Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll is Social Distortion's sixth album. It is their first full-length studio release in 8-years since White Light, White Heat, White Trash in 1996. The album was released on September 28, 2004. A great deal of the album is a musical eulogy to former guitarist Dennis Danell, who died in 2000. The album has also been previously delayed for every single year after his death and Social Distortion has been promising to release it. The album's opening track, "Reach For The Sky" became one of Social Distortion's biggest hits in the fall of 2004.

[edit] Notes/Trivia
