Just real down to earth people who make it all about the song, not the individual performers. Hit the orange F&F to go to their complete list of well over 100 great covers.
I’ve had the privilege of attending several of their monthly Patreon zoom calls and as Lyn says, the band members really are the most fantastic, down-to-earth people you could meet. I have also been very fortunate to catch up with band leader Tim Purcell and singer Maggie Adams’ parents, Larry and Ellen, who took time out during their UK and European holidays for a personal get-together in the UK. Wonderful times!
This must be about the 100th time i've played this song I've been involved with several bands over the years and one problem that most bands have is they are limited in their choices when they arrange their songs You guys have at least 5 lead singers - bloody excellent singers, not just good singers. They all hit their notes without autotune, know harmonies, show discipline in singing in the group, and you have 2 guitarists, which gives you so many options It's no wonder you can handle all sorts of songs that other groups couldnt. OUTSTANDING!!!! Thank you for persevering with the band when it got logistically difficult.
The vocals are just classic F&F. Soft, pure, on point. Big record just will never get it. We want honesty. Forget the ridiculous vocal calisthenics. F&F tells the story with honesty, purity, feeling and true ‘soul’. Great band!
Sammie's voice has gotten fuller and more expressive with age. She was an amazing singer at 15 when she first sang with F&F, but is now truly a great singer.
So many of the records from the singer songwriter era...just great pop tunes. Well written, melody, harmony and leave plenty of room for the musicians to stretch and play these nifty little solos that fit. Playing to the song. Well done on some of these hidden treasures
I saw Karla Bonoff sing this song tonight 04/11/24 in Park City, UT. A great show with her friend Nina Gerber on electric guitar and acoustic when Karla played the piano.
Definitely 2 voices that were meant to sing together, which is why he asked Maggie if she would join his little project all those years ago. He had heard Maggie sing in church and school since she was about 7.
I’m sure I’m not the first to say this but , Tim, you are one awesome guy. The talent you surround yourself with, a daughter who has grown soo much in her confidence, the talent she’s always had, and the choices you make in the songs you cover, genius. The band mates, the foxes, pure genius. Sammie, you killed it again, as usual.
I also agree; but I have to admit I don't know who you're talking about. Who's who in the group? I assume Tim is the white-haired fella playing two guitars and the bass all at once? @@rodneylouw4923
I don’t think Sammie has ever sounded better. There’s a warmth to her voice that she didn’t have in her youth. It’s more neutral sounding as well, making her more versatile.
Listening to this again and this is my second comment. I worked in the concert business 23 years (Stones, Prince, Madonna, Eagles, U2, Journey, and hundreds more). Again, YOU ALL ARE REALLY, REALLY GOOD. And that's an obvious understatement.
Short Track, I would respectfully disagree - after hearing her cover "Nobody Love", by Tori Kelly......I was stunned at her range. Pull it up and listen.......it's epic.
Each musician and voices add their own specialty but I must say Sammie completely nailed this one, her voice lends that special voice only she masters, Good job Sammie.
Nice cover. Karla Bonoff, in my opinion, is WAY underrated. "Please be the One". "Oh Mary". And several Linda Ronstadt covers. Thanks, F&F, for covering Karla.
Amazing! I hear Sammie and I think she's the best. Then I hear Maggie and I think she's the best. Then I hear Chase and I think she's the best. Then I marvel at the fossils and their great talent. Finally, I'm blessed that you have all come together to help make magic in my life.
Really, I think Tim's the best. The way he produces and arranges is first class. So is the recording, mixing, and sound engineering. So is the video editing. The real magic in this group is that whoever is the lead vocalist, everyone else is doing so much to bring out the best performance. They care about one another, and you can hear that.
