In 1997,
The Essential Hank Snow replaced I'm Movin' On & Other Country Hits as the one essential, single-disc retrospective of
Snow's classic hits currently on the market. While it isn't quite as listenable as its direct predecessor,
The Essential still captures all of
Snow's styles, from Hawaiian music and country boogie to his famous traveling songs, featuring most of his best-known songs ("I'm Moving On," "The Rhumba Boogie," "Yellow Roses," "Silver Bell," "The Gal Who Invented Kissin'") along the way. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
