Christy Moore has today shared a further single from his new studio album, Flying into Mystery, which will be released worldwide on 19th November 2021. Listen to Johnny Boy below, a Gary Moore cover that featured on his 1987 album, Wild Frontier, and was a tribute to Thin Lizzy bandmate, Phil Lynott. It’s a moving lament, accentuated here by Christy’s fine vocals and a beautiful arrangement featuring uilleann pipes.
Featuring twelve songs, Flying into Mystery is a collection that Christy has brought to life through his distinctive writing and unique interpretation of other Artist’s songs.
Speaking about his latest project, Christy said ‘It has been a very different album recording process this time around…. Since 1969 I have been involved in recording but never with a total absence of live performance. Since March 2020 all my focus has been on this album. Once more I’ve been privileged to receive some great songs which kept me well occupied. I produced with Jim Higgins and David Meade engineered the project. There are songs from Ricky Lynch, Paul Doran, Mick Hanly, Wally Page, Tom Tuohy, Gary Moore, Jim Page and Bob Dylan. These sit side by side with traditional songs and a couple of my own offerings. …Thanks for listening….’ Christy Moore.
