This 23 track collection finds Hank Snow in a bluesy, sometimes tearful mood, and features a number of Jimmie Rodgers songs. Although Hank can be ranked alongside Ernest Tubb & Red Foley in the development of country music following Jimmie Rodgers, his route was more tortuous than most. Canadian born & bred, he had to endure a harsh upbringing before pursuing his dream of emulating Rodgers. He then spent years proving himself to Canadian audiences, and finally made it in America in 1950 on the Grand Ole Opry.
