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.
