The winners of The Sing Off, Home Free have a great new song out.
I’ve been hearing these songs on AOL Radio the last couple weeks and I didn’t know what to make of them. Finally I looked into things and realized the songs were by new country band, Home Free. After a little more digging I realized these guys were the stars of the show The Sing Off. I had no idea. I feel like my head has been in the sand.
Anyway, these guys have a new album out with a few covers and a few originals. Here is my favorite original, Any Way The Wind Blows.
Any Way The Wind Blows – Home Free
I think the song is about life and love. You can definitely feel right away that it’s an upbeat song and that the narrator feels like he’s on top of the world. From what I can hear in the lyrics it’s about the guy promising to do all the things that will make the girl happy. He wants to be with her forever and give her the things she deserves no matter where that takes them.
The obvious story with these guys is that they’re a vocal group. They do all the background sounds with their vocals. I’ve always thought these groups were really cool and really talented. It probably goes back to those Folgers coffee commercials in the ’90s with the Rockapella. Those guys were awesome. Maybe this is the country version although I guess we’ve had the Oak Ridge Boys and the Statler Brothers in the past.
And now we have Home Free and they sound great.
What do you think?

Love this song! It is upbeat with a catchy tune and great vocals. Find myself singing it at work 🙂 These guys are fantastic…
I watched the Sing Off from the first night and knew Home Free would win. Their harmonies are so tight and they just needed that edge of competition to bring them up to their A game. Now they just need the air time on radio that they earned and the package would be complete.
Love these guys. This is one of my favorites on the album. You really get to hear all of their voices. Pretty amazing! Have been following the boys since the Sing Off and they seem to be a very down to earth group. Something that is much appreciated. They are so talented. Hope everyone gives them a look. Two things – If you want to see something funny try their “Guilty Pleasures” bit from their concerts (utube). Second, have fun.
