Long before female Country singers became mainstream stars, Rose Maddox was rewriting the rulebook. Blessed with a powerful, unmistakable voice and a fearless performing style, she helped transform post-war Country music, first with the legendary Maddox Brothers & Rose and later as a successful solo artist. The One Rose captures her at her vibrant best, mixing Honky Tonk, Country, Western Swing and Rockin' Hillbilly into an irresistible collection of songs.
The album features spirited interpretations of classics by Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie and Hank Thompson alongside traditional favourites and lesser-known gems. Whether tearing through Honky-Tonkin' and Move It On Over, bringing warmth to Philadelphia Lawyer or adding her own unmistakable personality to Milk Cow Blues, Rose sings every song with warmth, confidence and the kind of joyful exuberance that made her one of Country music's most captivating performers.
Rooted firmly in traditional Country music, Rose Maddox brought a drive and exuberance that would help shape the emerging Rockabilly sound, making her recordings favourites with Country, Rock 'n' Roll and American roots music fans alike. Her vibrant delivery and natural stage presence shine through on every track, explaining why her influence can still be heard in generations of rockin' performers.
Beautifully presented on vinyl, The One Rose is an essential addition for anyone who appreciates classic Honky Tonk, Western Swing and vintage Country music performed by one of the genre's true pioneers.
