Little wonderful disc
Dawn Davenport | Baltimore | 10/15/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I first was made aware of Kathryn Williams in an article in Billboard which described her current success in England, and described her as a strong new singer songwriter in the folk/rock genre. Ms. Williams is truly a great new talent, and listening to her disc reminds me of the first time I heard Lori Carson's amazing debut Shelter. The lyrics beautiful with soothing melodies. Ms. Williams voice, style and phrasing allowing true emotion to seep through. Each song a story onto itself. I strongly recommend this disc to anyone who enjoys the music of Lori Carson, Dar Willams, or Patty Griffin."
Full of promise...

"Kathryn Williams' Little Black Numbers won a well-deserved Mercury Album of the Year nomination in the UK in 2000 and while this budding folk/pop album contains many delightful touches, it feels like the gateway to greater things.Progressing from the sparse, minimal arrangements on Dog Leap Stairs, LBN delivers at least two potential crossover hits on Soul To Feet and the mannered, brooding Jasmine Hoop. Worthwhile and highly recommended, Williams is an artist to watch."
A gem
alexliamw | Oxford | 06/08/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"A gem is a phrase all too often used in the sweet world of singer-songwriters, but here it applies. Kathryn Williams, along with the better known David Gray, is one of my two favorite singer-songwriters of the last couple of years. Her songs are intimate, her voice lush and appealing. The backing is subtle and effective; the tone reflective and gorgeous. The really special song here is track 8, 'Tell The Truth As If It Were Lies' which is the perfect acoustic folky tune, very catchy and beautiful. It is also great at night, as the whole of this album is."
