Rose Maddox was a great American country singer-songwriter and fiddle player. Born (August 15, 1925) in Boaz, Alabama, Maddox was the singer in the Maddox Brothers and Rose. Rose Maddox exerted a heavy influence on honky tonk females through her recordings with the Maddox Brothers but later turned to traditional bluegrass forms as well to inspire folk revivalists of the 1960s and '70s.

Ray Stevens, Skeeter Davis, John Hartford and Chuck Wagon Gang also recorded the bluegrass gospel flavored tune Turn Your Radio On but Rose Maddox version is by far the very best!

In 1996 she was nominated for a Grammy award for her Arhoolie recording $35 and a Dream. On April 15, 1998 she sadly died.

Rose Maddox single Hits includes: Gambler's Love, Kissing My Pillow, I Want to Live Again, Mental Cruelty" (with Buck Owens), Loose Talk" (with Buck Owens), Conscience, I'm Guilty, Sing a Little Song of Heartache, Lonely Teardrop, Down to the River, We're the Talk of the Town" (with Buck Owens), Sweethearts in Heaven (with Buck Owens), Somebody Told Somebody, Alone with You, Blue Bird Let Me Tag Along, Move It On Over

Lyrics:

Turn your radio on
Come and listen in to a radio station,
Where the mighty host of Heaven sing,
Turn your radio on
((turn your radio on))
Turn your radio on
((turn your radio on))
If you want to want to hear the songs of Zion,
Coming from the land of endless spring,
Get in touch with God
((get in touch with God))
Turn your radio on
((turn your radio on))

Turn your radio on
((turn your radio on))
And listen to the music in the air,
Turn your radio on
((turn your radio on))
And glory to share
((glory share)
Turn the lights down low
((lights down low))
And listen to the Master's Radio,
Get in touch with God
((get in touch with God))
Turn your radio on.

Brother, listen in to the gloryland chorus,
Listen to the glad hosannahs roll,
Turn your radio on
((turn your radio on))
Turn your radio on
((turn your radio on))
Get a little taste of joys awaiting,
Get a little Heaven in your soul,
Get in touch with God
((get in touch with God))
Turn your radio on.

Turn your radio on
((turn your radio on))
And listen to the music in the air,
Turn your radio on
((turn your radio on))
And glory to share
((glory share)
Turn the lights down low
((lights down low))
And listen to the Master's Radio,
Get in touch with God
((get in touch with God))
Turn your radio on.

Listen to the songs of the fathers and the mothers,
And the many friends gone on before,
Turn your radio on
((turn your radio on))
Turn your radio on
((turn your radio on))
Some eternal morning we shall meet them,
Over on the Hallelujah Shore,
Get in touch with God
((get in touch with God))
Turn your radio on
((turn your radio on))

Turn your radio on
((turn your radio on))
And listen to the music in the air,
Turn your radio on
((turn your radio on))
And glory to share
((glory share)
Turn the lights down low
((lights down low))
And listen to the Master's Radio,
Get in touch with God
((get in touch with God))
Turn your radio on.
