Customer Review Surprised this has not been reviewed already Back then even in Atlanta, GA it was extremely hard to find such an esoteric artist. Started listening to Townes back in the mid 70ties when this LP first came out on the Tomato label. WREK the GA Tech station would play Flyin' Shoes on their very diverse rotation and it's haunting melody is today as mesmerizing as it was then. I have every Townes CD made, even a few bootlegs, and this one stands as my go to CD every time I need the magic of his song. Out of the 10 selections, Who Do You Love, is the only one that doesn't seem to fit. Per the polls, there may be better CDs in his catalog but this one has my vote. As a bonus I might add that the liner notes to this CD and original LP are exceptional in their telling. .
