Thank You all for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed this one. Although I grew up a Southern Rock influenced guitarist (besides Beatles, and Classic,Symphonic Rock, of course) I think I am just a Balladeer at heart. That is where I am very comfortable. Here's to a better, healthy and safe 2021. Thanks for listening to us, F and F, and everything inbetween!
Thank *you*, Darwin. Your work is a gift to all of us. (But we do try to give back via the tip jar, the merch purchases, etc.) And this one is just really, really special!
Darwin I have been a F&F fan for a couple of years and always came back for the great harmonies from the Foxes. However, ever since this video came out, I start my F&F binge right here. I hope we can hear more from you in the future
Love your voice man!
Darwin, that was just damned impressive!
Darwin: I am 62 and grew up listening to Gordon Lightfoot sing this classic song, my Mom is 85 and also loves Gordon Lightfoot. When I stumbled across you singing this I was instantly transported back to the late 70's/early 80's. When I shared it w/my Mom... your singing brought tears to her eyes. We have compared your easy, mellow style of singing to Glen Yarbrough, who was a wonderful balladeer until he retired. We both think you are incredibly talented and as a guitar player myself, I absolutely love your instrumental riffs in the middle of this song. Please consider recording more ballads like this one... as lead singer for F&F. You are the reason that I explored F&F and became a huge fan forever. Thank YOU!
Darwin is a dear friend and colleague, and he just nails this.. And not to take anything away from him, but take a moment and notice Johnny playing bass, with kick and hats going at the same time. And Tim nailing the rhythm backing and harmonies perfectly.
This band is full of such amazing musicianship.
They really are amazing!! That Bass is so good!! I saw Gordon for the first time during his tour for “Summertime Dream” and it struck me then and the many times after what an amazing sound he and the band had! They replicate that really well!!
So impressed!!❤️
That was one of the first things I noticed. He kept the beat steady on both the kick drum and the hats.
What brand guitar is Darwin playing?
This is the first time I've heard Darwin sing solo. He is always a part of the back up singers doing harmony. Darwin you have a beautiful voice. You guys are amazing...the Foxes too.
and the guitar!
Every member is a top notch talent.
Smooth ❤
Check out Darwin doing southern cross...I think it is better than the original
Rest in peace to the late great Gordon Lightfoot. A Canadian treasure that you guys so beautifully honoured in this unbelievably beautiful rendition.
Today we lost Gordon Lightfoot, may he rest in peace while his music lives on. Thanks F & F for this tribute to Gordon.
I would pay money to sit and listen to these guys even if the foxes aren’t there. So much more talent than that new age crap! Cheers.
Of course, I will pay money or tomatoes right now to spent live time with them. Lol, the Ladies are like flowers that sprang up from a rich fertile soil of talent, adding a wonderful fragrance to a garden of handmade music. Having an offspring to teach and to help carry forward a treasure of musical genetics would seem to be a man's summit in life. Lol But all I continue to see are more and more dynamics created by that Father of that Lady that has become so brillent with her hard work. 😏
@@dennisrocker Nice compliment there
Exactly
Great!
Just hit the tip jar. Would love to see them in person.
As I revisit this CZcams page and performance, I want to reiterate my appreciation for all of the kind words and comments re: 'Early Mornin' Rain'. As I previously mentioned, a lifetime of Music, mostly in the Southern Rock genre, has led me to the awareness and knowledge that as I've aged, so has my style changed.(in a positive way, and I hope you all agree)
These days I'm more of a Wandering ('Wondering') Minstrel.
And I'm ok with that and hope you all are too.
THANKS VERY MUCH!
As long as the Minstrel wanders over to Tim's house now and then we'll all be very ok with it!
Yes, you are wandering but you have stayed true to your roots.
This song done by the wandering musician is real nice. I think what happens is we begin to mellow as we grow older, changing music style and choices not a bad thing at all.
I just noticed this post. I only have one thing to say, Darwin: Thank you so very much for the musical gifts you give us.
