"I've Been Everywhere Man" is another big hit for him. This guy is what my father would refer to as country with Jimmy Rodgers , Johnny Cash, and Wilf Carter etc.
Hank Snow sang what is known as railroad songs. This genre of country music was started by "The Father of Country Music", Jimmie Rodgers. Another artist in this genre was Roy Acuff, whose big hit was Orange Blossom Special. The rhinestone suit is a Nudie suit. Nudie Cohn was a Hollywood tailor who made these custom suits for movie stars and singers. Even ZZ Top,
Now you're listening to the good stuff. This man had a bunch of awesome songs: "The Golden Rocket", "The Rhumba Boogie"; "The Gal Who Invented Kissin'", "I Don't Hurt Anymore", "Let Me Go, Lover!", "I've Been Everywhere", "Hello Love", "The Gold Rush Is Over", "(Now and Then There's) A Fool Such as I", "Miller's Cave", And my favorite one "Ninety Miles an Hour (Down a Dead End Street)".
yes, Hank does have that twang of early Western music, he wasn't country, but more twangy. He does it fast, that was his natural rhythm and he's Canadian. If I remember correctly he's from Eastern Canada - Nova Scotia. Keith Urban in his earlier years mentioned he grew up on Hank, Roy Acuff and all the old time country artists
He was absolutely country music!! From his singing to his band's pickin and instruments. The very definition of country music. His twang is real, not the fake twang these people do nowadays.
One of my favorite songs by him is Squid Jigging Ground. I believe it is about squid fishing in Newfoundland. I don't even understand a lot of it but I've always loved it.
You are correct about the picking. Also, you are correct about the time frame. Hank was big in the 50s - 60s, although his career was about 50 years (he did a duet albumwith Willie in the 80s that were all his biggesthits). He recorded 140 albums and had 85 songs on the Billboard charts. If you saw the movie "Elvis" last year, you will note that he is opening for Hank Snow when he is first starting out. Not a lotta people can say Elvis was their opening act!! In the song, he is leaving via train. The cadence of the song is to simulate the sound of a train moving down the tracks.
Hank Snow was a very popular Canadian country artist. Other country artists of the day loved to imitate his voice during their shows. Back in the 50s and 60s most of the bigger country acts wore those rhinestone outfits and I never understood why.
That "neat instrument" is a steel guitar. It's often featured in country music and played a major role is establishing the effect of "He Stopped Loving Her Today." You may want to listen to that one again to really experience it fully.
Hank Snow was an legend country singer Britt. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us your so awesome on your youtube channel love it Britt.❤️🌹👍
Another quick and fun song of Hank Snow's is "I've Been Everywhere". A Texas version of this song was done by Asleep At The Wheel. Please react to both.
The steel guitar is a major instrument in country music. The other comments have great suggestions for more Hank Snow. I'm going to suggest checking out Junior Brown. He is a recent steel guitar/guitar player and singer. I would suggest "Freeborn Man" or "Surf Medley" and for Junior, definitely his live music. A fun reaction. I think the first time I've seen Hank Snow on a reaction channel.
Love his Music. He's one of my top Favorites in Classic Country. People who listen to his stuff most certainly have great taste. Also, this is one of my favorite songs of him too.
New subscriber. I’ve been binging your videos today and I got to this one and was blown away because that’s my late grandfather. Im honored to see a newer generation finding and reacting to his music. Thank you for bringing a nostalgic smile to my face. 🙏🏻❤️
He's got on a Nudie Suit made by Nudie Cohn, a tailor famous for putting rhinestones and sequence on suits. Most all the country artists had one back in the day, even the women.
That instrument that is being played to Hank's right is a pedal steel guitar which is a descendant of the hawaiian steel guitar and resonator guitar which were .played with pics and a steel bar. Earlier steel guitar recordings were played without pedals. However the pedal steel guitars were primarily used in Country music. an example of a pedal-less steel guitar used in other genres was in the song "Sleepwalk" written and played by the rock n roll duo, Santo & Johnny.
