5.0 out of 5 stars Not One Mediocre Song..., May 27, 2007

By	Stefanie Taylor "Author of 'Sippy Cups Are No... (Encino, California USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Quick story: I went to see Deb Talan (one half of this incredible singing team) on purpose at a little dive in Los Angeles that tends to have cool new music now and again, after hearing her song at the end of the movie "Lovely and Amazing." The first singer performed and was just great but when Deb took the stage something different happened. She has this extraordinary lilting yet purposeful tone to her voice that makes you can't help but want to own everything she's recorded. But then she sang the song "You Turned Me Into Somebody Loved" and I lost it. She sang it straight and softly and I knew right then and there I would have to walk down the aisle at my wedding to that song. As luck would have it, I already had a fiancee and a wedding date, but the song wasn't out yet. So a fan on her website sent me a bootleg copy as long as I swore to buy the CD the second it came out.
Since its release, I've played it at least a thousand times, I love every song and I've turned so many friends on to it easily. All I have to do is have it playing in my car and inevitably someone will ask "who is this?"
I have yet in this review to mention Steve's voice which is incredibly gorgeous, moving, emotional and blends perfectly with Debs. The songs are quirky yet all melodic. Don't you hate quirky for the sake of quirky? I say, if there's it's not melodic I won't give it a second listen. So thanks guys. And now I must run and review your next CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, again!, March 13, 2007

By	Jim Elliker - See all my reviews

I asked for, and got this older Weepies CD for Christmas, based on how much I enjoyed their 2006 release. I was not disappointed. The combination of surprising lyrics, weaving harmonies, and Taylor-like bounce, simply makes me happy. I sincerely look forward to their next production.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soothing, unique, and WONDERFUL!, October 19, 2007

This review is from: Happiness (MP3 Download)

I hope the Weepies keep creating. Their small discography so far has me yearning for more. Its great stuff with shades and nuances of 10,000 Maniacs' later works, which makes their sound SO appealing to this huge 10K fan.
