Wooden Ships (Crosby, Stills, and Nash)

F & F really raised the bar with Wooden Ships!!!❤

Seriously, what a perfect rendition of this song. Keep making music, amazing voices, harmony, musicians! Thanks for this bright spot in our world…

You are really showing your age, Boomer! I’ve never heard of this song! I prefer more newer and popular songs. They are incredibly talented musicians, though and I love them.

Yeah, and they might also want to work up the Airplane version since they definitely have the voices...

[@NealBraverman.]

My Dear F&F’s this is Such an Inspiring cover of this Wonderful song! I am certain that if CS&N were to hear this you would get their staunch Approval! Thanks so much for sharing this with your Global Audiences! Neal from Boston, Ma. :)) 🎤🎶🎸🎹🎆👍🌈☮️

[@podcowboy914]

Standing watch on the signal bridge of a US Destroyer on a Med cruise during wartime. We had 2 cassettes and this was one of them. Stopped counting how many times we had to rewind that cassette with a pencil. Sailing the Mediterranean at night with that song in the background will leave an impression on you. This was awesome guys. Thanks

Goose bumps...what a cover of one of the greatest bands and one their best songs...KUDOs!!!!

[@TedBear1954]

Stunning rendition of the song. Well done all.

[@elfwyatt]

Wow! That's the best version of Wooden Ships I've heard in 54 years! Well done!

[@danoblue]

It's nice to hear this excellent rendition of a David Crosby song. He may have been a problematic person, but he wrote some fine songs and created new music even until his death. The band, as usual, turns in a flawless performance.

[@randy.canman]

That was f#!^$'n awesome.

[@Bbeatle1]

Absolutely magnificent!!! Everything about this performance is perfection!! Bravo!!!

[@kenf5189]

Thanks!

[@smitty9522]

Well.....I just listened to this song twice, back to back....I had the pleasure of knowing David Crosby personally....He loved when other artists covered their songs...always lent an enthusiastic ear to 'covers' of their songs...I would expect that he is looking down and giving full approval to this version. You can hear Paul Kantner's contributions as well as Stephen Stills'. Your interpretation of the song has the proper homage to the original as well as very tasteful amount of artistic license...I am so impressed. Thank you!! I'd love to sit in.....

[@podcowboy914]

It takes a tremendous amount of planning and work to make these videos. Thats why we love the Foxes and Fossils

[@briankiely2347]

What’s fantastic about Foxes and Fossils is how they capture the sound of the 60’s,70’s & early 80’s when music was produced with real live musicians and vocals. Nothing can compare to this sound, because it’s a real full sound. The blend of exquisite vocals and exceptional instrumental play…adds up to perfection. Well done F&F!

[@alanlevin3003]

I will second this. ALSO, in our current politically FRAUGHT country, the idea of leaving the mess sounds like a good idea!

[@MrFluffyalan]

Spot all you say, but dont forget they are playing some up to date music all be it in possibly a 60's 70's style

[@WanCesar1]

I’ve run out of superlatives for F&F. Superb on every level. You have played a classic with excellent musicianship and great heart. Congratulations!

[@jackprice7828]

Excellent job! on a very difficult song. Not many can pull that one off.

[@jagrell]

Greatest cover band in the galaxy.

[@markj.williams844]

ok, I have admired you guys for years. But you have outdone yourselves. It captured the elan of CSNY. The guitar work was superb. Great tone. Wonderful vocals and harmonies fading in and out. You guys are the kings and queens of covers. I’d love to take a master class from you on recording techniques. I stand in awe.

[@juligo27]

On ferme les yeux , et on écoute . Leurs reprises de CSNY sont les meilleurs et de loin sur youtube. Merci à Eux

[@rocketpost1]

Superb song and magnificent cover. I shed a tear for times long gone when the girls' harmonies came in. I was moved and just for a few seconds, a young man again.

[@holisecleveland2859]

At 77 years old I have many groups that I love however for the past several years since i started following F&F you have become my all-time favorites. Fantastic as usual!

[@mbt1955]

If you like the band, Chicago, check out Leonid & Friends, all Russians that perfectly cover them. You'll be amazed.

