@@raygun1958 they are both great but both two different types of music. I'm a trumpet player so I like Leonid and Friends but I love Foxes and Fossils for their perfect harmonies. I love harmonies. I have to rate Foxes and Fossils #1.
Seven combinations of the ladies' voices: Maggie solo, Maggie with Sammie on high harmony, the three together, Sammie solo, Sammie with Maggie on high harmony, Chase solo, Chase with Sammie on high harmony.
The thing is, this is basically a hobby. (It's starting to pay pretty well) The band members live in 5 different states nowadays,so it's individual preparation and no rehearsal in the usual sense.They just record their tracks when they can, some of them at their own homes and Tim pulls it all together and we get a masterpieces like this.These people know they have something special and they find a way to keep doing it.
Their harmonies make me cry Lyn. It's embarrassing around my family LOL! When I was in HS, (a hundred years ago) I knew some talented people but maybe it's because I know just enough to know how truly difficult it is to create sound like that. Living for next Wed.!
F&F... You are the best cover band in the world. You outdo yourselves with each new release. It is a great pleasure to hear you ... always. Thank you F&F for giving us your art, your music. Son la mejor banda de "covers" del mundo. Se superan a sí mismos con cada nueva versión. Es un placer enorme escucharlos... siempre. Gracias F&F por entregarnos vuestro arte, vuestra música.
I always seem come back to "Our lips are Sealed" and "Crazy and Gnarly" as my go to (in concert) versions, at the end of an evening of listening to You Tube Reactions . Their studio songs are all g great !!!
I'd also like to point out that these young women recorded their tracks separately having never sung it together in person to the best of my knowledge.They're rarely ever all in the same place at once.
Our Lips are Sealed,Only Exception(2011), I Can't Let Go, Landslide,Helplessly Hoping, Doctor My Eyes, We Gotta Get You A Woman, When You Say Nothing at All, Letters to Cleo, Can't Hurry Love, Amie, Fairytale,Nobody Love, Harvest Moon, Good Kisser, Love is the Answer .Each is my favorite when I'm listening to it. The Mustangs (on F&Fs list) 1)Roll With it Baby (2014) 2)Walkin' in Memphis.
@@jemntertainment One fan commented on their channel: "If its not too much trouble,please just redo every song ever written, that would be great" (including the 15 mustangs covers there's about 71 cover songs on F&F channel.)
Thanks for covering this video, John. I listened to the original several times (by Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, and Emmylou Harris). It is really great, and I regard them as really top artists. I will incur the wrath of some, but I think Ronstadt is at the top of the peak in artistry, and their performance is unbeatable. But the girls come as close as humanly possible to matching the original. What a great accomplishment. And I do wonder if they inevitably give up something by not being in the same studio. If you are looking for other videos, three of my favorites are Harvest Moon, Can't Let Go, and We Gotta Find You a Woman (Tim is a super vocalist and - understandably - gets overlooked.)
At least they got the ladies vocals recorded in- studio. Scott and Toby probably doesn't matter, its just sending digital information whether its across the room or miles away. The guitars were always direct into the board and recorded even when they played live.But the joy of performing it together in person is missing of course.
Yeah, it isn't better than the original, but the fact that some think so is quite a compliment. This band is amazing, and like you said - as close as you can get to three of the best voices of their era, ain't darn bad.
Next video needs to be their cover of This is Dedicated to the One I Love by the Mamas and Papas. NO ONE covers Cass Elliot. Except Chase Turan of the F&F. FANTASTIC cover, maybe their best.
We are fortunate to be living in these days. We get to enjoy the Foxes and Fossils all the way back to SJBE. Growing up, I listened to my first favorite song "Satisfaction" on a feeble AM radio with one scratchy speaker. Then monaural albums on vinyl, then stereo. Then tapes, 8-tracks, CDs and then streaming. People working miracles on the sound boards, killer headphones, high bandwidth data transmission, Bluetooth. Man, we are hearing better music than I heard in 1963. Oh yeah, and throw in some incredibly talented and dedicated musicians! Thank you guys, seriously.
Yes, you are so right my friend. But Let's not forget the miracles that were created and recorded on Reel to reel. Like you also pointed out we went from Mono to Stereo, then we leaped into THX 5.1 and 7.1 Surround sound Wow!
