Zum Start (16. März) der mit einem Golden Globe ausgezeichneten Serie „True Blood“ erfolgt die Veröffentlichung des bewegenden musikalischen Titelthemas Bad Things.

Red Revelations ist ein außergewöhnliches Album – Jace Everett zeigt hier sein brillantes Können als Singer / Songwriter – seine Musik erinnert an gefühlvolle und eindringliche Songs von Roy Orbison, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, oder auch Jim Morrison und zeigt die gleichen Quellen der Kreativität und Inspiration. Seine Präsenz als Künstler, ob als Songschreiber, auf CD, oder Live sind sicher der Start einer internationalen Karriere.

Die große Fangemeinde hat bereits sehnsüchtig darauf gewartet – jetzt sind die Vampire aus der Kultserie „True Blood“ auch unter uns. RTL 2 zeigt ab Februar 2011 die preisgekrönte US-Serie „True Blood“ erstmals im Free-TV. Die herausragende US-Serie wurde vom Oscar-prämierten Drehbuchautor und Produzenten Alan Ball (Six Feet Under, American Beauty) entwickelt.

Schauplatz der Handlung ist Louisiana. Japanischen Wissenschaftlern gelang die Herstellung von künstlichem Blut. Fortan müssen sich Vampire nicht mehr von Menschen ernähren und avancieren zu normalen Bürgern. Doch werden die Kreaturen aus dem Sarg von vielen Sterblichen weiter abgelehnt und diskriminiert. Und tatsächlich wollen nicht alle Vampire ihre alten Gewohnheiten aufgeben. Das stellt die Liebe des 173-jährigen Vampirs Bill zu der hübschen Kellnerin und Gedankenleserin Sookie immer wieder auf die Probe ...

The twists and turns of recent years set up the creative take-off of RED REVELATIONS, Everett says. “I did one mainstream country-rock album in 2005 (Jace Everett, his debut for Sony Nashville), and I was tired of trying to make music for a specific demographic, and started making music for myself.” The 2007 acoustic album Old New Borrowed Blues, cut live with just two guitars and an upright bass, was an album of “country-blues, soul songs if you will.”

Unexpectedly, a track from his first album, “Bad Things,” was chosen for True Blood, creating a new opportunity in the musical mainstream – after Everett had already left the major label. His plan for RED REVELATIONS proves again that having a chance is one thing; and knowing what to do with it, quite another. “I started writing with people like [album co-producer] Chuck Prophet, a hero of mine who doesn’t put parameters on what he does. It was amazing to get to work with one of your heroes. True Blood made that possible.” The results were both powerful and unfettered: “It’s really free; there’s hard-rockin’ songs like ‘Possession,’ and almost a Pink Floyd flavor to ‘Slip Away,’ but when you put my band and my voice on, it has a cohesion I haven’t had on a record before. Leave it to me to make an album in the age of the single…(He laughs, knowing the truth).”

To convey the creative wholeness of RED REVELATIONS, Everett and his band performed the entire album live, in exact track order, web-casting the show on the eve of the album’s release, from the stage of Nashville’s latter-day landmark 12th and Porter nightclub. The paradoxical intimacy of the stage show and the border-less nature of web technology couldn't be a better fit for the boundary busting of this artist and songwriter. “I want to keep making music on my own terms, the only stipulation being to push myself, to make the best music I can at that time," he says. "I just made the best record I have ever made, and I have fans coming to my websites, sending me messages, asking me when I’m coming to their town. Music people are not as prejudicial as marketing people believe.” On the cusp of a breakthrough moment, JACE EVERETT is satisfied to credit the acceptance of a non-formula album to a non-formula audience.

Rezensionen

,,In seinen sympathisch kernigen Liedern über Eheprobleme oder den Alltag von Arbeitern mag's der US-Amerikaner, vielmehr bodenständig und betont real." (stereo, 05 / 2011)
