Jace Everett - Singer, 'True Blood' Opening Credits 'Bad Things'

Jace Everett is the type of guy who takes life one day at a time. You have to being in his shoes. His story, like his music, is unique. Music is what he loves, and music is what he knows. What Everett's music isn't is folk, country, or even rock for that matter. So what is it? The southern American self describes his style as, ‘Jace Everett music.’ Everett was originally signed to Sony Records for his debut album which didn't fair well in the charts or in sales. Being dropped from his label wasn't the worst thing that could happen because right before he was dropped he had pitched a song to them called, Your Man. Now you've probably heard of this song before and that’s because it was a #1 Country song from Josh Turner but what you may not know is Everett co-wrote the jingle. However, one of the tracks off Everett's debut album entitled Bad Things happened to have a second life. That song somehow made it into the iTunes play list of Alan Ball, the creator of HBO's True Blood. Before you knew it, Ball was calling Everett for the rights to the song to be used as the opening theme for the show. Soon, fans of the show were starting to seek out this Bad Things artist known as Jace Everett. What Everett is giving them is a whole new album (dropped, June 2009) called Red Revelations (Weston Boys/Haywood Group.) Jace's 15 minutes might have just started, or is yet to start... and he's okay with that, as he tells Amore Magazine. "As long as I sell enough copies of this album (Red Revelations) to be able to make another one, I will be happy." He continues, "Oh yeah, that, and a cameo in HBO's True Blood wouldn't be so bad either." For more on Jace Everett and to purchase his new album Red Revelations visit: Jace Everett.com
