Elektra/Atlantic Records released a True Blood soundtrack on May 19, 2009. True Blood is an American television drama series created and produced by Alan Ball. It is based on the Sookie Stackhouse book series (known as The Southern Vampire Mysteries) by Charlaine Harris. The show is broadcast on the premium cable network HBO in the United States. True Blood details the co-existence of vampires and humans in Bon Temps, a fictional small northern Louisiana town. The series centers on Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), a telepathic waitress at a bar, who falls in love with vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer). Gary Calamar, the music supervisor for the series, said his goal for the soundtrack to the show that is to create something "swampy, bluesy and spooky" and to feature local Louisiana musicians. The main theme song is "Bad Things" by country music artist Jace Everett, from his 2005 self-titled debut. True Blood has reportedly become HBO's most popular series since The Sopranos and Sex and the City. A minute-long promotional video advertising season two, which featured Bob Dylan's "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'," was released via Entertainment Tonight in early May 2009. American writer, director, actor and producer Alan E. Ball is noted for writing American Beauty, and creating and producing the HBO television show Six Feet Under.
