The Muscle Shoals songwriter whose 'Bad Things' became the True Blood theme.
For a quick sense of his sound, 'Bad Things' and 'Your Man' frame it well, that mix of dark blues and personal storytelling.
His song 'Bad Things' became the opening theme for HBO's True Blood in 2003, introducing his gritty blues sound to a wider audience. That track, along with 'Your Man' and 'That's The Kind Of Love I'm In,' shows his knack for blending personal themes with a raw vocal style and guitar work. He's kept that approach across albums like Red Rock and Terra Rosa, working with artists like Emmylou Harris along the way.
He came out of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and his 2005 album Bad Things included the title track that True Blood used. Since then he's put out records like I Am Not a Man in 2011 and Terra Rosa in 2019, with songs like 'Little Black Dress' and 'Burn For You' continuing his blues-influenced writing.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
