Sex & Gasoline

Sex & Gasoline is the thirteenth studio album by American country music singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell. Released in 2008 on the independent record label Yep Roc Records, the album is a topical release dealing largely with gender issues in the United States, particularly the treatment of women in American culture. It is made up entirely of original Crowell compositions.

Crowell released the album at a critically acclaimed juncture in his career. As he focused more on artistic merit and lyrically-driven sound, he honed in on a central theme for the tracks. He drew inspiration from his personal life including his wife and four daughters. Joe Henry produced the album using a group of musicians with whom Crowell had not previously worked. Principal recording took place in South Pasadena, California in 2007.

The album received largely favorable reviews though it was seen as a lesser effort than Crowell's previous three releases. It charted on Billboard's Top Country Albums and Independent Albums and was nominated for Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards.
