First Songs, initially credited to "Gwyn and Will", is the debut album of British singer-songwriter Gwyneth Herbert and composer and acoustic guitarist Will Rutter. Comprising both original songs and standards, it was launched at London's Pizza Express Jazz Club in September 2003. The Herbert/Rutter song "Sweet Insomnia" featured guest vocals from Jamie Cullum.
Described by BBC Music as a "lovingly crafted debut", the album received a significant amount of radio airplay on Jazz FM and BBC Radio 2, and was promoted by Michael Parkinson.
The album was produced by Ian Shaw, who arranged all the songs (except "No Other Love", which was arranged by Will Rutter). It was recorded by Joe Leach at the Cowshed Recording Studio between June and September 2003.
