Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

10. Jack WilliamsAcross The Winterline

Now this, I do believe, was his first album, and what often happens is that the first album is better than the second or third. That’s not necessarily true with Jack but I did fall in love with his first album, and I just played it over and over and over then I met him. He definitely has bedroom eyes. I liked all the songs he sang. He has another funny one called Frog in the Kitchen…So Playing on the Runway, Jack has a nice laid-back way of singing. I look on this as we are human beings playing on the runway, we’ll never take off.
