Product Description
Album Description
Vinyl LP pressing. The She & Him story began in 2006 when renowned one-man band M. Ward recorded a duet with a girl named Zooey Deschanel. It was for one of the many films Zooey had acted in like Almost Famous or Elf. They formed a strong bond and Deschanel realized that if songs were acorns, then this was indeed her wintertime; so she sent her recordings to Ward, and those demos became the basis for Volume One. Aiming to achieve the warmth and charm of pop and country records from the early and mid part of the twentieth century, Ward, who also produced the record, and Deschanel, who wrote most of the music, called upon the help of a number of extraordinary musicians including Adam Selzer, Mike Coykendall, and Mike Mogis to help out.

Sentimental Heart,
By
This review is from: Volume One (Audio CD)
I am a big fan of Zooey Deschanel as an actress, and while reading an article about her, I came to discover that she had a CD out! I checked out the website for She & Him, and "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" was playing in the background. I immediately fell in love with the sound of her voice, and the music. My favourite song on the CD is "I Thought I Saw Your Face Today".Very easy listening, and reminds me of music from the 60s and 70s. Something you don't really hear anymore. I love it.

"making music the old-fashioned way: by hand - and with as few machines as humanly possible"Music the way music should be. Puts Britney, Christina, Rihanna to shame.

A Big Disappointment,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Volume One (Audio CD)
When I first heard Zooey Deschanels voice in Elf I thought it was one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. It still is, but she was really meant for jazz. I was disappointed to see that this album mixed 50's music with Country and Pop (although the label says Pop)and showed none of her real vocal talents (although she does show her song writing talents).It was a combination that some people might find enjoyable, most likely older listeners, but, although it wasn't exactly a BAD listen, it just wasn't a GOOD listen. It wasn't at all what I had hoped it to be.This CD may be a big disappointment after hearing her wonderful voice on the comedy Elf; but I suppose that I MIGHT recommend this to older listeners, ones interested in 50's music (by the way, I was not calling you OLD, I was calling you OLDER than me).
