(4-CD LP-sized box with 28-page book, 96 tracks) 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 Ugly And Slouchy, 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! This set also includes a lavishly illustrated 28-page book with a biographical essay by Robert K. Oerman and notes on the music by Deke Dickerson.
