Criminal, Jeff Austin Black's debut album, was released in June of 2005 with much anticipation from both Jeff's fans and music insiders. It is the dichotomy of Jeff's voice, both powerful and graceful, beautiful and raw, that carries the weight of the album, and sets Jeff apart. The album, much like the artist, is forthright and open, complicated yet genuine. Criminal is a tangible reflection of an emotive new voice on the music front and is an auspicous start at what will be a formidable music career.

Jeff's song, "Save Us All" was featured on CSI: Miami Monday, October 3, 2005 on CBS. Jeff's song played during the last two minutes of the show entitled "Prey" (season 4 episode 3). XM Satellite Radio is now featuring Jeff Austin Black as part of the XM Radio Unsigned program.

Jeff Austin Black appears at many of the popular clubs in Los Angeles and has expanded his live act to include Northern California venues, returning to his roots to play shows in both San Francisco and Marin County.

Jeff has put his energy and talent behind the Prostate Cancer Foundation, a nationwide non-profit organization. Safeway Inc., one of the largest food and drug retailers in North America, has partnered with the Prostate Cancer Foundation for the fifth year in a row to raise money for prostate cancer research and awareness. In June 2005, 100,000 copies of Jeff's EP were on sale at more than 15,000 checkout stands in all 1,600 Safeway, Vons, Pavilions, Genuardi's, Dominick's, Randall's, Carrs, and Tom Thumb Stores, with all proceeds going to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. He performed at the San Francisco Bay Area Safeway headquarters to launch the event and at flagship stores in the Los Angeles area.
