“True Blood’s” Calamar faces a different challenge, fitting pre-recorded songs and newly scored music to the doings of the hot-blooded denizens of the fictional Louisiana town of Bon Temps.

He does it, in part, by linking music genres to different characters.

“It’s based on the character, but also the time and space they’re living in, ” Calamar said. “Jason Stackhouse has more of a bad-ass rock or country-rock kind of thing, where Sookie might be more of a Southern female singer-songwriter kind of sound. Lafayette has his sort of wild, gay Lafayette music. Depending on the scene, that’s definitely a factor. In Lafayette’s house or Jason’s house, we want to put music that sort of helps inform their character.”

Calamar, author of the new book “Record Store Days” — a celebration of indie music retailers — said the success of “True Blood” has begun to attract to the series original song contributions from established artists.

For the upcoming season, Elvis Costello and Lucinda Williams have collaborated on a song. There also will be new tunes from Beck and Robbie Robertson.
