The Yodelling Ranger (1936-1947) [Box] (CD)Album Notes
| Miscellaneous |
| "The yodelling ranger" Hank Snow later changed his moniker to "the singing ranger" when his flexible tenor slipped to a baritone, but on these early recordings he still had quite a yodel. There is plenty of evidence of it on this five-CD box set of Snow's earliest work. Although it doesn't contain many of Snow's most well-known songs, it still shows off plenty of the skill that makes Snow Canada's greatest country artist. |
|
| In addition to Snow's early records for RCA Canada, the set also includes a lot of rarities and demos, which should prove interesting to collectors. This material was recorded well before Snow became a regular on the Grand Ole Opry, but the gorgeous voice and subtle guitar work that Snow fans love is already in place. While not the best place to start exploring this artist, YODELLING RANGER is a fascinating and comprehensive look at Snow's early career. |

Artist/Group
| Overview |
| Canada-born country legend Hank Snow started out in the 1930s with a yodeling style heavily influenced by Jimmie Rodgers. In the '40s he adopted a more straightforward singing style. It was the dawn of the '50s, however, that made him a star, with such smashes as "I'm Moving On" and "A Fool Such as I" (later covered by the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley, respectively). Snow is generally considered to have been the first truly worldwide country icon, his music reaching across the continents and influencing everyone from the Stones to the first wave of US rockabilly artists. |
