Country music groups aren’t typically 7-8 men who all sing. Usually, you would have a frontman, along with a guitarist, bassist, drummer, and pianist.
However, for the group Home Free they’re changing this narrative. Furthermore, partnering up with another group, The Oak Ridge Boys, they’re really pushing the boundaries.
In this song, “Elvira,” featuring The Oak Ridge Boys, Home Free, puts on a fantastic show of the depth that acapella country music can go—and they do a great job at doing so.
The Oak Ridge Boys were an appropriate group to feature on this song. Hailing from the birthplace of country music, East Tennessee, this group truly knows the roots of their sound.
The song “Elvira” is about chasing down a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of a girl named Elvira. While this is a typical subject matter for country music, they make this song stand out from the rest.
Singing entirely acapella, with just some beatboxing in the background, these two groups come together to form an absolutely captivating and incredibly unique sound.
You don’t usually picture what you see here when it comes to country music. However, with just a little bit of close listening, you’ll find that this song has everything it means to make a country music classic.
