@@chygwelanmeneth Very little practice together. This was recorded the first weekend after they got the group back together after 2 years not performing. Maggie hadn't sung with them in over 5 years, came down from Nashville for the weekend and they recorded most of the vocals for 7 songs.
Well here we are at 3.10 am on a Saturday morning and I can't sleep so made a cup of tea, yes I am English, turned on the computer and listened to this track for probably the twelfth time and it never fails to impress me. The lyrics are so clear, the backing vocals and musicians so superb. This eighty year old could listen to F and F forever so whatever you people do please please keep making music.
I've been listening to various genre of music- pop, rock, country, contemporary, doo-wop, light jazz. I must say this group has the tightest harmony I have ever heard. If you agree give me a thumbs up. If not, listen to this song again or some of the other sounds by Foxes and Fossils.
Too Much Heaven by the Bee Gees. Some excellent harmony. Several Crosby, Still Nash some crazy good harmony. But this group is right up there for sure. I can listen to music that I totally dislike when Foxes and Fossils cover it.
1964, Shut Down Volume 2 on the stereo listening to this amazing song over and over. Now, at 70 years old, I'm listening to this version with tears running down my cheeks. We can never get those days back but we can always hope that "everything will work out all right". A huge thanks to Brian Wilson and to the Foxes and Fossils for such a wonderful rendition of a great song.
76 yo here. Lived through it all. Love BW and the BB's. The greatest rythym and rock group EVER. Excellent rendition. R.I.P. Brian's wife Melinda today! Cheers Zac
Foxes and Fossils have done an outstanding job of capturing the very essence of Brian Wilson's brilliant chords and beautiful harmonies...keep on chugging fossils...right there with ya. Cheers.
@@thomasfisher5742 The harmony is great. It is hard to isolate and individual to love more than any other. Chase has some amazing Christmas songs out....just sayin.....CHASE
OK, I am an old guy born in 1950 but that put me in the sixties at just the right age and man the music of that time still lives deep inside me. This song was one of my absolute favorites back then and even now. I had a 57 Chevy Bel Air in 67, loved that car and a certain young lady even more so this song sort of fit. Well the car is gone, she is gone but this song and me are still here. Thank You F&F.
My brother talked my Dad into buying a 428 Ford station wagon that got a whopping 8 mi/gal and a paper route so he could drag race in DC on Sunday mornings - a world we will never see again!
Maggies voice is just superb, the harmonies are great, and the bass vocal counterpoint is very good. The instrumental portion can't be beat. Don't forget how good the production is. I feel the Beach Boys, and Al Jardine Family and Friends, should be proud (and jealous) of such a good cover.
michaellauer3397-You should listen to the 70’s version of that song 🎵- it’s even better. But this girl forgot to change the’she’ to ‘He’ in the song.Good voice though.
Been in and out of rock radio since 1966. Now at 73 years old I am retired and listening to great oldies...(Not covers). But damn, I keep finding my way back to F & F's. You guys are outstanding.
Blown away.... vocal tones, harmonies, guitar, piano, drums and timing, all flawless, so beautiful... Timeless music that bridges the generation gap. Kudos !! From, " The Two Young Relics "
Wow, I am sitting here stunned. I am very happy you you covered this song and didn't copy it. My dad was my best friend, he passed away 5 years ago after a long battle with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He was a veteran, a father to the fatherless, a believer, my best friend, and a Beach Boys fanatic! Your song just dragged out so many happy memories of him that were tucked away, I cannot thank you enough.
Bob so sorry for your loss and your love for dad shows. Thanks for telling us about your father and your love for him!!!! I also want think you for your dad's service and God Bless!!!!
Darwin has become one of my favorite singers of F&F’s. Hid out behind that guitar for several vids and lately the cream has risen to the top in MBJ. There’s just so much talent in this group it’s crazy.
@Allan Charles I saw that video. Yep, Lorrie Morgan switched the lyrics around to fit a female singer. Not that it makes any difference to me. I personally like Maggie Adams version better. Not casting shade on a great singer like Lorrie. I just prefer Maggie's voice. I must have played F&F cover of Maggie singing Tom Petty's "American Girl" close to a hundred times so far. There are plenty of examples of female singers doing songs written for a male. Alyona Yarushina can knock out some great Led Zep, ACDC, Foreigner, etc. So can Samantha Fish. She can play the heck out of a guitar, sing and lead a three piece blues/rock band.
I am a die-hard BB fan...this has brought tears to my eyes....as long as there are people keep making tribute versions of great songs and of this perfection, the likes of Brian Wilson's songs as well as the Beach Boys will live on forever. Well done. You have made an old man VERY happy and so thankful that you have done this.
