| | Townes Van Zandt Flyin' Shoes CD Townes Van Zandt Discography of CDs
After a five-year layoff, Van Zandt returned to the studio for one of his most solid, concise albums. Unlike the compressed singer-in-a-studio sound of his early recordings, FLYIN' SHOES features sympathetic, organic backing from greats like Chips Moman, Jimmy Day Spooner Oldham. This helps Townes' subtly poetic tunes to come across. "When She Don't Need Me" and "No Place to Fall" are elegant love songs that depart form the country-folk style in the manner of DELTA MOMMA BLUES' "You Are Not Needed Now." "Snake Song," "Dollar Bill Blues" and "Rex's Blues" are classic Townes; dark, incisive imagery and simple-but-effective folk-tinged melodies. The title tune is a beautiful ballad that casts a hopeful eye toward spiritual redemption.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Recorded at American Studios, Nashville, Tennessee. Includes liner notes by Tom Terrell.

Flyin' Shoes
 $23.39   
Taking the place of the obligatory cd two-fer of GP and GREVIOUS ANGEL, Gram Parsons's THE COMPLETE REPRISE SESSIONS covers it all and then some for Grampires of all stripes. Produced by Emmylou Harris and Parsons cohort James Austin, this beautifully designed three-disc set includes one disc devoted to each solo record and a third featuring outtakes from each album's sessions. With fewer overdubs and Gram and Emmylou's vocals front-and-center in the mix, the final disc brims with the emotive soul and earthbound angelic vocals the two perfected. Among the final discs many highlights are looser alternate takes of "She" and "Streets of Baltimore" from GP and a "Hickory Wind" unadorned by the ridiculous fake crowd noise that ...

Van Zandt followed 1969's landmark OUR MOTHER THE MOUNTAIN a year later with this equally definitive album. The latter's big production is scaled down considerably here, and the focus is on a much more subdued, folky feel. The gentle acoustic fingerpicking doesn't obscure ...

Flyin' Shoes
$10.09
One of the best of Van Zandt's early albums. Like all his late-'60s/early-'70s recordings for the Poppy label, it's full of ostensibly incongruous overproduction. As on the early albums of Leonard Cohen and others, though, these light arrangements gain in hindsight, via their earnest elegance and the contrast they provide to the songwriter's dark visions. It sounds as though Townes' handlers were intent on marketing him as some strange combination of Bob Dylan, Glen Campbell and Bob Lind (not an entirely unjustifiable assessment), but the occasionally ominous, visionary songpoetry is too powerful too be pushed ...

"The Fairy and the Fireman is a positive, enchanting bedtime story created to promote healthy rest throughout the night. This seven-minute story is followed by 32 minutes of soothing music composed specifically to relieve children of their anxieties and to nurture their minds with vibrations of love as they peacefully fall asleep" said Ana Weinberg, founder and producer of Sleep and Shine. Ana Weinberg was born and raised in Mexico coming to the States in 1995. She holds a Bachelor Degree in Communication Arts from Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City. Her family has devoted themselves to the entertainment world, from which she draws her artistic inspiration. Her father, Xavier Garza, a musician and a member of one of Mexico’s most famous bands in the 1960’s –Los Locos Del Ritmo– is also the creator of the Soul Symphonics healing system. Her brother Javier Garza Jr. another musical talent in the family, is a seven-time Latin Grammy Award winner.Ana’s passion for the arts resulted in her creative talent. In her own right she has been recognized by the American Advertising Federation four times for her work as an Art Director. Although Ana’s work is her passion, it was the miracle of motherhood that truly became her inspiration to work with children. Sleep and Shine products is the beginning of a legacy for which Ana wants to make a difference in children’s lives. Her two sons, Mateo and Cristobal are indeed the cause of her true inspiration behind this work. Through them she gets to be an extraordinary mom who is touched, moved and inspired to promote healthy sleep venues for children and their spiritual wellness. Understanding from her own struggles of her own childhood and upbringing, she has continuously been driven to take courses which broaden her understanding of her spiritual education. She has been engaged in taking courses such as The Journey Healing Process, Transcendental Meditation, Landmark Forum, Ontological Coaching, ...
