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.
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.
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.
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.]
Seriously Outstanding. Definitely the rock-iest song you've recorded. Toby killing the rhythm guitar, Rick on bass, Tim and Dar, Johnny - the drumming, WOW! The musicianship quality is amazing ! ' oooh, you don't need us rift ' - spine tingling ! ....( edited)
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.....
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.
Breathtaking. What a remarkable performance. Especially liked Toby's sensitive playing and tone and Johnny's making some challenging drumming seem effortless.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Ouh what good! I am sitting in the far away Germany and listen to your wonderful interpretation of this wonderful song. I am very impressed, you beating it in the heart of the seventies (I hope this was the right American English…🙈) Carry On!
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.
Another great cover of an epic CSN song. This one was probably particularly challenging to collect and cover all of the parts. Well done guys and gals!
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 👌
This is a Fantastic version of this song!! I Loved hearing it when I had the Blessing of hearing them doing it in person many years ago now! I will actually be seeing Graham Nash along with Judy Collins here in Boston on October 3rd!! Your audio and video Production is Fabulous, my thanks so much for doing this and I did Like and Subscribe to your channel! I am so glad I found you ! Thank s again, Neal :)) 🎤🎶🎹🎸👍😉🌈☮️
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.
I always loved this song. I sailed a fair amount and the metaphor resonates. This is another fantastic performance by F&F; musicianship, vocal blends and production. Thank you very much.

You guys are good! The bass sound is amazing.
Rick Meeder on bass.
Really F'n & F'n nice! Great sounds, great mix, great cover all around!

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…………….

@@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...
Thanks!
My all time favorite song!
Phenomenal! Exceptional talent all around.
Awesome 😎
Always liked that song ❤
Stunning rendition of the song. Well done all.
Outstanding!❤
Goose bumps...what a cover of one of the greatest bands and one their best songs...KUDOs!!!!
WOW! just WOW!
Excellent job! on a very difficult song. Not many can pull that one off.
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.
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.]
Just gorgeous sound.
Absolutely great cover!!
Großartig! Vielen Dank!

Magnificent rendition!
Glorious! Tim, what a great lead! There's life in the Fossils yet.
Greatest cover band in the galaxy.
Wow! Fabulous cover!
F & F really raised the bar with Wooden Ships!!!❤
Wow....this takes me back.......I love CSN...
great song, great performance!
First of all it’s a great song. Second it was well replicated. Nice job.
Best song you ever replicated.
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.
These guys are unbelievably incredible
Really great job, guys. Nice guitar work, brothers. Enjoying it.
Great touch on the instruments with awesome tones. Throughly enjoyed the boyhood fave
CSN fan from the beginning this was really nice to hear your song. guitar great singing also great...Greatings from the Netherlands
For a very beautiful 5 minutes and 24 seconds, I was sent back in time.
For a brief and brilliant moment, you were the song. All of you. And that is all I could have asked for..
beautifully put.
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.
Absolutely magnificent!!! Everything about this performance is perfection!! Bravo!!!
what a truly great performance from this group - Ian
Another beauty. Congratulations to Toby for a stellar solo.
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!
It takes a tremendous amount of planning and work to make these videos. Thats why we love the Foxes and Fossils

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!
An extremely good cover of a wonderful CSN song. Thankyou!
Bleeping spectacular.
FROM FRANCE.....I JUST SAY....WONDERLAND OF SONGS....WONDERFUL DREAMS IN OUR HEARTS....
Breathtaking. What a remarkable performance. Especially liked Toby's sensitive playing and tone and Johnny's making some challenging drumming seem effortless.
Outstanding with a side of goose bumps
Wow, this is the first time I have heard your band. You guys are excellent!!
Hit the orange F&F for their list of 100+ excellent songs. They've been doing it since 2010. Still post one about once a month.
Really well done by all. Bravo! 🙏🏻
Wow! That's the best version of Wooden Ships I've heard in 54 years! Well done!
Thanks!
Just blown away... listened to it over and over...wowooow.
Fantastic! My favorite CSN song.
That was AMAZING! Wow. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Quite an intricate undertaking! Lots of parts going on in this one! Excellent job!
Great Job all! You have honored one of my all time favorite songs very well!
OUTSTANDING!!!!!
Absolutely brilliant. An absolute classic, covered absolutely brilliantly.
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.
One of my favorite songs and you all preformed it perfectly. Bravo!👏
WOW! Johnny Pike, showing your jazz chops. Well done and spectacular...as always!!
( we all know it wasn't take 36, lol)

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 !

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

Rim shots !
Perfection!!!!

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.
Sconnie proud.
Just when we think F&F can't outdo themselves, they outdo themselves. EPIC! Wonderful.
Wow, that really brings me back to 1969. Wonderful
Bravo! Such a hard song to emulate! - You rocked it! Super well done and Beautiful! Like you!
Ouh what good! I am sitting in the far away Germany and listen to your wonderful interpretation of this wonderful song. I am very impressed, you beating it in the heart of the seventies (I hope this was the right American English…🙈) Carry On!
I'm blown away.
I like the added color to probably CSN's most beautiful song.
You all sound great!!
Very subtle perfection Toby

great job, guys...and gals
OUTSTANDING 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Wow. Just excellent. I like the fact that the harmony by the girls is into one mic. Some smooth guitar playing boys.
I always loved this song. I sailed a fair amount and the metaphor resonates. This is another fantastic performance by F&F; musicianship, vocal blends and production. Thank you very much.