The amount of technical work alone that went into this warrants a ‘tip’, merch or download. The camara work and editing - syncing with the audio.., charting the harmonies, recording, mixing... This is a hard working bunch of artists. Appreciate you guys!
Maggie's voice is a melodious treasure ... I have not heard a more perfect female voice since Mama Cass Elliot or Karen Carpenter ... just love her voice on any of the F&F covers.
Enunciated phrases is exactly why I think these folks are so great. The great crooners were such because they focused on clean, clear, words n phrases. Crosby, Sinatra, Martin,.....
For three minutes and 29 seconds I was 17 again. No war, no virus, no unrest, no draft. You made an old woman smile and get teary eyed for what once was...and can never be again.
Back again - as I keep revisiting this recording - I am SO pleased that TH-cam led me to the Foxes and Fossils videos - I have probably listened to this one over 200 times now, and I always find something to amaze me.
January ‘22. Just did another listen. This one will have legs for years. To me, when great song selection meets great musicians, it’s pure magic. You nailed it on this one. Great job F&F! Keep those oldies coming… for me. :-)
I am completely blown away by their rendition of this song. I refuse to say 'cover'. For the 1st time in my 67 years I am speechless. F & F are outstanding to say the least. Continued success to you. Your talent is amazing. I am in awe. Other musicians should be also. WOW!
One thing about a F&F song: the sound quality is impeccable. Outside at a gig or in the studio, the sound is flawless. Then add the outstanding work of everyone together-wow!
So true. His engineering is as good as it gets. I would venture to say it's on a part level with historic engineers like Tom Dowd or Roy Halee. When the sound quality gets this good, the engineer becomes part of the band but, in this case, he IS a member of the band. LOL
@Just J "Back in the day" the Beach Boys didn't want the Dutch group the Buffoons as their support act during their European tour because they were afraid the Buffoons would outperform them. So much for irreplaceable.
Just one word: WOW! Maggie hits it right on the nose, and the instruments are good (drums are fantastic), but my delight is the background vocals!! Thanks so much for all your work.
What's really amazing is Chase could have had the lead and the backing harmonies would still be perfect with Maggie backing. Same with Sammie. They all just mix that way. That's why Maggie is my favorite, and Sammie is my favorite, and Chase is my favorite. But they all wouldn't do as well without the fabulous men of the Fossils.
I’ve been into cover bands since COVID. This band is among my handful of favorite bands. I especially like it when the lead is covered by the opposite sex. Gives you a real different perspective.
Still trying to figure you guys out. Perfect harmonies, perfect musicianship, incredible audio engineering and final mix, it would seem that what you're doing is impossible yet there it is. I often love your covers better than the originals.
I have listen to this at least 10 times. Discovering new nuances each time. The vocals and accompaniment are sublime. Maggie, your voice just gets sweeter and more magical with every new song. Thanks for my morning smiles
Born and raised in Southern California in the 60's and 70's where the Beach Boys were honored and adored. You guys did an awesome job that sent chills up my spine.
Wow. This is one hell of a cover of this absolute classic. So pleased to have stumbled across Foxes and Fossils! These guys just let the music weave it’s magic with their beautiful singing and musical skills. Great harmonies too. Brian Wilson would approve I think!
Brian Wilson has to be saying, “Thanks F & F for keeping the music alive.” Stellar back-up harmony ladies and gentlemen. Beautiful lead Maggie, as always.👍❤️🎼
A guitarist singer friend of mine, who spent a year or two touring with the Beach Boys & Brian said this: Wow! That’s a big surprise - so good! They did an amazing job on those harmonies, all great players too. Probably the best, most faithful cover I’ve heard of this song, not an easy tune. Awesome! Daniel Aranda.
@@lavmi79 I sent the song to Matthew Jordan who tours with Mike Love and Bruce Johnston's Beach Boys. He loved it. He sings it on tour.th-cam.com/video/Uw5zZMqrELM/w-d-xo.html
Well, that is one amazing cover! I love the song, but these guys sure know how to sing it. The lead singer is incredible and the backing singers really do make the whole song wonderful to listen to!
Another masterpiece from Foxes & Fossils - the best cover band EVER. I've heard it about 20 times now in the last 24 hours. Each time through I hear more details I missed earlier. This band always manages to pull off the impossible feat - true to the original, but not so slavishly following that it's a mere copy. There are always individual aspects to the song that are not apparent on the first playing. Not only do they get the overall feel of the song right, and true to the original, but with their own stamp on the song, but when you dig down into their arrangements, you hear every tiny detail is carefully set out to do the same - be true to the original yet still with some of their own personality in there.