Darwin, more of a "Gypsy Song Man"
Gordon Lightfoot would be proud....lovely version.
I hope so. Gordon is one of my Musical Heroes

Let's give a shout out to Tim for how outstanding the sound quality and mixing are on the F&F videos.
@webdaddy / The video soundtrack is taken directly from the mixer board (Behringer X32) into Cubase, which explains a lot...
OUTSTANDING MIXING... TIM It beggars belief how you get studio quality sound at outdoors gigs like this... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Maybe you could do a quick video on this for us fans at some stage...
I remembering wondering to myself in the early days if the F&F weren’t a big dubbing fake, the quality of the outdoor gigs is so good. 😊
I,m ALWAYS in for a big thumbs up for the sound engineer. Usually first one there and last to leave. Great mix Tim.
Doug Godbold is the band's live sound engineer. Tim produces the final mix for release.
As a young Second Lieutenant, I sat in the waiting room at the airport at Ft. Dix, New Jersey, one cold, dark morning in February 1971, and watched a long line of even younger soldiers slowly working their way out the door toward the aircraft waiting to take them to Viet Nam. This song and also "Leavin' On A Jet Plane" both played at one point or another. The expressions on their faces were so sad that It was almost more than I could bear to see. I was on my way to Germany. Lucky me. Damned lucky. 24 months later, I got to come home alive and in one piece. I still wonder how many of those young men I watched that day didn't.
dude, great story, you make the USA proud
I have to agree with you about back in the days of Vietnam. I went over in 1968 just in time for the Tet offense. I was with the 4th infantry division located in the central highlands. On February 5th my birthday we lost eight guys from my company clearing the NVA out of the city of Kontum . Later in April we got our ass kicked at a place called Chu Moor Mountain. Every time I hear this song it makes me reflect back to Vietnam and the thoughts we all had while serving there and being trapped over there. I would do it all again for the right cause. Last but not least I have come to be a big fan of F&F. and this guy not only sings great but can play the hell out of his guitar. Thank you so much for the music and memories. I am U.S. Army Retired MOPH.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your services...and theirs as well!
@@TheGeonam thanks for your service
I'm closing in on 70yrs old and I wanted to tell you guys I simply can't get enough! I sit on the couch with my tablet and headphones and play your music over and over. Im fortunate to have stumbled on your work! Thank you!
I just hit 70 in December '20 and have been a Gordon Lightfoot fan since 1966. This cover is the BEST I've ever heard. Al three musicians - and I use the term properly - are incrediby talented. I'm now a fan forever.
i have the rest of my life to do something with it. thanks Fossils for taking us with u in this endless journey called The Lines of Life.
And here I thought I was the only one doing this! 😁
You are like me Joe, nearing 70, tablet headphones and F&F, small scotch. Life is still good!,,
Just a 68 year old kid, but sure love Gordon’s songs and always have. Darwin and the band aced this one as they always do. I’d love to hear them do more Lightfoot. Love that Rainsong , Darwin! I’ve got the SG shorty.
That man can sing!!! love that voice. And I am blown away by his guitar playing!!!!!!!!
Have you heard and seen Darwin on the first song of the first set of the first public performance by Foxes and fossils ever?
czcams.com/video/S23VK1v9dB8/video.html
ThanYou for your kind complime Sir
The Foxes all have voices of angels but the guys are damn good also, that is what makes their harmonies so fantastic. Huge fan
That's part of what makes them so good! Classic Rock artists and the younger voices with great harmonies! Love Gordon Lightfoot, and this is really good!
Jes, me too!
The thing that gets me?
Most the folks watching this group, and the girls when they on stage, don't realize the greatness they are watching.
I have always felt that same exact feeling
Until they start performing.
You're spot on. There certainly is a tremendous amount of talent in that group. No matter what lineup is playing!
So very true!!
