Editorial Reviews

(5-CD LP-sized box set with 36-page book) A sidebar to our Hank Snow retrospective, this set collects 140 recordings made between 1950 and 1956. They were never commercially available, and they capture Hank in a relaxed and informal mood. He's playing his own songs, his personal favorites, and current hits, and the selection shows his understanding and effortless mastery of country music history. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hank never sounded better!, August 20, 2010

This is simply amazing. Hank Snow at his very best. The performances are easy and relaxed, Hank and the band stretch out on some old favorites that he never did in the studio. "Blow Your Whistle Freight Train", the old Delmore Brothers song is one favorite, but there are many gems on this set to treasure. Another Bear Family home run!
