White Shoes was produced by Brian Ahern, and was the final album that Harris would record with him.[3]
Critical receptionEdit
The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that "there's a hoarse, quavery quality in Harris' voice that's a welcome relief from the crisp, crystalline warbling that's long been her trademark."[7]
