- We just had to do another Foxes and Fossils reaction after we were blown away with their talent, and especially after getting tons of viewer requests for more from them! In this video, we react to Helplessly Hoping, one of our all-time favorite CSN songs.

@@lynwessel2471 Pretty damn cool and well deserved, huh Lyn!!!! Amazing how deeply they touch me and so many other people!!
Unhinged Reactions as an old rocker, it warms my heart to hear these young people sing these songs with passion and the “old guys” beaming with pride over these diamonds! So glad your paths have crossed!
I’m not surprised they have finally been discovered by the media .
As someone once wrote, discovering F&F is like finding a Rembrandt at a garage sale. Thanks for spreading the word on this group.
One of the great comments Hannah! And so appropriate with F&F. Have to admit, I've borrowed your comment and used it on other sites. Hope we don't owe you a royalty! LOL
The comment originated with @ Jennifer Small under the "Can't let Go" cover.
so true
@@lynwessel2471 Hello again, Lyn. Seems we share some obsessions.Here's my comment on this last "Unhinged" binge: "As a rocker (among other identities) since the mid-sixties, I would like to recommend to you (and all)
F&F's cover of the Mamas & Papas "Dedicated to the One I Love." (2019) It's a Beethoven's 9th, and I was never more than a "kinda" fan of the Mamas & Papas.

I have known Tim Purcell for 30 years I use to be the F.O.H. Engineer at Country Music Venue in Atlanta and Tim was the Lead Singer for the House Band that played when there was not a National Act playing and they were a really good Band but Foxes & Fossils is a Great Band and His Daughter Sammie has the Voice of an Angel. I am glad that Foxes & Fossils is back together after a hiatus and I look forward to hearing more of their Awesome Vocal Harmonies ! Thanks Tim and All of the Members of Foxes & Fossils.
Unhinged Reactions - Thank You for Your Awesome TH-cam Videos another Atlanta Band that You should check out is The Rock Mountain Band, they are a blend of Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead and Crosby, Stills & Nash they are on TH-cam and Reverb Nation. Keep On Cranking Them Out. Thanks, Keith
Unhinged Reactions - I also meant to ask You to Please check out 2 Sisters from Calhoun, Georgia that are Incredible - Larkin Poe Voices of Angel's & Superb Guitarist
So- you two have found the Foxes and Fossils wormhole.
Splungers try Hindley st country club, they are great also 👍
Tim Purcell's motto:"Never post anything that isn't better than what you've already done".Thanks guys,everything F&F does is up to these high standards.
I was blown away the first time I watched their performance: Outdoors, at a Taco Joint, with a parking lot and traffic streaming by in the background. Tim Purcell, Maggie Adams, and Sammi Purcell, aided by the rest of the band, made vocal magic. Both girls were teenagers, but sang like polished professionals. I hope Steve Stills has had the privilege of viewing this masterful gem. If not, he should.
I'm a huge F&F fan. They're the best band that the Mainstream has never heard.
Those guys and gals reduce me to tears every freakin’ time. I’m not kidding.
Ed not so much tears but hairs on back of neck, yes
@Fuzzy Butkus What Ed is talking about has nothing to do with sad.
Fuzzy Butkus have you never been overwhelmed by the beauty of something?
@@DutchStar443 I'm with you Ed.
Me too, brother. - Rutherford, age 67, Prague
this would be my 40th time listening to this....??? Our lips are sealed.. GoGo's They crush it!
jmpmusva Totally agree!! I like it better than The Go-Go’s version.
Our lips is my favourite by them...followed by American Girl
Try "Can't Hurry Love", similar and wonderful
As a HUGE F&F fan, it is easy to miss how REMARKABLY talented Tim is
As a musician who (for a time) earned a living playing music, and even experienced being part of writing and recording an actual vinyl album, the fun for me watching and listening to this band is paying attention to just how good they ALL are. As someone on YT once said about them, "There are no passengers in this band." No one is being carried or pulled along by the rest. Think about that!
