Background information über 'Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes'

Social Distortion returns with their seventh studio album, a powerful testament to the duality that defines frontman Mike Ness's musical DNA. "Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes" serves as both homage and evolution, bridging the gap between the dark Americana of Hank Williams and the swaggering blues-rock of the Rolling Stones during their "Exile On Main St." era. This isn't just another punk rock album - it's the band's most soulful and simultaneously their most rock-oriented release to date, showcasing why they've sold over four million albums worldwide.

The album kicks off with "California (Hustle and Flow)" and maintains that signature Social Distortion punk rock roar throughout, even when tackling the haunting Hank Williams cover "Alone and Forsaken". What makes this record special is how it expands their sound palette without losing their core identity. The influence of heartland rock heroes shines through, making this an album that will resonate with fans beyond the punk scene. After a seven-year gap since "Sex, Love And Rock 'n' Roll", the band proves they haven't lost a step, delivering their most mature work while keeping the rebellious spirit intact.