Maybe the F&F our Happy just doing what they Do, But If they have an Agent maybe they they should get a Super Agent to take them to the Top into Major Concerts! No reason why they cant Open for a Big Name Act in a Big venue after Covid. But One thing I'm Good at with Music, is Listening!!!
This brings sunshine to my Scottish ears...Perfection!
This performance is my absolute favorite cover of this song, past and present!
Frickin' Pros make it look so easy, don't they?? Absolutely... First Rate.
scottski51 you nailed it. Their fantastic. Should be much better known and exposed.
Tim's almost constant smile during this song says a lot about his love for his old friend, Darwin, and his love for what he is doing. This is what makes a great performance- musicians who love each other and what they are doing.
Yeah... there are some groups where that mutual love & admiration really shines through and it makes the experience all the better. Darwin, Johnny, Tim: You guys are exceptionally gifted and seasoned artists.
I’m Canadian too and have seen Gordon Lightfoot in concert a few times. I think Gordon would definitely approve of this version of his song. Well done gentlemen.👍👍
R.I.P Gordon Lightfoot. I've tried to find performances that pay the best kind of tribute to him, but I just keep coing back to this one.
If you haven't check out Ian and Sylvia's version, it's worth a listen. czcams.com/video/FyhZXdJ_4l0/video.html - as is Eva Cassidy's - czcams.com/video/P9U_g7ftEyk/video.html
What a beautiful voice, I could listen to him forever ...
yes totally! plus off the charts fantastic guitarist
I don't think I've ever seen anyone playing drums with their feet while playing a bass with their hands. Way to go, Johnny!
@Jack Sparrow / He’s doing the same on the “Landslide” and “Ho Hey” videos...
@@John_Hazeldene: Yup. Johnny has been practicing this feat for a while. It definitely is not easy.
That was one of the first things I noticed. Great stuff!!
That's why his wife loves him!
He's a groovin... Got the high hat and the bass drum. Way too much to think about... got to just feel it and try to sit in the pocket.
I first commented 7 months ago on this cover of Gordon Lightfoots’ song. I have never posted a second comment ever. I have been a F&F fan for many years. I have to admit there is something special about this cover song. Maybe it’s the way Darwin, Tim and Johnny just blend their talents so seamlessly. I find I keep revisiting this video because I so enjoy Darwin’s version, even better than the original. Those ladies are mighty sweet and sing like angels, but when I hear this song I say get those talented fossils in more of these type songs out there on video.
I have to agree. Make me want to visit more often. Have Darwin over for dinner. 😊
Same here - I was about to write a second comment (I guess I just did). I always loved this song but Dar gives it something down to earth and really special. I listen to this about once a day.
I very much enjoy listening to you sing, Darwin. I'm 68 and somehow this just suits me. Thank you.
On November 7, 1989 I became sober. And on that day I listened to Gordon Lightfoot's rendition of this song for the entire day... from waking up to going to sleep. I set the CD player to repeat and hung on for dear life. It did the job. There but for the grace of God, that would have been me in the early morning rain.
Proud for you man
So proud of you! Stay safe and well!
fknA dude!!!!!
Way to go and GOOD LUCK....... ALWAYS!
Darwin does such a beautiful job. The feeling he puts into this song sounds like he’s actually sitting in the early morning rain with a dollar in his hand.
How did Darwin's music evolve?
He has a great voice. Tim harmony perfect!
@@michaelburman9705 See his post above...
Just one more reason F&F are so damn good.
I was born in Detroit, and lived nearby until 12. My father was a part-time musician and played Lightfoot all the time in bars and conferences. I started playing this song when I was 10. Such an impression; I actually could play every song on his first three records. Still play "Oh Linda" which he didn't write but did a haunting version of. When I play it in public they go, :"that was cool, WTF did that come from?". Exactly.
A quartet of three. One of the best covers of this Lightfoot classic.
