1978 Townes Van Zandts eighth studio album and his debut for Tomato Records run by his long-term manager Kevin Eggers.
Flyin Shoes features material from an aborted 1973 album titled 7 Come 11, finally released as The Nashville Sessions by Tomato in 1993. Townes picked up where hed left off and several takes from 7 Come 11 were re-recorded for Flyin Shoes. Produced by the legendary Chips Moman at Nashvilles American Studios, this album contains some of the Texas troubadours strongest songs. The rolling country of Loretta, the tough yet melancholy No Place To Fall, the brilliant mystic fug of the title track and the distinguished likes of Rexs Blues and Pueblo Waltz make Flyin Shoes one of the most critically acclaimed sets by Townes Van Zandt.
