4-CD LP-sized Box-Set with 16-page book. The Singing Ranger, Volume 2 features 112 tracks, picking up in 1953 with I'm Moving On, and continuing to 1958. During these years, Hank became one of the standard-bearers of traditional country against the onslaught of rock 'n' roll. The hits grew fewer but the quality never slacked. The set features Hank's instrumental albums (including his duets with Chet Atkins), a rare single for the Canadian market (Squid Jiggin' Ground/New Blue Velvet Band), 23 previously unissued cuts, and unforgettable hits like Cryin' Prayin' Waitin' Hopin', I'm Movin' In, These Hands, Hula Rock, The Party Of the Second Part, and Big Wheels.
