True Blood Soundtrack : Sookie, Sookie

What a cute review by the Louisville Courier Journal for True Blood Soundtrack.

Get your iTunes account warmed up for Tuesday's release of "True Blood — Music From the HBO Original Series," a surprisingly great collection of songs from the jukebox at Merlotte's, the restaurant and bar where your local vampires like to hang out.

Maybe it shouldn't be surprising. "True Blood" is, after all, a completely awesome vampire soap opera of the highest (and trashiest) order. The new season starts June 14 with Bill in hot water, Sookie in heat and Sam shifting shapes.

The show's theme song, Jace Everett's "Bad Things," leads off an album filled with Louisiana songs and artists — the show is set in Bon Temps, La. — and features tracks from Lucinda Williams, Lee Dorsey, Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, John Doe, Slim Harpo, Cobra Verde and Louisville natives the Watson Twins.

Download it after the sun goes down.
