"Does That Blue Moon Ever Shine on You", or simply "Blue Moon", is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Toby Keith. It was released on February 27, 1996 as the lead single from his 1996 album Blue Moon. The song peaked at number 2 on the US BillboardHot Country Songs chart and reached number 9 in Canada. Keith wrote the song in 1987,[1] and first released it that year on an independent label.[2][3] It is the first lead single by Keith that does not feature as the opening track.
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling it "a perfect example of a Keith-penned weeper that is also a sensuous and languid ballad." She goes on to say that the ballad is a "perfect showcase for Keith's vocals, which have never sounded better." The song works well according to Price because of the "poignancy of the lyric and the way the production shows the strength of his voice."[4]
