Okay, before I start this I have to say that when it comes to Ms. Deschanel, I am very biased. I love her, I think she is beautiful and seventeen different kinds of adorable. So maybe this has clouded my judgement, but I am about to say a lot of positive things.
So I may be wrong, but I love this album and think it is fantastic.. I loved the first one, and I love this too. For me, its great baking and driving music. A bit retro style upbeat mixed with country style sad ballads. It sounds a bit like Patsy Cline to me, a nice old fashioned feel. Which is odd, because as my Mum pointed out when listening with me, her actual voice sounds just like Debbie Harry. Which may be why i lean so strongly towards it, she has elements of quite a few different people and styles that I really enjoy.
There are a few tracks I really love, the opening track is superb, I often skip the last few just to hear it again, and 'You and Me' may start sad, but I find it makes me feel better after a hard day. That being said, there are very few tracks I don't enjoy, my Dad (who likes old country stuff) enjoys it, my sister prefers the first volume.
The thing is, this album? Not all that different to the first. Which means that if the first album didn't appeal to you, I wouldn't bother seeking this out. If you loved the first one, though, well that is a whole other story. Personally I love the fact that this sounds similar to the first. It means that they have their own style, and also falls nicely into the 'Volume' rather then album concept.