Only heard this son from F and F...excellent coer. I will listen to their other covers they have out there. Maybe you know the Fendertones?...They are so spot on cover of the Beach Boys that the remaining guys sans Brian have visited them in Pa. and sang along with them on a few songs.. I have a feelingif you know F and F you know the Federtones however.
I’m a life-long Beach Boys fan and I now like your F&F version of this song better than theirs. So well done! Maggie is truly marvelous! ALL of the Foxes singing contributions are incredible! The Fossils just make everything so musically excellent on their end! Looking forward to many more F&F versions of our favorite songs! Thank you all very much!
My all time favorite song as performed by Foxes & Fossils is the absolute best cover of "Don't Worry Baby" !!! Way to go... great vocal lead & harmonies, fabulous dual lead guitars, killer bass, etc. Well performed and recorded. I first heard "Don't Worry Baby" playing on a jukebox during the Summer of 1966. I was 9 years old at Catalina Island, SoCal. I must have selected that song 1,000 times that Summer. Know I keep play your version over and over at home. Thanks so much Foxes & Fossils!!!!
I like to note that Don't Worry Baby was the B side of I Get Around. It wasn't played on the radio. It emerged as a classic out of it's pure beauty and emotional power. God bless Brian Wilson. Good job Foxes and Fossils.
Good point. Likewise, I suspect, were the treasures Surfer Girl, Be True to Your School, In My Room, and even the stalwart 409. Splendid work, F&F, as ever.
I have been listening to the Beach Boys and attending concerts my whole life.. This is the first time I ever heard you all sing anything, you all hit it on the mark, excellent, beautiful. Thank You for my listening enjoyment.
the leader who arranges the vocal harmonies... gets it. every song i listen too from this cover band is spot on. very tasteful. i go back to 'roll with it' . i loved her voice! who ever that was. smooth, yet rock and roll-ish ?
Amy Wallace with the Mustangs. Chase's high school music teacher. Tim and Scott heard/met Chase at a music revue they attended at the school, going in support of Amy.
th-cam.com/video/DkjFgO-v1O0/w-d-xo.html The song was written and arranged originally in 1964 by Brian Wilson. Many songs from that era sound old and dated. What makes this song different is that it transcends time and fits as well today as it did then. This arrangement by Tim Purcell is a fine tribute to Brian Wilson's genius. david
I love the Beach Boys and this is a great cover. It is extremely well done and just different enough so that it allows you to accept it almost as a different song. That is the key to great covers, especially of iconic songs performed by iconic performers.
First time I've heard these marvelous musicians and singers. They nail this song. Takes me back to a gentler time and great music. Beach boys are timeless !
Wonderful arrangement and fantastic job Maggie on the lead vocals. The harmonies are always incredible. A very appropriate song for a horrendous year! Keep it up Foxes and Fossil! We will make it together!
The term "cover band" is sometimes sneered at by folks, which until recently included me, until I stumbled onto F & F. I've heard the studio version of all these songs and love them, grew up with many of them. But to see and hear these superb performers doing it live, in the moment, sometimes on a deck outside a bar with traffic passing by is to me the purest awesomeness of performing talent. They might not have written these songs but they OWN them. Bravo Foxes and Fossils.
They sure do Chris and the men have great voices as well as great guitar playing. Beauty, and the beasts for sure with great music and all great looking. They play so well and the singing is outstanding. That beautiful one with the pony tail reminds me of the greatest girl I ever met living up north when younger. Wish I could go back in time and meet her. She has an incredible voice also. Ry C. Florida
@@Air_Devil_Leader_One Are you aware that when they first got onstage for their first gig, Tim introduced the band as the Beauties and the Beasties? Scott (on bass) called out from his side of the stage that he liked his name suggestion better. Tim repeated to the audience, "oh right, Foxes and Fossils". The girls looked at each other and giggled and agreed that that name worked, as a ripple of laughter rolled through the audience. A couple seconds later, Tim said "We have some ambitious songs for you, none more than this one. We're going to start right now. Ready?" And they launched into "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes". The whole conversation lasted maybe 30 seconds, and three and a half million people have seen the last five seconds of it.
Holy cow that is so perfect! I thought it was 1962 for a second! Great job guys! Just beautiful like the original- with a sunset, cool beach wind, a’57 Chevy by the beach, birds singing, everything is 16 years old forever!
Just keep coming back to this one.
