Hideaway

Say I Am You The Weepies are a duo of songwriters Deb Talan and Steve Tannen. How can one not help but be delighted when two such similar sound names align with one another? Perfectly matched, the thirteen songs are quiet but insistent, with lyrics full of pop smarts and poetic depth. Narrati...	Happiness	Narrow Stairs Narrow Stairs might be the first album recorded by Death Cab for Cutie since Ben Gibbard's former solo project went unexpectedly stratospheric, but Gibbard hasn't let it go to his head.

All I Intended to Be Emmylou Harris has always had a way with woe. On All I Intended To Be, she seems more maudlin than ever as she sings her way through songs about loss, heartbreak, even the odd funeral. Of course, this is the kind of material Harris has always been comfortable with, but as her car...	Fleet Foxes It's now twenty years since grunge emerged from then culturally isolated Seattle and Fleet Foxes, the eponymous debut album from the city's latest heroes, demonstrates just how much American independent rock has mutated in that time.

We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things Since 2002's jaunty Waiting for My Rocket to Come, Jason Mraz has developed into a more mature, well-rounded pop artist. We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things is his most multi-dimensional work yet, covering everything from groove-based material to ballads. While tracks such as "Mak...	Asking for Flowers After a three-year hiatus to catch up on life in her native Ontario, Kathleen Edwards has done nothing to separate herself from the small pool of North America's fast-rising songwriters, in which she is a deeply immersed member.

Sorry I am slow in responding (Family death) - but you were very quick in your delivery and I certainly appreciate all you do.

Great Talent
Newly discovered, Deb Talan, and The Weepies. I am a new (60yo) fan, and discovered her from an NPR interview. Highly recommend this contemporary music.

Evocative yet unique
This may be my shortest review on Amazon. I heard of the Weepies based on their input in Mandy Moore's Wild Hope, an album that I love. So it's no surprise that I've been quite pleased by Hideaway. It's a little quieter overall (thematically) than I trend toward, but it's great for chilling, listening to while working, or more introspective moments. I definitely agree with the comments about the quality of the songwriting; I'm particularly reminded of Simon & Garfunkel, only with a more modern and feminine sensibility.

My Newest Happy Place- Hideaway
The Weepies make my heart happy and this CD lives up to my expectations! From happy to calm to lonely and thoughtful, this album is fit for Saturday errands, a run by the shore or a romantic dinner at home. Be prepared to sing along, rinse and repeat!

What a wonderful sound...
The Weepies follow "Say I Am You" (one of the best albums of 2006) with "Hideaway." It continues the duo's trademark sound--hushed, ethereal vocals, lyrics that use metaphor and analogy to reference a wide range of topics, and understated, gorgeous production. The music is acoustic-based with deft touches of electric guitar scattered throughout. There's even a surprising little pop-rocker at the end. "All This Beauty" is a great kicker to a polished, heartfelt project. If you like groups like the Kennedys, you will swoon for the Weepies and "Hideaway."
