ROSE MADDOX 'The One Rose' (4CDs)
Though my favorite Rose Maddox material is her early 4-star work with her brothers, now available on Arhoolie, many of her later Capital recordings are worthy of re-issue as well, as this new 4-Cd boxed set proves. Done up in the usual superb Bear Family style, this includes a lovely booklet of notes by Charlie Seeman, plus discog. and many nice photos. The 111 songs here include her bluegrass cuts done with Bill Monroe and Reno & Smiley, as well as a 12 song 1960 gospel session. Rose is such a good singer that all but the weakest material sounds pretty good.
