One of the most important and influential groups in the 'bawdy birthing' of rock 'n' roll, the Maddox Bros & Rose were a family band that ruled the West Coast in the 1940s and 1950s. Headed by feisty Rose Maddox, they recorded everything from pure hillbilly to Western songs to wild rockabilly. Bear Family has finally made the best compilation of the group for fans of rockabilly and uptempo hillbilly. All killer, no filler! This collection of Columbia recordings from the 1950s includes their wildest rockabilly number The Death Of Rock And Roll, along with hillbilly boogie classics like Ugly And Slouchy, Dig A Hole, Paul Bunyan Love, and Rose Maddox solo recordings like Wild Wild Young Men and I'll Go Steppin' Too.
