      Background


      Gary Calamar, who supervises the series' music, said his goal for the show's soundtrack is to create something "swampy, bluesy and spooky" and to feature local Louisiana musicians. The soundtrack featured artists C. C. Adcock, Cobra Verde, Lucinda Williams, Lee Dorsey, Ryan Adams, John Doe, Kathleen Edwards amongst several others. The album also featured the theme song "Bad Things" by Jace Everett from his 2005 self-titled debut.


      Critical reception


      Cody Miller of PopMatters assigned 7/10 and wrote "While the soundtrack to True Blood may not be perfect, it’s still a fine collection of songs that do more than just make noise." Heather Phares of AllMusic wrote "True Blood's songs capture the feel of the show rather than focusing just on tracks that scored the series' key moments, and this approach feels more cohesive and listenable."