From a singer’s perspective, it doesn’t matter what age you are, when you’re a singer and you get to sing this beautiful song (written with superb harmonies), and sing it with pitch perfect singers (even better pitch perfect family members), it’s the best feeling in the world!!!! Trust me, I sing a Capella with my three daughters, we’ve done Helplessly Hoping and my husband cries every time we sing. My 14 year old is drawn to a lot of music from the 60’s and 70’s because they were great songs back then. That’s why I think the Foxes love this song.
F&F are amazing! Such clean vocals, such precise instrumentation, and all with a mini-mall parking lot and highway in the background, while they take up 4 tables' worth of the patio dining area! I mean, they don't _look_ like someone from whom you'd expect that professional-level, rich, faithful-to-the-original cover. Tim (in the middle) looks like your primary care physician, breezing into the exam room in lab coat, scrubs and sneakers telling you with a brisk tone and smile, "OK, Mr Parrish, we got your results back, everything's looking good!" Some of the other Fossils look like somebody's Uncle Earl, lately retired from the railroad. The Foxes, at least in the years shown in this video and the previous one, just look like typical high school girls dressed up for a school dance, and you'd expect no sounds to be emerging from them other than pointless giggling to each other about some inside joke, usually involving a boy. No way they'd be up there flawlessly belting out harmonies of songs decades older than they are! And with the light bobbing and serious, cooly-pleased glances at each other, like professional singers keeping the rhythm, casually leaning into the mic at just the precise second to deliver the well-rehearsed handful of notes called for at that point. Then they lean back, expressions of seasoned pros resting on their young faces, still bobbing, waiting for their next turn. Just another night on stage, like generations of vocalists before them, paying their dues out on the road. Amazing!
I am always amazed every time I watch this that there are people sitting there eating and talking, seemingly not paying attention! I would be sitting there with my elbows on my knees, and my mouth hanging open!
CSN will never be covered so marvelously! 😎✌️👍
Not to push the envelope but you should react to their newest cover which they had to fight with TH-cam to get posted, "Seven Bridges Road".
Each night before I go to bed I grab my phone and earphones and get my daily dose of Foxes and Fossils! A day without the Foxes and Fossils is like a day without sunshine!❤️❤️
I found this band less than a year ago, I immediately regreted not knowing about them a decade ago. I would have traveled to see them live. I hope I get that chance someday!
I’ve heard endless praise for Foxes and Fossils.
It’s ridiculous how much praise is lavished on them.
But regardless of what anyone says. They deserve
every bit of it.
So glad you guys are seeing and talking about F and F!! Try the Landslide video next, and the new Dedicated to the One You Love as well! Both are soooooo wonderful!! Thanks for reviewing the group!
Once again, thanks from their fans! They are such a rare collection of dedicated and talented musicians. Yes, they deliver with a dedication and feeling for the music. Harmony is pitch-perfect, as you point out. I hope they look back fondly with love upon the moments in their lives when they recorded these. They gave a beautiful gift to all of us. Love ya Sammie, Maggie, Tim, and all the guys in the band!
They are incredible
I am so glad to see this band getting some much deserved recognition.
Foxes and Fossils are out of Smyrna, Georgia, not far from me, but I didn't discover them until the girls were away at college. Therefore, I never got to see them live. Since stumbling on them on TH-cam, I just keep coming back to them. Although I listen to all sorts of stuff on TH-cam, it's always pure joy to come back to Foxes and Fossils.
Imagine they are performing this caliber of music at a strip mall, passing around the bucket for change.
Isn't that ridiculous?....For the love of the game!
The bucket was for contributions to the girls college fund.
They haven't mentioned these girls were ..15 ..when they did the CNS cover and just about 17 for this one.... Their voices hit Synchronicity.
whoever brought F&F to their attention, well done!
