Settle Down(Goin’ Down That Highway)/Gone The Rainbow/Flora/Pretty Mary/Puff The Magic Dragon/This Land Is Your Land/Man Come Into Egypt/Old Coat/Tiny Sparrow/Big Boat/Morning Train/A’Soalin

Iconic sixties folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary followed up their chart topping debut album with Moving. Includes the US No. 2 hit single Puff The Magic Dragon, an all time favourite children's song. (US:2)

“Moving presents an album full of a wide variety of folk numbers, but the overall sound takes on a more serious tone when compared with their debut. This seriousness comes at the hands of a few tracks, most notably Gone The Rainbow and Old Coat. This allows the group to broaden their sound and further appeal to listeners like myself. I have come to appreciate both the fast, energetic tracks and the slower, more sombre ones as well.”

"One of the epochal albums of the sixties, Moving is the one of the trinity of first albums recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary. Not a loser in the collection, and many are almost too beautiful for words. A terrific snapshot of early sixties zeitgeist, and a rather sad reminder of how much more innocent and optimistic we were then.”

"This fine album convincingly demonstrates that this trio were well ahead of their time. The brilliance of their singing and guitar playing is best illustrated on the final track, A Soalin."

"This Land Is Your Land shines very brightly on this album, it's easily a major highlight. Settle Down (Goin' Down That Highway) has great guitar work and Peter, Paul & Mary harmonize this very well."

"Their music is comforting, thought provoking and lyrical. The harmonies are beautiful and the songs are haunting."

“Of the songs they wrote themselves, Puff The Magic Dragon is one of the finest children's songs ever written."

“Showcased here, of course, is Mary Travers' voice, an instrument of such crystalline purity that it has something of the angels in it. Paul and Peter back her up beautifully, content to let her be (usually) the main vocalist while they harmonize."
