Maddox Brothers & Rose

rosemaddoxstageCostume: The Maddox Brothers and Rose were considered one of the first, if not the first, “Rockabilly” groups. They started playing on Modesto’s KTRB radio station in 1937. They eventually recorded albums for Four Star and Columbia Records. Rose also recorded as a solo act for Columbia and was regarded as the first woman to sing “Country Boogie.” The band traveled extensively across the country performing shows, which featured brightly designed costumes. The red costume was created by Turk of Hollywood. The band split up in 1956 with Cal Maddox and Rose going on their own. Rose would also go on to record duets with Buck Owens and appear on the Grand Ole Opry. In 1995, Rose was nominated for a Grammy Award for her album $35 and a Dream. fredmaddoxShirt1:
