Editorial Review:
Tender ballads, urgent travel songs, infectious boogies--Canadian Hank Snow not only handled them all, but he handled them quite well and rode them all to the top of the country charts. His music was a logical extension of his idol Jimmie Rodgers's style, and Snow's letter-perfect, prudently effective vocal delivery and crisp, tasteful acoustic-guitar runs graced countless (actually, 36) top 10 country hits. This 20-song collection provides a nice introduction to his various styles and captures all of his best-known songs. His own compositions "I'm Movin' On" and "Rhumba Boogie" plus covers like "I've Been Everywhere" and "I Don't Hurt Anymore" were not only hugely dominant hits (Shania wasn't the first Canadian country phenom), but they remain cornerstones of country. --Marc Greilsamer

Rating: - All Hank
An outstanding cd full of the great Hank Snow treatment of this great music,exceptionally good cd, easily worth the quite reasonable price.Many of these songs were done by Hank originally, what else could you ask for!
Rating: - Very Very Good - But There IS A Better Collection Out There
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Hank Snow Has Voice and Rhythm
Hank Snow is great on this CD. He and his band found rhythm that will make you want to get up and dance with this CD. This is a "Happy" CD.
Rating: - I dont hurt anymore
Hank Snow was one of the best country singers and this CD is great. With real country music harder and harder to find having this CD is a boost to anyone's honky tonk collection. And for the money its really great. Good sound quality as well. Well this is DP movin on now take care all.
Rating: - Hankering for a Hank Snow immersion?
It's been a long, long time since I've listened to much Hank Snow -- since back in the 1950's, before rock & roll routed C&W for me. But this CD put me right back there with this really large selection of his great ones, plus some I had never heard. You can't beat Hank for the fast-talking, driving rhythm of such cuts as I've Been Everywhere, and Music Makin' Mama. Way before we got so aware of international influences in our music, there he was talking about the Cuban and South American rhythms ... Read More