I almost feel guilty for adding my two cents here, but I was one of the lucky group that got to witness this event in person. I had just gotten out of the hospital from major surgery , and to say the evening of pure joy and great music was a gift would be a gross under statement. Sorry most of you only get to hear this short excerpt from a wonderful experience, It was just what an old man needed. A great big thanks to all the F&F. (Including the pretty ones)
oops should have been a reply
Lucky John! And don't worry, only a few thousand of us are *already* deeply jealous. 😉
Glad you still here to hear it and stay safe young man!!! Such wonderful music of our youth and do think this is better than the original! ❤️👍🏻☮️🤘🏻❤️🙋🏼♀️
Just the tonic you needed, music is food for the soul, especially when played like this.
Glad u Are Out of Hospital. Be Well.! GOD BLESS.!
I so love Darwin's voice , not to mention his superb guitar work.
Red Shea would be proud as should be LIghtfoot.
ThankYOU very much, Rocky
I have watched this song a million times awesome .thats it
Grew up right down Stewart Ave. from Y'all. Went to St. Johns Church and graduated From Sylvan HS in 66. Ate at Bill's, Old Hickory and of course the Dwarf House. A great song bringing back lots of memories. Well done by all!
FYI, that brick building in the background is where Tim and Darwin went to high school. At that time it was Hapeville High School. It's an elementary school now. Tim quarterbacked the football team and he and Darwin were playing together back then as well. Annnnddddd a very special thank you to Darwin for serving as my best man last Saturday when I married my new wifey Heidi!
Yeah, so it’s facetiously funny that Tim says at the end “I’ve never heard of it before .... best kept secret in Atlanta”! I’ve been there on a trip to visit the former Fujicolor Processing Plant - don’t think it’s still around, but it must have been a major employer there. I was once a trainer for FUJIFILM, USA.
@@davidjohnston710 Thanks for the colour. 😎
Need to get the Fossils on the Hapeville High Wikipedia notables list. Jeff Foxworthy needs company.
Congratulations Paul and Heidi!
Congratulations to you and Heidi :)
Let’s hear it for the Fossils! Great job guys.
Yes, that was superb. But now we need a song with just the Foxes.
Next song up features Maggie back on lead vocals...
Dogs couple of old guys like me..
Got back from Vietnam, sat at pub in Aggieville in Manhattan Ks. Drinking 3.2 beer listening to this song...
Tears running my face....
Still touches my spirit..
Mr. Conort, I grew up listening to Gordon Lightfoot and have long loved his music and his voice. But your voice is superior to Mr. Lightfoot's on this song. So very well done, Sir!
Greetings from Metro Detroit!
Darwin is a cross between smooth voiced Glen Campbell and Willy Nelson. The best of both
hear willie nelson clearly
Love his guitar playing also. Hear a touch of Jerry Garcia (check out 3:25 -- )
@@maryrigotti2924 Indeed I hear it too
Blue Sky Flyer that’s saying a lot about his talent, but I can’t disagree.
Yes!
The talent bench strength of this group astounds.
Yup. If they were a baseball team, they'd be able to send a couple of starters on world cruises and still win the Series every year.
Nice cover, brings back a whole era when I cutting my guitar teeth as the "folk revival" happened. Thanks, I enjoyed it.
Legend has it that Gordon Lightfoot wrote this song in Goose Bay Labrador , a military town in the north of my home province. This, I think, is my favourite version outside of the original recording by Mr. Lightfoot himself. Well done gentlemen
Darwin .. stands in the background for 20 years .. and He can sing like Willie!!! Plays like anyone !!! Like the Best! Sings the Same! Salute Dar!!! L U !!
I was thinking Willie also. But richer. Just beautiful.
@@frankjones4550 Thanks 4 That! They Killed this song... and wow Can Dar play the G ? God Bless my friends playing on the 4 th!
@frankjones4550 Thanks 4 That! They Killed this song... and wow Can Dar play the G ? God Bless my friends playing on the 4 th!
