The 1961 road accident that left Hank Garland unable to play cut short one of the most promising careers in country music. In 1949, Hank played on Red Foley's Sugarfoot Rag, and suddenly the world took notice of this incredible 18 year-old guitar prodigy. He was signed to Decca, and this set comprises his Decca sides from 1949 to 1951 and his 1957 Chic session.

20 titles including Third Man Theme, Sugarfoot Boogie, Hillbilly Express, E-String Rag, Guitar Shuffle, Lowdown Billy, and Foley's Sugarfoot Rag.
