Voyage was the second record released during Christy Moore's brief association with Atlantic Records in the late '80s. It is an unusual album for Moore in that it consists almost entirely of covers of other songwriters, with only one track ("Middle of the Island") co-written by the singer.

The Christy Moore Collection, Pt. 2 contains 17 songs recorded between 1983 and 1996. This is by no means a definitive compilation -- Moore rarely recorded anything less than fine, and this is just a sampling of what makes him one of the best Irish folk artists of his time.
