Description
• The four albums brought together for this double CD release present Hank Snow at his traditional best, covering titles from the Jimmie Rodgers songbook and tales of railroads and trains, both subjects dear to the singer’s heart.
• “Hank Snow Sings In Memory Of Jimmie Rodgers” (1970) and “The Jimmie Rodgers Story” (1972) clearly show that the singer never lost the love for his idol’s music. The second album added even greater authenticity as Albert Fullam, a one-time locomotive engineer who had met Rodgers, mixes biographical details with personal reminiscences in a narration that precedes most of the tracks.
• It was probably Rodgers’ persona as the “Singing Brakeman” and songs like ‘Waiting For A Train’, that were an inspiration for Snow’s contributions to the genre. “Railroad Man” (1963) and “Tracks & Trains” (1971) highlighted the fact that train songs always had links with traditional country music and these two albums collected songs that stretched over the decades.
