Full Moon is a duet album by Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge, released in September 1973 on A&M Records.
The album was only ever reissued once, on CD in Japan, until an expanded edition was released by Real Gone Music on June 2, 2017.
[1] Coolidge had contributed vocals to Kristofferson's previous two albums, including two duets on Jesus Was a Capricorn.
[2]Since they were on different record labels, Monument and A&M came to an agreement to take turns releasing the album, with Coolidge's A&M going first with Full Moon.
As noted by William Ruhlmann in his AllMusic review of the album, "Despite Kristofferson's greater celebrity, the LP was made with Coolidge's strengths in mind.
In their place was a collection of mainly laid-back songs about love and relationships, a reflection of the singers' main passions at the time...The jarring contrast between Kristofferson and Coolidge's voices was one of the album's most striking features...Kristofferson croons along, attempting, though not succeeding, to soften his gruff style.