I've heard both trio's do it and love both. I personally like foxes because it showcases all 3 singers with lead. Also I think the recording equipment has improved in quality. All of them are Excellent singers!
The Trio was recording in a studio with hundreds of thousands of dollars? of likely the best equipment available at the time.This was recorded and mixed with a Behringer X32 .Came out in 2012 about $2400.Tim said going digital changed everything for small time bands.I.E. they don't have to rent expensive studio time,they can work on things in a home studio and take their time trying different things and play back a studio quality recording.
John, a special thanks for helping get the word out to the wider world, about this amazing group. Best song for me would probably be "Can't Hurry Love" but that's just today, ask me tomorrow and it might be ??????
I just bought Foxes and Fossils cd and it includes this song. Can't wait to get it. I love this band and enjoy the videos so much. As a performer, I would love to be in this band. But not much chance of that. LOL
The group is amazing, no doubt about that. If you are going to review music, you should have know that the "other two country music icons" are Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. Not picking on you, but it's always good to do a little research. Cheers and be safe.
That's great because the most annoying thing ever....is whenever any one is being observed when singing they constantly have their eyes closed. It happens so much time and again.
The cover of Neil Young's Harvest Moon is worth a listen to, no doubt. This Telling me Lies one is so touching though. As with so many of their covers, it's tempting to say they do it better than the original.
Agree with the comment below about sounding like siblings. They did a fantastic job on Don't Worry Baby, so would love to hear them attempt another multi-part Brian Wilson song such as In My Room or maybe Surfer Girl? Thank you for the beautiful sounds you're making which lighten up the dull, cold, dreary weather here in London, England xxx
Kinda late with this commen, but next to "Telling Me Lies", my favorite is "When You Say Nothing At All". That's when I fell in love with Maggie. The one that tugs at my heart the most is, "The Night Before", when Sammie pays her love to Maggie. Brings tears to my eyes every time. (But you have to know the story behind that one...)
@Schell... I'm in complete agreement with you, Leonid & Friends, they cover Chicago & EW&F better than the original bands cover themselves, F&F are of that same caliber. As John says... "All they need is one big break"... Been listening to both bands from their respective beginnings... And have never been disappointed with any cover performed!
John, you should consider reacting to a song by Chase Truran. Her cover of Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" will blow you away! Try it; you'll like it!
I have to agree.... these ladies have something special when they sing together. I just found their music yesterday and I am just amazed...from years ago to today, they just harmonize together amazingly. You need to pay the original version of this song and this version, side by side and you will see that the foxes do an even better job that the originals. Here is a link to the original. ruclips.net/video/OjkihwNeCqA/видео.html
Firstly I have to say that you are the only reactor that religiously reacts to foxes and fossils and I for one appreciate that because they are an amazing group secondly I too have not heard and still have not heard the original I mean Linda Ronstadt Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton those three are big huge names in Country musicand I never knew that they did a song together, and I honestly probably will never listen to the original because I love this version
Any song they do. I have been following them since 2014 or 15. Their parking lot and sports bar stuff was this good if you allow for it being 100% live. You want one....... Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. 15 y/o Sammy and Maggie. Chase joined after Maggie left for college...and boy am I glad she did. Yet, look at the beginning..... This is before Johnny and Toby joined.
So I just filmed my new pilot episode of The ReactionLand Podcast. I filmed the reaction part last night now I am waiting to have scott King as the special guest on the show this week via Zoom. I also wish to interview the rest of the group as well to take my show to a higher level. Any suggestions or input from you would be gladly appreciated?
This is the best cover band on the internet. Period.
F&F and Leonid and Friends are my two favorite cover bands on here. I love both.
pro trick: watch series at Flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Royal Yahir Definitely, have been using Flixzone for since november myself :D
@Royal Yahir definitely, I've been using Flixzone for months myself =)

