She and Him - Volume Two
Released: 05/04/2010
Double Six
She’s a successful Hollywood actress and he’s a solo folkie who plays acoustic versions of Creedence Clearwater Revival songs. Together, Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward are She and Him. Their second album is brighter sounding that it’s predecessor, and Zooey certainly isn’t winging it in the vocal department.
