Gone Girl is an album by American country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1978. It features the Rolling Stones' Beggars Banquet song "No Expectations", the original "It Comes and Goes" and Rodney Crowell's "A Song for the Life", as well as a version of Kenny Rogers' famous single "The Gambler", released just a month before Gone Girl. Three singles from the album, "Gone Girl", "I Will Rock and Roll with You" and "It'll Be Her", were released, but did not reach the country chart's top 20.
Critical reception
In 1981, The Boston Globe wrote that the album "promised much (a rockabilly recollection of the Sun days, a cover of the Stones' 'No Expectations') but Cash seemed uncomfortable with the material and the goods weren't delivered."
