About Rose Maddox
Roselea Arbana "Rose" Maddox was an American country singer-songwriter and fiddle player, who was the lead singer with the Maddox Brothers and Rose before a successful solo career. Her musical styles blended hillbilly music, rockabilly and gospel. She was noted for her "reputation as a lusty firebrand", and her "colorful Western costumes"; she was one of the earliest clients of Hollywood tailor, Nathan Turk. Rose first performed with her brothers in amateur shows at age 11, and while in her teens, began performing with them on local radio station KTRB. After the brothers had served in World War II, Rose first recorded with them for 4 Star Records in 1947. Rose became noted for her colorful performances, once shocking a Grand Ole Opry audience by appearing with a bare midriff.
