Blue Moon (CD)

Toby Keith has all the right credentials for a country star; born in Oklahoma, he was raised on a farm, and worked for a rodeo as a young man. In 1993, Keith became a success straight out of the gate with his self-titled debut album. From there on, the hits never stopped coming. In the wake of 9/11, Keith's profile was raised even further for his controversial, jingoistic 2002 anthem "Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue (The Angry American)" and his public feud with the left-leaning Dixie Chicks.

Long before Toby Keith rose to fame as the boot-brandishing "Angry American" of post-9/11country music, the Oklahoma native was a well-regarded performer who regularly appeared on the charts, but hadn't yet gained mainstream superstar status. On this 1996 outing, Keith, backed by his Easy Money Band, offers up a largely romantic set. "Me Too" finds him calling in sick to work just so he can stay home with his lady, while "A Woman's Touch" features the singer pondering matters of the heart over gently twinkling keyboards, and "Does That Blue Moon Ever Shine on You" stands out as a particularly tender, if not schmaltzy, ballad. In fact, aside from the upbeat tunes "She's Gonna Get It" and "Hello," the record is a notably down-tempo affair that calls attention to Keith's resonant vocals. A far cry from his rowdy, hard-drinking later albums, UNLEASHED and SHOCK'N Y'ALL, BLUE MOON showcases the sensitive side of Keith to charming effect.