I like Maggie’s voice the best. Chase has the best range. Sammie is solid and the daughter but she seems to overwork the harmonies trying to overpower the other two. Still an awesome group to listen too,
It is rare for me to love a cover more than the original, but this is one of those times. Wow, you guys absolutely nailed this. I listen to it over and over and over again because it's just so stunning.
That was sooooo great. The song was made for Sammie. Love the bits of harmony with Maggie. Love the new do Ross! And the instruments. So rich and layered. SOOO many instrument screens in the edit. Thanks guys. Filled my heart. And I appreciated the Scott tribute at the end. Brought a tear.
Ok so here we have Sammie singing solo, which is just great! Then we have sections with Sammie and Maggie duo, which is about as good at it gets! Then - WHAM - all five singers together, and it blows the roof off the joint! I love this band!!!
Sammie's voice has matured beautifully over the years. It is softer, fuller, and has more warmth than when she was younger. She is always pitch perfect and effortly hits the high notes. A beautiful young lady with an outstanding voice.
Oh that Strat! Sounds so good! My kids bought me a sunburst, maple neck Strat for Christmas. They’d heard me talk about a Strat I once owned for years. They saved, got my son-in-laws on board, some of their friends..and they all chipped in. I was in tears. I love that guitar.
I agree with you and I’ve said it many times. If Sammie wanted to get into the industry all she would have to do is stay in her lane with country music and they would be knocking on her door to cut a record. I don’t think she likes country music but there is a career for her if she wanted it.
Excellent connection to "Nobody Love." Sammies voice has matured nicely and she beautifully carries the lead in this song, but she also totally killed "Nobody Love" especially at about 2:30, with precision, tone and pitch!
Not just a great musical rendition of Wynonna Judd's hit, but I was particularly impressed . . . even touched emotionally by the silent tribute to the late Scott King at the end of the video.
Great Karla Bonoff song that she wrote for Linda Ronstadt. There is a video on You Tube with Karla singing this and Linda doing background vocals. Sammie nails the lead and everyone is superb as usual.
This is a very good concept. A young strong voice accompanied by a bunch of seasoned players who have honed their skills for decades. Greetings from Finland.
Another fabulous song by Karla Bonoff, the best songwriter you've never heard of. Many of the songs she has authored were sung by better known performers - she did a huge number of songs for Linda Ronstadt. She went on to perform her stuff herself and she's a very good singer in her own right. Isn't it Always Love, When Will I Be Loved, I Can't Hold On, Personally, Someone to Lay Down Beside Me, Lose Again - all hers. And of course, Foxes and Fossils kills it, as usual. The best cover group in the business.
This is a great song, never heard it performed badly, except me in the shower. Catchy tune and lyrics sung witha great voice with outstanding musicians. I love it!
Absolutely Beautiful………..had to hear it again….then again!
Sammie, job well done and of course the music was top shelf as usual. Thank you ALL
These folks just nail it song after song. This is one of the best groups on UA-cam.
Sammie just kills this song! So great to hear her doing lead vocals!
Yea, Sammie's like a fine wine. Just keeps getting better with time.
Agreed!
Increíble ❤❤❤❤❤!
Yes, I’ve been waiting for a while to finally see Sammie take the lead. She was great! Everyone with F&F is super.
I’m a huge Karla Bonoff fan and you guys nailed it!!
Oh my goodness, this is so beautiful! I just love it!!!
I LOVE this girl’s voice- so crystal clear, pitch perfect, good projection, and silky smooth! Just beautiful!
Not sure why but I just find this group really makes me smile. On top of being really good they just have something that gives off a positivity.

