White Shoes is Emmylou Harris's tenth studio album, released in 1983. It was produced by Brian Ahern and recorded at Enactron Truck and Warner Bros. Recording Studios in Los Angeles. The album marks a shift towards a more pop and rock sound, moving away from traditional country.
The album includes songs by songwriters such as Rodney Crowell, Paul Kennerley, and Sandy Denny. The song 'In My Dreams' was a minor hit on the country charts, peaking at number 9 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles. The album cover, featuring Harris in white shoes, was designed by photographer Jim Shea.
White Shoes received mixed reviews upon its release, but has been reevaluated over time as an experimental album in Harris's career. Although it did not match the success of her earlier work, it contains some of her most daring performances and is appreciated by dedicated fans.