So do i.
@@raybenstead2548 Me as well. Once every two weeks. Just amazing!

Oh my God… Every note every syllable every sound, perfect. I don’t know why I waited so long to listen to this one.

What a beautiful crystal clear voice that young lady has. And great harmony.
I love you all
and fantastic timing ,. .nailed it!
Oh I thought she was Lorrie Morgan.
Its always piercing and distinct.
Maggie absolutely nails lead vocal. The rest of the F&F’s do an outstanding job on backup. They made their cover their own. Superb!!! Great.
You can say that again
Tim: The ending was awesome. Prime example of everyone just enjoying what they do and not be so serious as well. Very refreshing.
I don't know, maybe fade like the original? C'mon, Tim, you do have the equipment for that.
That’s what makes this band so likable - they don’t have to be perfect every time!
Beatles style 7th or 11th?
Agreed....you can tell they each "Admire and Respect" what each one does for the song.. that is seen and felt
Born in 1950, grew up listening to the Beach Boys. Absolutely beautiful cover, got me crying tears of joy❤. Thank you!

Awesome job. You impress me every time you cover a song. I would rather listen to F&F’s version than the original artist in most cases.
Those harmonies are dead on gorgeous. Musicians sound incredible and Maggie...... WOW
I dont usually like covers much but this one was done perfectly. Very nice.

Cool! Thanks for sharing and please let us know if any of the other folks in the Beach Boys circle comment!
Was going to forward to you Larry, but I can see you’re on the ball already!
Very kind of you to share this.
@@lavmi79 I sent the song to Matthew Jordan who tours with Mike Love and Bruce Johnston's Beach Boys. He loved it. He sings it on tour.th-cam.com/video/Uw5zZMqrELM/w-d-xo.html
Mike Love. Smh
Well, that is one amazing cover! I love the song, but these guys sure know how to sing it. The lead singer is incredible and the backing singers really do make the whole song wonderful to listen to!
Lost count how many times I’ve seen this. Such a beautiful voice ❤ I’m a massive beach boy fan and you nailed this ❤
Maggie is always in motion to the rhythm and beat when she sings... heart, mind, and soul.
Your fans in Australia are again loving your vocal harmonies, you all star so well, the timber of Darwin's voice just amazing! Keep 'em coming.
Timbre .
One of the most powerfully rewarding things in music is to have a group of people achieve harmony like this.
Bloody marvellous! Those harmonies are exquisite and Maggie's voice so mellifluous! I love this group.
This rendition is just magical.
To hear those words so clearly is stunning, those lyrics are magical
love the arrangement and was blown away by the close harmony guitar fill
Another masterpiece from Foxes & Fossils - the best cover band EVER. I've heard it about 20 times now in the last 24 hours. Each time through I hear more details I missed earlier. This band always manages to pull off the impossible feat - true to the original, but not so slavishly following that it's a mere copy. There are always individual aspects to the song that are not apparent on the first playing. Not only do they get the overall feel of the song right, and true to the original, but with their own stamp on the song, but when you dig down into their arrangements, you hear every tiny detail is carefully set out to do the same - be true to the original yet still with some of their own personality in there.
Only heard this son from F and F...excellent coer. I will listen to their other covers they have out there. Maybe you know the Fendertones?...They are so spot on cover of the Beach Boys that the remaining guys sans Brian have visited them in Pa. and sang along with them on a few songs.. I have a feelingif you know F and F you know the Federtones however.
I’m a life-long Beach Boys fan and I now like your F&F version of this song better than theirs. So well done! Maggie is truly marvelous! ALL of the Foxes singing contributions are incredible! The Fossils just make everything so musically excellent on their end! Looking forward to many more F&F versions of our favorite songs! Thank you all very much!
still the best cover band in the whole world!
Absolutely fantastic 👏 Check out Lexington Lab Band also.
@@tombo54 Right. They are so damn good, too.
My all time favorite song as performed by Foxes & Fossils is the absolute best cover of "Don't Worry Baby" !!! Way to go... great vocal lead & harmonies, fabulous dual lead guitars, killer bass, etc. Well performed and recorded. I first heard "Don't Worry Baby" playing on a jukebox during the Summer of 1966. I was 9 years old at Catalina Island, SoCal. I must have selected that song 1,000 times that Summer. Know I keep play your version over and over at home. Thanks so much Foxes & Fossils!!!!
Wow....the harmonies are incredible and Maggie is pure talent !!! I think you made Brian Wilson smile !!