I think the first TH-cam video of theirs I saw was Amie - Pure Prarie League, and after that, I was totally hooked. They choose songs you can tell they love, and the love for those songs shows in the professionalism of their performances. How many hours must they practice to get these songs down so perfectly in live performances? That is what gets me. Yes, they're just a cover band, but their song choices and talent make them so much more. If you're looking for another one of theirs to review, I think you'll like their Amie performance as much as I did.
P.S.
And they're like Lays potato chips. You can't just listen to one!
I found Foxes and Fossils on You Tube about 5 years ago, and they still blow me away.
Foxe and Fossils needs to be heard by all, they are amazing!
I've followed F&F for about a year now and I always amazed by thier talent and spot on harmonizing. As soon as you think you have a favorite vocal as far as the girls go, you'll hear another song that the other just nails it. Sammie, Maggie and Chase are just awesome!!!
Just yesterday Foxes and Fossils recorded Angel From Montgomery as a tribute to John Prine. You will be amazed once again!
I’m first generation to CSN (and Y). I vividly remember hearing “Carry On” from “Déjà Vu” whilst in a nightclub on a skiing holiday in early 1970. But, Foxes and Fossils are the BEST. You guys have so much more to discover. I’ve been a fan of Foxes and Fossils for several years now and they are ADDICTIVE. Their new stuff is AMAZING. Check out “Dedicated to the One I Love” a very recent release which is more than brilliantly sublime in every way.
joel spencer They are addictive I listen to them every single day.
This band have time travelled from the 1960 s and 70 s when music and artists had natural talent emotion and a sense of spirituality to their performances .
Found them on TH-cam and keep them playing all day. Thanks for including them on your show.
Looks like I started something. I've seen all of these before and they are amazing. So glad you guys are enjoying Foxes and Fossils as much as their dedicated fans. Great job guys!
@ Scott - yeah you started something :) the followers follow... no matter what. It's incredible what F&F have done.
Good lookin our Scott :)
Please listen to “Harvest Moon”
Yes they do an awesome version...
Agreed. It's a gem.
My favorite, Harvest Moon
Absolutely
Mark King Harvest Moon is new and amazing with Maggie singing lead!
If you guys care to do one more from F&F you've got to check out their cover of Monday Monday. The background vocals on the original song are just amazing. And these girls from F&F just knock it out of the park. Absolutely incredible.
I too found F&F a few weeks ago and their CSNY songs are spot on. I am also from the hippie era and have always loved all kinds of different music genres except maybe rap. I always say if you can’t hum it then it’s not music. Lol Still I’ve been buzzing thru all F&F songs the last few weeks. Sorta a trip down memory lane.
F&F are my favorite group!! Honestly! Been listening to them for several years and I never get tired of hearing them! Wish they were preforming full time again but glad they are back doing some!!!
True confession regarding Sammi and a line from one of my own songs...I dreamed about that girl long before I saw her face
You gotta hear "Barton Hollow", "We Gotta Get You A Woman", and "Love Is The Answer". Perfection!
I discovered this magnificent band years ago and I have never stopped playing their videos. I get goosebumps when I hear this song.
Thank you, guys!!! I'm a "quite new" Foxes And Fossils' fan from Brazil, I don't remember how exactly I discover them (it was by the TH-cam, of course, but I can't remember the first reference of them).
Amazing job, guys! Please keep safe, and keep rockin'!!! 🤘🤘🤘
they all have a love for music that just shines out, its a wonderful thing.
This is an incredible performance. It sounds crazy, but I think this is the best performance of this song that exists. I prefer it to even CSN's own performances. The subtle details in the girl's harmonics are just exquisite.
. . . second that.
….third it
They're all about the love of the music, and it just rings through.
Beautiful... also so is Maggie.. love her.. Dan in fl..
Foxes and Fossils are an incredibly talented band that do covers across all generations. I would love to catch a live concert. They are talking about doing a possible 1 time concert to be recorded and posting it at a sight. Let's hope !
The challenge for you guys, and I stumbled onto your Podcasts when you were reviewed Sweet Judy blue eyes, is that you could spend day after day commenting on each one their songs. Each one, in it’s own way, is remarkable. I’m like you, love music, love rock ‘n’ roll, but I’ve never heard anything quite like this band.
