Born in Nova Scotia, Canada, singer/songwriter Hank Snow became an icon of country music during the 1950s and '60s. Following in the footsteps of the legendary Jimmie Rodgers, Snow penned his own tales of love and travel (often a love of travel), most notably the timeless songs of wanderlust "I'm Movin' On" and "I've Been Everywhere," both later performed by his ardent admirer Johnny Cash.
This excellent 20-track collection presents many more of Snow's greatest moments, including the heartsick lament "(Now and Then, There's) A Fool Such as I," which was famously covered by Elvis Presley. (Snow was an early champion of Elvis, and tried to steer him in a more country-oriented direction.) The set also calls attention to Snow's wonderful sense of humor, as best evidenced on the old-fashioned "Music Makin' Mama from Memphis" and the lighthearted "The Gal Who Invented Kissin'." Every fan of vintage country should own at least one Hank Snow disc, and this is one of the finest collections available.
20-song collection provides a nice introduction to his various styles and captures all of his best-known songs. His own compositions 'I'm Movin on' and 'Rhumba Boogie', plus covers like 'I've Been Everywhere' and 'I Don't Hurt Anymore'.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.

A Terrific Singer For Now & Always
Since I was a young boy , I have really enjoyed Hank Snow singing , His deep baritone voice was a unique style from the nasal , twangy voices in Country music at the time.I was in my early teens in the 50's and went to work at an early age .Whenever I heard Hank Singing , it was like an inspiration to keep on keepin' on. He was a huge hero of mine ,When we lost him in his mid eighties , we lost am inimitable man of the entertainment industry and a great son of Nova Scotia, Canada.

classic country at it's best
For fans of classic country music this CD is a "must have". Hank's crystal clear voice is so distictive that the listener has no doubt that this is true country music. The tracks on this album include many of Hank's greatest hit songs, and the sound quality of the recording is very high. Hank Snow probably has the best singing voice in country music, either classic or modern.
