4.0 out of 5 starsToo many mistakes for 5 stars.
By Cory L. Schwent on October 6, 2003
Format: Audio CD
First off, I must say the music included here is some of the craziest, most outlandish honky tonk music ever recorded. I have never heard music performed that was so good.
But the problem here doesn't lay with the music. The problem lies with the cd itself. Music this important deserves better treatment.
The biggest problem is the fact that the song "I Want to Live and Love" is here twice, once under it's name and once under the name "New Mule Skinner Blues." That is an almost unexcusable error in a collection this important. (Their version of "New Mule Skinner Blues" is on Volume 2).
Next, no where in the booklet is there any recording dates or even a simple explanation of what label the music was recorded for. It says they were signed to Columbia records in 1951, but it also says the recordings included here were recorded between 1946 and 1951.
The sound quality is alright for recordings this old.
A release this important deserves better.
I still recommend this collection, but I wish it was taken more seriously by Arhoolie Records.

5.0 out of 5 starsSome of the wildest music of its day
By Jon E Johnson on January 13, 2000
Format: Audio CD
Though the Maddoxes began recording long before the emergence of rock 'n' roll and rockabilly in the early '50s, the numbers included on this generous 27-song collection - lifted from the group's sessions for the 4-Star label in the late '40s and early '50s - pointed the way for others to follow. One can easily hear the enormous influence that bassist/vocalist Fred Maddox had on the rockabilly bassists who followed him, including Bill Black and Dorsey Burnette. And lead guitarist Roy Nichols displays the ample chops that he would later employ to great effect with the likes of Lefty Frizzell, Wynn Stewart, and Merle Haggard. The most impressive thing about the Maddoxes, though, is that their records were Fun with a capital "F." Sure they never enjoyed much popularity outside of their west coast base, but their records have stood the test of time far better than some others of the era and you're a better person than I am if you can stifle a smile while listening to the almighty racket that the group made. Most of the songs are punctuated by the kinds of whoops and hollers and laughing that would be commonplace on rockabilly records made nearly a decade later, and more than a few sound like someone is building a house in the studio while the group was recording. If you're a musician who's getting a little too full of the "art" of playing music, give a listen to the Maddoxes for a reminder of what music sounds like when it's played for fun...and sounds like it.

5.0 out of 5 starsUp-tempo rocking country
By Peter Durward Harris HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on March 16, 2003
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
There has never been anybody quite like this family band. These recordings were made between 1946 and 1951, but although they pre-date rock'n'roll, they have a definite good time rock'n'roll feel to them.
Almost relentlessly upbeat, the songs include great covers of the Hank Williams classics Move it on over, Honky tonkin' Another great cover is Faded love, the Bob Wills song which Patsy Cline later made her own, but whereas Patsy's version is very emotional, Rose and the boys do it in a much more upbeat style. If you want sad music , you won't find it here. I love Patsy's version, but I also love the version here.
Philadelphia lawyer was written by Woody Guthrie but became one of Rose's trademark songs. Rose recorded it several times in her long career, but this version with the brothers is the first.
Rose sings lead on most of the songs, except Fred on four songs and Don on another. The mood is still the same - listen to them all on Whoa sailor, with Fred on lead and Rose coming in on a few lines.
There are so many great songs here. I want to live and love (their theme song) actually gets in twice, because the record company made a mistake and included it as track 12 where they meant to put New mule skinner blues, as indicated by the track listing. It also appears correctly as the last track on the CD. This mistake is acknowledged in the notes for volume 2, where all the tracks are as listed, beginning with New mule skinner blues.
Do not let that mistake put you off. There are still 26 excellent upbeat songs to get those toes tapping. If you can't get enough, there are 30 more on volume 2.

5.0 out of 5 starshillbillys gone wild!!!
By A Customer on July 9, 1999
Format: Audio CD
This is it man. If you haven't got this,stop, don't go any further.Rock and Roll from the 40's!!! A crazed mix of baudy shoutouts, spirituals,early honky tonk,ballads, miner work songs, everything they had ever heard thrown into the pot and turned up to FULL BOIL!!! If your girl says she doesn't like country except for Patsy Cline (uhhhh, country, yeahhh...), turn her on to this and she'll be sportin' cuffed jeans and kicker boots in no time flat,brother!!! This is everything right about music, everything that those snooty alterna-rock snobs will never understand. Absolutely,positively,utterly essential.

5.0 out of 5 starsListen.
By LastCoonassStanding on December 8, 2015
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Every ARTIST has something to say regardless if it is expressed in literature, music, photography, art, or simple nursery rhymes.

Rosie and her brothers may not be the current 'catch', same as Shade 45 may not be the 'catch' of the era, the day, the majority...some get it, appreciate it, some do not understand it. There is no need to catch and throw it back because if there is no catcher it's one hell of a ball game.

Sometimes one just has to keep 'pitching' that love by sending books or music...once in a while a photograph will work. Sometimes.