@Thomas. It’s “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes”
Their cover of "When you say nothing at all " is one of my favorites !
A big thank you once again for your review of this nearly perfect performance. You guys rock!
Been listening to these guys for quite a while and they never fail to impress. Father in the middle and daughter to his left.
As good as this harmony is, it was only the best until yesterday. Then F & F dropped 7 Bridges Road. The angels stopped to listen.
I stumbled across F&F a few days ago and I cannot get enough. Just simply amazing individually and as a whole, so much talent. 😊
I discovered F&F a few months ago and quickly went through all their videos. There’s nothing this band can’t cover.
the night I stumbled on this group I LISTENED TO THEM FOUR SEVERAL HOURS....glad you have found them...enjoy
Love F&F. Been watching/listening since their beginning. Simply stunning covers!
For those of us who have followed F& F glad they are getting more appreciation
Their harmony is world class
Second the suggestion of Landslide
They should be famous!
F&F are incredible. The cover that melts my heart is Tod Rudgren's Love is the Answer.
As I said, love the covers, harmony, production, musicians! You have to start at the beginning listen to all their stuff.
BEST COVER OF THAT SONG I'VE EVER, BEEN A CSN FOR 50 YEARS & MUSICIAN OF THAT ERA, HANDS DOWN.
I agree, they could be performing in a stadium. I mentioned once before that all they need is an original hit song and I could see the full stadium thing, after the world gets back to normal of course. Great job reviewing them guys.
F&F is the best cover band I have ever heard. Their harmonies are as perfect as anyone could get.
F&F CSN covers touch your heart so deeply and take us back to this incredible music era. I feel so calm and satisfied inside after hearing them. I can see it touches you in the same way. We grew up with such incredible music and it’s great to hear F&Fs appreciation of it. Thank you for sharing this.
Glad you enjoyed it like we did! Thanks for watching🤘
This is another one of my favourite F & F songs that I have listened to many, many times. So glad that are spreading the word on this amazing group. Thank you for the review :-) Another one of their (many) amazing songs is 'I'm with the Band' which I would love you to review.
I am glad you guys are enjoying what I have been blessed to listen to for a while now. This group is truly special.
I love this band so much. I just found them about 2 months ago. I must have listened to Judy Blue Eyes about 250-300 times (sometimes, 10 or more times in a row). They give me chills. What also tugs at the strings is watching someone else discover them and get joy from them. I loves seeing your reactions, and I really like that the songs you reviewed meant something great to you. That added to my enjoyment.
You will not find a better band then Foxes and Fossils! I found them little over 2 years ago when I was going through a cancer operation and fell in love with these fine folks! Their music helped me in so many ways during my recovery. I started playing their CD's while out tending to my garden and I could swear I seen my mater and pepper plants swaying to the beat. Just does not get any better then this!
50 years on, this music still brings a tear to this grumpy old man's eye; so many good memories of those days. Thanks again.
They do a cover of The Eagles; "7 Bridges Road". Again, the vocals are pitch perfect! They are amazing! There is one part where father and daughter sing the same part together and it sounds like one voice! Makes the hair stand up on my arms!
Our favorite group on YT. We’ve got to get them on stage. The best!
I love their cover of "Can't Let Go" by Linda Ronstadt
That is Maggie and Sammie at their best!
@@HannahKulik Ikr so good
DITTO!
@@HannahKulik Yes it is Hannah.
I prefer F&F to Linda Ronstadt's version myself, but I like the Hollies' the best here. So much energy and Graham Nash's high harmonies will pin your ears back; some of his best vocal work imo.
I am a first generation CSN fan. Found Foxes and Fossils by accident on TH-cam and fell in love with their music. Brings back a lot of memories. Nice to know that people from within the music profession appreciate them too.
Absolutely, flooded with memories. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching🤘
Could you imagine sitting down for dinner at the twisted taco and this band starts playing 😃
I'd throw my taco on the floor.
