Hank Snow found fame hard to come by, but when it came, it came in a big way, with the phenomenal success in 1950 of I'm moving on, a song that dominated the country charts and also made the American pop charts.
Following that success, Hank had many more hits on the country charts during the fifties and sixties including Golden rocket, I don't hurt anymore, I've been everywhere and Let me go lover, all of which made number one. He surprised everybody by returning to number one in the mid-seventies with Hello love, but was unable to capitalize on it and only had limited success thereafter.
Hank played a key role (with Colonel Parker) in establishing Elvis Presley's fledgling career before Colonel Parker took full control of it. Elvis remained a fan of Hank's music and had a major international pop hit with Fool such as I, a cover of one of Hank's country hits included here.
This compilation contains all of Hank's really important country hits though it would require a double-CD to include all his top ten country hits and more than that to provide an in-depth retrospective. Inevitably, fans will argue about some tracks they'd like to have seen included but this set will satisfy most people's needs.
It is worth noting that all these tracks are available on the Australian triple-CD, Legendary Hank Snow, which contains a further thirty of Hank's songs - however, the re-mastering and liner notes are superior on this single CD. You must decide what is most important to you.
