Životopis
Snow mal pohnuté detstvo. Rodičia sa mu rozviedli keď mal 8 rokov, u starých rodičov dlho nevydržal a v 12-tich utiekol z domova od matky kvôli nevlastnému otcovi. Namiesto školy sa potom živil ako plavčík. V 16 rokoch mal už svoju prvú gitaru, s ktorou vystupoval. Výrazne ho vtedy ovplyvnil štýl prvej veľkej country hviezdy Jimmieho Rodgersa, po ktorom neskôr pomenoval aj svojho prvého syna.
V roku 1933 mal už Snow každý týždeň vyhradenú štvrťhodinu na rozhlasovej stanici v Halifaxe. O tri roky neskôr podpísal zmluvu pre vydavateľskú firmu RCA-Victor, u ktorej vydržal rekordných 47 rokov a nahral viac ako 100 albumov. V 30. a 40. rokoch často vystupoval pod rôznymi menami (Hank The Yodelling Ranger, Clarance Snow and His Guitar, The Singing Ranger), kým prešiel k jednoduchému Hank Snow.
Do USA prišiel Snow koncertovať po prvýkrát v roku 1945 v rámci Whiling Jamboree v Západnej Virgínii. Vydavateľská firma sa však zdráhala jeho album v USA vydať, kým tu nedosiahne väčší úspech koncertovaním. Výrazný krok týmto smerom urobil, keď ho Ernest Tubbsa pozval na vystúpenie do Grand Ole Opry, kde Snow neskôr vystupoval 46 rokov. Prvýkrát sa tak stalo v roku 1950, keď bol Snow už 21 týždňov na čele country hitparády s piesňou Im Moving On. Pieseň mala základy u prvých hviezd country hudby, ale zároveň sa v nej zreteľne prejavovala invencia Hanka Snowa.
Uvedenou piesňou začalo približne päťročné obdobie, počas ktorého mal Snow v prvej desiatke americkej country hitparády postupne 24 rôznych piesní. V roku 1954 mal výraznú zásluhu na tom, že v Grand Ole Opry vystúpil začínajúci Elvis Presley, ale bol sklamaný, že u country nezostal natrvalo. Snow so svojou hudbou prenikol aj mimo americký kontinent do Európy, Ázie i Austrálie, čo sa predtým žiadnemu country spevákovi v takej miere nepodarilo.
V roku 1958 Snow získal americké občianstvo a naďalej bol veľmi aktívny v koncertnej i nahrávacej činnosti. Naposledy dosiahol na vrchol hitparády s piesňou Hello Love z rovnomenného albumu v roku 1974. So začiatkom ďalšieho desaťročia sa ho zbavila nahrávacia spoločnosť, ale Snow naďalej koncertoval aj cez zdravotné problémy, ktoré prišli v rokoch deväťdesiatych.[chýba zdroj] Veľa času tiež venoval nadácii, ktorú založil pre týrané deti.
Posmrtne bola 20. septembra 2000 odhalená v Ryman auditóriu v Nashville bronzová socha Hanka Snowa v nadživotnej veľkosti od Billa Rainsa.
