Dieser 4 CD Satz enthält alle Columbia Aufnahmen von den Maddox Brothers & Rose, Rosie & Rhetta und Rose Maddox. Die Maddoxes unterschrieben 1952 bei Columbia und machten 6 Jahre lang da weiter, wo sie bei 4-Star aufgehört hatten. Dies ist rauhe, ausgelassene good time Country Music, gefühlvolle Gospels und einiges vom Besten an auf Tradition fußender Musik, die je den Weg auf Wachs gefunden hat. Die 96 Titel enthalten I'll Make Sweet Love To You, Cocquita Of Laredo, No Help Wanted, I Won't Stand In Your Way, A Womoin' We Will Go, Kiss Me Like Crazy, Hasty Baby, I Wonder If I Can Lose The Blues This Way, Wild Wild Young Men, Burrito Joe, The Death Of Rock'n Roll und Old Man Blues. Keine Hits aber jede Menge Spaß!This 4 CD set contains the complete Columbia recordings by the Maddox Bros. & Rose, Rosie & Rhetta, and Rose Maddox. The Maddoxes signed with Columbia in 1952, and for the next six years picked up where they had left off on 4-Star. This is rowdy, boisterous, good time country music, soulful gospel, and some of the best tradition-based music ever to find its way onto wax. The 96 titles include I'll Make Sweet Love To You, Cocquita Of Laredo, No Help Wanted, I Won't Stand In Your Way, A Wooin' We Will Go, Kiss Me Like Crazy, Hasty Baby, I Wonder If I Can Lose The Blues This Way, Wild Wild Young Men, Burrito Joe, The Death Of Rock 'n' Roll, and Old Man Blues. No hits, but a whole lotta fun!
