background
at the time
Flying Home is a very sounding album. After the hard work to sound varied and lively on his debut, Christo wanted to make a more laid back album with a mellow atmosphere throughout.

He chose to do it with his Talking Fish trio and focus on their excellent harmonies. He had a lot of new songs to bring to the album.

This also marked the time CC worked with Vikki Clayton - he had just assited with her demos for her Movers & Shakers album and plucked up courage to asked her to sing on this album. He went on to join her band. It was at this time he started touring Germany.
influences
David Crosby, Buffy Sainte-Marie, John Sebastian, Alan Stivell, Dan Ar Braz, Jesse Colin Young
technical
The Music Kitchen was across the park from CCs house - 8 track reel-to-reel - 7 of the tracks were recorded pretty much live, others layering over midi pre-production.

trivia
The presence of Vikki Clayton on the album at a time when she hadn't had a release for a while did wonders for sales, especially when he started played gigs with her.

He also realised after making this album how many tracks were to do with journeys and distances - something he puts down to moving home a lot as a child.
