Up until now I thought that closing shot was accomplished using a drone-mounted camera. I had not considered a camera operator standing in the bucket of an excavator. Thanks for the info.

I always liked Avi putting on the black cowboy hat. It reflects his personality like saying "Usually I'm doing pop, but today I'm a country singer!" He was the PTX member that was actually into folk & country music the most. Also you & he wearing it in the video is like a nod to Johnny Cash.

Keep up the amazing work with your own things, i still need to listen to quite a few to be perfectly honest.

So great to get this background information! Loved hearing about the excavator, and the full story of the cowboy hat. I've always said that when Avi slips off his trademark PTX beanie (it has the PTX logo) and puts on the cowboy hat, it's a tribute to all of you and especially to Tim's final note. I'm a PentaFry, dating from the first time I saw this video. Oh, and thanks for letting us hear your solo voice at the end. It's beautiful.

Chris, I'm not sure how much influence you've got with HF (& others) but I've often thought that an A Cappella quartet with Adam Chance doing the high tenor part in his natural pitch, Tim F, Avi K & Geoff C singing a little bit lower as the low tenors/baritones could be amazing... I know it'd take some work & timing to get the group together and also pick the right tunes, but I think it would be great.

I hope when touring can begin again; Home Free decides to hit up Florida in their tour (hint, hint, I live in NE Florida). I watched all your performances in the Sing Off and they were all fantastic. My top two videos are Ring of Fire and A Man of Constant Sorrow. Over the top singing, creation and production of these videos. I have also had fun watch the videos where people (often voices coaches) critique these videos. I am sorry your left the group, Chris. But, it looks like you are happy in the path you decided for your career to go. Thanks for this background and critique on this video. It was fun.

It's so awesome of you to do these reactions! So thank you for the new batch of vids to binge watch haha. My mum is not a big fan of any of the other Acapella groups I've shown her (she's very particular with what kinds of voice timbres she actually likes haha) but as soon as I showed her Country Fried Pop Medley she was so impressed and actually asked me to play more of your songs! This may seem silly but, thank you for providing me with music that I could actually share with her and that she thoroughly enjoyed. It's very rare I get to do that :). I'm not sure how far afield you would want to go with the reactions but there's a singer I love that just (I think) has a really lovely quality to his voice and really plays with mixing genres and influences across a lot of the music he puts out. You may have already heard of him but if not he's called Dimash Kudaibergen, he's Kazakh, and he shot to internet infamy after performing in an invite only contest in China for pro singers; so lots of really strong competitors. The song I'd usually suggest as an intro is called SOS, it's a French (Quebec) song from the Musical Starmania. But it isn't sung in a typical musical theatre style. Not sure if it'll be something you'd enjoy but even if you don't do a video may I suggest at least looking him up in your down time as it's just a fascinating way to approach music without being bound by genres which I always felt was firmly in Home Free's wheelhouse :). Anyway I'll go find a link just in case you would like to take a gander. Either way thank you so much for being a creator of the group that gave me music that made my mum sing along and ask for repeats! Thank you. P.s here is the link for Dimash singing SOS. The translation is done from the Chinese equivalent rather than from French straight to English and honestly it makes the lyrics far less clunky and more relatable than if going from French to English, ahh the imperfections of translation ha!
