Blue Moon is the third studio album by American country music artist Toby Keith. Released on April 16, 1996, it was his only studio album for A&M Records. The album was certified platinum by the RIAA for sales of one million copies in the United States. Overall, it produced three singles for Keith on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts: "Does That Blue Moon Ever Shine on You?" (#2), "A Woman's Touch" (#6), and "Me Too" (#1).

The lead single was issued via Polydor Records, which closed soon afterward and resulted in Keith moving to A&M for the album's release proper. Mercury Records took over for the third single. Keith later said that he was only with A&M briefly for fifteen weeks.[1]

Personnel

Additional background vocals on "The Lonely" provided by Chuck Cannon and Lari White.
