    Ohhh maaannn... I actually like this one!
    Ah, well. Respect your opinion, Seph 😊
    But yes. There seems to be a re- enforced theme in this album with songs like "Only The Strong Survive"; "You're Wearin' That Loved On Look"; "You'll Think Of Me"; "Inherit The Wind"; "I'm Movin' On"; and another I am thinking of but will not mention since you have not reacted to it yet, Seph.
    Even with the song "Don't Cry Daddy" the subtle underlying message seems to be that one can't hold stay stuck in their grief because the father has two kids that need him now more than ever so he has no choice but to keep living, to find a way to move past his grief.
    Now that you made mention of it, Seph I do think that there is an overall underlying theme to this whole album.
    Wow! Great observation!
    Anyhoodles, speaking of moving on...
    How about some info?
    I am sure you have not done near enough reading this week so far Seph 😉

    And now for Songwriter Info:
    Hank Snow
    INDUCTION YEAR: 1978
    Birth Name: Clarence Eugene Snow
    Birth Date: 05-09-1914
    Place of Birth: Brooklyn, Nova Scotia, Canada
    Death Date: 12-20-1999
    Place of Death: Madison, Tennessee
    Country Music Hall of Famer Hank Snow often relied on the pens of others for his 840 commercial recordings, but he wrote several of his biggest hits, including the rollicking "I'm Moving On."
    Released in 1950, "I'm Moving On" transformed Snow's career, and afterwards he became one of country's legendary artists. The song spent 21 weeks - more than a third of a year - as the #1 country song in the land. It spawned dozens of covers, including Top 20 hits for Ray Charles, Don Gibson and Emmylou Harris and notable versions by the Rolling Stones, the Everly Brothers and Rosanne Cash.
    Born in Nova Scotia, Clarence Eugene Snow would become easily the most successful country star to emerge from Canada until Shania Twain's emergence in the 1990s. His triumphs did not come easily, though. He was raised in poverty and abused by a stepfather who he later wrote treated him "like a dog." The only joys of his childhood came through music. He learned to play on a mail-order guitar that his mother had purchased for her own enjoyment, and he fell under the musical spell of the man who would become his chief influence, Jimmie Rodgers.
    Snow escaped his immediate environment as a teenager by taking work on a fishing boat, where he entertained his shipmates with songs. Back ashore, he sang on radio stations, billed as Hank the Yodeling Ranger, and made his first recordings in 1936 for a Canadian arm of RCA Victor. He had several hit records in Canada, but they were not hits in America. He yearned to find a U.S. audience, and Grand Ole Opry star Ernest Tubb helped him to land a spot on the Grand Ole Opry in 1950. His first U.S. single, "Marriage Vow," reached the country Top 10, but it was the second single - "I'm Moving On" - that brought him to popular attention.
    From the beginning of his American career in 1949 through 1974, every one of Snow's singles reached the Top 40 of Billboard's country chart. His recording career with RCA lasted an astonishing 45 years from 1936 to 1981. He was a sonorous singer, a highly skilled lead guitarist and a nuanced interpreter of others' songs, but his career was constructed with the guitar and writing utensil with which he composed "I'm Moving On."
    And that is it Seph & Seph's Dad & everyone!
    BRILLIANT REACTION 💎💙💎💙💎💙💎💙💎💙👌
    5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 OUT OF 5!
    THANK YOU AS ALWAYS SEPH!
    PRAYERS TO YOU THAT YOU GET WELL SOON 🙏💕
    HEY SEPH'S DAD 👋 HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL 💗

      @cherylspencer8024 One of my favorite actors is James Garner (my favorite movie of his "Support Your Local Sheriff"- hilarious underrated classic in my humble opinion). He had a horrible stepmother. He was not just abused by her but also by I think one or two of his stepbrothers. I can't remember if his Dad d*ed or not but I do remember it was bad enough that James Garner left home when he was still in his teens.
      Anne Miller another one of my favorites also came from an abusive home. Her father was a real piece of work. He not only abused her but also her mother who was a legally blind woman. So at 15 years old Anne Miller took her mother and ran away from home. She lied about her age so she could work. They ran off from Texas to San Francisco but made their L.A. where a 16 year old Anne got her break in a bit part in a movie.
      Later she ended up marrying a man that also turned out to be abusive. He caused her to have a miscarriage which resulted in her never being able to have children.
      I used to watch her later interviews and you know she came off as so happy and so humble.
      I was in awe of her as a kid.
      Thanks again Miss Cheryle 💖😊

    Hi Seph! So sorry that I too disagree with you regarding “Moving On”. I love its whimsy. It makes me picture him picking up his duffle bag, slinging it over his shoulder and heading away from a troubling situation. I do agree that the album as a whole lends itself to this notion. When we examine what we think we know about his life at this time, it fits. He had finally satisfied the movie contracts and experienced a successful 68 special. Both he and Priscilla must have known at this time that their marriage was doomed. What then was he to do then, with the rest of his life? For us, its history, but for Elvis, the next step in this part of his life was unknown therefore he could only move on.
    As always Seph, an enjoyable reaction that always calls upon us to listen with a more finely tuned ear.
    Thank you once again Sammy, for your constant stream of Elvis information. You and Seph make a great team. Love to all!❤️

      @taylorkingston9197 I agree with you on its whimsy. Plus for me the song is relatable. There were times in my life when I had to move on, maybe not in the geographical sense but definitely in the metaphorical sense.
      Elvis's interpretation for me is a guy who has not realized that it's time to move on but that he is more than okay with moving on and is ready to take on the unknown of the future instead of being afraid of it.
      It's not just upbeat, it's uplifting.
      My humble two cents only 😉
      You are so kind 💖 Thank you so much!

    This is an old country bluegrass song by the great country icon Hank Snow from the late 40s.
    Snow was a business partner with Col Tom Parker for a time.....until Snow got totally screwed out of his part in the career of Elvis by Parker.
    The song was a big big hit for Snow-Elvis' version is much better IMO than the Snow original but with Elvis you hear the blues influence that Snows lacked.

They have in a specific order 5 tracks from the 1950's , 7 from 1960 -1968, and 6 from 1969 - 1977. Never 2 slow songs in a row.

    Elvis’ version of Hank Snow’s song is kind of “mild” and over produced, compared to his. Elvis opened shows for Hank Snow. when Col. Parker worked with, and did promotion with Hank Snow. Hank’s son Jimmie was very good friends with Elvis. It seems to surprise a lot of people to find out Hank Snow is Canadian. He had a lot of hits.
