Sometimes it's the excellence of the music – and sometimes it's the outfits:

 

Or maybe a bit of both. But what we'd have been missing if this was in black and white!

Hank Snow's finest hour may have been his bravura I've Been Everywhere. From the same 1967 session, looks like, but no colour this time.

Also, A Fool Such As I. A solid performance from the diminutive gravel-voiced Canadian (yes, I should've been a music journalist), but sadly pedestrian in comparison to Elvis's sublime version from 1958 – one of my all-time favourite Elvis tracks.

    Your link to your previous post made me think of Raul Malo. Finally, Youtube got his incredibly lovely “Beautiful Dreamer”.

    And on the same album, here’s Mavis Staples (with pretty nice photos):

    I hadn’t heard that Mavis Staples before. Thanks.
    Emmylou Harris, I found from the YouTube links, also does a great version of that Stephen Foster song.
