Hank Snow - Hits, Hits & More Hits! '1968

Tracks list

It must have been about eighteen years ago. Thats right, because it was early
1950. Anyhow, I was doing school homework and listening to the radio at the same
time when my attention to duty was distracted by a record called The Only Rose.
The homework was instantly forgotten as I was flipped out of my mind by a fellow
named Hank Snow singing unlike any artist Id ever heard before. At that time I
was an aspiring young (?) steel-guitar picker, and I began telling my musician
friends that if I ever had the opportunity to play professionally, Id rather
play for Hank Snow than anybody else in the world. To make a long story short,
the word reached Hank, we got together and, in a rose-colored daze, I found
myself playing steel guitar for the greatest country singer in the business. 
The beginning of a long and treasured friendship introduced me to a man who was
soon to become not only the No. 1 C&W artist internationally but one of the
all-time greats of country music. I was fascinated by Hanks concern for
behind-the-scenes details. When we recorded or made a personal appearance,
everything had been carefully considered in advance. Thus, there were no
haphazard performances. A recording session was pure pleasure because Hank
always knew what he was going to do and how it was to be done - so there was no
confusion or indecision as he cut hit after hit. His outstanding artistry is
reflected by the fact that he has recorded for RCA Victor for over thirty years.
Fantastic.
Well, I tend to get carried away when discussing Hank Snow, and this could go on
forever. One final remark. In the music business a song such as White Christmas.
that people never get tired of and want to hear year after year, 1s called a
“standard.” Hank Snow is a “Standard .’