Dar wasnt with F&F from 2011 - late 2019 except 2 shows that he subbed for Toby. He had always been active solo and in other groups.
simply takes this Gordon Lightfoot classic to another level.... MY WORD !!
this is my opportunity to express my appreciation of the Fossils
all talented musicians
all able to impress and surprise
hey you old geezers
i've listened to music all my life
my mother has a photo of me opening a gift of a record player at age 4
on the back she wrote "how did he know what it was?"
how incredibly improbably as far as backporch musicians and professional musicians go
to meld the way you guys are able
egos at the door
and a lot of compassion and understanding and respect
misunderstanding and love
disagreements arguments
for sure
but you guys never come across
as impossible to each other
to coin a phrase
which is touchingly apropos
you guys ROCK
you take my heart back to me
it must be such a kick to take a song you listened to on vinyl with your friends
and finally find a bunch of guys who not only can do it as well as you
but still want to and will find the time
and i won't say anything about your love and support of the upcoming generation of artists
known as the foxes
oops
This song never gets old. The talent on that stage is amazing!!!!
Yes
What a beautiful rendition of Early Morning Rain, well done Darwin, Thank you to all you fossils, nice work..
Holy moly... These "Fossils Only" tunes are outstanding! Darwin's singing and vocal tone are just beautiful and so gentle and comforting, and then he picks a lead guitar part that is just spectacular. What talent. Not even mentioning Johnny playing bass and drums simultaneously. Once again, great job guys!
You guys are amazing. My first time to hear you on you tube and im stuck to it just listening to your wonderful brand of music.
Yeah, that's impressive doing the bass drum and high hat while playing the bass guitar. That has to be hard.
I have always loved Gordon Lightfoot's story songs, like "Song for a Winter's Night" or "Canadian Railroad Trilogy." I am happy to hear that Darwin and F&F love Gordon too, and have produced a terrific new version. I have enjoyed F&F music so much lately(especially "the Waiting"), that it is time to hit the tip jar so they can keep making great music!
Excellent. I would like to hear a Fossil rendition of Lightfoot's "Sun Down" - might include the Foxes 😊
I don't think I've come across such a brilliant and versatile group of musicians since the Eagles. Just like the Eagles the musical chemistry works sublimely too.
Sammie , so nice to see you , you're beautiful as ever , so you getting ready to go back to campus to finish your Master Degree. Sammie be safe if you do, love ya girl💜💋🤗.
Tim the 3 of you guys sound fantastic as per usual, can't wait to hear more , the best independent group I have listened to, Foxes and Fossils, completely the best. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💜🎸🎙🎼👍👍👍☮😎👏👏👏
Listening again and again, music is music. Thank you F&F
That is a beautiful rendition of a pretty song. Hidden point of pride: a wonderful song from Canada being played excellently on our great neighbor's Independence Day.
Fabulous song! Darwin has the perfect voice and the guitar licks to cover this song beautifully.
In love with Darwin. His voice curls around your soul and takes you on a willing journey. His quiet, humble demeanor sets the stage for the great impact of his coaxing voice and amazing guitar skills. What a treasure...
Best cut on Early Morning Rain I have ever heard. It don't get no better than this.
Love seeing johnny "help me help me" pike playing bass and drums at the same time - always keeping the beat and rythym going!
Hope for better days for humanity. Love from 🇨🇦 Canada ❤️
Darwin, You should be Awarded a Grammy for this Performance! Phenomenal!
I had the immense pleasure of watching Gordon sing this on a BBC radio programme called 'Folk on Friday'...probably on the same show as Julie Felix. Magnificent!
Now we know, without the Foxes around, who's been pulling of those terrific harmonies. wtg Tim..
ntm A kick drum, hi-hat and the bass guitar all by one man. Fabulous effort guys, and you make it sound so easy, as the good ones do..
Darwin is absolutely awesome with vocals and musicianship!
Not much music gives me chills and/or brings me to tears...but yours? Exquisite!
