SNOW, Hank
Snow In Hawaii

The allure of the Hawaiian Islands always capitivated Hank Snow. One of his fondest childhood memories was listening to his mother play soothing Hawaiian melodies on an acoustic steel guitar. Although he seldom strayed far from the Maritime Provinces, by 1937 Snow was writing and recording songs about life and love in the picturesque Pacific Isles. In 1951 Bluebird Island, a Polynesian-flavored duet with Anita Carter, became a #4 hit on 'Billboard's' country charts. Snow's popular 1966 cover of Buddy Knox's Hula Love led to his first Hawaiian album, 'Snow In Hawaii.' Featuring background vocals by Tompall and the Glaser Brothers, the album was one of the singer's personal favorites. This Bear Family reissues augments the original LP with tracks from the every stage of Snow's seven-decade career, including two early Canadian sides and a recut of Hula Love that became his final solo vocal recording for RCA Victor.

Quality and creativity – for more than thirty years these basic principles established Bear Family products as something unique and esteemed throughout the world. But what you hear is only part of the complete equasion. Bear Family devotes just as much detail to the graphics. For more than three decades lavishly illustrated books have accompanied our compact disc boxed sets. Today, even our smaller-sized CD releases receive the same eye-catching designs as their larger counterparts. That's why we're honored to be associated with Reinhard Kleist, a renown German artist whose multifaceted creations are celebrated across international circles. Born near Cologne, Kleist graduated from Münster's College Of Higher Education For Graphic And Design. Since moving to Berlin in 1996, he has primarily worked out of his Prenzlauer Berg studio with extended time off for residencies in New York and Cuba. Long fascinated with the darker sides of America and his home country, Kleist has created thematic works like 'Amerika', and 'The Secrets Of Coney Island'. He also worked on 'Narbenstadt ('City Of Scars') – Berlinoir' (a trilogy). Critics and gothic lit fans raved over his optical transfers of H.P. Lovecraft's short stories, 'Das Grauen im Gemäuer' ('The Ruin's Horror'). Kleist also created imaginative graphic novels around popular music icons. His comic biography, 'Elvis,' is a genre highlight. His fascinating 'Cash – I See A Darkness' received three prestigious awards: the Münchner Comic Preis (Munich Comic Award), the Preis der Frankfurter Buchmesse (Frankfort Book Fair award) and the Max-und-Moritz Preis (Max-and-Moritz Award). This exceptional artist has done distinctive cover designs and illustrations for several recent Bear Family CDs, including a Christmas album by country legend Hank Snow; the 'Deep Roots Album' with originals of Johnny Cash songs; 'Shit Happens', a 'bad luck' anthology of ironic songs; and 'Ein Herz aus Stein', the first collection of Rolling Stones covers sung in German. Kleist also designed the cover for Bear Family's boxed set of the famous German political comedy group 'Die Stachelschweine' ('The Porcupines'). And now Kleist has designed striking graphics for four new thematic Hank Snow compilations covering railroads,life on the Western Plains, the enchanting Hawaiian Islands and those exotic locales south of the American border.

SNOW, Hank
Snow Under Western Skies

From his earliest years in Nova Scotia, Hank Snow was fascinated by the songs and lore of the American West. Every Canadian recording session he made between 1936 and 1947 featured at least one song about Texas and the open range. Long after resettling in the United States, Snow often revisited the West in his concerts, record albums and Grand Ole Opry appearances. This collection features many of Snow's Western sagas, starting with his first record from 1936, Prisoned Cowboy. It also includes tracks from 'Heartbreak Trail,' his best-selling 1965 tribute to the Sons of the Pioneers, along with rarities from his early years in Canada plus five tracks from his celebrated Thesaurus radio transcriptions of the early '50s.

SNOW, Hank
Snow On The Tracks

Thanks to his career-making 1950 hits I'm Movin' On and The Golden Rocket, the Nova Scotia-born country singer Hank Snow has always been associated with railroads and 'traveling' songs. This collection gathers nearly every track from Snow's two popular RCA Victor albums of train songs: 'Railroad Man' (1963) and 'Tracks And Trains' (1971). Many are beloved railroad evergreens – some dating back to the 1800s, others hailing from country music's golden era. Even Glenn Miller's Chattanooga Choo Choo and Steve Goodman's The City Of New Orleans get the distinctive Snow treatment. The seldom-reissued stereo versions of I'm Movin' On and The Golden Rocket are here, along with rare gems culled from the singer's '60s and '70s LPs.

SNOW, Hank
Snow South Of The Border

One of country music's most versatile stylists, Hank Snow was as adapt as Latin American rhythms as he was playing straightforward country music. The Rhumba Boogie clung to 'Billboard's' country chart for six months in 1951, two of them at #1. When the calypso craze swept the country in 1956, Snow effortlessly adapted Jamaican rhythms into his own style. Not surprisingly, one of Snow's biggest-selling albums was 'Spanish Fire Ball,' a 1967 collection of Latin-flavored material. It revisited several numbers Snow recorded earlier along with mostly familiar standards like Nuevo Laredo and Maria Elena. This collection features the best tracks from that album along with memorable recordings from every stage of Snow's lengthy career. Besides two versions of his classic The Rhumba Boogie, it includes Rose Of The Rio from Snow's early Canadian years and hit versions of Spanish Fire Ball and When Mexican Joe Met Jole Blon. As a bonus, this album includes many of Snow's distinctive acoustic guitar instrumentals, including several duets with Chet Atkins.
