"Charmed Life" comes from Cheating at Solitaire, the 1999 record on which Social Distortion's frontman stepped out under his own name for the first time. Mike Ness wrote it alone and sings it, and he produced and mixed it with James Saez, who also engineered, while Josh Freese handles the drums.
The album took a roots-minded run at rock and roll, with Bruce Springsteen, Brian Setzer and some of Royal Crown Revue dropping in across it. Some of its songs went back to around 1997, when Ness was writing while Social Distortion planned their sixth album.