@@rutherfordhaze I would kill to have been there. The frustration is... I live in ATL and didn't find out about them until they stopped performing. Thank goodness they get together to record.
One more for you to check out - Strawberry Wine hits the right notes but also captures the vibe of the song perfectly with a young girl singing such a personal story song. Big F & F fan.
This is the one!!!! Just just beautiful.....
ANY TIME and I mean ANY TIME you review an F & F video, I will be SOOOOOO there!! Warms my heart to see you guys doing this!!
I've been a F&F fan for a couple years now and I'm never not blown away... their newest stuff with Chase, a third Fox is incredible as well...
Yup
F&F version of Royals is excellent
Foxes and Fossils continue to capture the essence of the original song, overlaying their own beautiful harmonies. Just perfect.
If your looking for more they absolutely nailed, head for 'Seven Bridges Road'.
As well as the amazing vocals, there is a fantastic set of musicians backing them,
Tim Purcell (Sammie's Father) seems to be the one pulling them all together.
They are hoping to arrange an online concert in the near future. Let's hope the musical magic continues for some time.
I love F&F’s. I think they’re working on an online concert. I hope so. 🙂
That performance is pure and perfect just beautiful
F&F should be playing at sold-out venues across the country, they are that good!
What gives me goosebumps and pleasure is watching you guys enjoy them as much as we fans do. Thanks again Unhinged Reactions!
tions.
That's the whole idea, and thank YOU for watching!🤘
All their stuff is spot on
I found them by accident, they are so brilliant, love listening to these guys.
Me too!
Thank you so much for reacting to this. I loved your heart felt, thoughtful comments. You made this F&F nerd’s day.
They are amazing! I have a giant playlist of their stuff. The best...as they sing in taco restaurant parking lots.
Glad you guys are recognizing this band, they truly respect the songs they sing
Man F and F are great , they should be on national tv
FYI - F&F recently started recording again after a multi-year hiatus. Check out their new covers of Seven Bridges Road and Dedicated to the One I Love.
I assumed y'all would find this one. They're F ing great aren't they. Harvest Moon is one of they're newer recordings. I couldn't tell you how many times I've played their Helplessly Hoping. They're guitar player is fricking phenomenal also. I'm glad you're enjoying them guys.
I am a HUGE Foxes and Fossils fan and I am SO glad you two found them and are spreading the word. I have done my best in my little world to introduce my friends to F&F and listen to them over and over on TH-cam as well as their CDs in my car, I just wish there was MORE F&F!!! Tim will even answer emails....at least he has mine when I have a question.
Rolling in the Deep, Nobody Love....well worth reviewing
You have to see /hear ' Dedicated to the one I love'
YES!!!
They are this good singing outside at a Mexican restaurant. Just imagine what they could do and where they could go!
Thanks for listening to this mix. I really enjoy your show. They do some great MAMAS& PAPAS covers.
Coherent review, fantastic group, one of the best songs. After a bit of contemplating, I have deduced CSN had five voices. Three human, two Martin guitars. By that standard, Foxes and Fossils had only four voices. Three human, shy 1 guitar. That being said, the harmony of F&F has to be the most note perfect, insofar as paying homage to a song, I've ever heard. Absolutely outstanding.
I've followed the group since I ran across Suite Judy Blue Eyes and lifted my jaw from the top of my computer desk. I've yet to hear a badly performed song from Tim, clan and friends. They are much appreciated in today's world. RIP Scott.
As a music lover from the 60's to the present Foxes and Fossils are one of mu favorite groups. Keep singing and bringing a smile to our faces in these trying times.
Foxes and Fossils are amazing. I found them on TH-cam about four years ago and they blew me away. And they just keep getting better. I love their choice of songs and the way they perform them. I keep looking forward to each new release. It all starts with Tim and Sammie. WHAT'S NEXT?
FOXES AND FOSSILS HAS JUST POSTED THEIR COVER OF SEVEN BRIDGES ROAD. In case anyone over here might be interested.