What a rendition absolutely beautiful brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to this.
Foxes and Fossils are amazing... all quality stuff that i've heard... and the way Tim Purcell mixes and blends the music is a true credit to him...
I absolutely love listening to the Foxes and Fossils. They never cease to amaze me.

It's a tall order to cover those 3 giants of country singing. And----they have done it. Beautiful in every way. Great back-up, fossils.
I really wasn't crazy about the original even though I loved Linda Ronstadt. But the girls just made this something more than it was.
HARVEST MOON! TOTALLY AWESOME AND YOU REALLY FEEL THE SONG.......I LOVE THE BAND, MAGGIE HAS A VOICE THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!
Double Wow!!!!!!! What a beautiful rendition of this song. The harmony is just amazing the music outstanding. You guys are amazing !!!!!!
Thank you Mr Marshall for playing the video completely through without stopping for comment the way I see everybody else doing their reaction videos
Beautiful voices girls. Can’t be beaten. Instruments unbelievable.

great !!!
It's hard to pick just one favorite of theirs because they're all so darn good
Exceptional musicians and trio vocalists! Exceptionally well done
I would love to comment but I’m speechless. Wow. The singing is awesome, the music is awesome. Great job.
I'd also like to point out that these young women recorded their tracks separately having never sung it together in person to the best of my knowledge.They're rarely ever all in the same place at once.
I've watched this 6-7 times and I still stare at the screen in amazement each time. That says a lot!

Gave me goosebumps. Well done, again Foxes and Fossils.
Simply amazing harmony by Maggie, Chase and Sammie. Beautifully done.
Listen to Mr. Sandman by F&F where Sami’s older sister joins in…TOTALLY AMAZING!!! Review that!!!
Next video needs to be their cover of This is Dedicated to the One I Love by the Mamas and Papas. NO ONE covers Cass Elliot. Except Chase Turan of the F&F. FANTASTIC cover, maybe their best.
Click on Johns picture for his video list. It's one of the first F&F videos he reviewed a couple years ago .
If anyone is new to these young ladies and the fossils, you’re in for the treat of your life
omg i love Sammis voice! they are all great though
Their harmonies are sooo good....
I liked your reaction to that song! It's like listening to Angels singing!
Chase sings an amazing lead on 'Love Is The Answer' (Todd Rundgren).
Totally agree. Chase is so amazing. You can feel the girl's heart pouring out.
I fell for this band when I heard her sing lead on Say a Little Prayer the Mamas and Papas song!
Agreed James
The Three Graces of Harmony in the Temple of Atlanta.....beautiful

This is the best band on RUclips....! I can't wait to see them in person....! Love the music and the girls...! WOW...!
Just beautiful, great job.
One word, OUTSTANDING!
All I can say is WOW amazing ❤❤I agree
I haven't heard three voices like this since The Roches and The Trio themselves. It's got to be a treat for The Trio to hear this being done so well.
Wow, The Roches! Didn't know anyone remembered them! I saw them open for Boz Scaggs at Berkeley in the late 70's.
how are these girls not more famous? Sammie needs to go on the Voice. Her Tori Kelly cover was the best thing I have ever heard.
top shelf stuff, the best music out now ! all other modern music? stuff just buzzing noises !
Linda Thompson (of Richard and Linda Thompson fame) wrote this song. The Trio (Ronstadt, Harris and Parton) did a cover of it.
Yes, give Linda the credit she deserves, her version I believe to be better than the Trio anyway.
They are a gift !!!
I just bought Foxes and Fossils cd and it includes this song. Can't wait to get it. I love this band and enjoy the videos so much. As a performer, I would love to be in this band. But not much chance of that. LOL
Their CD is awesome! Definitely worth every penny. In fact I would go as far as to say " Its the gift that keeps on giving"
I’ve watched this video so many times, if it was a CD, it would have been worn out.
Maggie and Sammie sing so well together.....always did
Would love for the F&F to do a version of Bonnie Raitts "If I could make you love me". That would be killer with all them harmony vocals!
Chase has recorded this classic as a solo.
@@stevenwilson6364 Yes.
John Thanks, "Can't Hurry Love" They kicked this one Up a bit, and it's Phenomenal !! Or Any, There All Great!
Thank you, I appreciate your request
The group is amazing, no doubt about that. If you are going to review music, you should have know that the "other two country music icons" are Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. Not picking on you, but it's always good to do a little research. Cheers and be safe.
Absolutely perfection
Chase opens her eyes on the line “I close my eyes”.
That's great because the most annoying thing ever....is whenever any one is being observed when singing they constantly have their eyes closed. It happens so much time and again.
Dude looked like me first time I heard this song. SHOCK AND AWE!
Listen to Dedicated to the one I love...Best Harmony parts, they nailed it....
Looks like something got got moved up in the rotation, John .This one is really just incredibly beautiful.
Yes Lyn, It was amazing! Definitely a keeper.
They are awesome.
It just doesn't get any better
Wow alsome foxes done it again easy listening at its best
Helplessly Hoping
I listened again...I’m pleasured...there it is again
Harvest Moon would be a good f&f song to hear.
Thank you Charles, Harvest moon is actually being edited this evening. But, just in time to add you into the shout outs.....thanks again
The cover of Neil Young's Harvest Moon is worth a listen to, no doubt. This Telling me Lies one is so touching though. As with so many of their covers, it's tempting to say they do it better than the original.
Click on his round picture above for the video list .He watched Harvest Moon and several others starting with 7 bridges road.
You Just keep getting better and better.
I disagree. I believe they hit their peak 5 years ago. Sammie and Maggie have lost interest. Chase is the heart of the band now.
Can’t wait for more!
Lovely !

