Hank Snow talks about Jimmie Rodgers

[deralteist]

This may offend some....but when I was in Korea we sang our version of Hank Snow's "Movin' On" .......

Yonder come Joe Chink running through the grass

I was 6 years old when Jimmie died. I still have most of the Blue Yodel records. Great memories.

one sir to another, why thank you sir! I'm from New England area of the USA, my dad had a successful local country band from the 60s-90s, I joined him in the early 90s, love most all country music before 1970, after that time it slowly went down hill, and went into a tail spin by the late 1980s. no comparison now. but thats fine, we got all the classics like jimmy and hank, and thats fine with me.....

I love Hank Snow, he was very good. I listened to his music when I was a little girl. He is the only singer who could sing [ I've been everywhere] best.

hank still my all time fav,

[Pentagonshark666]

Hank Snow,Jimmie Rodgers,Hank Williams and Marty Robbins were

the real country.today we only Willie Nelson.others are not country

singers.what a shame.old times were better.

Hank Snow was REAL. He hired out on commercial fishing boats as a teenager

and a guy taught him to play guitar. He was Canadian but we Americans love

him as one of our own, right up to that awful toupee Hank wore in his later years!

This is a tremendously insightful piece of nostalgia. I was blown away seeing Hank Snow interviewed in his later years. Remarkable about his influences from Jimmie Rodgers ... who would have thought he could have made it so big when his own 'idol' was so poorly known. Fascinating! Thanks for posting this.

Hank... a good friend, a good man!

I'm posting a $25 dollar reward to the first person who posts the video of Hank playing the song in the video shown above. It has to be the complete song and the one in this video. Post it and get a hold of me and I'll mail you the money!

[Pickinbuddy]

I'll be in Meridian Mississippi next week--and I will once again visit the Jimmie Rodgers Museum, and his gravesite.

[arniemcnally]

Thanks for posting this lovely video with Hank Snow.

I love his voice, he is America and he is country music, if you ask me ;-)

[ejdiii333]

[Johi2410]

I like Hank's voice a lot, not only when he talks and when he sings.

And he sure knows a lot about Jimmie.

Hank Snow is the greatest legend in Country Music. I love the man and have been a fan for over thirty years. Met him a few times . This video is just great. Look forward to more video's being posted on You Tube to give us Hank fans another fix

[briartlaw]

@laslos3 So do i love them both..

[5inthehole]

Damb it, now I got to go and find that "Blue Yodel No. 12" by Snow. Sounds like he's been living the rail all his life in this short clip! Thx for the posting!

[ijosef]

Amazing. I love Hank Snow, and this is the first time I've seen him interviewed. If you listen to Hank's very early recordings, back when it was just him solo with his guitar, his style was incredibly close to Jimmie Rodgers. Both are country music legends, to which today's current artists cannot even compare.

[markbrine]

I owe this man A LOT!!! GREAT, GREAT ARTIST!!!... But, even better, A GREAT, GREAT PERSON!!!