Sammie is great at any song, but when she hits her high notes she lights up the world.
oh yeah, the world
Sam's voice is getting better and better. Really good now. And unique.
Although nothing lasts forever I hope everyone in Foxes and Fossils realizes and cherishes the fact that they have captured lightning in a bottle...
like it all - lead vocals - vocals the band rhythm
Totally Sublime....what an amazing team...❤❤❤
What a band, even the fossils rock !!!
Rock on, Sammie! We love you!

Her 29th birthday is Saturday!
Happy Birthday Sammie!!🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

@@lynwessel2471 Wait! Sammy is 29 y/o?
She's just perfect.
Karla Bonoff is underrated national treasure. That cover was well done.
I've been listening to her since 1981. I love Lose Again.
Rose in my Garden is my favorite from her first album
So many of the records from the singer songwriter era...just great pop tunes. Well written, melody, harmony and leave plenty of room for the musicians to stretch and play these nifty little solos that fit. Playing to the song. Well done on some of these hidden treasures
genius songwriter. still touring.

I like how Tim uses Maggies and Sams voices to compliment each other especially when he has them singing together lead
Definitely 2 voices that were meant to sing together, which is why he asked Maggie if she would join his little project all those years ago. He had heard Maggie sing in church and school since she was about 7.

Thanks guys for elevating our spirits with every performance!
Soon be 79 and still loving the sound of this group. Hope they keep it up.
Hey I just turned 81 and I love the sound. All the ladies can sing beautifully.
me 2 in Oct.
I'll be 79 Oct.11 I love these gals music.
73. Just found them !!!! Amazing !!!!!
Great song you all rock !!!
Wow , Outstanding !
Sammie killed it!!! Wow!!!
Sammie is amazing and the background vocals and band are top notch…
Not to mention 1st class production..
I don’t think Sammie has ever sounded better. There’s a warmth to her voice that she didn’t have in her youth. It’s more neutral sounding as well, making her more versatile.
OUTSTANDING!!!
Knock it out of the park yet again.

WOW! GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏼😎
Outstanding!
Tim has already announced that Sammie sings lead….and she is spectacular!!!! Oh, baby!!!
Don't know or care for the song, but I couldn't stop watching because of the great execution of this cover...
I didn’t think I knew the song until I listened to it but to your point, I had to watch every single one of them perform. They are so amazing!
F&F is the standard by which all cover bands should be measured. Perfect!
These folks just get better and better.
Watched a lot of these videos over the years and this is Sammie's strongest vocal. The arrangement and music here is better then the original.
You should hear Karla Bonnoff sing it then
@@danblumel This cover is way better then the original!
This is by far my favourite number by Sammie. I love almost everything where Maggie is the lead singer but this was nicely done. Bravo !
Short Track, I would respectfully disagree - after hearing her cover "Nobody Love", by Tori Kelly......I was stunned at her range. Pull it up and listen.......it's epic.
Let’s hear more of Sammie!
That's awesome 👍 great
There is no comment I can make to do justice to this! Bravo as always!
Wow, it's difficult to have me speechless, but you all die IT again!
Foxes and Fossils are a timeless, magical band. I just love them all!!!
…proof that…
hearing someone sing
can stir up that loving feeling.
Karla Bonoff she is a great singer love this song !!!
Thinking of Karla on this first day of Passover.
Karla was a very good song writer, just ask Linda Ronstadt.
My goodness….Sammie…is smooth! Excellent music!
Karla Bonoff doesn't get enough credit for providing successful original material to Linda Ronstadt. Thanks for this great cover by F and F.
Each musician and voices add their own specialty but I must say Sammie completely nailed this one, her voice lends that special voice only she masters, Good job Sammie.
Wow! Sammie at her Best!! The band is Awesome as usual!
Nice cover. Karla Bonoff, in my opinion, is WAY underrated. "Please be the One". "Oh Mary". And several Linda Ronstadt covers. Thanks, F&F, for covering Karla.
Sammie really does have a beautiful voice
Way to belt it out Sammie: that's a home run. You're so good at background harmony, and phenomenal as the lead!
I JUST LOVE SAMMIE'S VOICE :)
Oh my gosh. Just randomly discovered this. How awesome!!!!
You must check out there other material. It's as extensive as it is awesome. ❤
Amazing! I hear Sammie and I think she's the best. Then I hear Maggie and I think she's the best. Then I hear Chase and I think she's the best. Then I marvel at the fossils and their great talent. Finally, I'm blessed that you have all come together to help make magic in my life.