Well, this is absolutely wonderful.
'crazy' is a good one...Linda Thompson authored 'Telling Me Lies" following her breakup with Richard Thompson.
Thinking out loud, Strawberry Wine!👍
Ooooh! Excellent request. Thank you Joseph
Amazing!
As usual very well done. The best band in America. Could do without the ongoing comments. Don't need him in the video.
Love Is The Answer is one of, if not their best. Also, The Night Before, Nobody Love, Dedicated To The One I Love, Good Kisser, Runaway...
Until this one came along, I felt "Love is the Answer" was their best, but the others you mention are also on my "Tops" list.
Beautiful loved it great singing music spot on
The best I’ve heard and I listen to a lot of music I’m a big fan
Their best yet. Team them up with HSCC
Perfection
How Much I Feel - Ambrosia
Man that's good.
Well... That worked. Really well.
This COULD be a brand new single!
Sibling harmony- without being siblings!!
Incredible. Wow.

I need a moment
Firstly I have to say that you are the only reactor that religiously reacts to foxes and fossils and I for one appreciate that because they are an amazing group secondly I too have not heard and still have not heard the original I mean Linda Ronstadt Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton those three are big huge names in Country musicand I never knew that they did a song together, and I honestly probably will never listen to the original because I love this version
They made 2 albums together I think, if you want more songs to suggest F&F cover,they can be found on You Tube. "The Trio".
Although the original is great, this is better
English folk singer Linda Thompson wrote the song and originally recorded it before "The Trio". Lindas version is brilliant.
I think a great song for the foxes and fossils to cover would be an old Jimmy Webb song ‘the moons harsh mistress’ I think Lynda Rhonstat sang it
I have two questions.
1) Who are the 31 people who gave this a thumbs down?
2) Why didn't I hear of them before June of 2021?
That would be 31 leftist people who don't like nor appreciate great music. F and F are Amazing
@@jemntertainment most probably. They must like cRap which signifies that they don't even know what music is.
ROYALS..THE MOST AWESOME BEST!
Eagles. 'The Sad Cafe' would be a good fit for F&F.
Their newest cover is My Church, from Maren Morris with Sammie singing lead. Sammie is a natural country singer. Check it out, John. It's a fun cover!
Seven bridges road!!!!
Any song they do. I have been following them since 2014 or 15. Their parking lot and sports bar stuff was this good if you allow for it being 100% live.
You want one....... Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. 15 y/o Sammy and Maggie. Chase joined after Maggie left for college...and boy am I glad she did. Yet, look at the beginning..... This is before Johnny and Toby joined.
He has reacted to Suite,down the list a ways.
So I just filmed my new pilot episode of The ReactionLand Podcast. I filmed the reaction part last night now I am waiting to have scott King as the special guest on the show this week via Zoom. I also wish to interview the rest of the group as well to take my show to a higher level. Any suggestions or input from you would be gladly appreciated?
