Slow Dancing with the Moon Songwriting Credits by Dolly Parton

Released February 23, 1993, on Columbia Records, Slow Dancing with the Moon was co-produced by Steve Buckingham and Parton and recorded around October 1992 as a mainstream country project running approximately 40 minutes. Parton wrote or co-wrote the majority of the material, with co-writing credits going to Mac Davis on 'Full Circle' and the title track, and to Chuck Cannon on 'Why Can't We?', while Jackie DeShannon's 'Put a Little Love in Your Heart' was the notable cover. The album enlisted an impressive array of duet partners (including Collin Raye, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Kathy Mattea, Tanya Tucker, Billy Ray Cyrus, Pam Tillis, Marty Stuart, Maura O'Connell, and Billy Dean), reflecting the era's taste for country star collaborations. 'Romeo' was the strongest charting single, reaching the top 30, though 'More Where That Came From' and 'Full Circle' underperformed on radio. The album peaked at number 4 on U.S. country albums and number 16 on the Billboard 200, earned RIAA Platinum certification, and accumulated 35 weeks on the country albums chart.
