One Left Shoe is the solo debut album by the American musician Steve Poltz, released in 1998.[3][4] The first single was "Silver Lining".[5] Poltz, at the time, expected to record again with the Rugburns, and considered One Left Shoe to be a "sensitive" folk excursion.[6]
Poltz promoted the album by playing shows with, among others, Richard X. Heyman and Lisa Loeb.[7][8] He also took part in the "Frasier Fair" tour (so named by Rufus Wainwright), with John Doe, Pete Droge, and Glen Phillips.[9]
Recorded in 15 days, the album was produced by J. Steven Soles.[10][11][12] Four of its songs were cowritten by Jewel, who also provided backing vocals.[13][14] Jim Keltner, Leland Sklar, Benmont Tench, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones' horn section were among the musicians who played on One Left Shoe.[15][16][17] Jimmie Haskell arranged the strings; Van Dyke Parks also contributed during the recording sessions.[18][19]
"Forbidden Fruit" is about an interaction with a prostitute.[20] "I Thought I Saw You Last Night" was inspired by the death of a friend.[21]
