No really it went something like this:
Matt Ward who goes by his stage name M.Ward was an unknown artist musician who no one really ever heard of and then he made it big yadda yadda. He went on to guest on albums with Jenny Lewis, Bright Eyes, My Morning Jacket, and Bruce Springstein.
Enter stage left, actress, Zooey Deschanel (‘Bridge To Terabithia’, ‘Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy’,'Elf'')
Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward meet when working on a movie soundtrack project in which they recorded a version of Richard and Linda Thompson’s “When I Get To The Border”and clicked as they realized how talented they were. While talking about their mutual love of old records, Zooey mentioned that she wrote her own songs, which she recorded alone at home on her computer. Zooey was weary at first but soon enough she gave in and sent her music to M. who was immediately impressed and used the recordings as a basis for 'Volume One".
When I saw the girl in Elf, I knew she had some serious pipes on her.
All in all, there are nine originals written by Zooey and two gorgeous cover versions. Track listing is as follows:
01. Sentimental Heart
02. Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?
03. This Is Not A Test
04. Change Is Hard
05. I Thought I Saw Your Face Today
06. Take It Back
07. I Was Made For You
08. You Really Got A Hold On Me
09. Black Hole
10. Got Me
11. I Should Have Known Better
12. Sweet Darlin’
Here's the cover still and track for "Thought I Saw Your Face Today"
