A great album, but the track from Headbone is only on the Deluxe edition. Both have the same cover artwork, and I mistakenly purchased the standard version, to my huge disappointment.

However, the deluxe edition does contain explicit lyrics, so if you're shopping for a kid...wait, you let your kids watch True Blood? Never mind, swearing isn't your biggest problem.

if you're a trubie like so many of us are ...then you'll buy most anything that comes along that has even the slightest hint of 'blood.' I have volume 1 - wasn't in love with it. volume 2 is so much better! It has another excellent bluesy song by jace... and many other great tracks. point being, i'm very happy to be listening to it right now as i type this review :)=

Like the show it supports, this music lets out a throaty, organic wail that doesn't let go. It runs from blues and early rock (Screamin' Jay Hawkins and some Willie Dixon covers) to alternative country (Chuck Prophet and Buddy & Julie Miller) to progressive electronic rock (Beck and King Britt) without the slightest hiccup. It punches you in the gut, drags you through the swamp, and wakes you with a hard splash of warm bayou water.

Just like True Blood, this album taps primal emotions, core fears, and the desire to cut loose and run wild. Its guitar-driven instrumentals and shouting vocals tap a part of our souls which society would silence. If you ever feel too cheerful, too weak, or too distant from your raw roots in the primeval soup, this CD will fill your bill. But be warned: it's muscular and unrefined, and once it gets its hooks in, it won't let go easily.

Received this as a gift. We're ardent True Blood fans. This mix of eclectic dark-themed music sets the tone for more True Blood viewing. We've started listening more closely to the sound track to see if we hear any of these songs while watching the series.
I would have liked to have the Jace Everett theme song as a bonus (yes, I know it's on the season 1 CD) but still like the odd-ball tunes. One of them is stuck in my head as I write

I am a true fan of TrueBlood! I like the songs on this CD. They have that dark theme like the series. The sound ranges from the New Orleans type sound to country music and rock. It's great for people with various music interests like me.

As long Ive been watching the show Ive always said I wish they had a soundtrack then here I found them I am very glad someone decided to put them together

I love this album!! I didn't have much expectation to be honest, but it's very light-hearted and sexy and fun. It captures the southern spirit of Bon Temps and the show's second season.
Highly recommended.

The series has interesting musical choices, pertinent to theme of the series itself and its geographical setting. Both Volume 1 and Volume 2 are great musical picks. The music is very lively, the tracks have great rhythms and unique styles. A must for the living and vampires alike!

I have all three volumes of music from True Blood. These songs are very interesting from the opening song Bad Things to all the other songs, they have a unique sound. I am very pleased with these CD's.

any soundtrack that includes the artists featured on this one, has to be fantastic, and this one is.
not a weak sister or song in the collection; and thanks to the powers that be for including a chuck prophet
song. no better artist on the planet.
all soundtracks should be as good as this one; most aren't.
great music to listen to when you're sipping your fresh bottle of trueblood.
