I appreciate this even more upon repeated listening- Maggie's vocal especially. The mandolin intro, the guitar solo, the way the drums kick in to enhance the beat, second verse on- that arrangement. Did I mention Maggies vocal? One of their best- and hers. Doesn't hurt that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are one of my favorite bands of all time, and unlike so many "Petty covers," this one does them justice.
In 1982 I was finishing grad school and fell in love and this song became a soundtrack for that year. Forty one years later we are still in love. Thanks, Tom Petty and thanks F&F.
Seek out the couple of videos on this channel that feature The Mustangs. Mostly the same band members. F&F was a side project that grew its own legs. Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" has two covers here, one by Sammie with F&F, the other by Amy Wallace with The Mustangs, recorded only weeks apart. There are photos of Amy with both or all three Foxes, depending on the year.
Absolutely NO ONE does it better than Foxes & Fossils. Every member of the band adds so much to the final product. And the WHOLE is a whole lot better than the sum of their parts. Love you guys and gals. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
I love Tom Petty, and I love Maggies voice. This brings me back to when Maggie sang "American Girl" at the Taco place. I cried when i saw Johnnie on the drums.
I'm a huge Tom Petty and the HB fan. You did this song justice and such a wonderful interpretation. Kudos to all of you, and Maggie - superb lead vocals. Brava!
Happy birthday Maggie! Beautiful song, & voice. Love the group give us another 30 years at least if my 67 year old @$$ can do it, as said in the South Y'all can?
Tom Petty's early songs are my favorites of his. "Refugee," "Don't Do me like that," "The Waiting." Oh, and "Stop Draggin my Heart Around" with Stevie.
I agree with Mr. Pike, no clunkers at all. Each song that you all record y'all add your own personal touch and the final product is very well done. Awesome job as always everybody.
Whew...the Foxes voices mix together so well. Music cannot sound any better than this, my friends! Mandolin was very good. Always good to see Toby in the mix on the guitar, too!
"When I was a kid, I was hopelessly smitten with Linda Ronstadt", and still am. F&F covers of Linda and Trio are super. Anything else of theirs they want to cover we would love.
I grew up listening to the best female singers- Dolly, Linda, Emmylou, later Martina and Sara but these gals on F&F are awesome. As great as the musicians are, the vocals shine. I wish I received guitar lessons from these gents when I was in HS. Fantastic job!
Just another fantastic cover by the best in the business. Maggie is so smooth and confident on lead vocals. When she, Sammi and Chase chime in on harmonies, the blend is magical. Kudos to a fine group of musicians, and of course, to Tim, for his seamless mix of all the voices, guitars, mandolin, keyboarding and drums. Gotta love this group. So darn professional, and it all looks effortless. Ain't no "clunkers" in this band!
Yeah, a Tom Petty song, love it. Would love to hear more of his tunes guys as he was an incredible composer, singer, and composer. If anyone else can pull it off it is Foxes and Fossils.
Another Fantastic Performance from everyone. What a beautiful rendition of this song. Maggie should sing lead on more songs. Wonderful Voice! It's such a Great song. God Bless You All for the Beautiful Music You All share with us.
Just stumbled across Linda’s version on TH-cam. Impressive, then I had to go back and listen to Maggie. Wow!!!! Not only does Maggie prove the equal of Linda, but the Fossils backup and the vocal harmonies of Chase and Sammie far exceed the quality of Linda’s original recording. F&F nails it once again!
Now if Linda had a back-up group with the electronic wizardry of the fossils and the same production and sound reproduction quality - she was singing with forty-year-old technology, after all - it might be possible to make a valid comparison. However ....... it helps to consider that this isn't a competition and never should be considered as such.
I keep coming back and listening to this again and again. Not only do I love this song and always love you all, it is so timely right now. I am waiting for this government to fall, and the waiting is the hardest part! Love your brother as yourself.
It just amazes me how Tim can put all these vocals and instruments together since they’re coming from four or five different locations and make it all sound like they’re all in the same room
Aah an old classic Tom Petty has a radio show. Tom Petty Treasure show. Oldies, great guitar greats and music he believes are unsung greats. Great job Foxes and Fossils. 👍👍👍👍👍
