My great grandfather was Cliff Maddox. Oddly enough, I really had no idea what kind of influence and notoriety they had until I got older. I appreciate that they were a bit against the grain and raw in their style, I think I inherited some of that spirit :)nimiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14920194493837767944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-42343124614291028662011-11-26T09:04:07.277-05:002011-11-26T09:04:07.277-05:00Wow, there is a lot of effective info in this post...Wow, there is a lot of effective info in this post!www.mueblescebreros.comhttp://www.mueblescebreros.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-62903141659008633132011-11-21T14:58:13.746-05:002011-11-21T14:58:13.746-05:00I hadn't heard it before last night 'cos m...I hadn't heard it before last night 'cos my best friend told me about it.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure your spelling is the correct one. <br />Roy Buchanan claims to have taken lessons from him as a tyke. Nicholas played NYC w/Merle Haggard only months before he had a stroke in 1996 which ened his career. He had also put in time w/ Lefty Frizzel and Wynn Stewart. He was only 14 when the Maddox Bros hired him so Fred Maddox became his legal guardian. Haggard met him while playing bass in Wynn Stewart's band. You can learn some of his guitar tips here: <br />http://tinpan.fortunecity.com/guitar/451/<br />or watch him play a brief solo here:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li_Kpk_DDoEThe Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328225246284521960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-84294776028103812872010-06-19T08:10:57.361-04:002010-06-19T08:10:57.361-04:00In 1997 the Country Music Foundation published RAM...In 1997 the Country Music Foundation published RAMBLIN' ROSE: THE LIFE AND CAREER OF ROSE MADDOX by the estimable L.A. writer Jonny Whiteside (who earlier wrote the excellent CRY: THE JOHNNIE RAY STORY, from '94).

I did see a cd called Ugly & Slouchy which is the old two LP series of Columbia sides and a Rose Maddox 4 CD Capitol Box as well as a 4 CD box of the Columbia stuff called The Most Colorful Hillbilly Band In America. You still have to go to Arhoolie to get the 4-Star material (their best) available as two CD's and they also issued another CD of vintage airchecks. I wish someone would put the 4-star/columbia and capitol sides on one big box.The Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328225246284521960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-79683641198398634962010-06-17T05:23:26.516-04:002010-06-17T05:23:26.516-04:00"Lightnin' Hopkins or Jimmy Reed "
..."Lightnin' Hopkins or Jimmy Reed "<br /><br />In a nutshell, you want all the Jimmy Reed sides originally recorded for Vee Jay. For Lightnin', in order, his best sides were cut for Herald, Gold Star, Aladdin, Modern/RPM (re-issued on budget Crown LP's), Sittin' In With, and Mercury. Because anything over 50 years old is public domain in Europe this stuff has been re-issued over a bewildering variety of labels. I'll get around to longger posting some day.The Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328225246284521960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-79978553765987675622010-06-17T05:18:21.672-04:002010-06-17T05:18:21.672-04:00Um, Bear Family has three box sets of Maddox Broth...Um, Bear Family has three box sets of Maddox Brothers/Rose Maddox material. I remember cursing myself for not being able to afford to buy them all at once.

(Roots and Rhythm is also happy!)<br />In your John Lee Hooker post, you mentioned how people don't know much about Lightnin' Hopkins or Jimmy Reed due to the sheer amount of stuff out there. Guilty.

Love The One Rose as well, just spotted a nice 8x10 of Rose using the same image calling her America's Most Colorful Singer, or some such.
