"When She Begins" comes off Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, the Social Distortion album that hit the racks in February 1992, and it's Mike Ness's song from top to bottom: he wrote both the words and the music.
Dave Jerden produced it and mixed it, with Bryan Carlstrom engineering and Annette Cisneros assisting on both the recording and the mix. Jerden gives it weight and a hard shine without sanding off the grit: tough, bittersweet and built to last.
