From Nashville, Tennessee to the Beach at Waikiki - that's a fair conceptual leap. But I think it's fair to say that this album by Country'n'Western crooner Hank Snow does a fair job of bridging the gap. Produced by Chet Atkins, the delightful lap-steel guitar work is a highlight, and I suspect was played by Mr Atkins himself.
Another ancient and battered poece of vinyl that required heaps of restoration - the end result is surprisingly good - little surface noise and a purty darn good sound if I say so myself. The cover scans also reveal the work of some infant hand drawing biro additions to Hank's face...

For the first instant I was surprised by reading "Snow in Hawaii". But its a music album. That too from Chet Atkins..
Thanx very much for the SNOW IN HAWAII post. I've been searching for quire awhile for this.
Thanks for posting this. It sounds great!
Thank you for this post. I agree, it has to be Chet on the steel!
Jeez, I've never heard of Chet playing the steel at all. Kayton Roberts was Hank's Steel man for many many years and I would wager him to be the culprit first and if the issue is older, it would probably be Jerry Byrd
Hi Duncan;
Thanks for popping by - it's always nice to have comments from people who actually know what they're talking about...
