Home Free Salute America On New Project ‘Land Of The Free’

/by

Home Free are serving up a helping of American pride and a message of unity on their latest project, Land Of The Free, which features some familiar covers, country favorites, and all-star collaborations. The special salute to the red, white and blue is due out June 25 via Home Free Records, with pre-orders available now.

The 10-track project aims to bring a sense of unity to all those who hear it and includes all-new versions of tunes that underscore the spirit of the nation like harmonious renditions of Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA,” Tim McGraw and Tyler Hubbard’s “Undivided” and Brooks & Dunn’s  “Only in America.” The set also features a stirring rendition of “God Bless The U.S.A.” featuring Lee Greenwood and The United States Air Force Band, as well as the group’s version of “American Pie,” featuring the classic’s creator, Don McLean.

“Based merely on the human condition, our differences are far outweighed by our common ground,” explains Home Free’s bass singer Tim Foust. “We hope this album serves as a reminder of the unity to be found in our shared humanity.”

In celebration of the album announcement, fans are getting a preview with the release of Home Free’s version of The Chicks’ emotional track, “Travelin’ Soldier,” alongside a video. “When Austin [Brown] first suggested we cover this song, it had been years since I heard it—and to be perfectly honest, I had forgotten just how beautiful and tragic it truly is. After listening to it again, I was totally on board,” explains Home Free’s tenor Rob Lundquist. “I know this one hits home for a lot of people—myself included. My dad was in the Army when I was born, and when my parents heard our version of this song for the first time, they both had tears in their eyes. Needless to say, there’s something really special about this song, and I’m so glad we decided to sing it.”
