New Moon Shine


New Moon Shine is the thirteenth studio album by singer-songwriter James Taylor released in 1991. The album peaked at number 37 on the Billboard 200 chart and certified platinum. The album was producer-pianist Don Grolnick's sixth and final studio album with Taylor prior to his death in 1996 at age 48 from Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Reception

The album received generally positive reviews; The New York Times’s Stephen Holden observed that New Moon Shine "finds near the top of his form in songs like 'Slap Leather,' a playfully pungent rock-and-roll critique of social and environmental ills, and 'Copperline,' a nostalgic ballad remembering his North Carolina roots."
Fairport Convention covered "The Frozen Man" on their album Old New Borrowed Blue.
