User Reviews: RCA Country Legends

Lively and soothing.
, June 24, 2003Reviewer: Liz - See all Liz's reviewsThis selection of songs will keep your mind off of things you don't want to think about. The lively songs force any other thoughts away and the soothing songs just take you away to anothr place. Perhaps beacuse it is music made in the past that it has that effect on me but I am sure you will enjoy the whole album.

Pro Reviews: RCA Country Legends
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Hank Snow hailed from Canada, and had already had success in his native home before breaking big on the country charts in the United States in 1950 with "I'm Moving On." RCA Country Legends: Hank Snow covers 16 Snow favorites recorded between 1950 and 1978, concentrating most heavily on his straight honkytonk work of the 1950s. His arrangements frequently include steel guitar, a walking bass, fiddle, and Snow's fine acoustic guitar work. Snow is a good singer, and while his vocals are less rustic than Webb Pierce's, they nonetheless retain plenty of country twang on "Golden Rocket" and "Confused With the Blues." Snow also brings his resonant vocals to bear on a number of fine, deeplyfelt ballads including "(Now and Then, There's) A Fool Such As I," "I Don't Hurt Anymore," and "Let Me Go, Lover." If RCA Country Legends: Hank Snow has a weak point it is the inclusion of Snow's popular but inferior post'50s work, frequently with Chet Atkins producing. While Snow retains his distinct vocal style, and while songs like "Miller's Cave" were big hits, Atkins' Nashville sheen, complete with cheesy background singers, removes any sign of country grit. For fans looking for a broad overview of Snow's career, RCA Country Legends: Hank Snow is a good starting point; for honkytonk purists, the collection mistakenly reveals Snow at his best, only to undercut this impression with secondrate work. - Ronnie D.
