Originally released in 1978, Flyin’ Shoes marked Townes Van Zandt’s eighth studio album and his debut for Tomato Records, run by longtime manager Kevin Eggers. Produced by the legendary Chips Moman at American Studios in Nashville, the album revisits material originally intended for the shelved 7 Come 11 sessions from 1973 — many of which were re-recorded with new nuance and depth.

From the aching poetry of “No Place to Fall” to the hypnotic beauty of the title track, and the rugged grace of “Loretta”, Flyin’ Shoes stands as one of Van Zandt’s most critically acclaimed and emotionally resonant albums. Songs like “Rex’s Blues” and “Pueblo Waltz” showcase the troubadour at his lyrical peak — vulnerable, wise, and timeless.

A must-have vinyl reissue for fans of American folk, country, and singer-songwriter storytelling, Flyin’ Shoes remains a haunting, quietly profound masterpiece in the Townes canon.
