By 1937, the trio of Rose, Fred, and Cal had finagled a furniture store sponsorship and an early morning radio show. In 1933 the Maddox family (two sharecropper parents and their children Cliff, Cal, Fred, Don, Rose, and Henry) migrated from their Alabama home to California, attempting to eke out a living as fruit pickers during the Depression. While these inductees are extremely talented, they’ve not had anywhere near the monumental influence on multiple genres (country, rockabilly, and rock ‘n’ roll) that the Maddoxes have. Yet they’ve been ignored by the Country Music Hall of Fame in favor of inducted artists like Vince Gill and Alabama. “America’s Most Colorful Hillbilly Band” not only produced some of the best music this country has ever seen, but were also one of the progenitors of rockabilly. They also ended the night being joined on stage by Charlie Bonnet, Steve Barnett & Andre Bonter ( Pump5) to sing along! It Really was a Great night of music All 3 bands were Excellent! (note : all 3 bands used the same drum kit).What’s the greatest sin perpetrated by the country music monolith? Hank Williams’ dismissal from the Grand Ole Opry? Columbia Records dropping Johnny Cash? Giving Rascal Flatts a record deal at all? These are all egregious, yes, but pale in comparison to the industry’s continued ignorance of the Maddox Brothers and Rose. At One Point in the Show Tory was Drinking wine from a bottle he had and Chip was behind him/against him they were playing each others instruments and had the crowd going wild! They played a little bit of everything, but of course the crowd LOVED when they ended the night with their famous songs ” Fly High Michelle” and ” New Thing”.
As Chip Pointed out they have played bigger venues but Knoxville Definitely Rocked Harder. The fans still were jumping and shaking the barricade with delight.

Lead Singer Steven Barnett was all over that stage and had the fans screaming and fist pumping and jumping along to every song. the prior year I was eager to hear them live and they did not disappoint. Cal band Pump5 ! Having met the singer in Nashville Tn. They Have a new song called ” Fair-Weather Friend” sounds great too. Some of my favorites songs they do are “ Sinner With a Song” “Hillbilly Rock Star” “ Too Drive To Drunk” & Waiting On Time”. Him and the guys wasted no time kicking off the night and getting to the Rock! They have quite a following in the Knoxville Area and made more fans that night as I heard people say this was their first show but not their last. Charlie takes the stage wearing his signature black hat and had his stool with his gas can sitting on it. Drummer Shane was out for medical reasons.
