Hank Snow Artist Snapshot:

Canada-born country legend Hank Snow started out in the 1930s with a yodeling style heavily influenced by Jimmie Rodgers. In the '40s he adopted a more straightforward singing style. It was the dawn of the '50s, however, that made him a star, with such smashes as "I'm Moving On" and "A Fool Such as I" (later covered by the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley, respectively). Snow is generally considered to have been the first truly worldwide country icon, his music reaching across the continents and influencing everyone from the Stones to the first wave of US rockabilly artists.

Title Note

All tracks have been digitally remastered.

This is part of RCA Nashville's Essentials series.

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.
