You are really showing your age, Boomer! I’ve never heard of this song! I prefer more newer and popular songs. They are incredibly talented musicians, though and I love them.
Standing watch on the signal bridge of a US Destroyer on a Med cruise during wartime. We had 2 cassettes and this was one of them. Stopped counting how many times we had to rewind that cassette with a pencil. Sailing the Mediterranean at night with that song in the background will leave an impression on you. This was awesome guys. Thanks
ok, I have admired you guys for years. But you have outdone yourselves. It captured the elan of CSNY. The guitar work was superb. Great tone. Wonderful vocals and harmonies fading in and out. You guys are the kings and queens of covers. I’d love to take a master class from you on recording techniques. I stand in awe.
Might be the best yet, in a series of incredible performances,....and that is saying something. Every time I listen to you guys I want to say thank you for letting us hear you play and sing.
Superb song and magnificent cover. I shed a tear for times long gone when the girls' harmonies came in. I was moved and just for a few seconds, a young man again.
Well.....I just listened to this song twice, back to back....I had the pleasure of knowing David Crosby personally....He loved when other artists covered their songs...always lent an enthusiastic ear to 'covers' of their songs...I would expect that he is looking down and giving full approval to this version. You can hear Paul Kantner's contributions as well as Stephen Stills'. Your interpretation of the song has the proper homage to the original as well as very tasteful amount of artistic license...I am so impressed. Thank you!! I'd love to sit in.....
Breathtaking. What a remarkable performance. Especially liked Toby's sensitive playing and tone and Johnny's making some challenging drumming seem effortless.
Sometimes I groan a little at song choices. Well, not this time! Not only one of the best song selections, but one of the most stellar performances as well. Stunning.
@@leonardblush2557that's what I think of yellow brick road. f&f did a great cover, just don't like the song whoever does it. however it still gets a like because it was well done.
New to the F&F train, nothing but superlatives to proclaim here, you guys are amazing. It's not like you cover "easy" songs, these are songs that are musically challenging and difficult harmonically. I've been listening to "Love Is The Answer" almost daily now for a couple of months, and it really helps me get through the day. Thank you.
WOW just discovered Foxes and Fossils today, this is just amazing. Thank you so much fellas !! Anyone who ever saw CSN&Y live would appreciate this big time ! Best cover of Wooden Ships I have ever heard - by far. Lexington Lab Band co-op is also pretty phenomenal at covering a VERY wide range of songs, but mostly 80's and 90's popular tunes.
It's nice to hear this excellent rendition of a David Crosby song. He may have been a problematic person, but he wrote some fine songs and created new music even until his death. The band, as usual, turns in a flawless performance.
I keep coming back to watch this video ever since you Fs & Fs released it. I LOVE this performance. It hits me hard just like your performance of Suite Judy Blue Eyes 14 years ago that made me a huge fan of yours. World Class!
Lordy F&F...you have Blown me Away from the First time I heard you guys Sing...I can honestly say I had Never seen such an Amazing Musician's and Singers like you guys and the effort and enjoyment you all show 👏..And that We Are lucky enough to have you share All that talent with Us❤️✌️
I discovered your band totally by accident. I am absolutely blown away! I've been a guitarist for over 50 years, and appreciate great sound. I watched one clip, then all of them, and was hooked. Not only are the musical tracks tight, the male and especially the female vocals are outstanding. Live the dream, never stop.
What’s fantastic about Foxes and Fossils is how they capture the sound of the 60’s,70’s & early 80’s when music was produced with real live musicians and vocals. Nothing can compare to this sound, because it’s a real full sound. The blend of exquisite vocals and exceptional instrumental play…adds up to perfection. Well done F&F!
Absolutely stunning from the fossils here, on a very difficult song, with superb musicianship, arrangement and production - and the foxes added a lot with their harmonies. Keep them coming.
