Sex and Gasoline is the thirteenth studio album of Rodney Crowell. The album peaked at number 38 on country album charts and 35 on the independent album chart and was nominated for a Grammy award in the category of Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album.[3]

It is made up of entirely original Crowell compositions and its tracks are described by Allmusic as "accessible and jagged observations on the conflicting poles in what it means to be a conscious human being who struggles with unconscious urges." Allmusic.com compares Crowell's vocals on the album to those of Bob Dylan.[4]
