[3] In 2010, Moore joined with fellow Kentucky musician Ben Sollee to record an album titled Dear Companion, which was produced by and also features Jim James of My Morning Jacket and Monsters of Folk.
[4] Dear Companion aims to create awareness of the problems surrounding mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia, with Moore and Sollee donating their artist profits from the album to Appalachian Voices in support of the organization's national campaign to end mountaintop removal mining.
[6] In January 2011, Moore released a gospel album, In the Cool of the Day, which was inspired by an old in-house Steinway piano he played during a studio session at WVXU Radio in Cincinnati.
The album is a duo-project between Moore and frequent collaborator, Joan Shelley, a Louisville, Kentucky-based singer and songwriter.
In August 2013, Moore announced that his next album would be a collection of rare, previously unreleased recordings and collaborations with Jim James, Haley Bonar, Joan Shelley, and others.