Don't make me cry
" The fossils" lol
Hey! Watch it there, Buddy.. WHO you callin' a fossil?!? 😁
I like Maggie’s voice the best. Chase has the best range. Sammie is solid and the daughter but she seems to overwork the harmonies trying to overpower the other two. Still an awesome group to listen too,
This is superbly done. I had to replay it.
Wow, Great Cover. You all “Really Rock”! 🎼🎤🎸🥁🔥
It is rare for me to love a cover more than the original, but this is one of those times. Wow, you guys absolutely nailed this. I listen to it over and over and over again because it's just so stunning.
I agree. I just listened to Karla Bonoff’s own version and this is better!
OK, I admit it....been back every night since you put this out here!
That was sooooo great. The song was made for Sammie. Love the bits of harmony with Maggie. Love the new do Ross! And the instruments. So rich and layered. SOOO many instrument screens in the edit. Thanks guys. Filled my heart. And I appreciated the Scott tribute at the end. Brought a tear.
Love Sammie’s voice
It’s amazing
Been watching Sammie grow up. Fantastic talent and beautiful young lady!
Videos from age 14 to 29 on the channel.
And to me she really doesn't look that much different@@lynwessel2471
Talk about versatility, all of them master the art of harmony & lead seamlessly. Always a treat to listen to.
Keep up the great singing don’t stop
Sammie has really grown on her vocals. Great job all around!
great job folks...
how many times can you say wow about this band ??
Awsome Awesome Awesome..as always. The Bass on this one sounded like Scott was playing, he was hitting it. 👍👍❤❤
You know why? Its Scott's brother Ross King
@@lynwessel2471 well there you go. It's in the blood.

The beautiful and talented Sammie Purcell !!!!
just one of Sammie's best - great song selection
I’ve lost track on how many home runs F&F have hit. Excellent job Chase!!!
34 in the 1-5 million views category so fair.
This one really suits Sammies voice.Brilliant foxes,well played.
Oh that Strat! Sounds so good!
My kids bought me a sunburst, maple neck Strat for Christmas.
They’d heard me talk about a Strat I once owned for years.
They saved, got my son-in-laws on board, some of their friends..and they all chipped in.
I was in tears.
I love that guitar.
Shades of Mark Knoffler in there somewhere IMO.
Sammie's voice is so perfect for country! Love this!
I agree with you and I’ve said it many times. If Sammie wanted to get into the industry all she would have to do is stay in her lane with country music and they would be knocking on her door to cut a record. I don’t think she likes country music but there is a career for her if she wanted it.
Another great cover! I like the split screen showing the band playing different instruments and the singing the vocals!
Great version of a great song by Karla Bonoff. It’s great to hear Sammy cut loose with her voice. Very nicely done.
It's nice to hear Sam on lead vocal!
Karla Bonoff is a singer/ songwriter I followed through college in the late 70’s….awesomeness
Nice tribute to Ms bonoff
Once again, I only can say: WOW! WOW! WOW! DOUBLE WOW! Give them a Grammy - if you don‘t have a category for them - creat one!
I am sort of a new listener and surprised that Sammie has such a nice voice. First time hearing her as a soloist.
The power and range of "Nobody Love" comes through once again, proving that Sammie has a special gift. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent connection to "Nobody Love." Sammies voice has matured nicely and she beautifully carries the lead in this song, but she also totally killed "Nobody Love" especially at about 2:30, with precision, tone and pitch!
Fun band.
I think Sammie's voice continues to get better and the harmonies are off the chart, Well done.
This band is truly phenomenal! Down the smallest detail, you all have it together. The sound is magic.........Please, keep it up...........
I still enjoy all of your releases…I’ve been with you for maybe as long as 9 years…Istill have a crush on Sammie…God bless you all…F
Love Sammy's voice.
Sammie out sings Whynona on this and that saying something!!!!
Wow! Sammie does a great job on this Karla Bonoff classic.
Sammie kills it on this song. As always, everyone sounds exceptional. What a bunch of talent!
I can hear tenors, toms and bass, not just snares or crashes as in many recordings. Another reason to respect this band. Solid, reliable drumming.
Sure hope there's not a limit to how many times I can play this.
Not just a great musical rendition of Wynonna Judd's hit, but I was particularly impressed . . . even touched emotionally by the silent tribute to the late Scott King at the end of the video.
I Love that Tim chose to use that at the end, a true friend to Scott! ❤
I hope you all are getting a lot of satisfaction out of this. You deserve it. You are making a lot of people happy.
Great Karla Bonoff song that she wrote for Linda Ronstadt. There is a video on You Tube with Karla singing this and Linda doing background vocals. Sammie nails the lead and everyone is superb as usual.
Karla still has a sublime voice, to this day.
Glad to see that somebody gave props to Karla for writing a great song, and doing a killer version of it herself by the way
This is a very good concept. A young strong voice accompanied by a bunch of seasoned players who have honed their skills for decades. Greetings from Finland.
