I decided I agree with somebody else who said that Telling Me Lies may be the very best Foxes song of all in the F&F library because it gives each one of them a chance to show their lead-singing talent and then combine that with those impossibly perfect harmonies. And in this showcase of musical perfection is this volcanically explosive burst of vocal excellence from Chase. .......man........smh
Seven different combinations of the three ladies: 1-Maggie solo; 2-Maggie with Sammie harmony; 3-the three together; 4-Sammie solo; 5-Sammie with Maggie harmony; 6-Chase solo; 7-Chase with Sammie harmony.
Agreed. Vocally this is beyond the technical perfection. The video crew also deserves a huge kudos, capturing the feeling of the presentation. Just 10/10
The best in the world, I'm from Australia and never heard a cover band like them, they are starting to get a good following over here also, thoroughly deserved too
Your wrong but then you asked ... was Frank Sinatra a cover artist ... or George Strait ? Neither wrote a single song ....there are cover bands that play the bars then there are tribute bands and then there is the level where we are at now .. professional level musicians playing great music
@@brucehart1617 A guy posted on the F&F fan page that us old guys were only interested in the young girls! Wrong! Their music hits a cord with us old guys. But I do have to say, some of those fossils are pretty cute! ;-)
Hearing these three ladies harmonize on an equal footing with their soprano, mezzo-soprano, and contralto tones (had to look that up) contrasting and complementing with such artistry is super rare and so lovely to listen to, and like others have said they pour their emotions into the song too
It struck me how well the Foxes voices complement each other. No one voice stands out, yet you can distinctly hear each person’s voice during the harmonies. A truly magical combination.
OK. Someone smarter than me is going to have to explain why these people are not under contract in Nashville and making tons of music. With what we see passing for "music" in the world today, and yet we have this band, these gifted musicians and harmonies that are nothing short of perfect every dang time they sing, how is it this hasn't happened? Seriously? I've been here a couple years now waiting to see this happen, and confident it would and it hasn't. This song is over the top good, I can't find a single think not to like about it, and just sit hear shaking my head hitting the replay button. Well done to all of you F&F. You are a shining light of joy in a world that is desperate for it.
It's simply not their goal at this point in their lives to do it any different than what they are doing now. Maggie is a manager at a talent promotion firm in Nashville if they wanted to go that route. Neither Maggie or Sammie are interested in doing it for a career ,and Chase is pursuing her solo career independently and would appreciate our support. chasesings.com for her Patron, "Chase" is her youtube channel.
@@lynwessel2471 Thank you Lyn, I was aware of Chases' channel and follow it. I was not aware they had made a conscious choice not to follow that path as a group. The world is missing out, thankfully they share their talent with us here.
Its not very often I get an evening to listen intently to F&F, but when I do I am always amazed. I'm really loving how musicians are covering past material in new and fantastic ways that always brings a tear and a longing for the past when music was mostly analog and flowing.. Blessings to F&F.
...I do HONESTLY BELIEVE, THE FOXES TRIO HAVE DEFINITELY TOPPED THE ORIGINAL TRIO!!!...Awesome job, Girls!!!...They couldn't do it without you Fossils, Neither!!!...Simply BEYOND PERFECTION!!!...💖
Don't get me wrong, I believe these women are way beyond talented, but imo they aren't quite as in sync as D.P. L.R. and E.H. As you listen to the "original" focus on their vibratos, particularly when the harmony kicks in. Their ability to match the timing of each other's vibrato is uncanny. It may seem like a minor thing but it is not easy at all to do. And most people don't even realise it's happening. They just know at a gut level what beauty they are hearing. Again...love these young gals and looking forward to exploring more of their covers.🎤 😀👏
I love what they did here but I do not believe they "topped" D.P., L.R. and E.H. -- and really, it isn't a competition. D.P., E.H. and L.R. were/are among the best of the best, each with a very unique voice so when the three came together, it was magical.
I made a post in the fan page and I was careful not to say that they were better than the Trio. Linda Ronstadt was simply at the top of her game when it was recorded. That in no way takes away from this amazing performance by Foxes and Fossils.
@@danc3693 .... DP, LR, EH among the best of the best? I wouldn't go that far. Ok, LR yes, but the other two, not even close. Damn, have you seen DP lately? She looks like a freak with all that cosmetic surgery.
I'm a New Yorker in Thailand and couldn't agree more. I'm so happy to hear them creating new classics. This gave me goose bumps from that 1st harmonized chorus. Not really familiar with the original, but fell in love with this immediately. Considering the reputation of the legends you're covering I'm sure they would be impressed and honored by how you've gilded the lily. Such remarkable talents! Thanks for sharing your gifts with us!
