 The album was produced by Michael Beinhorn.
 "White Light, White Heat, White Trash" is the last Social Distortion studio album to feature guitarist Dennis Danell who died on February 29, 2000, of a cerebral aneurysm at the age of 38.
 He did however appear on live album "Live at the Roxy" in 1998.
 It is also the band's last release on Epic Records.
 The album received Social Distortion's highest chart position at the time, entering the "Billboard" 200 album chart at #27.

 Stylistically, the album is harder and considered a return to their punk roots.
The Social Distortion 2001 Tour was a concert tour by Social Distortion.
 It was their first tour in three years as Mike Ness was busy with his solo project, touring throughout 1999 and the rest of the band was off doing their own thing.
 Dennis Danell was working as a producer in the Orange County area for up-and-coming punk bands and he was also in the process of recording demos for his side project.
 John Maurer had started his own side band as well, Foxy.
 Foxy had just released its debut album.
 On this tour, the band premiered new songs off of the Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll album like, "Footprints On My Ceiling", "I Wasn't Born to Follow" and "Angel's Wings" and "Road Zombie", although, "Angel's Wings" sounded almost different with different lyrics than its studio counterpart.
 They even played a couple songs that were rare to hear at a Social Distortion concert those days, "Hour of Darkness", "Backstreet Girl", "I Won't Run No More", "When She Begins", "King of Fools" and "Down On the World Again".
 This was also one of the few tours where Social Distortion did not have ANY opening acts.
The Winter Tour (also known as "House of Blues Residency" was a tour by Social Distortion.
 As its name applies, most of the shows were based out of the House of Blues in Orange County (Anaheim, San Diego, West Hollywood) with a couple of shows heading out to Las Vegas and Tempe, Arizona.
 Even though similar, this tour was not a part of the Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes tour, as most of the material played here was pulled from most of the band's catalog.
 This is also not the first time Social Distortion has done a tour like this, it has been done before numerous times since 2001.
 As with previous House of Blues tours, the band played rare songs and new songs and brought out guests this time, such as Billy Gibbons and Mike Ness' own son Julian Ness.
 They also brought out Eric "Jailhouse Blues" Von Herzen who played harp for "It Coulda Been Me" and "Drug Train" on Social Distortion (album) and they also played ZZ Top's La Grange (song) with Billy Gibbons.
 The band also premiered songs like "Far Side of Nowhere", "Writing On the Wall" and performed songs that have not been played in a while like "It Coulda Been Me", "99 to Life", "Footprints On My Ceiling", "Hour of Darkness", "Diamond In the Rough" and even played the White Light, White Heat, White Trash album in its entirety at some shows.

 It is their first studio album in eight years, since the release of "White Light, White Heat, White Trash" in 1996, the longest gap between Social Distortion's studio albums to date.
 The album was originally scheduled to be released in the fall of 2000, but was not yet completed, and it was officially 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's opening track, "Reach for the Sky", was released in late 2004 and became one of Social Distortion's biggest hits.