I like to note that Don't Worry Baby was the B side of I Get Around. It wasn't played on the radio. It emerged as a classic out of it's pure beauty and emotional power. God bless Brian Wilson. Good job Foxes and Fossils.
Good point. Likewise, I suspect, were the treasures Surfer Girl, Be True to Your School, In My Room, and even the stalwart 409.
Splendid work, F&F, as ever.
In Los Angeles, they played everything that the BB did, in heavy rotation, on KHJ, KRLA, and KFWB. I think F&F are channeling Brian.
I have been listening to the Beach Boys and attending concerts my whole life.. This is the first time I ever heard you all sing anything, you all hit it on the mark, excellent, beautiful. Thank You for my listening enjoyment.
the leader who arranges the vocal harmonies... gets it. every song i listen too from this cover band is spot on. very tasteful. i go back to 'roll with it' . i loved her voice! who ever that was. smooth, yet rock and roll-ish ?
Amy Wallace with the Mustangs. Chase's high school music teacher. Tim and Scott heard/met Chase at a music revue they attended at the school, going in support of Amy.
Love this group, The the vocal harmonies are off the chart! Excellent job all! Keep them coming.
Listening over and over, cannot stop. You guys deserve a Dutch royal medal.
Brian has to be proud! Can't think of anyone who has attempted their harmony and been this successful. Maggie, you're the best!!! Keep it comin".
th-cam.com/video/DkjFgO-v1O0/w-d-xo.html The song was written and arranged originally in 1964 by Brian Wilson. Many songs from that era sound old and dated. What makes this song different is that it transcends time and fits as well today as it did then. This arrangement by Tim Purcell is a fine tribute to Brian Wilson's genius.

👌👌👌👌First time I’ve heard F&F. Glad I have now! Brilliant one and all.👍👍👍
@@postholedigger8726 Spot on ... and everyone appeared to be enjoying doing this ... just brilliant!
I love the Beach Boys and this is a great cover. It is extremely well done and just different enough so that it allows you to accept it almost as a different song. That is the key to great covers, especially of iconic songs performed by iconic performers.
First time I've heard these marvelous musicians and singers. They nail this song. Takes me back to a gentler time and great music. Beach boys are timeless !

Holy smoke. Talk about an amazing voice. Could listen to this all day and never get tired of it
Wonderful arrangement and fantastic job Maggie on the lead vocals. The harmonies are always incredible. A very appropriate song for a horrendous year! Keep it up Foxes and Fossil! We will make it together!
This entire group is absolutely terrific. They put out A Fantastic sound. Keep up the good work.
The lead singer and background female singers have such mellifluous voices playing one of the greatest Beach Boys hits
Yes, but it would all sound like crap without the 2 guys.
@@RobertMacCready
I’m not so sure that it would sound like “crap”. Perhaps “not as full”.
The term "cover band" is sometimes sneered at by folks, which until recently included me, until I stumbled onto F & F. I've heard the studio version of all these songs and love them, grew up with many of them. But to see and hear these superb performers doing it live, in the moment, sometimes on a deck outside a bar with traffic passing by is to me the purest awesomeness of performing talent. They might not have written these songs but they OWN them. Bravo Foxes and Fossils.
original artists should be proud to have F&F cover their song
They sure do Chris and the men have great voices as well as great guitar playing. Beauty, and the beasts for sure with great music and all great looking. They play so well and the singing is outstanding. That beautiful one with the pony tail reminds me of the greatest girl I ever met living up north when younger. Wish I could go back in time and meet her. She has an incredible voice also. Ry C. Florida
Well said Chris I totally agree !
@@Air_Devil_Leader_One Are you aware that when they first got onstage for their first gig, Tim introduced the band as the Beauties and the Beasties? Scott (on bass) called out from his side of the stage that he liked his name suggestion better. Tim repeated to the audience, "oh right, Foxes and Fossils". The girls looked at each other and giggled and agreed that that name worked, as a ripple of laughter rolled through the audience. A couple seconds later, Tim said "We have some ambitious songs for you, none more than this one. We're going to start right now. Ready?" And they launched into "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes". The whole conversation lasted maybe 30 seconds, and three and a half million people have seen the last five seconds of it.
Hey! If yer gonna cover songs? Do it right! These kids do it right. *****
Maggie is an angel as we have come to expect. The surprise is Darwin, where did that base voice come from Sir? Absolutely outstanding!
Holy cow that is so perfect! I thought it was 1962 for a second! Great job guys! Just beautiful like the original- with a sunset, cool beach wind, a’57 Chevy by the beach, birds singing, everything is 16 years old forever!