These people turned a masterpiece into another masterpiece. What to say, except that I wish the best for you all. Thani you very much for your time and efforts for bringing this masterpiece to another level.
You guys give me shivers, taking on every song I use to listen to as a teenager!!! This one, along with Carry On still sound amazing to this day!!! Thank You!!!!!!
Love this song and have noticed that CSN have varied it somewhat over the years, each version a little different which simply adds to the greatest of the music. Foxes and Fossils took a little path as well and delivered as good a cover as I have heard. They keep on keeping done. Well done and thank you.
Such a timely song choice much like "Love Is The Answer" was 4 years ago. Loved every note. You all take me far away, where I can laugh and breathe again. Thank you!
At 77 years old I have many groups that I love however for the past several years since i started following F&F you have become my all-time favorites. Fantastic as usual!
I do not fully know why this one made me so emotional. Reminded me of my time in the Navy when this song came out. ANOTHER OUTSTANDING performance by Foxes and Fossils. Thank you
Superb! Masterful professional musicianship by the Fossils! Transports me back to my college days of non-violent protest. [I, too, am a fossil, age 73.]
Letter perfect mix and performance. Love how the two Fossils did the Crosby and Stills lead vocals and the Foxes effectively did the CSN backups. Chilling and effective 👌
I've returned here to wait for F&F's latest release on 8/21/2024. While waiting, I've listened to Wooden Ships yet another 2 times and I seriously do not know whether they'll ever be able to top this performance. I've had my favorite covers of theirs in the past, but this one shot them all to pieces.
Wow! This was just great. The quality of the voices, guitars and percussions with a fantastic blend with the mix. I always had CSNY and Jefferson Airplane fan with both of their recording of this song. I just loved it. Keep up the great work. Thanks
Living and sailing on a wooden schooner for the last 20 years, of the same designer as Crosby's schooner Mayan, this song holds a special place for me. Thanks F&F for a superb rendition.
1969, stationed at Camp McCoy. We'd sneak into the photo lab, where we had a stereo set up, and listen to this album, Jefferson Airplane, The Rolling Stones, Sly, Jimi, and King Crimson. This song caught the zeitgeist. Concerned, confused, stoned, idealistic, and still hopeful even though the Vietnam War, the '68 convention, Kent State, and more made it feel like the world gone mad. Six decades later, I hear this recreated lovingly and gloriously. And just like 60 years ago, we are all in deep water... and I'm still hopeful today. Hearing this puts me in a good space. Your taste, talent, and perfection are exquisite, and we are blessed by them.
Phenomenal performance by everyone!!!! Also really love the guitar work by Toby and Darwin!!! First time I saw CSN was in 1978, and several times through the years. Most recently saw David Crosby perform this live in 2018. An amazing show!!! Again, great performance by everyone in F & F!!!!
F&F covers of the CSNY songs are perfection!!!! Those are not easy songs to cover due to the musical and vocal arrangements but you folks have nailed this!!!!
My GOODNESS! You guys and girls ACED this extremely difficult song. Well done on your superb performance! It took me years to like this song and I listen to it very rarely - but you've made sure I'll not neglect it again. And you know - I can't say I'm surprised by your excellent standard, as usual. Beautiful production too.
OMG……!! this was so well done my eyes swelled with tears… and when the foxes’ singing kicked in I simply gasped….. this production was simply superb….!! what a great team…..!!
Seriously, what a perfect rendition of this song. Keep making music, amazing voices, harmony, musicians! Thanks for this bright spot in our world…
Couldn’t have said it any better…………….
You are really showing your age, Boomer! I’ve never heard of this song! I prefer more newer and popular songs. They are incredibly talented musicians, though and I love them.
@@mymaryland9547, and you're showing your lack of respect, child.
@@mjtala Is that the best that you got, dude? 🤣😂🤣😂
Yeah, and they might also want to work up the Airplane version since they definitely have the voices...

