All songs were written by Peter Holsapple with the exception of "Feel Alright," which is a cover of a Cargoe song.

Production edit

The Sound of Music was produced by Greg Edward.[9] Van Dyke Parks and Benmont Tench contributed piano, organ, and synthesizer to the album.[10]

Critical reception edit

Trouser Press wrote: "The Sound of Music finds the dB’s continuing in the style of Like This, with similarly fine results. The country elements reappear on 'Bonneville' (complete with fiddles and mandolins), 'Never Before and Never Again' (a brilliant [Peter] Holsapple duet with Syd Straw) and 'Looked at the Sun Too Long,' which could easily be mistaken for a Gram Parsons tune."[11] The Washington Post wrote that "without the counterpoint provided by [Chris] Stamey's more adventurous songs, Holsapple's full-bodied but conventional tunes have drifted toward the insipid."[9] The Rolling Stone Album Guide called the album "polished" but "not entirely convincing."[5] The Spin Alternative Record Guide called it "catchy but complacent."[6]
