Often compared to Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake, singer/songwriter Kathryn Williams released her debut, Dog Leap Stairs, on her own Caw Records. The album received praise for its spare arrangements and unique perspective on British folk, and Williams began to assemble a devoted following. Released in 2000, Little Black Numbers garnered her best reviews yet from the notoriously fickle British press and would go on to secure a prestigious Mercury Music Prize nomination. Williams proceeded to record four more records, including Old Low Light, Relations, Over Fly Over, and the intimate Leave to Remain, as well as numerous singles. ~ Kathleen C. Fennessy & Andrew Leahey
