Very Very Good - But There IS A Better Collection Out There
Submitted on: 2007-09-30 |

I can't agree with the claim of fellow reviewer Paul Tognetti that this is the best Hank Snow collection available. Perhaps the best single-disc compilation - I'd have no argument there - but outside of a hugely expensive multi-disc box set, the 2-cd release from RCA/BMG titled "I've Been Everywhere - The Hank Snow Story" is better in terms of content (44 songs, both A- and B-sides) and liner notes.
Having said that, this is still very much a 5-star compilation which presents 20 of the 85 Country hits he registered from late 1949 to 1980 - all with the same label, RCA Victor/RCA. That includes all seven of his # 1 hits: I'm Moving On (# 1 for TWENTY-ONE weeks and 44 weeks in total on the charts from July 1950 to December); The Golden Rocket (which took over the top spot for two weeks in late 1950/early 1951); The Rhumba Boogie (which became his third straight # 1 after it made its debut on the charts in March 1951 and eventually spent EIGHT weeks at the top); I Don't Hurt Anymore (TWENTY weeks at # 1 and 41 weeks on the charts from late May 1954); Let Me Go Lover (two weeks at # 1 in early 1955); I've Been Everywhere (Two weeks at # 1 in fall 1962)' and Hello Love (one week at # 1 in spring 1974). Small wonder he was inducted in the Country Music Hall Of Fame in 1979!
The others included here were also solid hits, all detailed in the eight pages of liner notes written by the well-known Country Music journalist Edward Morris. The sound quality is excellent. |
