She & Him
Interesting mix of a country folk artist M. Ward and the lovely actress Zooey Deschanel. During 2007 film Go-Getter director Martin Hynes asked for Zooey to sing a duet with Ward. The two recorded a well-recieved cover of Richard & Sarah Thompson's " When i Get to the Border" Later they reunited in Portland to work on Zooey's own material in Ward's studio. The two finally finished their album known as Volume One which has a few cover songs and originals that proves Zooey as a true singer and songwriter.
To me this mix has a definite country background but not so traditional. It sounds like a fusion of country and indie styles. This music is very very good, look for their album Volume one

awesome thanks cass!!
ReplyDeleteI love Zooey!
ReplyDeleteShe's an awesome actress (minus her awful performance in "The Happening") and I remember seeing "Elf" back in...2004? & thinking she had a great voice...
So, this is really cool & I think I'll look into it more...
i didnt think she was awful in the Happening, overall the performance of hers and Marky Mark was puprosely intended.
ReplyDeleteI always thought she had a good voice when she was singing with will ferrell in elf.
ReplyDeletei think she is sooo cute as well, i would marry her...dibs
ReplyDeletei think that guy from death cab beat you to it, haha
ReplyDeleteThe Happening wasn't that bad... Err kinda. But I like Zooey too much to knock at it.
ReplyDeleteI liked her in 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'
The movie itself always made me a bit sleepy, but I like the beginning with the costume party- cute, cute.
i liked Hitchhikers tooo
ReplyDeleteHey Zander, did you read the book?
