Widely regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of his generation, Townes Van Zandt earned the admiration of legends like Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, and Willie Nelson throughout his career. Flyin' Shoes, originally released in 1978 on Tomato Records, marked a triumphant return for Van Zandt after a five-year gap between studio albums, and it remains one of the most celebrated works of his career.
Flyin' Shoes is widely praised as one of Van Zandt's strongest and most consistent collections of songs, featuring thoughtful arrangements and a more polished sound than his earlier recordings. The first side in particular is stacked with quality songwriting that showcases the depth and emotional resonance that made him a towering figure in folk and country music. This 2025 reissue from Charly Records, manufactured in the E.U., brings this timeless album back to life for a new generation of listeners and longtime fans alike.
