专辑介绍：
The Weepies，一只由Deb Talan和Steve Tannen组成的流行民谣二重奏。两人初次相遇是在Tannen的波士顿音乐会上。在此之前，两人都已各自发表过自己的作品（Deb Talan发行过3张，Steve Tannen发行过2张）。二人相互钦佩，很快就一起开始了创作歌曲，并且Weepies很快诞生了。
2004年，他们独立发布了8只歌的EP“Happiness”，并且在二年后签约Nettwerk厂牌。
2005年12月，The Weepies在此厂牌录制完成全新专辑“Say I Am You”，并于2006年3月正式发行。
特点是旋律简单，音乐流畅，人声舒服，清新自然。
有女生独唱且有男声独唱，亦有男女声混唱，美丽却不张扬。
淡淡的感觉带着简洁和清新的味道，细腻的吉他，抒情的歌词，非常值得品味。

英文专辑介绍The Weepies (Steve Tannen and Deb Talan) have never pretended to be anything that they're not, which is, briefly, sentimental, melodic folk-pop, with harmonious vocals and gently picked guitars. They accept this, they relish in it, they did it well on Happiness, and they continue to do so on their 13-track major-label debut. Being that the title of the record, Say I Am You, is a quote from 13th century writer Jelaluddin Rumi, known for his intense spiritual and passionate poems, it is not a surprise that the album is all about love. Sometimes the love is hidden or lost ("World Spins Madly On," for example), sometimes it's false, but mainly it's a love that has been gratefully found and cherished. And for the most part, the Weepies manage to discuss and explore this without falling into the trappings of typically saccharine infatuated musings. "Take It from Me," the album's opener, has Talan trying, vainly, to find metaphors for her incomparable beloved ("a favorite pair of shoes?" or "a window the sun shines through?" she wonders), and the rest of the album pretty much follows suit. The songs are simple and pretty and generally uplifting, basking in the glow of being happily smitten, but not blind to the misfortunes of others in the world. The tracks on which Tannen sings the lead vocals are actually the most pessimistic of them all (the David Gray-like "Love Doesn't Last Too Long," for instance) or at least the most ambiguous, and provide more of a cynical, or perhaps just sad, perspective on the theme. Tannen's voice is nice, but it's nowhere near as charming as that of his counterpart's: he's much better suited to the role of backup harmony, and probably because of this he sings lead on only about one-third of the album. Talan's voice, instead, is a pleasant reminder of the chick-folk/rock stars of the '90s, but she adds her own sweet innocence that fits perfectly with the love songs, the twinkling guitar, the literate wordplay, the scalar melodies. Say I Am You is not groundbreaking music, but the Weepies know what they're doing, and they know how they feel, and they're not afraid to sing about it.
