      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.

  • @Vikezupa
    @Vikezupa 10 місяців тому +49

    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!

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.

      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.

    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! ❤

    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.

      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.

    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.
