Several songs were released as singles from the album: "Maybellene I Hofteholder", "Mary Ann's Place", and "We". Maybellene I Hofteholder proved to be very successful in Volbeat's home country of Denmark, remaining on the Danish charts for 12 weeks and eventually reaching #5. A music video was also produced for the song.

The albums second single, Mary Ann's Place, also charted in Denmark; though it was not as successful as the previous single, only reaching #35 on the Danish charts and staying for 3 weeks. The song is notable for continuing the story line of the Ness family, which began on the bands debut album with the songs "Danny & Lucy (11 PM)", and "Fire Song", and was continued on the bands previous album with the song "Mr. & Mrs. Ness". Mary Ann's Place would prove to be the final entry in the story until the song "You Will Know" on Volbeat's 6th studio album, Seal The Deal & Let's Boogie, released nearly 8 years later. A music video was also produced for the song, which chronicles the aformentioned story from the beginning.

The song "We" was also released as a single and a music video was also produced for it, but the song failed to chart.

Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood features 14 new tracks, including a Jimmy Work cover as a bonus track on all editions (this song, Making Believe, was also recorded by Social Distortion on their Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell record but was originally written and performed by Jimmy Work. Volbeat's cover was based on the version by Social Distortion.). Seven of the songs share a common lyrical theme which will be continued on future records, the artwork is also based on this storyline. Cover and Artwork By Karsten Sand. The album was recorded in Hansen Studios of Jacob Hansen, who also produced the two previous records.

"Still Counting" would reappear on Beyond Hell/Above Heaven. On 21 July 2012 "Still Counting" was the number-one song on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