If they were were the Pride of Georgia I'd think they would have had more than 5 or 6 gigs a year when they played live.(Scott said there really wasn't much interest in them)I don't think Georgia knew what a gem they had among them.Maybe now they do.
I can listen to these gals every day. This is the very best I've ever heard. No disrespect to Linda, Dolly or Emmylou, these ladies just nailed this song.
I just love it when Maggie and Sammie harmonize. They've done it so long together, it's just perfect!! Chase has been a gold medal find!!! Listening to this song for the third time in row to give you an idea!
It doesn't matter what they will sing, I know I will like it. Someday, I would love for them to cover 'Lonesome Loser' by the Little River Band. That opening harmony grabs you, and is a perfect fit for F&F, plus they have all the instruments covered.
Personally I'd love to here 'Cool Change’ but I’m a bit biased. That’s one of my go-to karaoke songs... Plus, I’d love to see who covered the great sax parts in that tune...
@@andrewlambert7464 One of my all-time favorite chill songs! I thought about that one too, but figured Lonesome Loser might fit a little better, but hey, I wouldn't shun either option.
Any “LRB” song will be awesome by these people, for they harmonize like no other! Especially the tall good looking blonde! Just love her as a back up harmonized OR the lead, does not matter with her. And she’s not hard to look at as well. All around winner.
I just gotta believe these three young women LOVE singing together .... no ego, no competition, just soothing pursuit of perfection of shared harmony. And it sure doesn't hurt that they are backed by the highest quality of musicians imaginable. I'm just happy that if we're lucky, they will just bless us with their efforts for years to come. Very likely I'll pass before they do and that's a VERY good thing.
I just keep coming back to this one. The original was from the Trio, but these 3 women are THE TRIO!!! This song could not be done better. In a sane world, these 3 would be making 7 figures playing in packed venues all over the country and beyond!
And of all your songs that I listen to just about every night...THIS is the first one I picked tonight because..well...there are NO words to describe the sound and the talents.
Ok , Just joined and was immediately treated to an iteration of a song to be released. I am not going to spoil the release, but I will say this is a song that I love and am glad they chose it. I will also say that Darwin is not only an amazing guitar player, but he can sing!
I've watched this a bazillion times...this Has to be Maggie, Sammie and Chase's best vocals yet, both individually and with each other. Stunningly beautiful work.
I didn’t know this song, or that angels would sing it. This tune and everyone’s performance brought tears to this rocker’s eyes...as is typically the case. Thank you and stay safe.
I posted this on another of their videos but it's worth repeating: Tim Purcell is the luckiest SOB on the planet! How in the hell can one man assemble this much AMAZING talent into one band. I'm a musician and I've started a few club bands over the years, (Chicagoland area), and while I've worked with some good musicians and singers, none came even close to this. F&F is world class all the way!
@@glennadamson268 I so agree. I'm a musician and it's hard to see and hear this kind of talent anywhere. He's a BLESSED man and I'm quite sure he knows it. Keep pursuing Tim P.
It's not luck. It's earned. Talent attracts talent. Every player wants to play in the band or with the people who make them sound their best. Tim's special talent is that he's not just a talented musician in his own right, he's also really good at getting the best out of those around him.
It is interesting to compare this performance to The Trio’s recording of this song. Theirs is fantastic, featuring Linda singing lead throughout with Dolly and Emmylou doing their incredible harmonies. But then Foxes and Fossils blow it out of the water when Maggie, Sammie, and Chase each take portions of the lead. Handing off the lead as they do is masterful use of the strengths of their individual vocal qualities. I would never have believed anyone could top The Trio, but these three young ladies sure did!
A cover band that knows and understands the material they sing. This band is for REAL. Their harmonies are pure. Musicianship is top notch. When this virus leaves please come to Chicago.
so maggie sings and I say, "ok, she has the best voice", then Sammy chimes in and I say "No, Sammy does", and then of course the same thing when Chase pipes in. But Sammy harmonizing is just tear making
Same here. Each one of them amaze me every time I hear them. I keep saying this is the best I’ve ever heard...and then I hear them again on the next song and I say the same thing over again.
All three women (no longer girls) have voices that have matured since their teenage years. Rich and mellow, and incredible control. This was a great showcase of their voices.
@@larrysmith2638 Yes and they sing like women. Agreed. Also Sammie's voice matured and sounds the way we imagined that it would listening to her years ago. Maggie's voice is money and Chase can pretty much do what she wants vocally. 🎤
I've left so many glowing comments on many of F&F videos. But I must say, after listening to this song for the umteenth time, it STILL brings tears of joy and beauty. I just love this group... bless you all.
