R.I.P. Scott King, you are missed, and we are comforted by your musical legacy and extraordinary bass play and more. 🙏

The best cover band on youtube

Their cover of "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" is the best cover song EVER!

One of the best, if not the best, cover band on KZfaq

No gimmicks. Just raw talent. Glad you discovered by favorite band. Watch more because they started singing live at 15. Harmonies have always been there.

My favorite band!!!!! RIP Scott King

Chase absolutely awesome control.. and super set of lungs

F&F are like musical wishes come true from a genies' lamp.

Chase has one the best lower registers that you will ever hear. Her lead vocal on another Todd Rundgren classic "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference" is also stellar. All of her lead vocals are spot on

They are so tight. Glad you’ve found F&F Beth. Check out their performances in the mall parking lot!

I hope Todd has heard this ! I am sure he would approve.

This band is really an example of many styles of music done astoundingly well. F&F is a really awesome group.

Two things: (2) I discovered and fell for this band during COVID and have watched their videos probably hundreds of times in the last three years. Lots of talent for a Georgia cover band. (2) Most if not all of their pre-2020 videos are in public venues -- bars, festivals, etc. -- but their live performances measure up to this studio-quality song.

Foxes and Fossils cover several Todd Rundgren songs because Chase's voice is perfect for his tunes. This is my favorite cover group on the internet.

If you want to see INCREDIBLE group harmony with just one mike, look up their cover of "Dedicated to the One I Love" --- it's absolutely mind boggling. F&F are why KZfaq was created in the first place.

Foxes and Fossils are a phenomenal cover band. Beautiful harmonies and arrangments. Glad to see you reacting to them.

Discovered this group during UK COVID lockdown,they are brilliant imho

No one sings like Chase she is the Best, you can feel the Emotion she puts into her vocals.

Actually, they all record individually but film together. Tim is able to balance them because of that. He has commented that he often has to reduce the volume on his daughter Sammie because her high pitched voice tends to sound louder than it really is. So he does do mixing but there is no auto tune here. If you watch their early live videos you will see they all have their own mic and were again recorded on their own tracks so Tim was able to do some mixing for the videos, which is why they generally sound as good as the stuff done in Tim's basement. Also, the group doesn't rehearse nearly as much as you might think. For the live performances they usually had one rehearsal at the beginning of summer and then did a few shows over the summer break recording one of them. Thanks for the review. This group doesn't get nearly enough attention.

This is one of my favorite pieces on KZfaq. I revisit it often and am always overwhelmed by the power of their rendition of Todd Rundgren's song. The entire band is great but Chase soared in this one.

Watching your expressions as you really enjoy what they are doing is almost as much fun as watching FnF.

Wow! That was amazing! Thanks for reviewing!

The saying for a long time was "the South will rise again." Is this group what they were talking about. These ladies can sing very, very well. I so enjoy their work! Speaking of runs, just wait for it. Chase is vocally just warming up. She gets with the program near the end. And she has a great range. And her voice is SO warm and tender. All that time Chase spent singing in church. Shows up here. Gospel?? BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my favorite Vocal Coaches on KZfaq reacting to one of my favorite bands on KZfaq! That could only happen on KZfaq! Love it! Thank you Beth Roar and thank you Foxes and Fossils!

Tim is a master mixer. They always have the best sounds. They are great!

I just love this group and can hardly wait each month or so for the next video to come out. They are excellent singers and musicians and Todd Rundgren has heard them do his songs and had nothing but praise for them. They do such a large range of styles and each of the three girls as well as Tim and Darwin get their chance to shine as lead vocalist. They started out recording their live performances about 10 years ago when there was no drummer and only one lead guitarist as well as only having two female singers. The make up of the band changed slightly over the years and then with all the girls gone off to college they stopped performing for a while. And then about 2 or 3 years ago all the members got back together and started recording in the studio. They haven't performed live in about 5 years but are planning a live performance for the end of the year. I'm so planning on being there. Hope to see you do more reactions to Foxes and Fossils, Beth. Love your channel.

Beth, You are going to enjoy this so very much. This group's harmonies are tight and gentle. Their skill sets are off of the charts. The young lady singing, Chase saves some of the best for the end. Tim (black tee-shirt) has been in the music game for some time. Darwin has a rich low bass voice. Maggie Adams could sing a telephone book and make it sound good. Lastly Sammie adds her special twist. I think Todd would approve of this cover.

Check out their early live sets. In one series they’re practically in the parking lot of a taco place. Cars going by, people passing…,and they’re killing it! You can see the fun they’re having. The audio quality is first class!

They recently just dropped their cover of CSN Southern Cross. The harmonies are fabulous.

These guys are fantastic. Check them out! Should listen to her sing Goodbye Yellow Brick Road!

Their Dance with me and Mr. Sandman are great listens.

