It's been said before, but "Sammie could harmonize with a chain saw!" But with this crew, It's pure magic.

[@lynwessel2471]

Maggie became engaged to long time boyfriend Luke Preston in December . Luke is a Nashville songwriter and musician (and all around good guy, I hear) she met at Belmont University. Maggie is the marketing manager at the Basement East music venue in Nashville. Luke writes for country artist Elvie Shane and others,see Elvie's music video My Boy here on KZbin. The guy playing the truck driver is Luke. (Got a haircut since, lol)

I've been in a stupor for five minutes. I saw this listed and, although it is practically a fool-proof song for most singers, Maggie, Sammie and Chase--with Tim & the Fossils--have set a bar too high for many.. I listened to this twice and when I quit gushing with my keyboard, I am going to make it three. Life can be ugly; let's celebrate it when it fans out like a damn peacock.

[@TheGeonam]

I have been retired for years but still work six days a week in my at home machine shop, welding etc. For myself I need a good song to lift my sprits to meet each day. I have always gotten that daily kick start from F&F. Thank you so much. God bless

[@edhastie6074]

One of my all time favorite songs. When I’m alone in the car and I sing along, I sing the harmony part. This is Maggie’s very best performance, spectacular.

[@richiet3841]

Its Angelic. If anyone, anywhere is upset, anxious or concerned about anything, just sit back, close your eyes and drink in the soothing, sweet, exquisite voice of Maggie Adams!! Great interpretation of a classic.

I wasn't sure if I liked this arrangement, with a little more "swing" in the beat. But when those backing vocals in the "middle 8" around 0:52... holy cow... and then at 1:08 when they change from ooh to "ahhh" yikes, I was sold. It gives the whole song such a wonderful feeling up "air" and "opening" up.. Besides being great singers, whoever arranged the vocals is a real smarty. What a beautiful sound!

[@lynwessel2471]

[@StuartMStrickland]

@@Venetiababy1 They have a few. "The Road to Forever" is on their website, and a clip is in a video they posted here in April 2020. Tim has shared a few others on the Patreon site. Another that isn't quite F&F but Tim wrote and Maggie sang, "Life Never Looked So Good", shows what could happen.

Big Everly Brothers fan here and never thought anyone could sing their songs. Tells you what I know. Outstanding job F&F.

[@Republicanmouse]

I rarely watch America Idol, not usually that impressed. But years ago I caught an early episode and watched that entire season. The reason: a young woman stunned me with her beautiful voice. My wife got tired of hearing me say that not only would she win, but she would be a star. That young woman was Carrie Underwood. Not since that time has any singer or group affected me like that...until I found Foxes and Fossils. Maggie, Sammie, and Chase are like finding 3 superstars in one group, each with the exceptional voice and passionate delivery of an international superstar. The Fossils provide exceptional accompaniment to this outstanding singing talent. I still hope one day to see a live performance, but I consider it a blessing anytime they share their exceptional talent with us in any form.
