Foxes & Fossils cover Helplessly Hoping by CSN | Two Old Unhinged Musicians React!
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.

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.

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.

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!
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!
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.
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!❤️❤️
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!

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.
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!
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!

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 KZread, I just keep coming back to them. Although I listen to all sorts of stuff on KZread, it's always pure joy to come back to Foxes and Fossils.
CSN will never be covered so marvelously! 😎✌️👍
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!
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!
whoever brought F&F to their attention, well done!
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.
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.
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!!!
Foxe and Fossils needs to be heard by all, they are amazing!
Been listening to these guys for quite a while and they never fail to impress. Father in the middle and daughter to his left.
I found Foxes and Fossils on You Tube about 5 years ago, and they still blow me away.
I think the first KZread 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!
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.
Found them on KZread and keep them playing all day. Thanks for including them on your show.
Just yesterday Foxes and Fossils recorded Angel From Montgomery as a tribute to John Prine. You will be amazed once again!
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.

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!!!
Beautiful... also so is Maggie.. love her.. Dan in fl..
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.
Thank you so much for reacting to this. I loved your heart felt, thoughtful comments. You made this F&F nerd’s day.
A big thank you once again for your review of this nearly perfect performance. You guys rock!

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.

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.
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 !
F&F are incredible. The cover that melts my heart is Tod Rudgren's Love is the Answer.
They're all about the love of the music, and it just rings through.
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.
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.
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.

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.
BEST COVER OF THAT SONG I'VE EVER, BEEN A CSN FOR 50 YEARS & MUSICIAN OF THAT ERA, HANDS DOWN.
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.

True confession regarding Sammi and a line from one of my own songs...I dreamed about that girl long before I saw her face
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 KZread, of course, but I can't remember the first reference of them). Amazing job, guys! Please keep safe, and keep rockin'!!! 🤘🤘🤘
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!
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.
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.
F&F should be playing at sold-out venues across the country, they are that good!
they all have a love for music that just shines out, its a wonderful thing.
All their stuff is spot on

F&F fan here for a while. Glad you guys highlighted them.
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.
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.
Love F&F. Been watching/listening since their beginning. Simply stunning covers!
Foxes and fossils are now one of my favorite groups. Everything about their music is wonderful. Especially enjoy their harmonies. God bless and take care from Patrick

They are a fantastic band! We've been watching them for a few years now on KZread and their standard is so high! It kills me to watch them doing these outdoor performances in front of audiences who have no idea how much work goes into such perfection! They deserve a captive audience - always!
Their music is so timeless and brings back so many memories. Everyone in this band are so good. 👍👍
Foxes and Fossils continue to capture the essence of the original song, overlaying their own beautiful harmonies. Just perfect.
Stumbled onto your F&F reactions the other day. Unbelievable! F&F are a hidden treasure...I feel like I struck gold within seconds of hearing them. Thank you so much for shedding the light on this great find. Can’t get enough of them.
F&F are amazing talent! Tim, lead singer and his daughter, Sammie is the blonde to his left. Maggie is the other young singer, also great talent. There's another girl singer, Chase. Their guitarists and drummer are great! Please do another review of one of their songs.
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.
I love F&F’s. I think they’re working on an online concert. I hope so. 🙂
As I said, love the covers, harmony, production, musicians! You have to start at the beginning listen to all their stuff.
They are recording together and sending out emails and making music and they are even more amazing than they were. Make them famous. They so deserve it. I LOVE THEM and I have heard a lotta music in 55 years. Look for their new stuff on the web guys.
I have been following this great band for quite some time now. I can't get enough of their performances. Greetings from the Netherlands
I'm sure they appreciate your channels review of F&F. Another outlet for those that have not discovered what an amazing group of talented people this band is. One song is all it takes to draw you into their grasp.
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.
I have been watching them for a few years now. Great harmony! Love them. Listen to telling me lies.
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'm sure, by now, you guys have been through many of their tunes... can't beat this bunch. What's interesting is the girls certainly didn't live during CSN times, but boy can they carry it. Then the fossils (either instrument OR voice) can adapt as easily to the the newer music.
This is my favorite of all the songs they do. Have to admit to playing many, many times! The harmonies are so smooooooooth
