About this album

Blood, Sweat And Tears finds Johnny Cash deepening the stark, story-driven style that made him one of country music’s defining voices. Issued in 1962, the album leans into folk and work-song traditions, with Cash’s low baritone giving songs of labour, hardship and perseverance an unsentimental weight. Pieces such as The Legend Of John Henry's Hammer and Chain Gang reflect his fascination with marginal lives and American folklore, while the set as a whole helps bridge traditional country, folk revival sensibilities and Cash’s emerging outlaw persona. It stands as an important early statement in a career that would reshape American roots music.
