First off, Jace Everett is fantastic - he has an incredible voice, really good, solid songs, a true country blues sound, and an amazing team of backup musicians.

That said, don't bother trying to get this cd. Go to his website and buy "Old New Borrowed Blues" instead. After having listened to it, I have to say that the gloss and overkill production that comes from a major record label release does his talent no favors. His independent, stripped down record is WORLDS better - the energy is almost tangible, and the performances are flawless - all recorded in the guitarist's livingroom in one take. His music, talent, and voice stands so much truer and richer on that record than on this self-titled release. After failing to purchase a copy of "Jace Everett" at a reasonable price on ebay, I downloaded it from iTunes, and I'm glad it only cost me ten bucks. I was so disappointed with how much was just *lost* amidst the flash and gloss of big-label production. Sony was clearly trying to shove him into the droll and dead mainstream country sound, and, after hearing what Jace Everett really sounds like, it was just disappointing. I'm glad he's gone independent and really look forward to more of his music on his terms.

2.0 out of 5 stars old cd for outragious price, October 7, 2008

I'm a BIG fan of True Blood and the theme song "Bad Things" is awesome, but chargeing that much for a cd that's over 2 years old is laughable

$79.99 are you kidding? usually this site has some of the best buys online, I found this disc online for $11.99 at best buy. it is out of stock, that is a savings of $68.00. "bad things" rocks. I keep thinking of that opening scene from true blood with that couple dancing in the bar to this song hot!!!!!!!!!!!