Maggie Voice is amazing on this song.She has this one down that enthusiasm the smile the Presence She truly made this one her own. as always the rest of the band harmonies musically right on. There is not a better band out there in my opinion touring or otherwise as a whole than this group right here.
The a capella purity and clean accoustic quality here makes me want to just hug Maggie and F&F!! Never loved anyones music more than than Tom Petty and company. So it goes with Tim and the Foxes & Fossils..everything just magic to the ear ❤
Once again for the record...when Maggie sings lead, she is my favorite...when Chase sings lead, she is my favorite...when Sammie sings, she is my favorite...and when Maggie sings....get my drift! They are all fantastic and don't EVER ask me to choose my favorite!
Maggie is consistently great singing lead- you hear a soul rather than merely a bunch of notes and harmonies. Amazing considering both the songwriters she’s covered and the vocalist she’s most often compared to- Linda. This is up there with Don’t Worry Baby, Harvest Moon, etc.
Happy Birthday Maggie! Love your voice as always. Not a big Tom Petty fan, but when you're singing lead, I listen!! Stay safe, stay healthy F&F! Love from Nashville!
If you have ever had the pleasure of seeing Linda live you can appreciate that she sang everything with all out conviction. Maggie has that! Right from the soul.
Maggie killed it. And I’m a real Petty purist. For some reason, I think I would have preferred a couple Fossils on backup vocals instead of or at least in addition, because I love Sammy’s vocals also. The band too played a great, inventive arrangement on this.
How can I comment anything but SUPERB!!!!! Once again and always, the production, the musicians, the singers, you guys my favorite group on YT, bar none!!!!!! I'm bummed that I can't make your concert.
Maggie sounds her best ever!
Maggie sings with so much energy and passion and yet she still sounds like silk. What a fine group of musicians!
Agree. Every song they do is incredible
Nailed it!
ditto
Yep. She’s got a beautiful tone and natural strength.
I appreciate this even more upon repeated listening- Maggie's vocal especially. The mandolin intro, the guitar solo, the way the drums kick in to enhance the beat, second verse on- that arrangement. Did I mention Maggies vocal? One of their best- and hers. Doesn't hurt that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are one of my favorite bands of all time, and unlike so many "Petty covers," this one does them justice.
Maggie on lead vocals always a hit
My favorite!
Great raw talent
Lets push this over 1M - I have my 200k in - let’s get going!!
So good to hear Maggie take the lead again. Great arrangement.
Delicious sound, rich and full of passion: satisfying 'til the last note.
In 1982 I was finishing grad school and fell in love and this song became a soundtrack for that year. Forty one years later we are still in love. Thanks, Tom Petty and thanks F&F.
Thanks Maggie. Your voice is beautiful…just like you are!
Maggie’s face says it all. She is having so much fun with this song.
Magnificent! Love it when Maggie belts one out, like she did with Can't Hurry Love and American Girl and Can't Let Go 🥰
I loved that. We don't get to see Maggie stretch out that often, but she has such a beautiful voice.
Maggie and that voice! So crisp and clear. Tones are all nailed to perfection. Sammie and Chase on backup make this another perfect cover!
Brings back old memories with both Tom & Linda and makes new memories …l thank you
At 355 comments I've only found one that mentions the excellent Darwin. His acoustic and lead playing were top notch. Great job F&F.
Such a GREAT solo! Go Darwin!!❤
Yeah, that was tasty!
All the girls of fox and fossils are first class and talented' they are one of the best cover bands.
And vocals
Listen to Darwin on lead vocals of "The Southern Cross". The man can do anything!
absolute perfection
The whole band is fantastic.
Agree. They are amazing
best cover band i have ever heard
Released just for my birthday , thanks guys and gals
I do believe Tom would be very impressed and honored by this ❤️
Who's Tom?
Tom Petty 😳 It's one of his songs.
Absolutely Tom would have loved it. That is what he grooved on was change and adaptation.
Oh yeah. I knew it was a Petty song. I thought you were mentioning someone having to do with F & F.
Great job Maggie.
Why am I thinking Maggie suggested this song lol That youngin has so much energy in this song. All the F&F's done excellent!
Wow, wow, and WOW.
We comment on the quality of the voices, but damn the musicians are top notch. Thanks to the whole band for sharing your talents with us.

