MADDOX BROS. & ROSE WERE DUBBED "AMERICA'S MOST COLOURFUL HILLBILLY BAND" DUE TO THE SEEMINGLY COLOURFUL COSTUMES THEY WORE WHEN THEY PERFORMED. THE BAND CONSISTED OF FOUR BROTHERS FRED, CAL, CLIFF AND DON, ALONG WITH THEIR SISTER, ROSE. CLIFF DIED IN 1949 AND WAS REPLACED WITH ANOTHER SIBLING, HENRY MADDOX. THE BAND WAS LATER JOINED BY BOB DUNCAN. ORIGINATING IN ALABAMA, BUT GAINED SUCCESS AFTER THE MADDOX FAMILY RELOCATED TO CALIFORNIA DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION. THE GROUP WERE AMONG THE EARLIEST "HILLBILLY MUSIC" STARS TO EMERGE FROM THE WEST COAST.

AFTER HAVING SETTLED IN MODESTO, CALIFORNIA, THE FAMILY DEVELOPED THEIR MUSICAL ABILITY AND IN 1937, PERFORMED ON THE RADIO, SPONSORED BY A LOCAL FURNITURE STORE. IN 1939, THEY ENTERED A HILLBILLY BAND COMPETITION AT THE CENTENNIAL SACRAMENTO STATE FAIR AFTER DRIVING TO SACRAMENTO IN THEIR MODEL A. WHEN THEY TOOK TO THE STAGE, THEY TORE THROUGH "SALLY LET YOUR BANGS HANG DOWN" WITH ROCKING RHYTHMS AND RISQUE LYRICS. THEY BECAME OFFICIALLY CALIFORNIA'S BEST HILLBILLY BAND. THEIR MUSIC WAS BASICALLY WHAT WAS THEN CALLED HILLBILLY WITH A TOUCH OF COUNTRY BOOGIE VERGING ON WHAT WAS LATER CALLED ROCKABILLY. THE GROUP DISBANDED IN 1956, WITH ROSE MADDOX EMBARKING ON A REASONABLY SUCCESSFUL SOLO CAREER.

THIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN 1981 ON THE GERMAN BASED BEAR FAMILY RECORDS ESTABLISHED IN 1975 BY COLLECTOR RICHARD WIEZE.