Stopped counting how many times we had to rewind that cassette with a pencil. Sailing the Mediterranean at night with that song in the background will leave an impression on you.

One Navy vet (MMN2, SSBN 659) to another, thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service. Salute……..2
I feel ya brother. DDG-6 for me
Thanks for your service Sailor ❤🇺🇲
Thank you, all of you. ❤
F & F really raised the bar with Wooden Ships!!!❤
Goose bumps...what a cover of one of the greatest bands and one their best songs...KUDOs!!!!

It takes a tremendous amount of planning and work to make these videos. Thats why we love the Foxes and Fossils
Might be the best yet, in a series of incredible performances,....and that is saying something. Every time I listen to you guys I want to say thank you for letting us hear you play and sing.
Stunning. Vocals are insanely good!
Absolutely magnificent!!! Everything about this performance is perfection!! Bravo!!!
These guys are unbelievably incredible
For a very beautiful 5 minutes and 24 seconds, I was sent back in time.
Superb song and magnificent cover. I shed a tear for times long gone when the girls' harmonies came in. I was moved and just for a few seconds, a young man again.
For a brief and brilliant moment, you were the song. All of you. And that is all I could have asked for..
beautifully put.
Well.....I just listened to this song twice, back to back....I had the pleasure of knowing David Crosby personally....He loved when other artists covered their songs...always lent an enthusiastic ear to 'covers' of their songs...I would expect that he is looking down and giving full approval to this version.

Wow! That's the best version of Wooden Ships I've heard in 54 years! Well done!
I’ve run out of superlatives for F&F. Superb on every level. You have played a classic with excellent musicianship and great heart. Congratulations!
Holy crap. These guys are just ridiculously good and just keep getting better.
Wow, that really brings me back to 1969. Wonderful
Sometimes I groan a little at song choices. Well, not this time! Not only one of the best song selections, but one of the most stellar performances as well. Stunning.
You groan f&f ? Ok
@@DL-ry3qg If I don't like a song, it matters not who performs it. I just pass and wait for the next one.
@@leonardblush2557that's what I think of yellow brick road. f&f did a great cover, just don't like the song whoever does it. however it still gets a like because it was well done.
@@davidvogel6359 Yep, I always give them a like even if I don't listen.
I wish i could give the ones like this one multiples.
Thanks for continuing to amaze us with your voices!
Another beauty. Congratulations to Toby for a stellar solo.
With every song F&F does I think they can’t get it better, they they do.
Every! Time!
Thank you F&F for breathing life into the music I love!
Pure magic, thanks for your dedication to your craft so that we mere mortals can enjoy it all through our lives!

Absolutely brilliant. An absolute classic, covered absolutely brilliantly.
Just blown away... listened to it over and over...wowooow.
Great Job all! You have honored one of my all time favorite songs very well!
Phenomenal! Exceptional talent all around.
Great touch on the instruments with awesome tones. Throughly enjoyed the boyhood fave

Well over 100 excellent covers of a wide range of music from the past 70 years here.
@@lynwessel2471 Cool and thanks for the info. Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do ! 🤣 They are great !
Greatest cover band in the galaxy.
Just when we think F&F can't outdo themselves, they outdo themselves. EPIC! Wonderful.
It's nice to hear this excellent rendition of a David Crosby song. He may have been a problematic person, but he wrote some fine songs and created new music even until his death. The band, as usual, turns in a flawless performance.
Wow. You folks tackle some really complex pieces and do it well. CSNY is music I grew up listening to. This makes it fresh again.

Yes they are next level..🦁check out Leonid and Friends who cover Chicago tunes, all Russian and amazing 😍
Just gorgeous sound.
Incredible, just plain incredible! Thank you F&F!!!
Thanks!
My all time favorite song!
Dang, folks, it's great when you open your pipes. You sure do it right. Thanks for posting.
One of the best versions ever! Kind regards from Europe (The Netherlands).
You absolutely warmed my heart here, played with sincerity and respected the songs honesty.
Quite an intricate undertaking! Lots of parts going on in this one! Excellent job!
I have to say that was incredible. I grew up on CSN and this took me back.
what a truly great performance from this group - Ian
I discovered your band totally by accident. I am absolutely blown away! I've been a guitarist for over 50 years, and appreciate great sound. I watched one clip, then all of them, and was hooked. Not only are the musical tracks tight, the male and especially the female vocals are outstanding. Live the dream, never stop.
Soulful and breathes new life into the original...so very well done.
Great inspirational post..Y'all sounds great ..Looks like fun too
Awesome as always, your number One fan in Guatemala,; beautiful and great sound, the voices.....mmmmmmm exquisite

