"The '59 Sound" is the second full-length album from New Brunswick-based The Gaslight Anthem. It is the follow-up to their debut album "Sink or Swim" and was released August 19, 2008.

A 7" vinyl single was released on July 22, featuring the title track and the song "Even Cowgirls Get The Blues" on the B-side.

The album was simultaneously released on vinyl. The most limited color, white with only 500 copies pressed, completely sold out in its first few hours of availability on Vinyl Collective's preorder page. The second most limted color, blue, limited to 1,000 copies, has sold out. An undisclosed amount will be pressed on the standard black.

The album leaked in late June 2008 and was later released for streaming on the band's MySpace page on August 12, 2008.

The song "High Lonesome" references the songs "Round Here" by Counting Crows, "I'm on Fire" by Bruce Springsteen, and "Southern Accents" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Petty is referenced again on "Even Cowgirls Get The Blues."
