Singer\/songwriter Mike Ness offers post-rehab tales from the wrong side of the tracks, alternately lamenting his past and declaring his allegiance to the rock \u0026amp; roll outlaw lifestyle. The band's slamming punk attack is leavened by an increased country and roots-rock flavor, as on a no-holds-barred cover of \"Ring of Fire,\" the gospel-tinged plea for salvation \"Ball and Chain,\" and the almost bouncy, where-did-I-go-wrong blues-rock track \"Story of My Life\" (sort of an anti-\"My Way\"). Most importantly, Ness's songwriting skills had sharpened considerably, providing for an expanded melodic palate and numerous infectious choruses, a fact not lost on radio and MTV, where SOCIAL DISTORTION was met with enthusiasm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1990-03-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1990-03-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Social Distortion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45904835641388,"sku":"MTSRPV-6QP3-TK","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/4755\/2812\/files\/social-distortion-social-distortion_TRkD6.jpg?v=1785919693","url":"https:\/\/b-side-records-vintage-2.myshopify.com\/products\/social-distortion-social-distortion","provider":"B-Side Records \u0026 Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
