About The Song
“Blue Moon of Kentucky” is a famous bluegrass song written by Bill Monroe and first recorded by his band, the Blue Grass Boys, in 1946. It has since been covered by many artists, including Elvis Presley, Paul McCartney, and Dolly Parton.
The song is about a man who is heartbroken over the loss of his girlfriend. He pleads with the blue moon to keep shining on her so that she will remember him and come back to him. The song is characterized by its driving banjo and guitar riffs and its high, lonesome vocals. It is a classic example of bluegrass music and has been enjoyed by listeners for generations.
