		Snow appeared regularly on the Opry into the '90s, proving that his incredible voice suffered no loss of quality over the last half-century, as well as what a tasteful, understated guitar stylist he is. With small stature and huge voice, Snow was a country traditionalist who gave much more to the business than he took.
		Snow landed a weekly unpaid appearance on CHNS' Down on the Farm, where he was billed as both the cowboy Blue Yodeller and Clarence Snow and His Guitar.
		Snow was very upset with the label's treatment of him, as well as the direction that country music was taking, claiming that "80 percent of today's country music is a joke and not fit to listen to." He was equally angry that country's roots were being diluted by pop and rock production values.

	Champions of Atlanta - Hudson City
		Hank Snow is a professional bar singer and an amateur rodeo rider, who has recently re-located with his wife to Hudson City.
		Hank rides broncos and bulls, ropes calves and steers, and participates in the lariat contests (which, actually, he's pretty good at). He's generally a crowd favorite, because they know that he may eventually have to use the shield, either for himself or for a fellow rider.
		Hank is 6' 1" tall, and 195 lbs; 42 years old. He has light brown hair, hazel eyes and a winning smile. He is almost never seen without something in his mouth -- usually a toothpick. His hair is kept neat and trim and he hasn't worn a beard or mustache since he was 20.

	HANK SNOW
		Perhaps Bear Family's most significant achievement is restoring the Hank Snow catalog to print, redressing years of unjustified neglect on the part of record companies and the industry in general towards one of the giants of country music.
		Hank Snow made several abortive stabs at breaking into the American market before landing a berth on the Grand Ole Opry thanks to the intercession of another Rodgers disciple, Ernest Tubb.
		In addition to his hit singles, Hank Snow was also one of the first to recognize that the LP offered an opportunity to create concept albums, and his LPs included early tributes to Jimmie Rodgers and the Sons of the Pioneers, as well as sets of narrations, instrumentals, railroad songs, tragic songs, and hymns.

		Then his first RCA Victor American hit came along: “I’m Moving On.” A piece that Snow’s producer had not even wanted to cut, the song rode the charts for forty-four weeks in l950 and l951; it was followed by two more #1s: “The Golden Rocket” (l950) and “Rhumba Boogie” (l95l).

		In the '50s and '60s -- arguably Hank Snow's most productive decades -- the Canadian singer was as important to country as Dizzy Gillespie was to jazz, Tito Puente was to salsa, and Ray Charles was to soul.
		Originally released as a vinyl LP in the '60s and reissued on CD in the late '80s, this collection of '50s and '60s hits is hardly the last word on Snow's legacy.
		A lot of essential hits from the '50s and '60s are missing, and other best-ofs by Snow are more comprehensive; for example, I'm Movin' on and Other Country Hits (which RCA put out in 1990) offers 20 songs instead of 12.

		All seven of Snow's #1 hits from 1950-74 are here, including "I'm Movin' On" (an astonishing 21 weeks at #1 in 1950) and 1954's honky tonk masterpiece, "I Don't Hurt Anymore," which spent a mere 20 weeks in the top slot.
		Too often forgotten nowadays is the fact that Snow was one of the finest country vocalists and guitarists of his generations.
		Though the sheer number of his hits practically demands a second Snow collection (fewer than half of his top 10 hits are included), this is certainly one of RCA's better "Essential" efforts.
