White Shoes is the tenth studio album by Emmylou Harris, released in 1983. The album includes a rockish version of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend", a country remake of the Donna Summer hit "On the Radio", and a version of Sandy Denny's "Like an Old Fashioned Waltz". Both "In My Dreams" and "Pledging My Love" hit the #9 position on the Billboard country music singles chart in 1984.
"In My Dreams" won for Emmylou Harris her third Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance at the 27th Annual Grammy Awards. The song was written by Paul Kennerley, who would become Emmylou Harris' third husband in 1985.
