Rose Maddox

Producers Ginna Allison and T.J. Meekins sent us this piece about Rose Maddox, who's known as the grandmother of rockabilly music. Rose got her start in the 1930s, when she was just 11 years old. She went on to perform with country greats like Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard. And this week, her latest album is up for a Grammy.
