Piano Man by Billy Joel (Cover) - Foxes & Fossils

[@mkkravist11]

Mr Joel would be proud of this absolute belter of a tune!! You guys rock!

[@falconalley7228]

So refreshing to see old timers render old time favourites…

[@dougsalzmann2752]

OMG! On one of the Mustangs videos, a commenter asked, "Is there anything Tim Purcell can't sing?" No, there is not. Tim can sing anything -- and crush it. For the zillionth time: thanks, guys! We are so unbelievably lucky to have you making music for us.

[@mybuck4]

I've just discovered this group, and I agree. I don't think there is anything Tim can't sing.

So true 😱

[@lobrow67]

The key part of the lyrics are "Man what are you doing here" ...These folks deserve a larger audience than a shopping mall...Tim was so extraordinary with both vocal and piano work...covering Billy Joel is difficult..I am so pleased every time I see something new from this group...Like opening a precious gift....Thank you so much....

[@lynwessel2471]

They have a worldwide audience. Over a million veiws per month. Comments from fans in about 40 countries.

[@beverlywalsh3869]

They definitely deserve so much more recognition, they are so incredibly talented & are very dedicated to bringing their perfection to every song they cover! They're so inspirational & really show their commitment in providing everyone who has discovered them a sense of their love & friendship & teamwork, always something new & enjoyable to look forward to!! The Very Best Band I've ever listened to! They keep bringing me back to their beautiful sounds each & every day! 😊

the piano man has a VOICE to die for

[@PedroSanchez-mh5my]

Outstanding. Can listen to their music all day long. They are extremely good.

I see at least one Fox :)

[@yomismo9533]

You're definitely right, it's just, I mean not just but a special group, "Unique" is one word to describe them.

[@georgealexander8661]

Amen, brother MARK HARMON! 🤩🙏🙏👏👏👏

[@quickdeuce]

Easy, listen to their music, click the 'LIKE", go to their webpage and click that PayPal tab to happily share some of our cash to help them continue sharing their incredible talents with us. As Tim has shared it is very difficult for the group to create music for our enjoyment since they're spread among 5 states and the money just will not support the group plus all the equipment. Besides the Foxes are just now at an age they'll b starting their own familys. Hit that TIP folks!

[@merlepatterson]

This is so organic one can't decipher exactly where and the moment when the nutrients absorb into the sunflower roots. It all blends into reality and magic.

[@wfoguy]

I just saw 3 friends perform who appear to respect each other and enjoy the fruits of their labor immensely. The song was better than I expected but the grins and smiles were the best part. :)

[@MrFloydSaunders]

kb450div4 so true! That’s make listening and watch this group so much fun, they are all just enjoying each other and the music. No egos. Nobody trying to be a star because they just shine individually and as a group.

[@ashleyfearon4121]

If perfection on the ear for a cover version exists, then this is a contender. Magnificent vocals and keyboard with a superb duo backing band. Oh yes, the live recording and sound mix is rather sublime. Nothing but praise from me.

[@ronpacheco8818]

I'm almost embarrassed to say this, but Tim's vocals brought tears to my eyes on this one.

[@joetownsend-]

Michael Cavanaugh, who played Billy Joel on Broadway, does good covers of Billy Joel songs too. I think that this cover is great too though.

[@harleydavidsonmobile6284]

You got that right! I have been a musician since 1969 and this is one of the best cover bands I have ever heard or seen if not the best!

[@MR.CHarming-i5x]

As an old middle aged man now who was a kid when this came out years ago will say this . This is the best cover of Piano man I have ever heard . The guy singing is beyond talented why he does not have a recording contract is beyond me and the band is very talented . As a musician myself who once played alot my theory is you know a singer is good when they sing a cover like this of piano man and not once did I think of Billy Joel . In fact this guy does the song so well I would rather hear his version . A very talented guy my hats off to you sir . A classic one of the great songs and a favorite of mine my hats off to you great job on it . Thanks for sharing the video . May Jesus bless each of you and your band .

That’s something to be very proud of and something money can’t buy ! Maybe you should be on the world stage , but your exactly where God wants you and touching hearts with your music everyday and no matter what stage your on - Doesn’t get any better than that ! Amazing !

Tim has been blessed by God with a beautiful voice that serves him well even in his more mature years. Many of us can sing when young and then loose it with age. Absolutely sensational work as always Tim.

[@markies5411]

I bet the girls loved watching this, they are so good. The whole band/group of musicians/singers are so talented. I’ve loved following you from the UK. My son lives in the USA and when this COVID thing is better I will visit again and would love to you see you all if you do concerts. Love from the UK.

[@RicSeabergsUseful-Information]

Being able to sing octaves with power is a wonderful blessing

[@CalJennings]

Yes, he's great! I used to be able to sing octaves until I pulled out my vocal cords while under anesthesia. They weren't giving me enough oxygen for me to be able to breathe so I yanked out the breathing tube, taking part of my vocal cords with it.

[@Blazingflashover]

Of course this is absolutely awesome.

[@judyblueyes1275]

Man this guy got some pipes!!!!!!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯 I LOOOOOVE it!!!! Verrrrry talented guys!!✌️💜☮️💜

[@frankieleftwich5310]

Love this guy, what a pianist!!

[@lynwessel2471]

Tim refused to take lessons as a kid. As a young adult he found a group looking for a vocalist /keyboard player. They asked " can you play?" "Sure". Then he ran home , taught himself a few cords for the next gig and became a pianist.40+ years later a pretty darn good one.

Not flashy or a show-off, just incredibly, wonderfully steady.

[@carefulpilgrim]

Actually I thought it was the piano holding it all together, and very well!

[@betterwhmcsstaff1838]

Would love to agree, and in a sense still do, but the drums are dubbed over sadly... See my other comment on this video. I'm pretty shook honestly, makes me wonder what else is dubbed over.

[@edjmcc1958]

So well done..as with every song they do..first heard this group a month ago, and watch some of their videos every evening.

[@billycremin9189]

One thing I've learned from watching and listening to Foxes and Fossils is that they don't take on anything unless they can do it justice, and boy, do they do Piano Man justice. One of my alltime favourite songs. Tim, that was fantastic.

[@haroldmiller9942]

This brings back many good memories, saw Billy Joel perform it, back in 1974 when he was playing college seney awesome performance by Tim, John and Darwin, thank you.

Now THIS captures the spirit of the original. Well done! Again, like Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, I think it is vital the singer is also playing the piano as you do here. It's what the song is all about, that the singer as also the piano man is a unique talent.

[@bleebls1934]
