New Moon Shine is singer-songwriter James Taylor's fourteenth album. The deep and well crafted New Moon Shine, released in 1991, ranks with the best of his production of the 1970s.

Highlights include the autobiographical "Copperline", the anthemic "Shed a Little Light", the angry "Slap Leather" as well as "(I've Got To) Stop Thinkin' 'Bout That" and "The Frozen Man".

New Moon Shine has been certified platinum.
