Search - Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge :: Full Moon (Expanded Edition)

It is mighty, mighty hard to believe, but this famed duets album?which went to #1 on the country charts and #26 on the pop charts and garnered a Gold Record?has never been issued on CD outside of Japan, and even there only in the late ?90s on a limited run. This was a love album par excellence, as the two stars had just gotten married weeks prior to the record?s release in 1973; interestingly, though Kris Kristofferson, fresh from recording his country chart-topper ?Why Me,? was the bigger star at the time, Full Moon really played to Rita Coolidge?s strengths, as it was produced by her long-time producer David Anderle and set its songs in a higher key more suited to her dreamy vocals. The album scored a huge hit with Kristofferson?s ?A Song I?d Like to Sing,? and followed that up with a smash version of Tom Jans? ?Loving Arms;? the duo?s rendition of Kristofferson?s ?From the Bottle to the Bottom? also won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. In short, Full Moon was and is a stone-cold classic; and our Real Gone Expanded Edition not only features notes by Joe Marchese featuring quotes from Rita Coolidge herself, but also adds a no less than six unreleased tracks from the A&M vaults including a Kris & Rita duet from the album sessions and five more Rita solo recordings from the period! Cornerstone ?70s pop-country.
