Flying into mystery

"Over the years he has developed a distinctive style of heart-worn ballads, angry protest, traditional songs and more light-hearted songs taking in the foibles of Irish life and a typical album will be a blend of these and will also feature a mixture of songs by Moore himself, or a writing collaboration or a song brought into his repertoire. Across a dozen songs `Flying into Mystery` does not mess with what has clearly been a successful formula".

"This isn't Moore by numbers (...), rather another solid outing from (not that he would ever think of himself as such) Ireland's greatest living national treasure".

"Spanning the climate crisis, Bob Dylan and turf cutting, the Irish folk great is as commanding as ever ... A masterclass from a unique talent".

"For the first time in a career lasting 50 years [Moore] was forced [during lockdown] to make a studio album without having first developed the songs in front of an audience. He's responded bravely with a mature set of exquisitely crafted blallads, his simple guitar picking burnished with elegant piano-and-strings arrangements. From his stirring climate change protest on "Clock Winds Down" to his deathless take on Dylan's "I Pity The Poor Immigrant", the results are both masterful and moving".