I like all types of music, but I'm a country boy at heart. Listen to this group singing with the way their voices compliment each other is amazing, but my problem is that they bring tears to my eyes and heart, not in a bad way, y'all are so uplifting with voices that touch my heart and others too, God Bless you all
Wow! This was an amazing cover. The music (guitar, bass, keyboard, percussion) were perfection. Having Maggie start out the song and draw us in with her enchanting, heartfelt tone was spellbinding. Having Sammie carry the second verse with power and finesse at the same time was mesmerzing. Having Chase carry the third verse with her sultry, soulful tone was captivating. And the harmonies on the chorus were seamless, and Chase belting out "telling me lies" was an amazing, emphatic statement. Well done, Foxes and Fossils. This has to be one of your best destined to break records!
Yeah. Maggie draws you in with her soft silky voice, Sammie slays you with her piercing high harmony, and Chase puts you away with her powerful contralto. We're "helpless, helpless, helpless" when these ladies start to sing.
The instrumentation is understated, 3 highly capable vocalists share the duties so unselfishly....all in a perfect mixdown. Profoundly dramatic, that I can tell you !
please do not ever let a big studio and label take you over. They will ruin what you have found. The secret to success is in the incredible cooperative way your whole group performs. No near naked gyrations, handstands and stomping around like baboons. Beautiful, simplicity of performance that just blows all others away. WOW! Its like hearing the heartbeat of an unborn baby. A miracle that touches every fiber of our being. Well done!
I'm late to the party; I had to go back and listen to the original. Unable to improve on what all the other adoring commenters have listed below, but I think this version of three ladies is better than the original! More depth and clarity and goosebumps! And the Fossils were beautiful too!
That was OUTSTANDING! The girls just nailed their performances on that song, individually and singing harmonies with each other...WOW! Just when we think F&F can't surprise us by performing a song any better as a group...you do it.
Oh my god...those voices...Maggie like silken velvet and quite, quite unique.....Sammie like cut glass, when she starts her lead section I get goose bumps and also with her superb high harmonies...Chase such power and range. Perfectly showcased in another superb arrangement by Tim and as always the excellent musicianship of the fossils
There are not enough superlatives in the world to describe the passion, musicianship, and quality F&F bring to everything they do. What an amazing rendition. Thank you so much!
The more I listen and watch this video , the more impressed I am by the arrangement, the range of vocals, and the timing and smoothness of the musicians ..amazing
Are you kidding? That raised goosebumps that won’t go away. Their individual voices are each so pure and perfect but when they harmonize it’s amazing the blend they get. F&F RULES
I never did add up what the December 2022 Hapeville concert trip cost me, but for a likely once in a lifetime chance to see them perform, I wasn't counting. I started saving up my shekels as soon as I knew the show was going to happen. Between travel, lodging, meals, and $100/ticket for two nights, it must have been into four digits.
Totally beautiful in every way. Girls, your blend is an absolute gem of a thing. You sing together with that huge quality, and you do it in a way that shows you care. The background band is very tastefully supporting the singing and is beautifully done. I don't know what your fan numbers here on the west coast are, but I'll bet you could sell out many venues. I really can't get enough of hearing and seeing what you are doing. Thanks much.
I like that this arrangement took a different path with the lead vocals whereas the original was just one of the ladies doing the lead... Linda I believe. Incidentally the backing musicians on the original were basically the who's who of 70s/80s session aces and it was no easy task covering their parts. Well done all around.
What is astonishing about the vocals is the level of felt emotion coming from the girls.. especially Maggie. It’s like they’re living it ..
I decided I agree with somebody else who said that Telling Me Lies may be the very best Foxes song of all in the F&F library because it gives each one of them a chance to show their lead-singing talent and then combine that with those impossibly perfect harmonies.
And in this showcase of musical perfection is this volcanically explosive burst of vocal excellence from Chase.
.......man........smh
"impossibly perfect harmonies".....excellently said!
very well said.I, too, can't get enough of this version. The harmonies are so tight and so beautiful to hear
Seven different combinations of the three ladies: 1-Maggie solo; 2-Maggie with Sammie harmony; 3-the three together; 4-Sammie solo; 5-Sammie with Maggie harmony; 6-Chase solo; 7-Chase with Sammie harmony.

Best cover band in America. Tell me I'm wrong.
You are so so right, they are the best ever
Buzz67 nay, you are not wrong, they are best. I enjoy everything they do. Everything in their catalog is just done to perfection.
