You're looking at four absolute virtuosos. Fred Farrell is a barbershop legend. Jim Henry is the best barbershop bass ever. It can't be done much better than this.
Ok, so these guys are just getting better and better. Wow! Saw them in Nashville and thought they were great, but now, just wow! A few observations, Jim is just a beast, so resonant! Mike just floats beautifully. Starting at about 2:53, Brandon just nails the 5ths with Jim! And, boy can Fred belt some high thirds. And, together, they are just a well oiled machine! This makes my day!
I stumbled upon these guys as they stopped to sing a song on Main Street at Walt Disney World. I got some footage on my channel...I love how they sing this song.
A bass doesn't have to be able to sing extremely low to be a good bass. Jim has amazing tone and projection, and he is an incredible singer!

Jim Henry would probably be tied with Jeff Oxley, of course. :-)

I'd be a liar to disagree with you, comicsuss. Mike Slamka is an absolutely incredible lead; he's a great coach, too.

I disagree, Fred is good, but the bass isn't the
best one. He's not the lowest either. All i'm sayin'
is that this bass is not the best one.

Yeah and you don't even need to mention Slamka or Guyton