OMG, what it does to me when Maggie-The-Nificent sings. The best "R's" everrr.🥰
Tim Purcell, the magic continues!!!
The waiting for the next F&F concert is the hardest part.
Excellent performance.
Maggie has the voice of an angel..
The way Maggie crushes never gets old. And the band and singers, too, impeccably stirring in my heart listening.
I have to add the “yeah yeah “ fill in response to that part every time!
I love Tom Petty, and I love Maggies voice. This brings me back to when Maggie sang "American Girl" at the Taco place. I cried when i saw Johnnie on the drums.
Every song they record is a winner.
wow...they never cease to amaze me. Just outstanding
I'm a huge Tom Petty and the HB fan. You did this song justice and such a wonderful interpretation. Kudos to all of you, and Maggie - superb lead vocals. Brava!
Have to agree with every word.
I'm a huge Linda Ronstadt fan - ditto.
Happy birthday Maggie! Beautiful song, & voice. Love the group give us another 30 years at least if my 67 year old @$$ can do it, as said in the South Y'all can?
That would make the Fossils somewhere between 92 and 104. I suppose it could happen.
What a nice surprise!!! Love it!
so much Talent with all these folks!!!
No klunkers (with the k)! Hahaha…😂 Perfectly done, great to get Maggie getting out front and center on it!!
I love F&F sound. from Sapporo Japan.
Reminds me of Maggie singing Petty's American Girl. I know he's looking down and smiling at this rendition of his song.
I like the fact that every word of the lyrics can be heard; great articulation.
Thata girl Maggie, Mr. Petty would be so proud. Nice mix Fossils
Such a good performance by all of em’, especially Maggie. Well done folks.
Maggie is awesome! Loved the guitar and mando parts but Maggie steals the show. She has a special gift.
Tom Petty's early songs are my favorites of his. "Refugee," "Don't Do me like that," "The Waiting."
Oh, and "Stop Draggin my Heart Around" with Stevie.
Maggie! Wow. I love your passion and enthusiasm. Very nice.
Maggie Maggie ur music still turning heads and back by Sammie & Chase u just can't beat that the guys sound perfect love u guys can't get enough
Maggie's voice is so lovely and pleasant to the ear. The music and harmony are also brilliant. Thank you for this wonderful cover.🎸🎵🎼
I agree with Johnny! "There were no clunkers, subdued, but very cool..." LOL! Stellar performance!!!
Maggie kicks butt on this tune. Everything is so tight. Background vocals and musicianship by all is superb. Wonderful!
I agree with Mr. Pike, no clunkers at all. Each song that you all record y'all add your own personal touch and the final product is very well done. Awesome job as always everybody.
Whew...the Foxes voices mix together so well. Music cannot sound any better than this, my friends! Mandolin was very good. Always good to see Toby in the mix on the guitar, too!
What an excellent version/interpretation of a great song. BRAVO!
And again we are taken back to stories that were written in song. It's great when Maggie lets herself go while singing a song.
MAGNIFICENT MAGGIE ! Sung with such feeling. More, more, more please!
When I was a kid, I was hopelessly smitten with Linda Ronstadt. Maggie brings it back. If you would do "Tracks Of My Tears", that would be sublime.
"When I was a kid, I was hopelessly smitten with Linda Ronstadt", and still am. F&F covers of Linda and Trio are super. Anything else of theirs they want to cover we would love.
I grew up listening to the best female singers- Dolly, Linda, Emmylou, later Martina and Sara but these gals on F&F are awesome. As great as the musicians are, the vocals shine. I wish I received guitar lessons from these gents when I was in HS. Fantastic job!
Maggie outdid herself with this number. Love her voice! Everyone was fantastic!