Hank Snow was a Canadian-born Country singer, guitarist, and songwriter. He was signed to RCA Victor-Canada in 1936, and was a steady seller of records for the record label. In 1949, Hank Snow moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and he became a big Country music star in the US. “I’m Moving On” was a major hit for Snow, reaching “Number One” on the Billboard Country Singles Chart, and stayed there for 21 weeks in 1950. Other hit records by Hank Snow are “The Golden Rocket”, “The Rhumba Boogie”, and “I’ve Been Everywhere”. For a year or two, Elvis Presley was Hank Snow’s opening act. In 1958, Hank Snow became a naturalized American citizen. Hank Snow had a very long music career, which lasted sixty years. He died in 1999, at the age of 85.
Ha! Sounds like the 40s or 50s... That was Hank's time! 😀 And with "I'm movin' on" you choose his biggest Hit from the 50s! :) Hank made records from the 30s up to the 80s. His last album was a duet-album with Willie Nelson! :) Hank was a great guitar-picker too! Check out his "I've been everywhere"... That's a crazy song! ;) By the way: A Bluegrass-Band called Southern Raised had recorded Dolly's "Jolene". ;)
Most of the old timers like him and his group performed , in what they referred to as in the round! One microphone and they all stood around it. When they featured one performer they stepped up so the mike would pick them up better because most studios did not have much in the way of sound equipment. Very few had the luxury of microphones for everyone. Produced a pretty interesting sound. . Love your reactions! You are such a lovely delightful lady!
The suits you're enjoying were a major country status symbol in the 40s 50s and 60s...admittedly fading out with younger artists by the late 70s. The rhinestones, flashy embroidery and western themes come from the trademark work of the tailor Nudie Of Hollywood...who made these suits for mariachis, country singers, some rock and rollers like ZZ Top, and many other showmen and women. Porter Wagoner, country singer of this period, had over 100 distinct Nudie Suits.
Nudie Rodeo Tailors in California. World famous for outfitting the ole C&W performers. His grand daughter has carried on with the brand; with fashion for a newer grand of stars - Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Lil Nas X, and others.
I hope you still read these comments I'm pointing out here. The song is at that pace because the music is a description of a train going at a high speed, he's leaving, leaving on a train, very much sounding like Roy Acuff and Wabash Cannonball ua-cam.com/video/G-gwQkJOphI/v-deo.html, Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs - Orange Blossom Special - ua-cam.com/video/eCBdiutb-50/v-deo.html and in early Johnny Cash recordings. Even thou the song is called I Walk The Line - the song sounds like a train going by ua-cam.com/video/J-6fW66IUY4/v-deo.html A shufflin' beat, you can picture Johnny Cash on a train or even riding a horse. My Mother loved the Fiddle cause it could be played to sound like a train. Harmonicas can be used for that too. This is all apart of why story telling is a part of Country music.
Britt please please please do a reaction to the great Jimmy Rodgers “The Singing Brakeman” music video. I know it’s old but it’s FOUNDATIONAL. Blues, country, and jazz all rolled into one.
Elvis did a good version of this song. "Hello Love" 1974 by Snow. See your reaction to that. Studio recordings are always better than a live version, though.
Britt: Hank's original recording was from 1950 ua-cam.com/video/9vPe8sEDRZU/v-deo.html . Ray Charles version was released 1959 ua-cam.com/video/MHTxs6p6Jes/v-deo.html which inspired The Rolling Stones in 1965 ua-cam.com/video/zp6rUlo_Oss/v-deo.html Three great recordings 😊😊😊
If you want to see a testament to grace under pressure on a live broadcast, I invite to search UA-cam for "Lou Rawls Coughing Fit" from the late 70s. I enjoy how you match a singer's notes and range instantly and I think you will love how it works out at the end.
The best description of the sound of old school country voice !
The reference to tuning in radio station l Spot On l
thank you so much! glad you enjoyed it!
"I've Been Everywhere Man" is another big hit for him. This guy is what my father would refer to as country with Jimmy Rodgers , Johnny Cash, and Wilf Carter etc.

