are second or third depending on the song
I HAD NEVER HEARD OF HOME FREE. I AM NOW A BIG FAN, GREAT VOICES.
Same! I found them by accident, watching reaction videos. I am from oz and hope they have plans to tour here. Otherwise Iâll go to them!
Yo! Me too. I was recommended grandma got run over by a reindeer. Cause I like the original. And I lost all my sleep last night. Cause. Home free.
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!!! I would love to hear them sing "Oh what a beautiful morning" from the Musical Oklahoma with Tim starting it off.
Oh hell yes
That would be both amazing and hilarious.
YEAH BUDDY
Oh Lord, YES!!
Gentlemen Mr. Rogers is smiling I'M sure. Thank you for sharing your talent.
There's a lot of life advice in that song.
Hello
@@perrywhite3955 bye
I still blows me away that theyâre not even in the same city.
Y'all should do something by Joe Diffie who passed away a few months back. Third Rock From the Sun!!!
John Deere green
Pick up man is a great song too
John Deere Green!
Pick-up Man!!
Prop me up beside the jukebox
Who else feels that this song makes you feel positive? Great tribute to Kenny Rogers!
I just have to say that Adam Rupp did not swallow a drum kit đ„ ... He swallowed a sound board .... and Mr Foust ... well he just swallowed a Grand Piano đč cause I am sure he can go from the bottom to the top of it with no effort .... Austin talks to the birds high up in the sky đŠ .... Rob swallowed a piece of silk đ..... and Chance he swallowed a keyboard đč .... Home Free is just AWESOMENESS ... God created 5 ANGELS đđđđđand sent them down to this place we call "the world" to show the rest of us how to make music đŒ and how to sing ii đ€ luv luv luv them .... luv from Australia đŠ đ„°đđ€©đâș
I want to thank you guys for honoring Kenny Rogers and not re-writing it for a remake. You honored him by doing his song and and doing it right.
There's Tim "Fievel" Foust looking like the most villainous mouse in the west. Patrons will know what I'm talking about. đ
hahahahhaha
Haven't seen that movie in years.
Is it just me or has he lost weight as well.
@@ferusblack8821 i thought that too, got shorter hair/ has that covid 19 stress gray going on ( joking đ)but he is looking awesome

@@Marcell0Bass sounds like chest to me. Tim can without a doubt chest that low so I don't get why he wouldn't
@@joeysusi4538 i don't think anything here was chest fry. Tim's voice just kinda sounds like that
I remember watching this movie, The Gambler, when it came on TV around mid late 80's with Kenny Roger's and Reba. My daddy taped it for my Gma cause it ended past her bedtime lol
They're using all different-looking poker chips, which is the most 2020 part of the video. Love.
Tim one Texan to another, and a baritone/ bass to another , you guys just keep on impressing and knocking them outta the park. Love you guys.
Thank you so much for doing a tribute to K.R. But--I gotta say, I love him doing "Children Go" with you so much. But this is a grand salute. Thank you for being the kind of men who honor your fellows and the men and women who went ahead of you. Integrity matters more than it ever has. Thanks for demonstrating it.
Hello M.B. happy new year looking beautiful in your profile how are you doing today?
Hello how are you doing
I'm back to watch this...again. It's my one true guilty pleasure.
Hello sandy
How are you doing today?
It is so rare for the remake to be just as good as the original. You guys really are an awesome group.
I love, love, love this group. They are amazing. I also like looking at them. No, I'm not a stalker. Lol. Is it just me or is Adam looking extra handsome today?
You guys are getting us through some really bad times. Love all your songs and vedios. Keep them coming!!!!!
the fly above tims head at 1:57 be like:
I love this so much I won't suck your blood.
We all are gamblers anonymously... The game is called... *Life*... Thumbs up to home free and hope Kenny z playing them cards right wherever he may be...
Who would ever dislike this
1:37 Adam does a "wuuuuubly wooiublyy" and it's awesome! Love you guys. HF is growing up so fast to a legendary a cappella and Country band we'll all be proud we heard them at their prime.
You boys have outdone yourselves this time. Kenny would be proud.
That card throw was unexpected
For anybody wonderin: Tim Foust: Bass, Rob Lundquist: Tenor/Soprano, Austin Brown: Alto, Adam Chance: Tenor, and Adam Rupp: The Beatbox dude
This has always been one of my favorites by Kenny Rogers. Lady would be another good one for y'all to do.
Home Free did another song with Kenny a few years ago. "Children Go Where I Send Thee". It was catchy and toe tapping!
My bet is, it's gonna be good!
Not much of gamble...
0/10 pun
no indeed Mr. Tomi
@@dyllpickle8890 Well ,that's true. However English isnt his first/ native language, but I can understand what he meant.
Why hello Tomi
Hey look its Tomi Pđ. Okay now let's see when peter Hollens shows upđ
I believe I heard this song for the first time on The Muppet Show with Mr Rogers as a guest star.
