Relations is an album of cover versions by Kathryn Williams, released by CAW Records on 17 May 2004. The album was a BBC Radio 2 Album Of The Week, and peaked at no.76 in the UK albums chart. [1]
The two live tracks, 'Hallelujah' & 'These Days' were recorded live at the Open Air Theatre, Regents Park, London on 10 August 2003 [2] [3]
Williams admitted in an interview with The Independent newspaper "I don't even like covers albums" but that "I'm not trying to better the originals or debase their talent ....more a case of trying subtly to put your stamp on what you consider a brilliant song" [4]
The album received mixed reviews with The Guardian concluding "The originals were better" [5] and UNCUT magazine called it "an unusual album of cover versions". [6] The MusicOMH review acknowledged "this may not be to everybody's taste (but) buy It and prepare to be seduced" [7] with Popmatters suggesting the album was "partly recognized, partly elusive, offering an irresistible invitation to explore it further." [8]