The Beautiful placement and resonance of every vowel and of course the lockstep phrasing and enunciation, creates beautiful lush harmonic timbre and also makes my brain vibrate... as a former member of a top level choir singing everything from classical to modern pieces in English, Latin, Italian and German, this is the kind of blend you work hard to create, live in real time ... (AutoWHAT??) And you have to thank Todd Rundgren and God for this heavensent piece of music...

Been watching them a decade as the arranger's daughter went off to college and returned, another married, one member passed away. They cover classic rock, pop, and country classics with expert precision and harmonies.

Chase's voice sends shivers down my spine,she has the ability to make you think that she is singing to you personally. Sammie makes all the harmony's work,she can sing the phone book.

So glad you did a reaction to F&F, please also take a look at “telling me lies”. Chase has such a great range and the whole group is just brilliant.

Do more. This group is great

F&F, The Best. Period.

Beth, Thanks SOO Much for doing F.&F. they are Phenomenal!! Large Catalog on KZfaq, Looking forward to you doing ANOTHER F.&F. ! Going to check out your other channel Now. THANKS BETH!!

That was really nice and quite impressive in how effortless they made it look. Especially, since Rundgren's songs aren't easy.

You have found my favorite cover band, they are amazing and no they do not rehearse much they are in three different states most of the time . just good old fashioned talent.

And Beth stops the video.... Just as Chase starts into the wonderful call and response section where she simply Tears It Up !!! AAaaahhh !!!!

Great reaction! Good point on the voices. They have some live, outside recordings where the vocals are just as good!

Such a smooth vocalization. You can really feel it not just hear it. Having worked with sound boards, using the one mic for a quartet may be old school but it does show how well the entire group melds so well together. And having another mic being used for a remote singer is so well done. Very well done. Todd would be proud.

Great Analysis of KZfaq's """"BEST"""" Cover of "Love Is the Answer"! [F's & F's cover-work is OutStanding!!!!]

Beth, I hope you listen to other videos by F & F. Their first recorded performance was Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. Nailed it before a live audience! The women were just teenagers at the time.

Foxes and Fossils are #1 !!

FOXES AND FOSSILS ARE SO GOOD !!!!!!!

A delicious “vocal manager” commenting while enjoying the singing of this unique group. You did it very well.

Foxes & Fossil’s. My very favorite cover band!

Good discussion about harmonies. Harmony choices also depend on what's coming.

Hi Beth, great review of F&F. I happened upon them in February 2018, when I was on KZfaq searching for a version of Suite: Judy Blue Eyes to rehearse to in the car. (I asked my husband and a friend to perform it for a festival a year away and my husband took the vocal part I usually sing, so I needed to practice it like it was a new song). KZfaq suggested Foxes and Fossils, and I was blown away by their performance. Later, I found out it was there VERY first live show, when Maggie and Sammie were 15! Fell down the rabbit hole and became a huge fan, happily attending both reunion shows in Atlanta next week and am pretty sure live is going to be just as phenomenal as all the live recorded videos, probably better. However, I am sad that Scott King will not be there to bask in the adoration he well deserves along with everyone else. You recommended checking out their channel, so it appears you've seen all those live shows. Tim's mixing from live audio rivals the best in the business, and there's never been an autotune assisted track in that bunch. If you're looking for recommendations of where to start after viewing Beth's review, I encourage you to check out Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. Other classics that do the originals justice include Seven Bridges Road, Amie, Landslide, Royals, Here and Now, Barton Hollow, The Things We Do For Love, and the Night Before. To be honest, there is not a dud on their KZfaq channel. All their albums are currently in my car, with the Christmas CD in heavy rotation at the moment. (I also like their covers of some covers, like Senses Working Overtime) You think of a song with a strong harmony, and the odds are good they've done it. If you decide that this is a band you must see, there are some tickets left to see them in Atlanta.

I stumbled across this group a couple of years ago. They are awesome!

Yes...Chase is the BOMB!!!

Bravo, F.& F.👏

That's a really nice version, never heard it before, and sounds great with the headphones on.. This channel has / is being a real musical education... Thank you Beth ...

F& F are awesome

Foxes and Fossils is truly my favorite!

The harmony shot- The two people on the right, TIm Purcell, and Sammi Purcell, are father and daughter

One way you can tell how incredible they are at mixing is how Maggie was recording this remotely (I think she was in college) and her background vocals harmonize with the others perfectly.

Chase the lead vocal is excellent

Wonderful seeing this get recognized and appreciated. I love many of their incredible covers, but imho this one rises above all. Her soaring vocal just vibrates my core and almost brings me to tears. It's perfect!

