Deschanel turns out to be a gifted pop songwriter with a knack for penning crisp 1960s-style pop songs like the glorious first single, "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" and singing them in a flirty, country-inflected style that recalls the likes ... Full Descriptionof Jackie DeShannon and early Linda Ronstadt. Ward and an all-star band of fellow Portland, Oregon, indie-ites, including the Decemberists' Rachel Blumberg on drums, set Deschanel's songs and vocals in arrangements perfectly balanced between Phil Spector bombast and indie-rock cool. The entire album is a joyous, enchanting listen.
Generally, it's a good idea to be wary of actors who make pop albums, but every rule has at least one exception, and She and Him's VOLUME ONE is an unfettered delight. A collaboration between actress Zooey Deschanel (ALMOST FAMOUS, ELF) and prolific indie-folk musician M. Ward, She and Him is not merely a case of a cult musician using a more famous name as an entrée into the musical mainstream: in fact, Deschanel is the primary songwriter here and sings all the lead vocals barring a pair of duets, and she scores impressively on both fronts.
She & Him: M. Ward (vocals, guitars, slide guitar, keyboards, electric bass); Zooey Deschanel (vocals, piano, percussion); Mike Coykendall (guitars, electric bass, percussion); Paul Brainerd (steel guitar); Tom Hagerman (strings); Rachel Blumberg (percussion).
Rolling Stone (p.64) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Together they pose as a great lost Seventies AM-gold couple. Their acoustic vibe conjures up a time-travel fantasy of key parties, hot tubs and Chablis-crazed groping behind the spider plants."
Spin (p.102) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he best songs offer a tasty blend of desire and innocence reminiscent of classic girl groups. 'Sweet Darlin',' in particular, will brighten anyone's gloomiest mood."
Q (Magazine) (p.143) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[B]eguiling....It feels as if they are making music for the sheer pleasure of it, and it's this that proves the record's abiding charm."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.102) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[B]eautifully simple love songs delivered with a summer-scented voice that echoes Karen Carpenter one minute, Linda Ronstadt or Peggy Lee the next."

Volume One music CDs
$5.75
Drawing songs, in part, from Elvis Presley's late-1960s movies, this 10-track budget-priced collection, originally released in '70, finds the King in full-on crooner mode. The opening title song is a pure easy-listening number, replete with lounge-tailored orchestral accompaniment, while "Clean Up Your Own Backyard" settles into a light funk groove. The concise set also includes the horn-laden "A Little Less Conversation" and the energetic "Rubberneckin'," both of which were subjected to high-profile remix treatments in the early 2000s. Although this disc isn't essential for the casual Elvis fan, it's affordable price and charming tunes make it highly appealing to dedicated followers of the King.
