True Blood: Music From The HBO Original Series Volume 3

The Volume 3 soundtrack to "True Blood" is excellent! This is an excellent collection of songs from Seasons 3 & 4, and also Season 5, as well. All the songs on here are excellent.

The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's version of "Bad Things" and 3 other versions of "She's Not There" by Dick Israel and The Soothsayer, Lawentura & Paper Pilots, that are on iTunes.

The compilation is a great addition to the TB lover's CD collection! Good array of songs - modern, Halloween-ish, and old South! Must be the season of the witch, because I'm under TB's spell!