Buzz67 they are up there for sure. Band geeks are great too, though different genre of covers (mostly prog rock)
The best in the world, I'm from Australia and never heard a cover band like them, they are starting to get a good following over here also, thoroughly deserved too

3.33 brings me almost to tears with its beauty
You three girls are vocally spectacular. You are seriously an alignment of the universe. Please keep doing what you are doing and let us tag along.
Chase gives me chills when she does her solo bit...
Indeed!
Every time.

These ladies had big shoes to fill and they absolutely nailed it! Anyone who can listen to this and not be moved has no soul!

Exactly.
Amen!
Yep, well said.
A lot of joy!
You have brought a comforting end to a crappy day. THANK YOU!
I really believe this song is one of F&F's best. The ladies' voices blend so well.
Yes, I totally agree.
Absolutely 💯
Each Fox Blends in so well! Harm! Chase she goes all out Fab!
Almost all their songs are one of the best.
Can't argue with that statement!

It struck me how well the Foxes voices complement each other. No one voice stands out, yet you can distinctly hear each person’s voice during the harmonies. A truly magical combination.
And just consider - it’s not like they practice with each other. They don’t. That adds to the magic that happens.
this is a result of Tim's vision, arranging, engineering and production skills
The 3-part harmony with the girls truly is a taste of heaven. PERFECTION!!!!!!
OK.

Voices from Heaven. Nothing else needs to be said except that if Linda, Emmylou and Dolly hear this I’m sure they’d be extremely impressed.
The harmonies are beautiful!!! That why I love the Trio albums so much. These women are really good!❤

Hey, if no one else has said anything, “ CONGRATULATIONS ON A HUNDRED THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS!!!” 🎂🥂🏆🎉🎊
How is it that they only have 107k?
It should be 10m.
WOWzers! AWESOME JOB F & F . . . . . . . CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!
JEEEEY, WHOOOPY, Lets tell everyone how to find them and make it a million SOON!!
so maggie sings and I say, "ok, she has the best voice", then Sammy chimes in and I say "No, Sammy does", and then of course the same thing when Chase pipes in. But Sammy harmonizing is just tear making
Same here. Each one of them amaze me every time I hear them. I keep saying this is the best I’ve ever heard...and then I hear them again on the next song and I say the same thing over again.
Agree. She's the vocal glue and would be sorely missed in the mix for me personally.
All three women (no longer girls) have voices that have matured since their teenage years. Rich and mellow, and incredible control. This was a great showcase of their voices.
@@larrysmith2638 Yes and they sing like women. Agreed. Also Sammie's voice matured and sounds the way we imagined that it would listening to her years ago. Maggie's voice is money and Chase can pretty much do what she wants vocally. 🎤
Nothing against the instrumental portion, but the vocals are just spectacular.
Today listen to this beautiful song more than 30 times so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I've left so many glowing comments on many of F&F videos. But I must say, after listening to this song for the umteenth time, it STILL brings tears of joy and beauty. I just love this group... bless you all.
I like all types of music, but I'm a country boy at heart. Listen to this group singing with the way their voices compliment each other is amazing, but my problem is that they bring tears to my eyes and heart, not in a bad way, y'all are so uplifting with voices that touch my heart and others too, God Bless you all
The foxes at their finest! Flawless and so much of a joy to listen to.
Listen to this beautiful blend of great voices and musical talent.
Wow! This was an amazing cover. The music (guitar, bass, keyboard, percussion) were perfection. Having Maggie start out the song and draw us in with her enchanting, heartfelt tone was spellbinding. Having Sammie carry the second verse with power and finesse at the same time was mesmerzing. Having Chase carry the third verse with her sultry, soulful tone was captivating. And the harmonies on the chorus were seamless, and Chase belting out "telling me lies" was an amazing, emphatic statement. Well done, Foxes and Fossils. This has to be one of your best destined to break records!
Yeah. Maggie draws you in with her soft silky voice, Sammie slays you with her piercing high harmony, and Chase puts you away with her powerful contralto. We're "helpless, helpless, helpless" when these ladies start to sing.
A masterpiece played by talented people.
The instrumentation is understated, 3 highly capable vocalists share the duties so unselfishly....all in a perfect mixdown. Profoundly dramatic, that I can tell you !
Yup, tears every time, every single freaking time.
please do not ever let a big studio and label take you over. They will ruin what you have found. The secret to success is in the incredible cooperative way your whole group performs. No near naked gyrations, handstands and stomping around like baboons. Beautiful, simplicity of performance that just blows all others away. WOW! Its like hearing the heartbeat of an unborn baby. A miracle that touches every fiber of our being. Well done!