he did..he grew up in a place called Liverpool nova scotia...source he is my 3rd cousin
There's a Hank Snow museum in his hometown of Liverpool, Nova Scotia, Canada. I stayed in Liverpool one Christmas and remember driving right past it.
He was absolutely country music!! From his singing to his band's pickin and instruments. The very definition of country music. His twang is real, not the fake twang these people do nowadays.

Another famous song by Hank Snow is "I’ve Been Everywhere." It's interesting that he sounds like he's from the deep south but he's actually Canadian.
My dad's favorite singer when I was a kid. My dad had albums of his going back into the 40s. Hank is Canadian.
Britt you nailed the whole vibe... from clothes to beat! Hank made you slap your knee 👍👍
thank you so much! glad you enjoyed it!

"I've Been Everywhere" is being used in some commercial now, isn't it? Fed Ex or something?
Love that song
@@edprzydatek8398 I think you may be right.

years ago my sister saw Hank Snow in person,and my sister was so thrilled because he winked at her,she talked about it for years lol
You're spot on with your description of his classic voice. You really "NEED" to hear his "I've Been Everywhere".
I live about 60 miles from the Hank Snow Museum in Liverpool, Nova Scotia where he came from.
New subscriber. I’ve been binging your videos today and I got to this one and was blown away because that’s my late grandfather. Im honored to see a newer generation finding and reacting to his music. Thank you for bringing a nostalgic smile to my face. 🙏🏻❤️
Gosh I forgot all about Hank Snow. We watched his show every weekend. He's wayyyyyy old school.
hope you enjoyed rewatching him!
Two of his best are "90 Miles an Hour Down a Dead-End Street", and "I've Been Everywhere Man">
I will keep them in mind, thanks!
You go where others dare not...drinkin' music for sure...keep it the great work😍
haha thank you so much!
You're about ready for Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. Fiddle and guitar country dance music in a really fun headon collision with jazz
I will keep them in mind, thanks!

The tempo is the beat of a train. Its a train song.....Hank is from Canada, i saw him in concert proabably around 1970/1971 with my mom and dad

He sings so fast but the big one "I've Been Everywhere" I can never figure out how he says all the places so fast, even looking at the lyrics.
hank snow - it don't hurt anymore
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
Elvis nailed this song, then again he always did.
Everybody loves a train song--especially a country train song, Britt.
You should react to I've Been Everywhere. Amazing song. Yes, playing the guitar was called "picking".

Britt the instrument you are commenting on is the steel guitar you might check out masters of the instrument like Robert Randoph or Paul Franklin
Britt please please please do a reaction to the great Jimmy Rodgers “The Singing Brakeman” music video. I know it’s old but it’s FOUNDATIONAL. Blues, country, and jazz all rolled into one.
Hank and the band gave us early rockabilly songs played on country stations. Try "The Gold Rush Is Over."
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
Next up from Hank should be The Wreck Of The Old 97.
Definitely check out "I've been everywhere". Great song.
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
You definitely should listen to the elvis version of that song.
ABSOLUTELY
Back to back would be awesome.
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
there is a part two to this song called : I'm moving in :
Should do Humpdy Dumpty Heart. Probably misspelled 😊
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
Elvis did a good version of this song. "Hello Love" 1974 by Snow. See your reaction to that. Studio recordings are always better than a live version, though.
Hank Snow recorded the original version of "I've Been Everywhere". Johnny Cash did a alright cover but not as fast or clear as Snow's
Check out I've Been Everywhere by him I think you'll enjoy it.
Lol, yes he said "let's pick". Whether it's country music or bluegrass music, they call it pickin.
Hank's the Real Deal. Country would have shaped up very differently without him.
You need to react to I've been Everywhere by Hank also please
Britt: Hank's original recording was from 1950 ua-cam.com/video/9vPe8sEDRZU/v-deo.html . Ray Charles version was released 1959 ua-cam.com/video/MHTxs6p6Jes/v-deo.html which inspired The Rolling Stones in 1965 ua-cam.com/video/zp6rUlo_Oss/v-deo.html
Three great recordings 😊😊😊
The Rolling Stones also covered this song early in their career..
that is so cool!
There's a band called taste what does the song they're famous for their guitar player being Rory Gallagher
If you want to see a testament to grace under pressure on a live broadcast, I invite to search UA-cam for "Lou Rawls Coughing Fit" from the late 70s. I enjoy how you match a singer's notes and range instantly and I think you will love how it works out at the end.
I met Mr. Rawls in the late '70s. One of the coolest dudes ever. His speaking voice was very deep.
Check out Doug Beaumier if you love steel guitar. Apache and Sleepwalk are 2 good ones.
Elvis does a version of this song that knocks it out of the park.
My favorite Hank Snow song is 90 Miles An Hour Down A Dead End Street.... ❤❤❤
Elvis started out opening for Hank Snow and he was his first manger till Cornel Parker stole him
Try Irish guitar god Rory Gallagher's cover, with a touch of electricity!
you should try wilf carter hes got some great songs too
I'd like for you to check out Running Bear by Sonny James please
Have you heard Elvis Presley’s version of that song?
Elvis Presley did a version of this song
Old school diss track.
I love Hank but I would love for you to listen to Phebe Snow Poetry man she's out of the 60s
I bet it's a real Nudie suit
This is the way country singers used to dress. Now, they look like they just came in from baling hay or painting the fence.
That kind of suit is know as a "nudie suit". If you google it you will many examples, and no, thay are not nude.
Did i hear jimmy carter???
