Dog Leap Stairs, Kathryn Williams' debut album, was released on her own label, CAW Records, on 10 May 1999 at the recording cost of £80.[1] UNCUT magazine in the UK suggested the album drew favourable comparisons to the work of Nick Drake and Tim Buckley.[1]

The name is a reference to Dog Leap Stairs, a well-known alleyway, with stairs, in central Newcastle upon Tyne.[2]
