Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll

Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll is the sixth studio album by American punk rock band Social Distortion. It's their first album in eight years, since the release of White Light, White Heat, White Trash in 1996. It was originally scheduled for release in the fall of 2000, but wasn't completed, not being released until September 28, 2004. This album is Social Distortion's first to feature guitarist Jonny Wickersham, following the death of Dennis Danell in February 2000. The opening track, "Reach for the Sky", was released as a single in late 2004, becoming one of the band's biggest hits.

Social Distortion couldn't make a follow-up to White Light, White Heat, White Trash due to various activities, most obviously those of frontman Mike Ness's solo career, releasing two solo albums in 1999, one with original material, Cheating at Solitaire, and one cover album, Under the Influences. Touring for these projects, and matters pertaining to Danell's death, set the album back a number of years, before finally being completed in 2004.