Tim is so great! Says the town is the best kept secret in Atlanta; he and Darwin went to High School in the building behind them!!
Ahhhh, this is like my 5 time watching/listening to this over the last few months and I only just realized the bass player is simultaneously the drummer! Awesome!
Actually the drummer playing bass.
Dude plays like Gordon Lightfoot and sings a little like Willie Nelson..
Loved it! ..great job!
And once again Darwin demonstrates why its well worth keeping him around. Great voice and wonderful guitar work as usual, and always a special treat to listen to one of those Darwin solos. Had no idea Johnny plays bass - AND plays drums at the same time!
See the "Hey Ho" cover.
Well, maybe not at the SAME time, lol.
I always suspected true drummers have an extra set of hands.
@@c.a.rankin7426 One of the few I havent seen because i dont care for the song, lol
Johnny is also an accomplished guitar player. The living room of his house is loaded with instruments. He also plays the keyboards from time to time, so does Darwin.
Darwin does a wonderful job of Gordon's song. His fingerpicking style fits the song nicely. His voice compliments the lyrics perfect. Great job! Like to hear more stuff like this from him.😊
-and women say men can't multitask?! I think that drummer-bass-player did quite well. Beautiful song btw.👏🙏❤🌿🌞
Darwin has a great voice!! Have him do some more lead singing/solos!! Yee haw!! Great band!!!!
I’d love to see Darwin do a solo album of songs like this. I think it would be a blessing to all those who spend a lot of time traveling on the road to be able to pop in a cd and relax to his soft and smooth voice.
How did it evolve?
I'm Canadian, so I've listened to a fair bit of Gordon Lightfoot, attended his concerts over decades, heard many of my contemporaries cover him. This rendition is as faithful to the spirit of the song as any I've heard.
Nice job on the vocal, Darwin, and the lead was simply outstanding. And Johnny Pike, the one-man rhythm section, really kept the feel of the song in a nice pocket. This is really fun to listen to.
Yep grate song Elvis Presley recorded it and made Gordon a lot of money
@@jgatkinson744 The Presley version isn't bad, but the bluegrass instrumentation clashes a bit with the airport lyrics, IMO. I like Darwin's better.
Actually, this is much more like Peter, Paul and Mary's cover than Gord's original.
@@robertsadler1766 Depending on what you're listening to. In the original version, the guitar is strummed. I much prefer Darwin's Travis picking. The vocal at times is reminiscent of Willie Nelson. I don't know, did Willie ever cover this?
ThankYou
This is a much better rendition than the one Darwin did recently. It has a certain quality of simplicity and closeness that the other doesn't have. He really captured the whole essence of the message in this one. As close to perfect as anyone can ever do.
Love this song, I used to sing it with my brother, he left me to sing it in a different Plain of existence, I know he still sings and writes. Hello Hapeville Ga , live up in Gainesville most of my young adulthood. Enjoyed this very much, brought tears and memories.
Ironic to play a Canadian icon's song for your July 4th ... As a Canadian , I approve!!
Hell of a singer !!
Isn't he? Darwin Conort is a man of many talents. Have you heard him on guitar and the Stephen Stills vocals on "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes?" It's something completely different:
czcams.com/video/S23VK1v9dB8/video.html
I'll check it out Doug thanks
I have listened to this countless times. Love his voice. Just a suggestion, “Gentle On My Mind” with harmony from the girls would be incredible. It is one of the most covered songs ever. Please consider this request. Thanks
The great elderly gentleman who sings in Early Morning Rain is a wonderful guitar player and sings so great. He has a wonderful vloice and plays so well. He is really wonderful singing this great song. Thank you so much for your effort here kind gent. Ray C. Florida
Just slightly "elderly" at about 64 years old. Darwin Conort is his name and yes he did a wonderful job singing this.
Tim's a year older.
Best version of Early Morning Rain I have ever heard including Peter Paul & Mary and Elvis. Fantastic job! Thank You.