They'll be right here.
Please do make the exception that pajamas and stuffed animals are always acceptable for all!
I'm late to the party; I had to go back and listen to the original. Unable to improve on what all the other adoring commenters have listed below, but I think this version of three ladies is better than the original! More depth and clarity and goosebumps! And the Fossils were beautiful too!
That was OUTSTANDING! The girls just nailed their performances on that song, individually and singing harmonies with each other...WOW! Just when we think F&F can't surprise us by performing a song any better as a group...you do it.
OK, I think I have played this song about 50 times now and every time I hear it, it gets better and better. Looking forward to my next 50.
Some of the best harmonies I’ve ever heard. Timing, pitch. Pure magic.
Every time i listen to this song I continue to be in awe of this recording. The musicianship, the voices, the magical harmonies ... WOW!
Oh my god...those voices...Maggie like silken velvet and quite, quite unique.....Sammie like cut glass, when she starts her lead section I get goose bumps and also with her superb high harmonies...Chase such power and range. Perfectly showcased in another superb arrangement by Tim and as always the excellent musicianship of the fossils
Practically too amazing to be real! What an experience listening to these girls.
Truly beautiful singing....thank you all!
I love this. I have played it many times, never reaching the end without dropping a few tears. Beautiful.
Always one of my faves from Dolly, Linda, and Emmylou. The 3 women do such an excellent job with solos and harmonies!
This is one of the best of f & f . Sammie , Maggie and Chase , you’re great !
There are not enough superlatives in the world to describe the passion, musicianship, and quality F&F bring to everything they do. What an amazing rendition. Thank you so much!
Chappy Wolf just perfection!
Even if you called Marty Stuart and borrowed his Fabulous Superlatives...
still not enough.
Over one million.....great. I listen to their songs at least two or three times a week. Why NOT?
The more I listen and watch this video , the more impressed I am by the arrangement, the range of vocals, and the timing and smoothness of the musicians ..amazing
The more they sing together the better they sound. Completely off the charts.
Maggie and Sammie harmonizing is one of the more beautiful sounds a human can hear 😍😍😍
And they have been doing it since they teenagers.
Yes, but Sammie and Chase was fabulous too!
Belt it out Chase! Great job to all!!
Absolutely. Love that blend.
And to look at !
Every song they sing seems better than the original. Best listening music ever!
Who Thinks the Girls just Put Out Their Best One Yet !! Stunning Masterpiece! And the Grammy Goes To: Foxes and Fossils!
Amen!
Again.
Simply beautifully done.
No words.
Are you kidding? That raised goosebumps that won’t go away.
Their individual voices are each so pure and perfect but when they
harmonize it’s amazing the blend they get. F&F RULES
This one is a masterpiece isn't it?
Would love to hear some more Trio by the girls!Especially memories of you please.
The three ladies sound wonderful together. ❤
I'm almost 60 years old, I have never heard this song before
The vocals in this video are beyond amazing. They are perfect ! Thank you to all of you.
Not to steal any F&F thunder at all, but if you can find a copy of the "Trio" album I'm pretty sure you'll be blown away. :-)
Type: "The Trio full album" here on RUclips.
Angels with voices straight from Heaven. I would pay top dollar to see them live.
I never did add up what the December 2022 Hapeville concert trip cost me, but for a likely once in a lifetime chance to see them perform, I wasn't counting. I started saving up my shekels as soon as I knew the show was going to happen. Between travel, lodging, meals, and $100/ticket for two nights, it must have been into four digits.
This band cuts to the heart of song writers best efforts. The girl's vocals are blessings on the ears and soul.
The writer of this song has joined the F&F fan page. That says volumns about how good this is.
I'm speechless, lost for words -- unbelievably beautiful!!!
These girls send chills down my spine.
Totally beautiful in every way. Girls, your blend is an absolute gem of a thing. You sing together with that huge quality, and you do it in a way that shows you care. The background band is very tastefully supporting the singing and is beautifully done. I don't know what your fan numbers here on the west coast are, but I'll bet you could sell out many venues. I really can't get enough of hearing and seeing what you are doing. Thanks much.
I like that this arrangement took a different path with the lead vocals whereas the original was just one of the ladies doing the lead... Linda I believe. Incidentally the backing musicians on the original were basically the who's who of 70s/80s session aces and it was no easy task covering their parts. Well done all around.
There are NO WORDS to fully describe the feeling I get when I heard this song and VERSION! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
The 3 Part Harmony during the Chorus was Stunning ladies~
"Ear Candy" makes my eyes water too , so sweet harmony
