This autobiography of Hank Snow traces his life from humble beginnings to his stature as one of the most influential figures in country music. It presents Snow's life and career in his own voice, and provides the first extensive look at the early development of country music in Canada, reveals the inner workings of the music industry, frankly discusses the unglamorous side of stardom, and offers the reflections of an artist who has been professionally involved with country music for nearly 60 years.