I Think Elvis did "Kentucky Rain" But I'm not a Big Elvis Fan. Of Course, Elvis has done Everything..Twice!!
Best Version is by Gordon Lightfoot....
Sounds heavily influenced by the Ian & Sylvia version - similar licks, some of the same word changes ...
I agree.
I agree but when you get a chance you should take a listen to Bobby Bares version too.
Just donated $100 to you guys. This is the best song only upstaged by Judy Blue Eyes which you carried as well!!! You are all so good and have provided so much enjoyment to me and my family.
Pure excellence is all I can say and that from a musco that's been gigging nearly 50 years.
Darwin's got a great feel for this Gordon Lightfoot song! I'm pretty sure Gordon has listened to this from Heaven's Carefree Highway and appreciated it. God Bless Gordon (RIP) and God Bless Darwin!
Beautiful performance. I'm really impressed with Johnny playing bass and drums at the same time! So crazy much talent in this group.
Good God Almighty, that was great. One on my favorite songs, mainly because my father played it a million times on our old cheap stereo. Darwin did a great job on that on vocals and guitar. Tim's background singing game it depth. If the "crisii," ever ends I'm coming to Hapeville or where ever to see yall. That's a great deal of talent on that stage. Everybody be well and be safe.
The pride of Orillia Ontario, Gordon is a Canadian icon and a true gentleman.
So very sweet. Makes my heart smile.
Tim is an awesome multi-talented architect of F&F but also a band member/leader of the Mustangs and is the production genius of video/audio .. Darwin has always had focus on music but also had a day job career too .. this video makes it clear what leads the F&F Band and it's stunning to watch them give selflessly the front credit to each of the foxes in their own way .. they're family without ego dividing them .. and a musical group that are beyond pro .. they are a unique production factory of music industry masters that are not controlled by the music industry .. thanks to all of them
Great job gentlemen.
I would be honored if you guys would watch my CZcams video.
Jerry Ruffino Solo.
Same type of music 🎶 you play.
Keep up the great work guys.
AMEN!!!! 👍🏻☮️🤘🏻❤️
Very well said, I love the real people of this world, they excel way beyond those that achieve "fame".
Fossils turning back time with some Gordon Lightfoot! Wonderful performance, and it sounded amazing!👏👏🙏🎶
Great vocal and the usual terrific music. Thanks Darwin.
It's two in the morning. Fighting back a pain of love in the heart. The voice is as Lightfoot as ever. And too the the unforgettable combination of alone & song & nothing better. Thank you. It was a long time coming but it was I who wasn't there. God bless.
I like this rendition the best of any other rendition of this song. Darwin, Johnny and Tim did a marvelous job of a great classic song.
performed with such depth and graciousness....he makes it his own
In the 3 years since this rendition was released, I revisit it at least once a week. I feel Gordon would give his stamp of approval on this one. Much love F&F.
Grew up in Canada listening to Gordon Lightfoot, what a beautiful rendition.
Darwin makes a valuable contribution in all the F&F performances but he really shines in this one, as he does in SJBE.
In Army Special Forces training 40 years ago, one of our NCOs turned this into a marching cadence. For 10 minutes I was 19 again.
Just found this one today. I am a long time Lightfoot fan. Excellent version.
Someone send this to Mr. Lightfoot. Please. I hope he gets to hear this. An absolutely wonderful cover version. 👍
Might just be the world's best group!!!
i’ve turned to youtube rather than news. and now sports too. although i’ve listened to new and very old music, i come back to these guys every night. every night. they’re talented, humble and i am saving my airline miles to fly wherever they next perform. thank you!!
Two shows scheduled, December 29 & 30 2022, Hapeville Georgia, near the Atlanta airport. Stay tuned for details.
Thank the Lord for letting the soul of a thing live on, and to F&F for having that kindred spirit. God bless your touches of sweet yesteryear and the abundance of talent you guys and gals share.
Just a perfect rendition - nothing more to add - take a bow :)
