CD Social Distortion – Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell

Released on February 11, 1992, Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell stands as a landmark release in the storied career of Social Distortion. Following the breakthrough success of their 1990 self-titled album, this fourth studio effort cemented Mike Ness’s status as a formidable songwriter, masterfully blending punk rock, honky-tonk, and cowpunk into a sound uniquely their own.

Recorded at El Dorado Studios in Hollywood, the album captures the band at their creative peak. With Ness’s gravelly, authentic vocal delivery and a signature "hillbilly bloodline" attitude, the record spans from high-energy rock anthems to introspective barroom laments. It features the band's highest-charting single, "Bad Luck," which peaked at number 2 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.

• Genre: Punk Rock / Cowpunk / Honky-Tonk
• Label: Epic Records
