Like many albums of this period from prolific country star Johnny Cash his Sound Of LP failed to chart. Nevertheless, he was building up a strong fan base for his commercial success later in the decade.
“A nice little nugget of early Johnny Cash. In The Jailhouse Now is funny, witty and well played, and the original version of Delia's Gone is cool too.”
“One of Cash's better albums - the song selection is fantastic and the arrangements - even with backing vocals - are pretty good. Also, it features his original take on Delia's Gone which is great, and the excellent Sing It Pretty Sue and Mr. Lonesome.”
“I didn't appreciate the music or the talent of Johnny Cash until I was at an older age than my parents when they played this album. Now it is a different story and I'm glad I found this in their collection of albums.”
“The Sound Of Johnny Cash is the thirteenth album by country singer Johnny Cash, released in 1962. Among other songs, it contains In the Jailhouse Now, a Jimmie Rodgers cover and Delia's Gone, which Cash would re-record years later.”
“This is pitifully dull material, and the anticipation of hearing the Man in Black's original version of Delia's Gone is quickly lost as this rendition is far more peppy than dark. A mere curiosity as one of Cash's first releases, but steer clear if you're smart.”
