Pale Sun, Crescent Moon is the fifth studio album by Canadian country rock band Cowboy Junkies, released in 1993.

The Cowboy Junkies created the album within months of getting off the road from the Black Eyed Man tour.

In April over the Easter weekend the four band members and Ken went to Studio 306 in Toronto, operated by Bob Cobban, to record the basic tracks in three very long sessions.

Richard Bell had been in the industry for a while, working with The Band, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and can be heard on Janis Joplin's album Pearl.

The track show different faces of relationships, showcasing mystical with "Crescent Moon", reality with "First Recollection" and "Ring on the Sill", romantic with "Anniversary Song" and "White Sail", investigates dark corners with "Seven Years", "Pale Sun", and "The Post", moves on to metaphysical with "Cold Tea Blues", delves into the unexplainable with "Hard to Explain" and "Hunted", and finally ends with a song showcasing the distrust between one man and one woman in "Floorboard Blues".