Ditto and 🙏 🙏 🙏 Amen 🙏
Tim knows he captured lightning in a bottle.
Excellent! Great job.👏👏👏
Great, greate verry great Jan from Holland

The incredible Darwin, three guitars at once! You are a fantastic musician!
I love when Maggie points during those high runs LOL. So cute, and so very cool! - Rob

Not only does Maggie prove the equal of Linda, but the Fossils backup and the vocal harmonies of Chase and Sammie far exceed the quality of Linda’s original recording. F&F nails it once again!
As someone else said, F and F don’t do covers, they do upgrades!
Now if Linda had a back-up group with the electronic wizardry of the fossils and the same production and sound reproduction quality - she was singing with forty-year-old technology, after all - it might be possible to make a valid comparison. However ....... it helps to consider that this isn't a competition and never should be considered as such.
@@jackdasef7367 WHEN YOU MAKE "beans & franks" the quality of the raw materials mean more than the chefs "cook stove"
!
It's easy to be smitten by Maggie. I like the picture in back of her.
Awesome, just awesome! Maggie on lead, with Sammi and Chase harmonizing, is perfect. And the old guys are great as usual too.
The day after my birthday, and day of Hurricane Ian thrashing my beloved Naples- this GEM brings great joy to me and many others. YAY.
F&F Always does a great job on all of their songs .
The Waiting…the hardest part is over! Love this!
Once again everybody at the top of their game, great cover
Chase backing is simply smooth
I keep coming back and listening to this again and again. Not only do I love this song and always love you all, it is so timely right now. I am waiting for this government to fall, and the waiting is the hardest part! Love your brother as yourself.

Aah an old classic
Tom Petty has a radio show.
Tom Petty Treasure show.
Oldies, great guitar greats and music he believes are unsung greats.
Great job Foxes and Fossils. 👍👍👍👍👍

once a generation a gorgeous female singer owns this song. Thanks F&F.
Wow! Beautifully done! I am a huge Tom Petty fan, really enjoyed it. Thank you!💚
Once again for the record...when Maggie sings lead, she is my favorite...when Chase sings lead, she is my favorite...when Sammie sings, she is my favorite...and when Maggie sings....get my drift! They are all fantastic and don't EVER ask me to choose my favorite!
3 Great female lead singers… what a treat!
@@RossBassKing Some of the fossils are pretty good too. :)
Baby, you said it all! Ain't we lucky?
Totally agree...all 3 women are exceptional talents, yet unique in their presentation and vocal range...love them all.
They are a sisterhood like never seen. And sometimes Tim or Darwin sing a lead too, and wowww! What can t these guys do??
Wow, Maggie looks and sounds great. Loved Darwin's brief guitar solo. Toby on the 12 string--beautiful. God I love F&F.
Absolute feel good perfection!!
Maggie Adams doing what she does best!! So great to hear that golden voice with a great song. She is a superstar. We need more of Maggie Adams!!
Belt it out Maggie. Great backup Foxes. Now the instrumentals from the Fossils. Wow! Great stuff! Thank you!!!
F&F so fun to listen to. Great cover band.
Beautiful voice Maggie. Wonderful performance
I just love the sleeping dog while the guitar plays!
Her name is Ava she’s not impressed 😂
@@RossBassKing Thank you Ross....she doesn't know what she is missing!
Tom Petty and the HBs are the best American rock band IMO. I miss them. Great tribute. Brings back memories
That was fantastic. Now we have to wait for the next Foxes and Fossils masterpiece (THAT is the hardest part).
No one does better Linda Ronstadt covers than Maggie. Her voice is perfect.
Maggie is consistently great singing lead- you hear a soul rather than merely a bunch of notes and harmonies. Amazing considering both the songwriters she’s covered and the vocalist she’s most often compared to- Linda. This is up there with Don’t Worry Baby, Harvest Moon, etc.
Happy Birthday Maggie! Love your voice as always. Not a big Tom Petty fan, but when you're singing lead, I listen!! Stay safe, stay healthy F&F! Love from Nashville!
another gem by all-MAGGIE SAMMIE CHASE -FANTASTIC MUSICIANS!!
May have commented before on this, but this is one of your best. I’ve now revisited it again. Glad I did.
If you have ever had the pleasure of seeing Linda live you can appreciate that she sang everything with all out conviction. Maggie has that! Right from the soul.
aww...absolute killer...one of those songs Maggie just hits on, and Chase filling in some tough harmony...beautiful
Don't forget sammie too.
@@davidvogel6359 nope, i never do

How can I comment anything but SUPERB!!!!! Once again and always, the production, the musicians, the singers, you guys my favorite group on YT, bar none!!!!!! I'm bummed that I can't make your concert.
I used to think this was a quite ordinary song, but this band, as always, elevates material to another level - actually several levels.
Great new one for the catalog. Yes, it does appear that Maggie is having a blast!