This is actually one of may favorite songs F and F does. Also like their version of America

A perfect cover. These folks are wonderful, smooth, warm, and quite talented. I believe the issue with these folks is the foxes sorta grew up. May I suggest that you watch and review F&F's cover of Neil Young's Harvest Moon. It is another beautiful cover....

Rundgren’s counter-tenor voice always fascinated me

Te felicito por esta reacción a un muy buen grupo que toca canciones de mi época Felicitaciones Saludos desde México

This song, in my opinion, is the absolute epitome of unadultured vocal collaboration. F&F has tons of great content, but this song is a jewel.

Love Is the answer And I love your channel! ❤️

The old guys playing the instruments are master musicians.

You have chosen my favorite video on KZfaq. I have probably watched it about 20 times, no exaggeration. It lifts me up. ❤

Love them,the members are Tim Purcell( keyboards,acoustic,guitar) Sammie Purcell Tim's daughter Vocals) Maggie Adams(vocals) Chase Trurant who is lead on this song) Toby Ruckert ( Guitar)Scott King-bass)who just passed away a couple months ago.Johnny Pike(drums)Darwin Conort(Guitar)

Nice cover, but I was so excited to see Todd Rundgren finally getting the love he deserves. Maybe react to a few of his classics: "Can We Still Be Friends," "Hello, It's Me," etc.

Fossils And Foxes is a damn fine group, but Chase is amazing.

Thank you, TOM!!

I like your description about chord construction and how it shapes the vocal harmonies. Todd utilizes so many colorizations with Min3, Sus4, Maj7, Dom7, and F&F always meet the challenge, as with so many vocal heavy selections and arrangements they cover.

You will be hard pressed to find any cover band better than to Foxes and Fossils

Nice suggestion Tom and another excellent review, Beth! I always enjoy BOTH of your channels. Rundgren hit it out of the park with this one. A great song, covered by many, and F&F absolutely do it justice. I’ve found another group to add to my playlist!

nothing like a strong alto solo ....rare

I could watch you break down someone singing the phone book. I love your appreciation and descriptions of vocal harmonies.

I hope Todd gets the chance to hear this.

they are the best been watching F&F for years girls started at fifteen years old

They sound great. Nice video as always. 👍👍

Thank you for reviewing this video, Beth! I’m a huge fan of F & F! It’s the harmonies that do it for me too! I sing in my church choir and just love harmonizing.

Not much auto tune here, watch some of their very early live performance videos and will hear how so great the vocals are.....they always have been very tight.

Thanks Beth, I hope you do more F&F. Tim started recording these mostly for family, 10 years ago. Then Sweet Judie Blue eyes took off on KZfaq. I think you will particularly like their Mama & Papa covers & CSN&Y covers.

There was a lot of great music in the 70s and 80s that you won't hear performed except by 'cover' bands. Some of the better ones I follow are Lake Street Dive who do jazzy covers of R&B and Leonid & Friends who cover Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire. Too many of the bands from my youth have key members that have passed on, so I'm glad that good musicians are keeping their songs alive.

Chase Truran has her own KZfaq channel, sings a lot of old standards and jazz outside of F&F. I found these guys years ago and always wondered why Tim Purcell did not make it in Nashville as an artist or producer because he obviously has the chops and skills. I have loved watching Maggie and Sammie mature over time.

1st time I’ve watched one of your videos and I am already hooked! Liked and subscribed. By the way I’ve been a fan of Fossils and Foxes for a long time now.

These guys are great and Im subscribed to them . Go check out the rest of their recordings . The girls are fantastic . Maggie has a superb voice . They have really been around since 2010 when the girls were in high school . They were great then when they were playing in the parking lots of a taco eatery .

This is a nicely done cover too.

Try their version of “Telling Me Lies”, you get to hear each of the “Foxes” individually

F&F are so cool. I've been listening to them since their pizza patio days. Working harmonies as they should be worked.

I didnt know that Todd Rundgren had penned this song. I had figured he was a bit rock music type........Todd performed a few yrs. ago at the Beatles' Hollywood Bowl Tribute show.......a great version of "For The Benefit of Mr. Kite."

No comment on a 5 measure belt? Pretty impressive feat in my book.

You should hear our lips are sealed by them, live

I personally think that foxes and fossils are great . I personally learn how sing in church choir.

Have you heard any of the covers by LEONID & FRIENDS? They do some amazing covers of CHICAGO songs. Their cover of VEHICLE by the IDES OF MARCH is amazing too.

Love these guys.....check out their other offerings (Foxes and Fossils)

There is more of this happening, with them. They have a couple hunded videos out.

I’ve been hoping for many months that you would check out their amazing harmonies (not to mention instrumental prowess). Great stuff!

You need to check out some of the other songs they have recorded. They did a sensational job on the Beach Boy's Don't Worry Baby" and you need to see them when the girls were still in high school doing a very difficult song, Judy Blue Eyes, by CSN.
