Only acquainted with Jace Everett through his "Bad Things" theme for HBO's True Blood, I bought 3 of his CDs from Amazon to hear more of what he sounds like. This particular CD is amazing. It was recorded practically in his living room and the sound is immediate, unadorned and personal, which brings out the best in his voice and guitar playing. I have been listening to it in my car on road trips and really enjoy it a lot.

In the liner notes Jace writes "This is a live recording. No overdubs, edits, fixes, pro Tools trickery,tuning or whatever. There are mistakes, out of tune vocals, sloppy guitar playing and all the other realities of live music." Despite these disclaimers, the vocals and music are very fetching, if not perfect, in my opinion. If all the aforementioned attributed were added to this CD, I don't know that it could be made any better. Seriously. These tunes illicit powerful feelings reflecting on the emotions of relationships or make you want to get up and dance or fall into the arms of your loved one. This CD has has Americana flavor- a bit of country, rock and a touch of blues. If this muscial style appeals to you, then this is the CD for you- I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

I'm a big fan of Jace Everett and own everything the guy's ever done. I love this album, which is essentially Jace Everett: Unplugged. Barely produced (and I mean that in a good way), the music has a much more organic and honest feel than his eponymous album. This is definitely worth buying, though honestly, it's way cheaper to just MP3 it.

I loved the 'Bad Things' theme music of True Blood which led me to Jace's CD. It is not the same version of the song, if you want the same version you need to go to the MP3 down load. BUT this album is good. It is done live in the studio and has a 'real' feel to it. I get the feeling that Jace is not all that comfortable with the hype that his song has especially as it is a step sideways form what he usually does in Country and Western. This album is showing us who he really is not just in the musicality of it but that it is live - not mixed and tweaked to hit the jack pot. Listening to his album I hear a man who sings with his heart and expressed the journey of his soul through music. Give him a go. The masculinity that 'Bad things' gives us IS in the other ballads just listen for it.

I can't believe I wasted $34.99 on this garbage. Got it this morning and put it where it belongs this afternoon. In the trash!
