The title of the CD is a bit misleading a only the first 12 selections are instrumental, but the balance of the album's selections feature some of Hank's flat picking. Chet Atkins plays back up on most of these, and in fact plays some great solos on several. A few of these were on other albums featuring Hank and Chet, but a couple were apparently only recorded for this album. Hank was an excellent guitarist, and Chet was and is Mr. Guitar. This album is a treat for fans of either guitarist.

Again amazon, it would really help if you can please put the track listings on this CD because it will help. Hank Snow is truly one of country music's greatest legends and his guitar playing is outstanding!

Gets a little boring after a while but that statement should not be construed to malign his playing. I wish I could play half as well and develop an absolutely unique style like he did.

I found a more detailed track listing that flags the vocal selections and the Chet Atkins duets.

* Hank Snow: vocals

I grew up listening to good western music and Hank Snow was one of the artist that I did listen to and did enjoy his awesome talent. If you like this kind of music I highly suggest that you buy this CD. It's easy on the ears.

I had a Hank Snow instrumental album back in the early 60s which disappeared. I was quite excited to see this album was available but I can't tell if it's the one I want because you don't give any helpful details.

WHY NO TRACK LISTINGS OR PERSONNEL!!!???

I want to here this cd.So I could injoy it.I like Hank Snow.