Nothing can compare to this sound, because it’s a real full sound. The blend of exquisite vocals and exceptional instrumental play…adds up to perfection. Well done F&F!
I will second this. ALSO, in our current politically FRAUGHT country, the idea of leaving the mess sounds like a good idea!
Spot all you say, but dont forget they are playing some up to date music all be it in possibly a 60's 70's style
Absolutely stunning from the fossils here, on a very difficult song, with superb musicianship, arrangement and production - and the foxes added a lot with their harmonies. Keep them coming.
Stellar! Stellar musicianship, stellar vovals, stellar arranging, production, and editing.... Just stellar!
Really great job, guys. Nice guitar work, brothers. Enjoying it.
Fantastic. Brings back great memories of hearing CS&N perform this live back in the 80s.
And in 1969....
Johnny Pike's drumming really shines on this one. 🥁
Love Johnny pikes drum work. 👍🏻👍🏻
It's great but its the guitar work really creates the atmosphere; Tim's voice is second to none.
Yes I have to agree, the drumming is just right, I would love to see F&F live but sadly living in the UK dont think its going to happen any day soon
F & F is a great band! The have been following them for years. They never let you down.
Johnny and Rick do an awesome job keeping things on track. I miss Scott, but Rick is really good.
These people turned a masterpiece into another masterpiece. What to say, except that I wish the best for you all. Thani you very much for your time and efforts for bringing this masterpiece to another level.
So well done. Brings back so many memories..............

Wow. Just excellent. I like the fact that the harmony by the girls is into one mic. Some smooth guitar playing boys.
I like the added color to probably CSN's most beautiful song.
CSN fan from the beginning this was really nice to hear your song. guitar great singing also great...Greatings from the Netherlands
At 77 years old I have many groups that I love however for the past several years since i started following F&F you have become my all-time favorites. Fantastic as usual!
If you like the band, Chicago, check out Leonid & Friends, all Russians that perfectly cover them. You'll be amazed.
@@mbt1955yes they are fantastic 🤩
An extremely good cover of a wonderful CSN song. Thankyou!
Simply breathtaking... so faithful to the original and yet all your own. I love the emotions you've evoked in me on this one.
I do not fully know why this one made me so emotional. Reminded me of my time in the Navy when this song came out. ANOTHER OUTSTANDING performance by Foxes and Fossils. Thank you
Superb! Masterful professional musicianship by the Fossils! Transports me back to my college days of non-violent protest. [I, too, am a fossil, age 73.]
What can I say F and F, you knocked it out of the bag (again). The singing was so awesome, and the instruments were magnificent. wow, wow,and wow.
WOW! Johnny Pike, showing your jazz chops. Well done and spectacular...as always!!
( we all know it wasn't take 36, lol)
Wow, just wow!!! I have always loved this song, you’ve made it better😍
Just listened to this about 10 times in a row. Absolutely awesome. Haven't heard the original version in years.
Really F'n & F'n nice! Great sounds, great mix, great cover all around!
This is up there with the best covers ever and certainly your best ever! Such a complex song and you absolutely nailed it!
Fantastic. Many, many thanks. Graham Nash must be in awe.

Glen Hulse there at the time or a guy Named Strubrud? BTW, FF does wonderfully and I couldn't agree more with your Sentiment.
Nicely said.

CS&N is my all time favorite band. You did that song perfectly! Beautiful!
Outstanding with a side of goose bumps

It tickles me to see a lot of gray hairs like me who grew up with this music play it so damn well. Excellent job guys and ladies.
F&F covers of the CSNY songs are perfection!!!! Those are not easy songs to cover due to the musical and vocal arrangements but you folks have nailed this!!!!
Always liked that song ❤

What a GREAT cover. This is a difficult song to get right. Wow! just wow.
Bleeping spectacular.
Bravo! Such a hard song to emulate! - You rocked it! Super well done and Beautiful! Like you!
Fantastic! My favorite CSN song.
Thank you! Brought a tear to my eye.
One of my all time desert island discs...so well done.