[@yodservant]

​@@mbt1955yes they are fantastic 🤩

[@WoefulMinion]

Breathtaking. What a remarkable performance. Especially liked Toby's sensitive playing and tone and Johnny's making some challenging drumming seem effortless.

[@carlbradley4872]

Just when we think F&F can't outdo themselves, they outdo themselves. EPIC! Wonderful.

[@chrisgraham9203]

For a brief and brilliant moment, you were the song. All of you. And that is all I could have asked for..

[@dnmurphy48]

beautifully put.

[@bobhinley5410]

First of all it’s a great song. Second it was well replicated. Nice job.

[@bobhinley5410]

Best song you ever replicated.

[@MikeDuckwall]

Foxes and Fossils, I don't believe I've ever heard this song before. But, regardless, it was absolutely beautiful! Very good! 👍🏼

[@bradlyscotunes9156]

Crosby, Stills, & Nash classic! It'll sound almost this good..😊

[@elliotgoldberg5657]

Letter perfect mix and performance. Love how the two Fossils did the Crosby and Stills lead vocals and the Foxes effectively did the CSN backups. Chilling and effective 👌

[@georgemm5]

I always loved this song. I sailed a fair amount and the metaphor resonates. This is another fantastic performance by F&F; musicianship, vocal blends and production. Thank you very much.

[@paulzimmerman6182]

Might be the best yet, in a series of incredible performances,....and that is saying something. Every time I listen to you guys I want to say thank you for letting us hear you play and sing.

[@skipmessier765]

Overall personally I feel this is the best F & F cover they’ve done and they’ve done some great ones. On this one everyone seems especially locked in. Vocals are tight and the guitar solo totally on point. Carry on !

[@scottbreseke716]

Johnny Pike's drumming really shines on this one. 🥁

[@ObservingtheObvious]

Love Johnny pikes drum work. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@dnmurphy48]

It's great but its the guitar work really creates the atmosphere; Tim's voice is second to none.

[@MrFluffyalan]

Yes I have to agree, the drumming is just right, I would love to see F&F live but sadly living in the UK dont think its going to happen any day soon

[@markbaustian9503]

F & F is a great band! The have been following them for years. They never let you down.

[@dougwaterman1534]

Johnny and Rick do an awesome job keeping things on track. I miss Scott, but Rick is really good.

[@BrianKiddDevDesign]

You guys are great. This is a really thoughtful and accurate cover, with your own very tasteful nuances added.

Damn, ya'll killed that harmony part at 3:05. Hit it right on the proverbial nose. Well done, indeed.

[@lynwessel2471]

It started out nearly 15 years ago as a father/daughter and friends project. Played a half dozen gigs a year while the girls were still around. Quit playing in 2017 as the youngest headed for college. KZbin views picked up and they started doing studio recordings in 2019 and continue posting one a month. Hit the F&F logo to go to their list of well over 100 great music videos.

[@BarneyDavey]

1969, stationed at Camp McCoy. We'd sneak into the photo lab, where we had a stereo set up, and listen to this album, Jefferson Airplane, The Rolling Stones, Sly, Jimi, and King Crimson. This song caught the zeitgeist. Concerned, confused, stoned, idealistic, and still hopeful even though the Vietnam War, the '68 convention, Kent State, and more made it feel like the world gone mad. Six decades later, I hear this recreated lovingly and gloriously. And just like 60 years ago, we are all in deep water... and I'm still hopeful today. Hearing this puts me in a good space. Your taste, talent, and perfection are exquisite, and we are blessed by them.

Been watching and listening for a long time and always come out in the end opining that the vocals are the best. Not this time. This time the Fossils playing the instruments win the day. Great vocals and great harmonies but this for me is the best instrumentation I have ever heard them do. Toby's runs are magical. I never thought they could do better than they did covering Carry On. They just did.

[@lindaleary3019]

Thanks for continuing to amaze us with your voices!

[@45156]

Absolutely stunning from the fossils here, on a very difficult song, with superb musicianship, arrangement and production - and the foxes added a lot with their harmonies. Keep them coming.

I discovered your band totally by accident. I am absolutely blown away! I've been a guitarist for over 50 years, and appreciate great sound. I watched one clip, then all of them, and was hooked.