I love how they effortlessly had everyone "sitting around the table", despite the black tablecloth being a different material and none of the chips matching!
I would love to hear you guys do The Coward of the County
Honestly, it might be the best song that they have realeased since Helplessly Hoping came out.
Felt like a good book ended when Kenny Rogers died. Listened to him growing up.
Goodbye Kenny Rogers, this is not forever. We'll see you again *salute*
I will start saying that HomeFree is my 100% favorite band. They always make pretty amazing arranges, sometimes better than the original. Imma have to say, this time I will prefer the original, that is a masterpiece and not much can be done to make it better. Home free made it awesome, but Kenny is something else.
I totally love HF as well and I liked this but I love the original and I feel this would have been better with just Chance and Tim doing the main parts. I love Robs voice but this wasnât the right song for it
Another fantastic cover! My husband says he likes this version even better than how Kenny Rogers sang it!
I find that with a lot of their songs
I miss k. Roger's. Home free , I love them.
Hello how are you doing
This would be even better if there was a version with Kenny Rodgers. But there is so much potential for 2 parts of everything on this
I've always loved this song, but yours is now my favourite version.
Mine too. đ
đ, oh yea.
This is a great version, however, the late great Kenny Rogers version is the greatest of all.
Chance and Adam look likes thier pros at gambling
Sage Tatakis And Tim looks very confused, like "what am I supposed to do with these things?"
Love Rob but I think the whole table saw his hand.
We even got to see a little of Adam's talents!
Hello đ how are you đ
Home run for Home Free
Great job and what a wonderful tribute to Kenny Rogers as well.
Kenny was the only known singer I ever met in real life...while I was a kid in a children's hospital in the 70's, he had a bunch of us visit a practice for a local concert. This is the only song I remember from that time, and you know.....I think he would be proud.
Hello
@@perrywhite3955 bye
I showed to my wife Man of constant sarow video. And she fall in love with you guys.. But Gambier now hers favorite song. â€ïž
I will argue till the day I die that this is the best country song ever.
OMG! This was freaking AMAZING! Adam's beat, Tim sneaking in those low notes. Adam, Rob, and Austin with their beautiful voices. I'm so glad you're entertaining all of us through this pandemic. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. RIP Kenny Rogers.â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€
My dad used to play this song on the cassette player in the car during our drives. It was also one of the first songs I had on my first MP4 player though he was the one who asked for it.
On a side note, I heard a long time ago that this song isn't about poker but about women.
Home Free is the Only Group I know that has Gotten Famous by Performing Covers.
Oh yeah an Acapella Version of âThe Gamblerâ. Wonderful. These Boys rock. I love Music. Itâs the essence of my Life â€ïž
I always love it when Tim does the bass harmony line like the old school classic country, this one and My Church are great examples and of course Elvira. Even Flowers on the Wall. I'd love to hear more classics from yall. I'm also very glad that, with Chance, there is more of a rounded mid section to the harmonies. Honestly I love all of you so much. So much talent, heart, and soul in you all; A beacon of bright light leading by example. Blessings to you and yours and Stay Safe, yall.
Agreed...especially about Chance...the way he shifts his gaze from the camera to his left just melts my heart.
This song reminds me of my great grandfather. I sat in his kitchen learning to play cards every weekend. It never dawned on me that dropping him off to work as a poker player was weird. I can say this,I loved him and I know how to play cards.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND FAMILY đTHANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE TO LISTEN TO YOU ALL â€ïž
Hello Vikki. How are you doing?
@@smithwilliam9169 doing good
Just love listening to home free music and just all the guys.
It helps with all this bad stuff going around. I can just relax and calm down . Thank you
I like how all their chips are different styles, even though they're supposed to all be playing each other. It would have been hilarious if they each had a different deck of cards, too.
One of my favorite country songs of all time. Thanks Home Free for doing it major justice. Wonderful!
Great job, guys, as usual! Tim looks like he has lost weight.
Tim & Rob both have.
He looks older but voice is still there.
He lost hair weight đ
So has Rob. They both are looking good. đ
The new haircut looks great on Tim
*The Meaning Behind The Lyrics* [and their meaning to me]
Schlitz [the writer] wasnât involved in gambling, he related the lyrics to the song to the advice he had received from his father before he passed away. The meaning of the song is more about life than it is about gambling. Life is uncertain and unpredictable... In 2014 I was worth âŹ6 million and live in a penthouse apartment next to an opera singer, he used to sing this song whilst practising. It was amazing. In June of that year I suffered brain damage in a mugging and lost everything, became homeless and bankrupt. Ironically the opera singer singing this song is one of my few good memories of being rich.
Being rich is nothing like the movies and the mugging was a massive blessing in disguise... I am infinitely happier now than I ever was whilst rich.
