She and Him's cover of You Really Got a Hold on Me is some kind of wonderful. "She" is Zooey Deshcanel of All the Real Girls fame and "him" is M Ward, of M Ward fame. The song really works, and so does the album too. Deschanel's voice at times sounds unconventional to the point of being flat, but that's only for a few fleeting moments. Overall their new album, Volume One, is good music.
