Perhaps best known for his distinct yodelling, he charted more than seventy singles on the Billboard country charts from 1950 until 1980, including the Number One hits 'I'm Movin' On' and 'I Don't Hurt Anymore'. Performing in lavish and colourful sequin-studded suits, Snow had a career covering six decades during which he sold more than 80 million albums, and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1979.
THERE IS A HANK SNOW MUSEUM CLOSE TO BROOKLYN IN LIVERPOOL, NOVA SCOTIA, APPROPRIATELY, IT IS HOUSED IN AN ABANDONED TRAIN STATION. VERY WELL DONE
I reckon Hank Snow was better known for his distinctive self taught guitar style. Hank was influenced by the famous Rail road blues singer Jimmie Rodgers and though Hank did copy Rodgers style in his early days, including the "blue yodel" he later abandoned this and developed his own gritty style of singing. His guitar playing was so good he once cut a duet album of guitar music with the late Chet Atkins, master country Guitarist and music producer for RCA Victor. Hank was with RCA Victor label for almost 50 years and towards the end of his waning career RCA dropped him, just before he would have celebrated his half century with that label-always thought that was a bit mean of them.. Hank Snow and his Rainbow ranch boys, with Chubby Hayes on fiddle gave really great live concerts and the singing and playing they did was superlative and sounded as good as, if not equal to their recorded works.
Unfaithful
Hank Snow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unfaithful, the whole town knows
You're breaking my heart secretly
Unfaithful
Unfaithful your cheatin' shows
You care for me so carelessly
You take any chance for a new romance
Unfaithful
Unfaithful your lies go on
While I go on loving you so
The song Unfaithful by Hank Snow depicts the emotional turmoil of a betrayed lover. The opening line, "Unfaithful, the whole town knows," highlights the fact that the singer's partner is cheating on them, but they're not the only ones who know. The pain and humiliation felt by the singer are clear throughout the song, as he sees his partner's infidelity as a personal affront. The line "You're breaking my heart secretly" serves to emphasize this feeling - the singer is being hurt in secret, while his partner continues to deceive him.
The song, however, does not place all the blame on the partner. The line "You care for me so carelessly" suggests that the singer recognizes his partner's behavior as a way of saying that she is not taking him -- or his feelings -- seriously. The singer is clinging to the hope that their love is enough to keep his partner loyal, while knowing deep down that it's not. However, the final verse reveals that the singer continues to love his partner despite her unfaithfulness, cementing the song as a classic example of unrequited love.
