Produced by Brian Ahern, this eclectic album sees the iconic country singer tackling a wide variety of rock, pop, and traditional material. 'White Shoes' features diverse covers ranging from T-Bone Burnett to Donna Summer, blending her pristine, crystalline vocals with slightly glossier, contemporary 1980s country-rock production. The record successfully demonstrated her ability to traverse genres seamlessly.
