"Evening Star" is a song written by Barry and Maurice Gibb, and recorded by American country music artist Kenny Rogers. It was released in June 1984 as the third single from the album Eyes That See in the Dark. The song reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.[1]

This track, along with "Buried Treasure" have backing vocals by the Gatlin Brothers. No bass guitar is credited, but it appears to be the work of Maurice Gibb, judging by the match to the demos and the slap bass sound on this song.[2]
